Production Stills - Day Four

22nd January 2000

Darth McMaul vs Adamkin - a fight to the death (in London Docklands!)
Adamkin lunges at McMaul.  The lightsabre blades are painted wooden broom handles!  These will be painted over with a glowing effect in post-production.
The acrobatics of Darth McMaul.
Adamkin struggles to hold off the attack.  The lightsabre handles were designed by Steven McCombe and created by Bryan McCombe from solid aluminium - far better than those cheap plastic ones you can buy in the shops.
Darth McMaul - the most evil "man" in the galaxy?  The costume was created by Susan McCombe.
Adamkin momentarily loses sight of McMaul.
We shot these scenes in the early morning of Saturday 22nd January - and it was cold (as usual)!
There are some really interesting locations around Docklands - this one in particular stood out.
Duelling outside the Millennium Dome.  Steve, in his Darth McMaul outfit, got a lot of attention here - people were posing for photographs with him, and children were heard telling their parents "Look, it's Darth Maul!  Why is he blue?"
Darth McMaul, temporarily disarmed by Adamkin, uses a "force push" to keep his opponent at bay.
Towards the end of the day I had some spare time, so went to the top of the monument at Monument Tube Station to grab a few shots of the "Londo City" skyline.
