The "Pickups and Reshoots" webisode/featurette from the Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005) making-of materials.
It's one of the official short documentaries (webisodes) produced during/around the film's release, available on the Revenge of the Sith extras.
It covers how additional photography (pickups) and reshoots refined the story after principal photography, a common but crucial part of big-budget filmmaking—especially for George Lucas's prequels with their heavy VFX and evolving edits.
Key Context:
Principal photography for Episode III wrapped after a main shoot in Australia (and other locations), but Lucas planned for additional shooting to fill gaps, improve action, adjust pacing, and respond to the story as it came together in the edit.
Pickups often involved Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, and other actors returning for targeted scenes, inserts, or enhancements to fight choreography and key dramatic moments.
This process helped "pave the way to a great film" by allowing flexibility in a production that mixed practical effects, extensive CGI (e.g., Mustafar, Order 66 sequences), and a complex narrative wrapping up the prequel trilogy.
