Ray Park
The BARC speeder in "Revenge of the Sith" was designed to appear like a predecessor to the speeder bikes in "Return of the Jedi". ILM's Doug Chiang designed Darth Maul's (Ray Park) speeder in "The Phantom Menace" to resemble a scythe, and Chiang's initial designs for the droid army's STAP vehicle resembled the speeder bikes from "Return of the Jedi". An all-CGI swoop appearing in "A New Hope" stems from a design created for "", and the swoop also appears briefly in "The Phantom Menace".
