- He's unshaven, pushy, miserly and has a taste for gambling. It's hard to imagine that he's also a collection of pixels occupying thin air. See the magic that was needed to not only make Watto come to life, but to make him a star.
Featurette for Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace from the Star Wars website.

I got invited to come spend the day at Skywalker Ranch back in 96 and "audition" for Phantom Menace. George had seen me performing in the show Stomp, met me backstage and said he had me in mind for a character. When they sat me down to put me on tape, they showed me a poster board of this guy Watto. I didn't get the job and of course, it was my Stompmate Ahmed Best who ended up landing the JarJar gig.
Humans: Bumblebees can't fly, our math proves it.
Bumblebees: Your math sucks.
Other humans: common sense
I love the Star Wars Prequels :). My friends always laugh when i imitate Watto 😃
I can do it perfectly.
Its really interesting to see how different Watto seems from the Toydarians on Toydaria from Clone Wars.
Yeah partly because of Dave Filoni going all over the place with lore, Rodians speaking Basic/English? Twelieks having French accents, Palpatine and senators approving trading spice to ransom demanders? At least Rebels has tried to keep most of it more inline with what we have already seen and accept at "The Star Wars Universe" than just doing whatever he wanted in The Clone Wars.
true, just like grievous n dooku being weak as hell
Hello there person. If this account is still used. Hello :D Im bored so i answear old comments instead... lol
In the clone wars, they wear those hats. Sort of offensive.
@@SensuixShinobu7 Dooku is very strong.
Watto's story arc > Rey's story arc
I never thought about all these details they put in when animating Watto but now that I realise them I feel like I appreciate Watto a lot more. Always loved this slimy guy! quite sad that he lost everything on that pod race but he wasn't too nice either. Tatooine is full of interesting characters and I would love to see a whole Star Wars film set on it or just focus more on aliens.

*Kenobi show
Regardless, I'd LOVE to see Watto make an appearence there.
I saw Phantom Menace when I was kid and Watto was my favourite character
Watto is Snoke Confirmed.
three years later they reveal he is just a clone
😂That would have been a better story for Snoke
Watto was always great :)
Nice featurette, thanks for putting this up!
Thank God the animators got to make his face more detailed and actually turn him into a character and not just another Cgi muscle flex. Also Liam Neison in sweatpants is adorable.
I don't care what anyone else thinks I love the prequels
no, fuck you
Lego Boy Studios Finally! I'm not alone.
Lego Boy Studios same! Especially episode 3
100th like!
I don't care what anyone thinks I love the sequels
After the TROS I have A LOT more love and respect for the prequels.
Let me tell you after
Taika Waititi's film you'll have a a more love and respect for TROS
I love how on Rob Coleman's desk you can see the Mayor of HalloweenTown.
Watto is my hero. He deserves all the space shekles.
just a humble space merchant
Watto is the key to all of this
When Star Wars was still magical.. :(
It still is, we still have the video games and the mandalorian
Since day one, Watto was/is my fav cgi character.
EHHHHHHHHH EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE SPACE JEW!!!!!
It is funny, when I was watching this movie as a kid, never thought that he is a jew mock. Also, I never thought about the Neomodians that they are supposed to be Chinese mocks.
What I saw as a kid was a lot of ugly figures with a funny tone of accent. We should just let go of this super-duper political correctness, and have a good time.
Watto, Lucas claims, is a futuristic representation of Fagin - aka the 'Old Jew' from Charles Dicken's novel, Oliver Twist.
In Episode I he’s an Italian stereotype and in II he’s a Jewish stereotype
@@aeconn633 He's very clearly a Jewish stereotype in both. "Mind tricks don't work on me, only money", that was in Phantom Menace.
@@LordVader1094 And yet he's incredibly lovable. Strange way to try to turn people against the Jews, eh?
They really captured Watto's Jewishness.
Oy vey!
Unfortunately, his species aren't the ones running the Banking Clan
Blechk , dirty anti-Semites alert. What low-lifes that have nothing better to do with their existence.
@@Theouterrim77 I know, right. Those dirty anti-semites who created Watto and made him super Jewish should be ashamed of themselves.
@@I_leave_mean_comments Do you think all Jews look like Watto ? Smart, what's your IQ ?
I loved episode 3 was the best
I always thought Watto's design was pretty original.
Watto is in my top ten favorite characters in the whole saga!
I wanted him to smoke a space blunt
My fav CGI character of all time.
I honestly never noticed his pants before. 😂
I wonder if Gonzo from the Muppets and Watto from Star Wars are related?
Guy taking at 5.17 is a good bloke
How can a 20 yo CGI cjaracter look better than most of the current CGI?
Talent...plus enough time and money to iterate until it was good enough.
Watto was such a funny character in episode 1+2
I love that Watto scene where he went broke, Stared blankly at Episode 2 Anakin, and then a fly landed on his eye.
SPACE JEW!
The space Jew
When it comes to the bad or more accurately: dated cgi in the prequels, I view the aliens as "stylized" characters, something like LoZ: The Wind Waker or Team Fortress 2 where it's not supposed to be realistic.
I know the cgi was supposed to be realistic, but if you look at it from the perspective of it being stylized, or that some species should looks a little slimey or something along those lines, they don't look as bad. That's the advantage of Star Wars taking place in space, since 90% of the creatures in the franchise are aliens, they don't need to look 100% realistic when it comes to detail.
Because of this I don't see the creatures as looking horrible, never have. Part of it might be because I did grow up with the Prequels as well as the Originals, but for me they still look pretty believable because there is a lot of detail, especially with Watto here, and they're aliens.
Same case with Force Awakens, I've seen a lot of complaints about "bad cgi" and "oh those cgi aliens were so fake" and I'm like that fit within the universe ironically because of the dated cgi of the prequels. Plus some characters like that junker guy at the beginning looked like he would be a bit slimey in my opinion. Plus the voice actor was in a suit for filming, looks like the cgi was just used for the face so the character had expressions.
People like to hate on cgi so badly when a lot of times it actually works really well. I can understand cgi humans because that involves in the uncanny valley (something is so close yet not close enough to look real that your brain sends mixed messages) and people's brains react differently, but when it comes to other things like aliens I feel like people shouldn't be so strict on how realistic it looks...then again maybe people's brain react differently to everything digital and not just cgi humans. idk :P

The cgi characters in Episode One looked real. Episode Two is where the cgi went down hill.
That Ginger Cunt From Terminator 2 I always thought Watto & Jar Jar looked great. Episode II’s CIS leaders were very rough. Episode I & III still look amazing.
I loved Watto and how slimy he was. Watto's accent made him real to me. But I give that movie a 1 star because jarjar binks ruined it for me.
0:25 "Watto is a... Jewish Stereotype."
They don't say that at all.
Anybody think Watto looks like Beetlejuice from stern?
He kinda reminds me of gonzo from the muppets
My man
They didn't even talk about how he started as a sculpture, then 3d scanned into computer.
Watto is anakins dad
is this from the digital release? because I can't find it on my bonus DVD from 2001
It's from the Star Wars website.
Half dog/half parrot
crazy watto
George Lucas can watch a bug eating another bug while he is waiting for a train, and turn that thought into a movie.
Amazing 🍻🇦🇺⚡🙏🙌
Fans trying to make muh lore dark and gritty: *WATTO BEAT ANAKIN*
Actuality: Here's Anakin, he's not TOTALLY DOWNTRODDEN kid, there's some good in this creature.
It would be cheaper, I think!
Great documentaries but where are these coming from? Are they coming from the dvd release of the film or somewhere else? Just curious Thanks.
They are from the Star Wars website.
Are there anymore documentaries or feature's from the Star Wars website that are different from the dvd and/or blu ray release of the films? I would love to see them. Thanks for the information.
Yes, there is plenty more to come.
Thanks a lot for sharing these all with us Mrrrrr Aaaandersonnn......
Space jew
😑
You're a racist.
Mind tricks dont work in me, only duh muney
@@hanburgundy4317 against what race
Uh... Jews.
Lol 0:31 peter jackson
Rob Coleman
4:34 This bumblebee comment is filled with ignorance. smh
According to all known laws of aviation....
i would loved to have seen a puppet of watto much like yoda but i know the wings would have to be cgi, I think a puppet wado with cgi eyes and wings would have been perfect
Watto was perfect as is; he looks like he's there just as much as Qui-Gon and Anakin do.
Ha chuba da nala?
They mean a jew
stoopid jarjar
Nubian
Lucas was like now we have technology to create photo realistic offensive racial stereotypes like Watto.
Purefoldnz how's an alien racist exactly..? People are too damn sensitive.
They made him Jewish with a long nose that cares only about money. Get a clue lol In Attack of the clones he even wears a similar hat and beard like a hadassic jew. Coincidence?
Snowflake bullshit! I would love if Watto were a fucking latin accent dealer of death sticks, because I am a latin. That is NOT insulting that is actually paying tribute to our FUCKING earth culture.
@@purefoldnz3070 Did you NOT just watch the video? The design was originally for the Nemoidians and the voice actor came up with the accent. You idiots never cease to amaze me.
@@hanburgundy4317 Dont get me started on the Nemoidians lol
"Photo realistic"
Jesus Christmas...
It was top-notch animation for 1999.
Śniący
This is it.
It's a Meme You Dip Still looks top notch
This doesn't feel like star wars at all
How so?
@@alcarbo8613 looks like a strange character belonging elsewhere
Crap
Carlos 😂😂😂
I don't care what anyone else thinks I love the prequels
Lego Boy Studios me too :3
yes
Lego Boy Studios the only thing I like about the prequels is the fight scenes
