Supposedly, this is the same person as here

Thank you @ech@lemm.ee for the gif!

Thought there's no way this could be true, but I just checked my own copy and, sure enough, there it is. Wild.
Thank you so much for the GIF!
Clearly just a force ghost watching the battle unfold.
Watch in 10 years, Filoni will introduce a Jedi who can see into the past and they'll retcon this guy into the lore.
Don’t give them any more stupid ideas. They have their hand full enough with spinoffs already.
TOASTY
Pretty sure that’s just Niko Belic.
How the hell did that happen?
When you're a VFX artist and you've been looking at the same scenes for hours a day for weeks on end, constantly scrubbing back and forth across your timeline, you just become blind to errors and mistakes and technical glitches beyond the really obvious one.
You just need a second set of eyes or put down that specific part and look at it again later with fresh eyes.
Or you let it slide because like nobody notices the one frame except for crazy fans and it just becomes a fun easter egg.
Yeah little single frame errors like that are just not worth the time fixing and re-rendering. And a lot those little errors are the vfx blindness setting in.
Especially at the time of this movie, can you imagine the computer time to re-render this scene? Weeks, at least.
Are you a VFX artist? Would you be interested in doing an AMA on !movies@lemm.ee ?
Sort of? I'm primarily a 3d animator, but I've been diving more into doing vfx with actually filmed stuff. Im a pretty small time animator, mostly just make fun internal videos for the company I work for.
I've never done an AMA before but I might be willing give it a go some time. Unfortunately I might be limited on actual examples of my work because so much is has company branding and has my irl name tied to it, not trying to expose too much of my irl self.
Sounds great! I'll be on holiday until next week, but I'll come back to you!
No, I mean like physically how it happened lol. If the behind the scenes image is true, the position of the guy to the camera and the set just being a green screen... How did a reflection of the dude end up where it did? I would have assumed it to just be some kind of half developed afterimage on the film itself if not for the behind the scenes image.
half developed afterimage on the film itself
I think this movie was filmed digitally not on film
It's more likely that the person shown on set is a vfx person making sure everything's being filmed right for their part, and he superimposed himself during the vfx editing on purpose.
This is a mistake that has apparently just been discovered this month, so answers are thin.
Here is the only decent one I could find:
"What appears to have happened here," u/itsjustmonty_ reports, "is that the camera traveled slightly too far and somehow no one noticed while cropping the footage." They include a string of uncompressed shots from the Blu-ray and a wild behind-the-scenes clip that shows a crew member off in the distance while filming the shot roughly 10 seconds in. In other posts, they reiterate that this was not their original discovery and they are simply reposting on Reddit to shed light on something that bubbled up from other corners of Star Wars fandom.
Regarding the real-life identity of Anakin's overlooker, an early suggestion was that it could be Nash Edgerton, Ewan McGregor's stunt double.
Wait a minute, how did this happen? We're smarter than this?
Somehow the cast member has returned
Lack of QA during the editing I guess
Considering George Lucas did final qa....ez
Ah yes, Master Pradish. He predicted the fall of the Republic during the High Republic Era as to be revealed in the upcoming show The Acolyte.
The real Phantom Menace
glup shitto confirmed
Fitting he'd appear in a glitch
Makes me think of Bughuul from Sinister.
What's the verdict on this? Is it actually a human face that has accidentally snuck into this shot somehow, or is it just the lava and floating embers playing tricks on us? I can't really tell due to the color correction in this scene. Everything is just so orange.
