  ILM went with what they are good at, having practiced in "Jurassic
Park".

  There were those beasts of burden in SW:TPM. Remember the scene just
before the pod race began, when that Jar Jar guy caught a whiff of
that beast 'breaking wind'? That creature looked to have really,
really fine textured hair, like peach fuzz. I think it might have been
a rendering trick, rather than individually rendered hair but that's
just my opinion.

  On June 15th, the Fox network will present "Star Wars to Star Wars",
a history of ILM from its modest (not Modesto!) beginnings to today's
driving special effects force (ha!) in the industry. Narrated by
Samuel L. Jackson.
