The Cruel Fate of Shaak Ti
June 20, 2005
莎克·提的悲惨命运
2005年6月20日
Just by virtue of being Force-wielding guardians of peace and justice, every Jedi character in the prequel trilogy has a fan following of some sort. This makes Order 66 a bitter pill for some, as their cherished heroes get roasted by blaster-fire from their once-loyal clone troopers. But there's a greater indignity than getting shot in the back by your lieutenant; it's getting cut from the film altogether.
正因为他们运用原力保卫银河系的和平与正义，前传三部曲的每一位绝地都不同程度地受到观众喜爱。目击自己仰慕的英雄被曾经忠诚的克隆人士兵杀害，对不少星战迷而言，好似被迫吞下一颗品名“六十六号令”的苦药丸。但远比被自己的部下在背后放黑枪更耻辱的是，某几位绝地的戏份被从电影中彻底地删光了。
So, looking back at some of the earliest Set Diaries, there's an unasked question lingering over the reports of Barriss Offee, Luminara Unduli, Bultar Swan and Shaak Ti undergoing makeup tests: "What Happened?!" A thing to keep in mind about the diaries published before the start of principal photography: much of the crew in Sydney was working off an approximation of the shooting script.
回顾最早期的几篇片场日记——巴丽斯·奥菲、卢米娜拉·昂杜里、布尔塔·斯万、莎克·提化妆试镜的报导——你会自然而然地产生这样的疑问：“他们怎么了？！”你要记住，那些片场日记是在电影首期拍摄正式开始前写下的，悉尼的工作人员大都是根据一篇接近完工的拍摄脚本在忙活。
It wasn't working in the dark, exactly, but the picture of what Episode III would finally be was definitely murky. As the shooting script was coming together, Heads of Department were kept apprised of the storyline as it affected them. They had already set up shop in Sydney, and the pressure was on to produce with their staff and assets -- they couldn't just sit around, after all. So, all manner of tests -- makeup tests, camera tests, costume tests, etc. -- were well underway in May 2003 to be as prepared as possible for when actual production began.
确切地讲，他们也并非黑灯瞎火乱忙一气，但星战III最终成品会是什么样，那绝对是任谁心中都没个谱。随着拍摄脚本一字一句地撰写出来，部门头头们被及时告知牵涉到他们工作的故事情节。他们已经在悉尼搭建了工作室，影片制作的紧迫感无所不在——毕竟，员工们不能无所事事。2003年5月，形形色色的测试工作——化妆测试，摄影测试，戏服测试，等等——都有条不紊地进行着，以期在正式开拍前尽可能做到万事俱备。
A printed chart of headshots labeled "EPISODE III JEDI" could be found tacked to the walls of the Hair and Makeup Department and the Creature Shop as I covered each of these test sessions. Sixteen Jedi were featured on the chart, not all of which made the final cut.
当我对各项测试程序做报导时，看见“发型与化妆部门”和“生物工厂”的墙上钉有一张标注着“星战III绝地”的头像打印图表。图表上共有十六位绝地，但并非所有人都能通过最终剪辑。
Shaak Ti has the dubious distinction of being cut from the film twice. Originally, she would have been referenced in a line of dialogue during the opening space battle, a rarity when you think about it. No screen Jedi outside of Qui-Gon, Yoda, Mace, Obi-Wan and Anakin has been identified by name in the prequels.
莎克·提悬而未决地前后两次被从电影中删除。最初，片头太空战时的一段对白提到了她，细想之下你会发现这是件稀罕事儿。星战前传中的绝地，除了奎刚、尤达、梅斯、欧比万和阿纳金，其他人在电影里从来没被叫过名字。
ANAKIN: The last message we had from Master Shaak Ti, she was still with the Chancellor.
阿纳金：我们最后一次收到莎克·提大师的消息时，她还和最高议长在一起。
OBI-WAN: She's the most cunning of Jedi. She's even shown me a few tricks. They won't catch her.
欧比万：她是绝地中最狡猾的一位。她曾给我演示过一些花招。他们是抓不到她的。
ANAKIN: Artoo, trace Shaak Ti's homing signal!
阿纳金：R2，追踪莎克·提的定位信号！
Artoo's scan produces the command ship on Anakin's scopes, the one "crawling with vulture droids," and then the film weaves into now-familiar territory. But in the script and during production, Shaak Ti continued to be referenced in place of the Chancellor, until Obi-Wan and Anakin discover her in an abandoned corridor, sitting strangely despondent on the floor.
R2的扫描结果显示在阿纳金战机的仪表上——“爬满秃鹫机器人的”分离势力旗舰。之后的剧情就是我们在电影中看过的了。但在剧本以及摄制过程中，对白反复提及的都是莎克·提，而不是最高议长帕尔帕廷，最终欧比万和阿纳金在一条废弃的走廊里发现她异常绝望地坐在地上。
That was shot on Tuesday, August 19th, 2003, the 37th day of shooting. Stage 1 housed the "wide hallway" set for the Trade Federation cruiser, the same set doubled as the stretch of corridor where Anakin, Obi-Wan and Palpatine get caught in Grievous' ray shields (which was shot the same day).
这场戏拍摄于2003年8月19日星期二，即第三十七个拍摄日。一号舞台搭设有贸易联邦巡洋舰的“宽阔走廊”布景，它还兼作阿纳金、欧比万和帕尔帕廷被格里弗斯的射线屏蔽罩困住的那条走廊（也在同一天拍摄）。
It was easy enough to feel bad for Shaak Ti that day. She was so passive and broken, sitting on that grimy floor, with General Grievous towering behind her in our imaginations. Making her all the more sympathetic were the huge black contacts that actress Orli Shoshan had to wear while filming to complete her alien look. Orli had a hard time refraining from tearing and blinking while wearing them, something that George Lucas and John Knoll felt confident they could reduce in post if necessary.
不消说，莎克·提那天的处境糟糕透了。她身心崩溃，无力反抗，坐在肮脏的地板上，我们可以想见格里弗斯将军高大的身影立在她背后。更加值得同情的是，为了化妆出异族人的容貌，女演员奥莉·绍尚必须配戴一副大号的黑色隐形眼镜。在整个过程中，奥莉拼命忍住流泪和眨眼的本能反应。乔治·卢卡斯和约翰·诺尔倒是确信，倘若她实在忍不住的话，他们可以在后期制作时加以修正。
Duncan Young, the off-screen dialogue reader, stood in as Grievous, standing atop an apple box behind the seated Shoshan. He read Grievous' dialogue with a snarl, coached by Lucas to approximate actor Lionel Stander's vocal qualities. "Shaak Ti," says Grievous, "your lightsaber seems a little battle-worn. It will need considerable cleaning, but it will do the job."
邓肯·杨——镜头外的台词朗读者——代表格里弗斯站在坐着的绍尚身后的一个苹果箱上。他在卢卡斯的指导下，模仿演员莱昂内尔·史坦德的嗓音，咆哮着念出格里弗斯的台词：“莎克·提，你的光剑似乎已有点磨损了，得好好地清洁一番，不过它眼下还管用。”
There's a sharp intake of air from Shaak Ti as she arches her back. Grievous has stabbed her through the heart. Her body slumps and Anakin and Obi-Wan turn grim.
莎克·提猛抽一口气，身体向后弯曲。格里弗斯刺穿了她的心脏。她的尸体瘫倒在地，阿纳金和欧比万的脸色阴沉下来。
"It was something I thought was great," said Concept Artist Ian McCaig at the time. He, along with Derek Thompson, helped to develop the sequence in preproduction through storyboards. "It's a way of introducing Grievous the way Vader was introduced to us, when he strangles that Rebel officer. You know he's a bad guy."
“我认为这幕戏棒极了”，概念艺术师伊恩·迈克凯格当时说。在电影开拍前的策划阶段，他与德里克·汤普森共同绘制了分镜串连图板。“格里弗斯的登场与维德当年异曲同工，当他扼杀那位义军军官时，观众立刻知道他是个大坏蛋。”
But the opening sequence aboard the cruiser was running too long. It was taking too much time to get into the meat of the story -- the story of Anakin's fall -- so Lucas excised much of the serial-type hi-jinks. Shaak Ti was a victim of those cuts, and all reference to her at the start of the film were removed. She was spared a grisly death.
可惜在巡洋舰上的剧情拖得太长，花了太多时间才切入正题——阿纳金的堕落——因此卢卡斯大刀阔斧砍掉了一连串的动作戏。莎克·提是这次删节的牺牲品，影片开头所有提及她的台词也都被删除了。或者说，她躲过了死亡的厄运。
Shaak Ti tenaciously continued to cling to life. While the artists at Cartoon Network were developing the Star Wars: Clone Wars micro-series, they thought to explain her absence from the start of the film by having her die in at Grievous' hands in their series. This was rejected; there was something about the image of Shaak Ti convulsing as a lightsaber speared her heart that stuck with Lucas, and she again faced an unseen executioner in front of cameras a few months later.
莎克·提的生命力可谓顽强持久。卡通频道的动画师们制作《星球大战：克隆人战争》短剧时，打算将她在电影里的缺席解释为在动画中死于格里弗斯将军之手。这个方案被否决了；卢卡斯觉得莎克·提被光剑洞穿心脏时身体抽搐的影像很有感染力，于是几个月后她再一次在摄影机前背对着看不见的刽子手。
During the pick-up shoot at Shepperton, Shoshan was scheduled for a single scene of shooting. She traveled from Australia to London to brave the makeup process again. The scene was eerily familiar, but instead of sitting on the floor, she sat on one of the thick disc-like ottomans Jedi have in their private quarters (Knoll would refer to them as big wheels of cheese). The slatted window-shade casts a film noir shadow on her. Hayden Christensen, wearing his dark hood up, steps into frame. "What is it, Skywalker?" asks Shoshan. There's no answer, other than a stab in the back.
在谢普顿制片厂的补拍阶段，给绍尚安排了一幕戏。她千里迢迢从澳大利亚奔赴伦敦，鼓足勇气再次接受辛苦的化妆程序。情景似曾相识，但这次不是坐在地上，她坐在绝地私人宿舍里的一张厚厚的碟形褥榻上（诺尔将之戏称为大轮干酪）。百叶窗帘在她身上投下朦胧的黑色阴影。海登·克里斯滕森，穿戴着黑暗的兜帽长袍，走进画面。“什么事，天行者？”绍尚问道。并不答话，一剑背刺。
It took many takes to satisfy Lucas, something that was profoundly felt by much of the crew since it was the last day of a very busy two weeks worth of shooting. Much of that morning of September 3, 2004 was dedicated to Shaak Ti's demise. But for all that effort, it was cut from the movie (a scene of her in the Temple did make it into the novel, though).
卢卡斯反复拍了很多遍才觉满意。许多工作人员都由衷地松了一口气，因为这是连续两个极其繁忙的拍摄周的最后一日。那天是2004年9月3日，大半个上午都用于拍摄莎克·提之死。但这么多的汗水是白流了，这场戏还是被不留情面地从电影中剪掉（莎克·提在圣殿中的一场戏倒是写进了小说）。
Ultimately, this murder raised more questions, and was incongruous with the preceding shots of Anakin marching up the steps of the Jedi Temple with a column of clone troopers. Surely troopers weren't waiting patiently at the door while Anakin killed Shaak Ti, but if they were storming the temple, why was Shaak Ti meditating? How did she not know that her brethren were dying just outside her door? Ultimately, it didn't work cinematically, but that's what editing is for.
关键在于，这起刺杀引发了更多疑问，且与之前的镜头——阿纳金率领一队克隆人士兵踏上绝地圣殿台阶——不相协调。当阿纳金去杀莎克·提时，士兵肯定不会是静悄悄地等在门外。但既然他们如暴风般进攻圣殿，为什么莎克·提仍在冥思修行？她怎么会不知道外面的同胞正惨遭屠戮？最终，这场戏没能搬上银幕，是出于影片剪辑的需要。
For those who wonder, the long lead-times of toy and merchandise production is what accounts for Shaak Ti being featured in Episode III product despite her minimal presence in the film. She is in the movie... just briefly. When Yoda confers with a holographic Jedi Council while on Kashyyyk, Shaak Ti is among one of the tiny tabletop projections. In this case, she was played by ILM Production Manager Maria Brill, shot against bluescreen while sitting in a Jedi Council chair. A look at the webcam archives pulls this up at January 6, 2005, 11:03 a.m.
玩具等周边商品从开发至出货有较长的时间间隔，因而在介绍莎克·提时说她在星战III中有很少的戏份，也许有人会为此感到惊愕。但电影里确实有她——尽管只是一闪而过。身在卡西克星球的尤达通过全息通讯召开绝地委员会议时，桌面上的微型全息投影中有一人正是莎克·提。工业光魔制片经理玛丽亚·布里尔顶替原演员，坐在蓝幕前的一张绝地委员会座椅上拍摄了这个镜头。查看片场网络摄影存档，可知拍摄时间是2005年1月6日上午11:03。
