When I first heard this bit of production trivia, all I could think of was this scene from Gramdma’s Boy: That somewhat flippant reason to make a last minute design change was a harsh reminder that the CGI-heavy Prequel Trilogy had more in common with video games than traditional movie-making. LFL changed the color so it would match better. What happened was that 327th Star Corps was originally rendered with the dark red accents, but it was decided that the yellow better complimented the Felucian landscape. This was the unit that assassinated Jedi Master Aayla Secura. That #33 figure was originally intended to be Commander Bly who commanded the mustard yellow accented 327th Star Corps on Felucia. The commander with red markings was later named Commander Deviss and would actually be re-released in the red card Legacy Collection under that specific name. Neither of these figures are based on characters that appeared in the film. There was also a running change of that figure to green markings. Confusingly an anonymous “Clone Commander” figure with dark red markings was released as number 33 in the lineup. This was the clone unit that got the short shrift from Hasbro during the Revenge of the Sith product launch onslaught.
