电影



After toiling in the droid foundries, a Geonosian worker's sole outlet of entertainment are the bloodsports found in the Geonosian execution arena. Those who have committed crimes against Geonosis are sentenced to death. In the case of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, who were found guilty of espionage by Poggle the Lesser, they were to be killed by deadly arena beasts. Poggle and his guests, Count Dooku, Nute Gunray and Jango Fett, watched from an exclusive viewing box high above the arena floor.
从工作艰苦的机器人制造厂下班后，一个吉奥诺西斯工人唯一的娱乐就是在吉奥诺西斯行刑竞技场观赏血腥的运动。那些在吉奥诺西斯犯罪的人会被判处死刑。欧比-旺·克诺比、阿纳金·天行者和帕德梅·阿米达拉被“下等人”波格尔判处间谍罪，将被致命的竞技场野兽处死。波格尔和他的客人——杜库伯爵、纽特·冈雷和詹戈·费特——在竞技场上面的包间观赏这一切。

Each captive was chained to a sturdy stone pillar. Three large gates unleashed the creatures, which were kept in line by Geonosian picadors. The ghastly trio included the brutish reek, the agile nexu, and the terrifying acklay. The captives were able to outwit their assigned killers long enough for Jedi reinforcements to arrive.
每个俘虏都被锁链拴在坚固的石柱上。三扇大门放出三头被吉奥诺西斯斗兽师控制的野兽。这三头可怕的野兽是强壮的力克、敏捷的内克苏和恐怖的阿克雷。三位俘虏机智地躲避各自的杀手，坚持到绝地援军赶到。

Led by Jedi Master Mace Windu, these Jedi fought against scores of battle droids that surrounded the arena. Many Jedi fell in the conflict, and the few survivors appeared to be doomed. The sudden arrival of Yoda and the newly formed Republic clone army saved the day, and heralded the start of the Clone Wars.
在绝地大师梅斯·温杜的带领下，这些绝地与包围竞技场的战斗机器人部队开战。许多绝地在战斗中牺牲，少数生还者前途未卜。尤达和新建立的共和国克隆人军队突然赶到，扭转战局，拉开了克隆人战争的序幕。

衍生宇宙



Geonosians carefully guard their resources, and think it foolish to squander supplies in the keeping of prisoners. As such, execution is a common verdict in Geonosian courts. The execution arenas also serve as entertainment for the simple-minded beings. Ruling Geonosians earn praise for staging the most impressive beast-battles, called petranaki or "venations." Archdukes such as Hadiss the Vaulted and Poggle the Lesser have used the arenas to eliminate political dissidents.
吉奥诺西斯人小心翼翼地保护着他们的资源，认为在囚犯身上浪费粮食是愚蠢的。于是，死刑成为吉奥诺西斯法庭最常见的判决。行刑竞技场还是芸芸众生的娱乐场所。吉奥诺西斯的统治者通过举行最令人印象深刻的斗兽运动来得到拥护，这种运动被称为佩特拉纳基或“狩猎”。像“圆顶”哈迪斯和“下等人”波格尔这样的大公会利用竞技场来清除持不同政见者。

Arena competitions are so popular that the Geonosians have managed to wipe out some of the more popular beasts on their planet. Corporate clients looking to curry favor with the weapons manufacturers have offered deadly and exotic beasts as payment for the Geonosian services. The acklay, a champion among arena beasts, came from offworld and has run rampant in the Geonosian ecology.
竞技场运动太过流行，以至于吉奥诺西斯人滅絕了行星上一些较受欢迎的野兽。为了讨好这些军火制造者，企业客户将致命的外星野兽作为报酬支付给吉奥诺西斯人。一流的竞技场生物阿克雷就来自外星球，现已在吉奥诺西斯的生态环境中快速繁殖。

For many ambitious Geonosians, the arena serves as the only possible means of advancement in the rigid caste-separated Geonosian society. By proving his worth in the execution arena, a lowly Geonosian is capable of advancing in status, and even earn a begrudging brand of respect from the Geonosian aristocracy.
在等级森严的吉奥诺西斯社会，对许多雄心勃勃的吉奥诺西斯人来说，竞技场是唯一可能出人头地的机会。通过在行刑竞技场中证明自己的价值，一个地位低下的吉奥诺西斯人能提高自己的地位，甚至得到吉奥诺西斯贵族吝啬的尊重。

幕后



Inspired by the brutal contests found in ancient Rome, the Geonosian arena was an environment far removed from previous Star Wars settings. Though Episode I had the Mos Espa Grand Arena, its architectural style of repeated curves and patterns easily facilitated the addition of digital extras to provide a sense of teeming audience. The Episode II arena was markedly different, with almost random organic shapes carved from the living rock.
吉奥诺西斯竞技场的灵感来源于古罗马残酷的角斗运动。这个场景跟《星球大战》先前的设定相去甚远。虽然《第一部》中有莫斯埃斯帕大竞技场，但其建筑风格由重复的曲线和图案组成，有助于数字模型的添加，以提供一种观众满座的感觉。但《第二部》的竞技场截然不同，其从住人岩石上雕刻出的有机外形几乎是随机的。

In its concept stages, light and shadow played an important role in visualizing the environment. It helped evoke a mood of confrontation and vulnerability, as the chained captives stood in the harsh light while the beasts emerged from the shadows. To better visualize the environment, concept model-makers R. Kim Smith and Carol Bauman built an elaborate four-foot wide model of the arena which, though unpainted, was extremely detailed.
在其概念设计阶段，光影在视觉环境的构建上扮演了重要的角色。它帮忙营造出一种对抗与脆弱的气氛，刺眼的光线照在被锁链拴住的俘虏身上，而野兽则从阴影中走出。为了更好地表现环境，概念模型制作师R·金·史密斯和卡罗尔·鲍曼精心制作了一个四英尺宽的竞技场模型，它虽然没有上漆，但极其精致。

For the finished film, ILM built the arena as an immense miniature. It was built in sections for ease of shooting. The miniature arena formed the majority of the background plates for the environment, since the set photography with the actors and stuntmen consisted mostly of bluescreen with a sandy floor.
在最终电影里，工业光魔将竞技场做成了一个巨大的模型。为便于拍摄，它被分成几个部分。由于包含演员和特技人员的场景拍摄主要由蓝幕和铺着沙子的地板组成，因此竞技场模型成为这个场景的主要背景。
