NED-B's hammer was inspired by Jabba the Hutt's skiff in Return of the Jedi (1983). Propmaster Brad Elliott said that it was originally intended to be a power hammer, but changed into a different design as he did not know what that was. He took inspiration from the skiff guard staff and added a power unit and rigid tubing to "suggest that, much like a vibro-axe, it creates extra impact with a power assist".

Revenge of the Sith eventually became the first Star Wars film in which Anakin Skywalker and the suited Darth Vader were played by the same actor in the same film. As Christensen recounted, it was originally intended to simply have a "tall guy" in the Darth Vader costume, but, after "begging and pleading", Christensen persuaded Lucas to have the Vader costume used in the film created specifically to fit him. The new costume featured shoe lifts and a muscle suit. [35] It also required Christensen (who is 6 feet or 1.8 metres tall) to look through the helmet's mouthpiece. [36] Revenge of the Sith was released on DVD and VHS on October 31, 2005, in the UK and Ireland; on November 1, 2005, it was released in the United States and Canada on DVD; and on November 3, 2005, it was released in Australia. It was also released in most major territories on or near the same day. [65] The DVD release consists of widescreen and pan and scan full-screen versions and is THX certified. This two-disc set contains one disc with the film and the other one with bonus features. The first disc features three randomized selected menus, which are Coruscant, Utapau and Mustafar.
