You have only until this Sunday, August 10 to become a Hyperspace member and submit your entry to be eligible to win a trip to the set of Episode III in Syndey, Australia.

Along with watching the Episode III shoot unfold live on the webcam, and even participating in the creative process by choosing the color-scheme for Obi-Wan's droid in the new movie, Hyperspace members have been living vicariously through the daily set diary of Pablo Hidalgo. "Pabawan" has been in Sydney since before the shoot began, faithfully representing fandom and sharing with us all he sees and hears.

Since the winner of the trip to the set will have the opportunity to live Pablo's life for a day placing the webcam and writing a set diary for starwars.com, we asked Pablo to give us some insight into a typical day for him on set...

August 5, 2003

5:00 a.m.		Alarm goes off.
5:30 a.m.		Alarm continues to go off.
6:00 a.m.		Off to work. It's a nice day in Sydney, so I'm walking.
6:30 a.m.		Arrive at Fox Studios, and head up to my office. Catch up on Stateside emails, both business and personal.
7:00 a.m.		Breakfast at the catering tent. Check the Call Sheet: eight Jedi extras costume fittings listed throughout the day. Call Costume Archivist Gillian Libbert to get details. Possible Set Diary in the works.
7:30 a.m.		To the set; Trade Federation Cruiser bridge is shooting today. Watch shooting of animatronic Neimoidian pilot. Take notes for potential Set Diary. Chat with Creature Shop Animatronic operators to get the specifics.
8:00 a.m.		Between takes, ask if it's okay to put the webcam on set for the Wednesday and Thursday shoot, since the shooting is moving to a webcam-accessible stage. It's a rather major sequence being shot, so I promise to concentrate mostly on crew and off-set action. Thursday is OK, but I'm asked to hold off on Wednesday. I continue taking pictures of the set and the filming. Since I don't know what the Set Diary is yet, I always take many more photos than I end up needing.
9:30 a.m.		Take Dave Weitzberg from ILM to the Creature Shop; introduce him to the crew and show him around.
10:00 a.m.		Off to costume fittings. Watch the first Jedi extra, Gervais Koffi get fitted.
10:30 a.m.		Back to office. More emails. Rick McCallum drops by the office to look at some of the pictures I've taken. I take the opportunity to hit him up for an online chat for next week. He's all for it, but I've got to coordinate with his assistant, Jacqui Louez, to fit it into his schedule.
11:00 a.m.		Ghent phones from the States. One of the webcams is down. Rush off to stage to check it out. The cam's been unplugged. Thankfully, it's on the floor end so I don't have to climb up into the rafters to reconnect it. Head back to office. Talk to Ghent about this week's newsletter, which you're reading right now. I then return a call to Anthony Daniels. He wants to do another chat this Friday. I confirm the time of the chat and when the driver should pick him up. I let Second 2nd Assistant Director Paul Sullivan schedule this.
11:30 a.m.		Back on set. Talk to Colin Ware, the man underneath the Neimoidian pilot mask. Bingo. I know for sure I've got material for a Set Diary here.
12:00 a.m.		Head to costume fitting. The next Jedi extra, Josh Canning, is being fitted. Another Set Diary is forming in my mind.
12:30 a.m.		Back to office. Catch up on email.
1:00 p.m.		Lunch in the catering tent. Talk publishing related news with the visiting editor from LucasBooks, Jonathan Rinzler.
2:00 p.m.		Back on set. Get a phone call from Gentle Giant Studios. They tell me to turn on the webcam. Run back to computer to switch them live to cover a tour walking through their scanning area. Meanwhile, I re-dress the webcam wiring on the set construction stage to prevent it from getting disconnected again.
3:00 p.m.		Back to costume fittings. Take many photographs of Jedi extras Aliyah Williams and Dominique Chionchio.
4:30 p.m.		Take a walkthrough of a few stages to scope out webcam placement for later in the week.
5:00 p.m.		Another phone call from Gentle Giant. They're soon to start a new scan. When Anthony comes on in his tarnished protocol droid outfit, I flip the webcam on.
5:30 p.m.		Back to set, in case any late-breaking story ideas pop up.
6:30 p.m.		Shooting wraps. Head back to office. Begin going through audiocassettes, reviewing quotes and notes.
