George Lucas' son Jett trained with Stunt Coordinator Nick Gillard to perfect his moves against the digital foes.

Jett Lucas played Zett Jukassa in both Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.

Zett Jukassa is a young human Padawan. He studies in the Jedi Temple and we can see him in the Library with Jocasta Nu. He is killed by clone troopers during the assault on the Jedi Temple and Bail Organa witnessed the young Padawans last valiant defense.
During production, the character’s name change from “Titi Jukassa” to “Tado Jukassa” and then just “Tado” before finally becoming “Zett Jukassa”.
The young Padawan in the Jedi Library that Jocasta Nu tends to was first named Warpoc Skamini. Given the similarities between the two roles they are now combined into one character: Zett Jukassa.
