Somewhat unfortunate Episode III news

[CmdrWilkens]

Of COURSE there'll be a big fuckoff space battle- near the beginning of the film, to resolve the end of the Clone Wars most likely. Not only is it necessary because its STAR WARS, not SMALL PERSONAL TALE, :P but how else do you establish that Anakin was the "best starfighter pilot in the galaxy"?

You claim that Ep I proved this.

No check the context; I cited Episode 1 as a clear example of George Lucas being interested in the technology more than the characters.

I just keep remembering that McCallum said when TPM came out that the planets introduced in the Prequels would be gone by the time the OT rolls about.

I would assume that since GL hadn't even begun to ponder AOTC yet that he is referring to only TPM and since we know Coruscant and Tatooine from the OT, well...

Naboo go boom.

perhaps Naboo will be a BDZ? maybe thats how Padme Dies?( yes i know, its a grim subject that the hottest space chick ever dies in Ep III)

I don't see this as unfortunate news. I think that it would work best if the movie focused on the corruption of Anakin...

James Earl Jones confirmed today that George Lucas told him that the Vader transformation scene will not occur until the last five minutes of the film, so we probably won't get to see Darth in action. Sad, but oh well.

Sounds about right actually, from the novel.

"Then the figure stepped out in front of him, blocking his entry to the hanger not five metres away. The outline and and size of the figure completed the momentary puzle. It was the maturity of the mind he had senced that had temporaritly confused him."

I highly doubt that.
