What's with the "supposedly final Star Wars film."

I guess they don't want to kill the outside chance of EPs VII to IX

If you look at the pic of Hayden, he looks a lot like Luke!
People keep saying that. I just don't see it.

It's the hair.

Fat Carlos · Post by **Fat Carlos** » 2003-12-16 08:35pm

I agree. The hair and tanned skin make him look like Luke.

Very minor spoiler:

Q: Who do you think has been Hollywood's best swordsman?

A: I think after Episode III, it will be Hayden Christensen.

Off SW.com ask the jedi council.

That really doesn't say much. Honestly, I doubt they'd go and mention some guy in another movie.

the questions says hollywood. I don't know who answered this question, but I'm sure s/he would have been truthful about it because otherwise that would not answer the question. it wasn't who is star wars is the best swordsman.

It's called hyperbole.

And blatant self-promotion. On what basis is she analysing the criteria of 'best swordsman'? In fact what credentials does this person posess to make them an authority on swordsmanship?

I know what it said. Which is why I can conclude that it most likely is like Crown said, self-promotion.

And if you can't see that, then you're obviously some kind of idiot...

Nick Gillard answered it (stunt coordinateur, coreographer, etc). This is just a tiny nugget I thought should be included.

Actually, I thought it would be Christopher Lee. By his own estimation, he's done more movie swordfights than any other living actor today.

There will be a star destroyer! Awesome!

From Star Wars Insider #73:
Star Wars Q&A

Q: Why does the dark side of the Force make Palpatine's skin decay while other Sith (like Count Dooku) look all right?

A: Palpatine's withered appearance has to do something very specific that happens to him. It's something that does not happen to Count Dooku. (Plus, Palpatine is the most evil of evil.) You'll find out more in 2005.

you know if they kill Padme in this film then Lucas has been hanging out with Berman and Braga and has picked up their bad habit of continuity errors. Lea had to have been at least 2 or 3 when Padme Dies otherwise the "Lea i'm you Brother" scene in ROTJ would go out the window.

"your real mother?"

Does Leia know she's adopted?

That was the implication of the scene, though I don't think it was actually stated.

the only way they could pull it off would be a Flash forward scene where it shows Padme die but why would they do that unless they do a montage of what happened between episode 3 and 4 to some music ( like maybe the Imperial March) towards the end of the movie

Well, from the spoilers I've read, Anakin is instrumental in fatally wounding Padme, and she has the twins right before she dies.

Moonshadow · Post by **Moonshadow** » 2004-01-08 01:04am

and there lies the B&B style continuity SNAFU. Leia remembered very little of her real mother but she did have memories of her. She had to have been anywhere from 2 to 4 when Padme died. Otherwise she wouldn't have had the few memories she did have.

Illuminatus Primus · Post by **Illuminatus Primus** » 2004-01-08 01:25am

Relax; the movie hasn't come out yet, and as we've observed before with Corran Horn, the Force can have interesting effects on memory.

Go to www.starwars.com, and check out what's between these brackets (the pic won't post for some reason, yes, it is non-hyperspace).
