I believe it was Sulustran... his planet was where the rebels gathered before leaving to attack the death star in ROTJ

Interesting site, big cat!
What was the name of the female jedi briefly seen in Episode I as part of the Jedi council, who was part of the mysterious "Yoda species"?

Here's a link to a picture of what Anakin will supposedly look like before getting his Vader outfit. www.cinemaeye.com/index/weblog/more/episode_iii_vader/. I tried to post the photo but it wouldn't load. If the link doesn't work, go to the cinemaeye.com website and type in "Darth Vader", it will bring you to some forums, one of which says, "VADER". It's pretty nasty, certainly more disturbing than anything seen in a Star Wars movie. He looks more fucked-up than he does in Return of the Jedi. Apparently he loses the rest of his limbs and his entire body except for his head is burnt to a crisp. It doesn't really look like Hayden Christensen, but it may just be the makeup and prosthetics he wears. At any rate, it's cool to see if you don't feel like waiting for the movie. |

How much do you all think reading the novelization of Episode III would spoil the film?

Star Wars discussion question of the day: Why can Yoda block Dooku's lightning in Episode II?

Yoda can pull this off simply because he is far more powerful than Dooku in general...would be my guess....
Mace Windu has a purple lightsaber upon request by Samuel Jackson.

IESB reports:
Uncle George was kind enough to join the fans at Celebration III for a quick chat about Sith and the future of Star Wars.
Lucas referred to Clone Wars as a pilot. He confirmed that the animated series will continue as a 3D animated half hour version and will be a regular TV series.
Also, he is working on a live action series that spins off from the films that doesn't incude the main characters but is about characters that we already know.
He plans to begin filming in a year. He wants to get all the scripts written for the first season all at once and then go out and shoot them.
Lucas will get it started, hire all the showrunners and then back away from it. Following this format, there will be multiple directors, multiple writers so we are in for a ride! The future of Star Wars looks bright.
One more thing on the topic Star Wars. The revamping of Star Tours has been on the books for about 6 years and now with the change in management over at Disney, George hopes to have that put into motion sometime soon.

Another article, same basic story: www.buffy.nu/article.php3?id_article=9360A Star Wars TV Show ? From Blogcritics.org - By Mark Sahm - 2005-04-26th USA Today reported that, at his appearance this weekend at the Star Wars Celebration III convention, director George Lucas officially announced that he has... "given the green light to two Star Wars television series. First up will be a 3-D animated half-hour series based on his popular Clone Wars cartoon shorts. The second and most ambitious project will involve a live-action series. He wants it to be similar to the serialized The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles TV series he executive-produced in 1992. Lucas plans to film the entire first season all at once, with shooting to begin in about a year. Lucas says he will set up the show, but then plans to step back and move on to other projects." While most of the Star Wars TV endeavors based on the Original Trilogy were not commercial successes, the Clone Wars mini-episodes from Cartoon Network have proved otherwise. While the animation is more streamlined and caricatured that what you would expect for Star Wars, the writing and action sequences was done in a way to make it entertaining to adults and children alike. However, despite being a modest fan of Star Wars (meaning I don�t dress up in costumes or attend conferences), I�ll be honest and say I�m not initially crazy about the idea of a live action TV show for Star Wars. Now, before all of you Star Wars-aholics strike me down with all of your anger, please allow me to explain. First and foremost, going from Film to TV is usually a recipe for disaster. Remember, there were TV shows made of: Ferris Bueller�s Day Off, Dirty Dancing, Clueless, and Stargate (Yes, I know that show has lasted a while, but it�s only because of MacGyver fans.) The only recent Film to TV success I can think of is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But with Buffy, the movie was really bad, while the TV show got a better actress (Sarah Michelle Gellar). The only all-time Film to TV success is M*A*S*H. But 2 out of 50 isn�t good odds on TV. Second, with TV budgets not necessarily being the same as the movies, I worry the special effects necessary to maintain a multi-episode show will have to be compromised. Come on, let�s face it, one of the reasons so many live action sci-fi TV shows cannot compare to the movies are because the effects are sub-par. I give a lot of credit to channels like Sci-Fi for producing original programming, but one of the reasons they come out somewhat cheesy is the lack of budget. Lastly, if there are to be any characters that carry over from the movies, I doubt they�ll be able to secure the same actors to play them, thus convoluting the original impressions you know so well from the movies. Think of George Clooney or Val Kilmer taking over in the Batman movies after Michael Keaton left, or better yet think of Sammy Hagar taking over vocals for Van Halen after David Lee Roth left. Yes, I know, those are different genres, but I think you get the point. All in all, Episode III is sure to please, and fans can speculate the future later. Hypothetically, Lucas could put out an Emmy award winning series for all we know. So let�s hope that his sorcerer�s ways have the clairvoyance to avoid the pitfalls of cheesy sci-fi TV. |

I hope teh TV show things works out, but I am having my doubts as to its success. How much can happen between Episodes III and IV anyway?
No matter what, though, I will be watching!

THe music video is great! Very cool.
Are there any plans to eventually release Episode III on IMAX, as there were with Attack of the Clones? That would certiainly be very cool.

I saw Revenge of the Sith yesterday. I think everyone posting in this thread will be very pleased. It is easily the best of the prequel trilogy, and I'd say it is the third best Star Wars film overall. This is how I would rank them:
1. The Empire Strikes Back
2. A New Hope
3. Revenge of the Sith
4. Return of the Jedi
5. Attack of the Clones
6. The Phantom Menace
Revenge of the Sith gets off to kind of an uneven start, but it makes up for it with an incredible second half. It is very intense and definitely earns its PG-13 rating. I have a lot more to say, but you'll have to wait for my full review.

Well woo hoo mr big shot "I got to see Star Wars already"  Anyway I am playing the game and have gotten pretty far in it...for anyone who doesn`t want to have the film spoiled I would suggest they do not play it...it follows the plotline rather closely and gives away key point of the film! There is also use of actual film footage Overall the game is damn cool. It has the best lightsaber battle out of any Star Wars game! I am sure that you will think the same once you play it! THIS I COMMAND |
