Peter Mayhew had best be careful. If he keeps dropping Episode III spoilers like this, Lucas might recast Chewbacca as CGI.
Tag: Episode III
Darth Timberlake.
Filming has started on Episode III, and as such the official site premiered Anakin’s new look, which apparently is meant to accord with the ’70’s aesthetic of Star Wars. Not exactly the menacing visage I originally envisioned under the mask. Update: As Scully noted in the comments, the pic’s been taken down, by order of Lucas. Trust me, you didn’t miss much.
Sith Degrees.
Episode III: Revenge of the Sith…is it true? Do we care? At any rate, it’s a far cry better than Attack of the Clones.
Send in the Clone.
The first goofy Episode 3 rumor making the rounds (Remember when Christopher Walken, Gabriel Byrne, and Jimmy Smits were all supposed to be in Attack of the Clones? Ok, the last one actually happened.) has Scott Glenn boarding the Death Star for the final installment. I’ll believe it when I see it. In other Ep. 3 news, is this drawing of a staff-wielding warrior Chewbacca what we can expect in 2005? All I gotta say is Lucas will have to knock this movie out of the park to erase the bad taste of the past two prequels and Yoda’s speech last night, which was as stilted and embarrassing as Gollum’s was funny.
Laugh it up, Fuzzball.
In a bold move to counter further fanboy defection to The Matrix and Lord of the Rings, George Lucas enlists Chewbacca for Episode III. If they treat him like they did Jango and Boba Fett in Ep. II, expect Chewie to be not only Anakin’s lost-lost uncle but also the father of the entire Ewok species.
Third time’s the charm?
Not to be completely overshadowed by the TTT teaser (more mirror sites here), Lucas drops some Episode III tidbits. Looks like chances of the last one being better than the past one are steadily slipping away.
