Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine The Star Wars Episode III thread

hey did anybody read the Feb 'o5 issue of Vanity Fair? it's got a very cool cover with George Lucas and the principal cast of all 6 movies, including Jar-Jar, Yoda, Gen.Grevious, Chewie, C-3PO,R2-D2, but no Boba Fett.
the artical doesn't really reviel to much about the plot and that lucas isn't to worried about the film getting a PG-13 rating.
he says that it's alot darker
the one thing about the article that i liked was the explaination of the mitichlorians which i never really understood how it worked in the way of the Jedi's (or the Sith) ability to channel it.
the article says that mitichlorians are kind of like mitochondra. and that they communicate with the force and the more you have (mitichlorians) the more your cells are able to "speak" intuitively to the force itself and use the power of the force.
and that Anakin was supposed to be one of the most powerful jedi ever maybe even rivaling Yoda or Palpatine but due to the fight he has with Obi-wan his ability to use the force are curbed so his ability to be the greatest jedi ever is gone.
all in the article was so-so didn't reveal a whole lot but the fold out cover with Lucas and the whole cast was worth it

MAJOR SPOILERS

Don't know if any of you have seen these yet but pictures from Episode 3 were leaked today. At least two other sites have already been taken down because of these pictures. At 6:52 PM Mountain Time this site was still on-line. http://www.tpu.fi/~t4jlaaks/ep3/

If it disappears let me know. I saved out the page and all pictures. Some pretty interesting stuff covering the whole movie, start to finish.

"General Grievous"?

That's so Kirby it hurts.

There are some preview pages of the comic adaptation on the Dark Horse site, if anyone's interested.

Here's a link: http://www.darkhorse.com/profile/profile.php?sku=13-195

And here's a link to the General Grievous mini: http://www.darkhorse.com/profile/profile.php?sku=10-576

Saw the trailer last night after the OC was over... I'm looking forward to this movie more than ever now.

After reading "Dark Rendevous" and "Labyrinth of Evil" (the prequel books to ROTS)... Oh yeah... should be a darn good movie. Can't say too much more, but OH YEAH. Both of those were great reads, even though Luceno (LoE writer) has a tendency to make you feel like you're watching CSPAN instead of reading a book, it was a good read leading up into the movie.

Oh yeah.
