(SPOILER) Anakin Skywalker just before donning the Darth Vader suit

At least according to IMDB, the runtime is listed at 146 mintutes. Could be inaccurate, though.

That's about what I had heard elsewhere. For some reason, I couldn't find it on imdb yesterday.

146 minutes would make it the longest of the Star Wars films.

The Phantom Menace: 133 minutes
Attack of the Clones: 143 minutes
Star Wars: 125 minutes
The Empire Strikes Back: 127 minutes
Return of the Jedi: 136 minutes

And to think, rumor has it (doesn't it always?) that if this one makes money, the 7th, 8th, and 9th movies will be made. It would be a good set-up: have the same actors return for their parts, because the later series concerns their lives and their children. Only...bless her heart, Carrie Fisher would have to get into physical shape. Can't have someone strong with the Force "going to pot"...

Correct me if I am wrong, but weren't there originally screenplays for the 7th, 8th and 9th parts that Timothy Zahn tunred into novels?

Or did they become the tv movies known as "the Ewok Adventures."

Don't know about novels but super shadow alleges to have early treatments of episodes 7,8 and 9. For whatever it's worth. SS could be full of it but he seems to have access to stuff only someone very close to production could have. Maybe he is on the Dark Horse staff.

Looks like IMDB says it's 146 minutes. We'll see at release time but is that's accurate then I apologize. I'm sure I heard GL mention this would be short. Maybe he meant short-er than what it was before editing at like 186 minutes or something.

Supershadow has a very bad reputation on the net. He regularly posts about "insider" information which ends up being completley false

There were no screenplays for 7-9. Zahn's work is completely orginal.

Lucas stated in the late '70s and early '80s that he wanted to make nine Star Wars movies. After he became exhausted with the first three, he didn't plan to make any more. Eventually, he got motivated again and made Episodes 1-3.

Now, Lucas claims that he always intended to make just six films.

Concerning Vader's injury and health, this is about as official and detailed as it gets.

Have you seen mark Hamill's face? I mean there's a reason he does animation voices these days.

Here's a photo I've never seen before. I believe it's from a 1983 Rolling Stone publicity shoot.
