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

I thought I remembered Anakin getting into a speeder-bike accident years ago when reading the book. I thought that was the cause of his injuries.

ROTS is going to be very short. Lucas admitted to cutting much of the film for the sole purpose of having it be able to be shown more times throughout the day and thereby increasing box office sales. The guy is a greedy bastard, a self important mediocre film maker, and I lose more respect for him the more I hear about him.

Maybe it's because you're hearing stuff that's made up.

I believe Revenge of the Sith is going to be about 2 1/2 hours. It could end up being the longest of the Star Wars films.

Nah. The volcano/molten lava thing has always been part of the unofficial story.

I've read the script (113 pages) and it's not that long. And I did hear George Lucas say that himself so how is that a rumor?

In the Return of the Jedi novel Obi Wan tells Luke that he knocked Anakin into a pit of molten lava (the scene on Dagobah where Obi Wans' apparition is talking to Luke after Yoda dies).

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"...

Her face definitely shows the years. No idea what her body looks like now, but she used to have an unbelievably great body.

The rumors are unfounded.

However, there is going to be a Star Wars TV series. It's expected to start in the fall of 2006. A premise for the show hasn't yet been decided upon but it'll probably be set in between Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars.

Besides, there's no question the film will make enormous money. Attack of the Clones grossed $648 million worldwide. The budget was only $120 million.
