The Clone Wars rated by MPAA

A fan over at TFN spotted The Clone Wars rating – a PG – over at Filmjerk. Here’s what it says:

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Warner Brothers Pictures): PG for sci-fi action violence throughout, brief language and momentary smoking.

…Smoking? Oh Jabba, always setting an example for the kids.

Names named: Secret apprentice, Jabba’s son

NZ Gamer revealed that Vader’s secret apprentice in The Force Unleashed is Starkiller, a name drawn from the early drafts of the first Star Wars script. Now, is that first name, last name, or both? (They also reveal why TFU is a no-go for the PC.)

UPDATE: EUC contacted LucasArt’s Adam Kahn, who told them:

I can confirm that “Starkiller” is the Secret Apprentice’s code name in the game, but we haven’t revealed his real name.

EU Cantina also spotted a little something: Jabba’s son, who plays the role of kidnappee/plot point in The Clone Wars, is given the name ‘Stinky’ by the Amazon.co.uk summary of Watch Out for Jabba the Hutt!. Indeed.

George on (more) Indy sequels and The Clone Wars

Fox News caught up with George at Cannes and he says there’s a strong possibility for sequels. With, as many have been contemplating, Shia LeBeouf in the lead. Oh, George, you crazy diamond.

Next up, The Clone Wars and why it’s not being released by Fox:

“No one wanted it,” he told me. “Every studio rejected it, including Fox, and I’m very loyal to them. They have right of first refusal. Eventually I brought it to Warners. It’s the first time that three components of the studio have acted together. It’s very exciting.

…Every studio? Huh.
