Starwars.com has posted a complete book release list for Return of the Sith. Both non-fiction (well, if you consider background info on fiction non-fiction) and novels are covered. If you can only get one thing on the list, though, I recommend The Art of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. My copies of TPM and AOTC editions have seen more action than the actual DVDs.
Lazy Blogger
Coming Soon has posted their latest Star Wars roundup – mostly ROTS stuff, including speculation on a rumored character appearance, prospective merchandise and a selection of links. And, yes, Yav’s new favorite shirt.
You want fries with that?
The good folks at TFN have apparently gotten their hands on scans of the Burger King promotional material for ROTS.
Pretty cool stuff and interestingly from all six movies. Yes, there are ROTS spoilers, so run, run away Sir Dan.
ROTS charity screenings
May 12th is the day that lucky (and rich) people in 10 U.S. cities will get a chance to attend charity screenings of “Revenge of the Sith.” Lucky buggers.
Also, check out the link at the bottom of the page for a very interesting picture (spoiler!).
Lucky dog!
Some guy over on AICN is claiming to have seen the first eight minutes of ROTS. Not sure if it’s true or not, but seems to jive with spoilers I’ve found on the net.
The review was quite favorable. Needless to say, massive spoilers.
Is it May yet? AHHHHH!!!!
Episode 3 in the Databank
The official site has updated their databank for ROTS with new information on Anakin, Padme, Obi-Wan, Bail, Palpatine and one completely new character. The entries themselves are fairly vague, but there are several new photos.
ROTS review?
The UK’s Channel 4 has posted a “review” of Revenge of the Sith.
Neat trick considering they’ve not seen it. Still, some interesting tidbits of information and speculation.
Big time spoilers, so run, run away cave-dwellers.
Game On!
If you got a bit lost in the flurry of fanboy love that came with the movie trailer, you might have missed the release of the trailer for the ROTS video game. More fleshed-out on the actual game than the earlier previews, it gives us an early glimpse of what to expect from Lucasfilm in the way of CGI sets and weaponry… And some VERY interesting possibilities for the finished film itself. But it IS only a video game, and these things ARE variable… but it’s a gold mine of nebulous hints to poke and prod at, and isn’t that part of the fun of the spoiler penthouse?
Trailer Causes Gridlock
In case you missed it, the teaser trailer for Star Wars: Episode III has been released.
Needless to say, it caused quite a stir. And the internet is still clogged up, today, with fans trying to get a glimpse of the trailer on StarWars.com.
The Daily Telegraph in Australia described well the phenomenon (AND THE TRAILER…for those avoiding it).
Stay tuned. I suspect Lucasfilm will be releasing hit numbers in the near future.
Teaser Time
TFN has a handy guide to where the ROTS teaser is playing today. If you don’t have AOL or Hyperspace, it’s airing on Access Hollywood (syndicated) or Total Request Live (MTV.)
