Latest updates on Star Wars Episode III

Star Wars Episode III Updated :

29th May 2002: Star Wars Episode III Update:
David Prowse, the guy who played Darth Vader in the original trilogy, hopes to return to the role in Episode III.

"I would love to reprise the Darth Vader role," Prowse told Reuters. "If I am 100 percent physically able, and they offer the part to someone else, I would be very disappointed."

Prowse undergoes a hip replacement operation in September,

"I should be walking properly by Christmas and can get back into the gym and training. I am going to surprise them all next year," he said. He added, "If Christopher Lee [who plays Count Dooku in Star Wars: Episode II—Attack of the Clones] can handle a lightsaber at the age of 80, then so can I."

27th May 2002: Star Wars Episode III Update:
George Lucas has been speaking to E! News Daily where he was asked the question of why C-3PO doesn't recognize Vader in A New Hope.

"Well, one, his brains have, his memory system has been erased and so has R2's. So, they don't remember anything from the first trilogy. I'm telling you something from Episode 3, but I shouldn't be telling you that, but I think most of the fans already know that".

Hmm. It's also been revealed that Natalie Portman will shoot additional scenes to be included in Episode VI - Return Of The Jedi, during the filming of Episode III, next year.


20th May 2002: Star Wars Episode II Update:
Well, here we go again. Attack Of The Clones was released in cinemas worldwide just four days back and took in the region of $89 million at the US box-office alone. The film didn't quite match the huge box-office take of Sam Raimi's Spiderman, but it was screened on much fewer screens. To check out the latest Episode II - Attack Of The Clones news, please check out our preview page. We'll post details on the DVD release and more when available.

I'll kick off this Episode III page with a little news that surfaced today over at ITV.com, the official website of the UK's biggest commercial TV station. The site posted an interview with Hayden Christensen that revealed a little more about Episode III.

Now episode 3 – the inevitable episode 3 question – are you looking forward to going badder and playing Darth Vader and having that moment with the helmet?

HC: Oh yeah – I'm desperately awaiting filming episode 3, because it'll be a lot of fun in my opinion in terms of my characters development and getting to really commit to making that transformation into Darth Vader will be a lot of fun and everything that happens in the next film – not that George has told me anything, but what you can extract from the previous trilogy – I think everything will just go to chaos and all the grammar will be set up so it will just be a lot of fun.

MN: And you say George hasn't told you anything –have you told him anything that you would like to do what you’d expect for the character?

HC: Not really - it's his moulding of it really and how he sees fit, but I have sort of nagged him a little bit about getting to wear the dark helmet and Darth Vader's costume, and he sort of gives me the wink, wink, nudge, nudge that I will – so that would be really cool, but other than that they're asking me to put on a little bit of weight or size – I'm not going to go De Niro and get real fat but just so I can be wicked with a light sabre, so I think there are going to be some pretty extensive fight sequences in the next one especially between Obi Wan and myself and that'll be fun.

Check out ITV.com for the rest of the interview.
