Is Tarkin's role in the film in any sort of capacity or just a cameo?
"At best a cameo. JG"
Does Yoda really fart in the movie?
"In the rough cut, he did."
Can you give me a little hint or clue about Grievous?
Thanks.
"He hunches more than you would think. He is very different from the Clone Wars cartoon. Titi Jukassa is a young Jedi apprentice seen in the raid on the Temple."
Hey Josh, In The final duel between Anakin/Vader and Obi-Wan, are the two blue lightsabers the only ones used throughout the whole thing, or is a third (possibly red) saber thrown into the mix? Twelve minutes seems like an awful long time to go with just two lightsabers.
"Hmmm ... let me just tell you this. Most of the marketing from Frito Lay will be red vs blue. J"
Does Anakin/Vader use a Red Lightsaber at anytime during RotS?
"Yes."
When asked about Grievous' role and his sinister smart-ass attitude
"He only speaks a little, and honestly in the big story arc of the movie he plays a footnote. Also, he is one of the last pieces of the SW3 puzzle to be completed, so most people will actually "see him" late in the game."
A hint/tidbit about Palpy's revelation about being Sidious/a Sith Lord? Like, is his "transformation" literal? A literal physical transition the audience sees on screen? Maybe during the Mace duel?
"You have no idea about that you are about to see. The simple answer is YES. Heck, yes ... "
" ...when you SEE this, you'll understand my energy in loving this scene. Almost shockingly cool ..."
Is it safe to say tarkin is not in this movie?
"Tarkin is in. There is a cool unpublished tidbit about him though"
During the Duel on Mustafar does the fight go through the beginning stages of the structures of the Death Star?
"I'd prefer to not answer that."
Is the whole Sifo-Dyas/erasing of the Jedi archive file that important or that surprising? Any hints please?
"Nah, it isn't important. Sidious should have erased the survelliance tapes!"
I was wondering if you could give me a rough estimate as to how long the Mace vs Sidious fight is going to be? How much screen time do you think this fight will get? Will it be a very brief confrontation or will it span several minutes?
"It isn't much of a fight, but those moments are central to the whole rest of the film. It will satisfy."
Do I bring my children see EPISODE III?
"There is 2 versions (or more) of EPISODE III filmed, one PG version."
Any hint on the number of ships in the duel?
"Lots and lots. You can even see them in the background of Anakin - Dooku duel."
Is Anakin Darth Vader before the suit?
"Yes."
Will Darth Sidious use a lightsaber?
"Heck Yeah."
Can you tell me anything at all about what causes Sidious's look to change?
"He gets p**sed at Mace and the confrontation squad."
Will Qui-Gon appear in any form in RotS?
"Nope, and thanks for the kind words."
Will we feel remorse for Anakin when he meets his "demise" or is he just the bad guy at this point we want to see taken out? In other words, is there ever a spark of uncertainty in Anakin during the duel, that perhaps he made a big mistake? A moment where he might BEGIN see the light?
"You DEFINITELY see this in the Mace/Sidious deal. AWESOME. By the lava, he's pretty much gone."
Do Obi-Wan and Yoda still believe that Anakin is redeemable by the very end of ROTS? That he can be brought back to the light side through either of his children. Do they still believe in the Prophecy by movie's end?
"Yoda and Obi-Wan are DESTROYED at the end of the prequels. If the twins can't save them, no one can. He is truly the last hope. By the end, I would say they have all but given up."
In the big "reveal" scene, is it Sidious that takes off his hood to reveal he is really Palpatine, or is it Palpatine who somehow reveals he is sidious? Also when he fights, does he fight in his Chancellor clothes or his sith robes as Sidious?
"1/1. And Sidious=Palpatine will be cemented once and for all ... by Yoda of all people."
So, are you saying that he reveals who he really is during the yoda duel? or are you saying that Yoda figures it out earlier in the film? I thought Pablo said in one of his hyperspace chats that we would see Sidious without his hood on. Is there still a scene were Sidious reveals who he really is to Mace or whoever?
"The answer is yes."
What exactly is Sidious hiding under that hood? Is it something out of the ordinary or just a bald Palpatine?
"Palpatine is shockingly evil looking. We've seen him old and evil, but never this way."
"The old man was left crumpled to his knees.
"I cannot, I turn myself over to you. I am too weak in the end," he said. "Too old, weak ... I give up. Don't kill me, Master Windu. I surrender."
""Fool!" The lightning was reflected back to its source. The Chancellor reeled from the shock, snarling at his prey."
"Clouds of darkness filled the sky, and lightening bolts jolted the Coruscant cityscape. But it was a footnote compared to the lightening the Chancellor dispensed at his fingertips that same moment."
Are there any sequences (you mentioned Yoda vs. Sidious) that we'll want to refrain from knowing about before we see ROTS?
"Yoda vs Sidious is this. There's several more, actually. I was BLOWN AWAY when I saw the parts of the film that these rumors have been circulating for a while. They got it SO right."
Obi-Wan gets knocked out on the TF ship and later luckily beats Grievous with a blaster?
"Yup."
If Anakin is wiping the floor with everybody and then suddenly Obi-Wan is lasting against him, how will that be believable?
"It is. Obi-Wan is passionate about stopping Anakin once he realizes he can't be turned. Perhaps Anakin is weak or distracted, too."
Is Obi-Wan going to be seen as powerful enough to last around 12 minutes against Anakin?
"Actually THE DUEL is a misleading term. Maybe it should be THE DUELS."
What did you mean by Duels?
"The basic journey of the movie, once the dark side is unveiled, is to send Yoda to find Sidious and Obi-Wan to find Vader"
Although obviously you haven't seen the absolutely finished 100% ROTS, with what you've seen and heard right now, where would you rank ROTS in the Saga?
"#2 behind Empire, and it is darker and moodier than ESB."
How cool is Grievous going to be? Can LFL actually pull off a CG villain? Is the Obi-Wan & Grievous duel going to kick butt?
"It will. This is being finished REALLY LATE in the vfx cycle, so we'll see."
Will Owen tell Obi-Wan "He should of stayed out of it and not gotten involved"? If not then how does Obi-Wan know Owen's opinion on Anakin's involvement in the Clone Wars?
"More that he was impatient, cocky, etc. than anything else."
In terms of screen time, what are the approximate lengths of the ROTS duels?
"More than any other SW movie to date for sure."
