If they do anything other than adapt one of the many existing post-ROTJ stories then they are asking for trouble, IMO, because so much EU stuff exists now.

They really ought to film the Thrawn trilogy by Tim Zahn, because the books are excellent and in the same tradition as the films of high adventure and good fun. Either rotoscope the likenesses of Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher et al, or recast.

In fact, I can't overstate how awesome Thrawn on the big screen would be. I really want to start a petition...

Thanks to ben_danger I've seen the workprint now!

As someone who was skeptical of Trooperman's voice for Anakin due to what I'd seen in the odd preview clip, I have to say now that I think it's actually spot on. There are a few bits of poor lip-synching here and there but otherwise I thought it was a great improvement over Hayden.

Not so sure about the replacement Jar-Jar voice since he really does sound very different to the original. I couldn't even tell any of the other characters had been dubbed, the quality is that high.

Well done all round, and I look forward to the even better final version!

If we want more Maul dialogue, has anyone actually considered tweeting at Pete Serafinowicz? He is a massive geek, after all.

We're having postal strikes here in the UK so it's going to take even longer than normal :(

I'm in the UK and am quite happy to run off a few copies myself.

I really like the idea of adding some dropships (not necessarily PT ones, perhaps something from the XWing games?) in somewhere - I believe that this discussion was had elsewhere, though, to little avail. I think an all-new approach shot of the dropships leaving the Star Destroyers and heading for the surface would look super-awesome, but as someone said a few posts back, we all really just want all the spaceships and walkers beating the shit out of each other for two hours flat :)

On the interior of the walkers - I totally agree that there should be no red colouring for the interior shots, on the 'shiny sunglasses' theory. While the idea of having a huge HUD would be super-duper cool, I can't think of any other instances of HUDs elsewhere in the OT...
