Nice stuff. Ian McDermaid in the chair was a nice shot. The new Jedi Starfighters, while a nice touch, look a little fruity though. I'll have to see them in action to be sure. We going to Alderaan here? The part on the Tantavie IV would suggest it. That would definately make the film worthwhile.


Made for IE Forum's Episode III theme month - May 2005.

Man,
I was just going to bed...............

There goes that idea for at least another hour!!!

DAMN fine find!

DUDES that BOWCASTER!!!!!

Anakin on the Tantive IV!!!

But sadly..

The Naboo N-1 Starfighter is a work of art but this...........



Those new ships look stupid - I'm sorry but they do, the R2 looks pasted on...man, It just looks so weak and like some 12 years old kid just rubber cemented a box of Star Wars and GI Joe toys together - I dunno maybe I'll get used to it

-THEY should have used a Z95 Headhunter -



OR even brought the V-19 Torrent starfighter over from the CLONE WARS toon



The rest of the pictures look AWESOME!!!!

Hey, I kinda like the new ship because it shows the progression from the Jedi Starfighter to the TIE Fighter. Very cool.

Plus, did anyone notice the return to a puppet Yoda?

Bossk hits it on the head - the progression is there for all to see - tho if I wanted to shoot down a new Jedi Strafighter I'd come from it's right side - the pilot can't see as there's a big droid blocking his view! lol

Maybe the Yoda puppet will be CGI'd over - and it's there for the other actors to act with?

You look at GG's eyes and you swear he needs some anti-depressants.

Awesome stuff guys. He improved with ATOC, lets hope Ep. III ("Rise of the Empire" or "Revenge of the Sith" from what I hear) will be awesome. Did you guys read my episode III thread of the story the guy wrote that was based on all the spoliers, trailers, pictures, etc. The Jedi Council at the force.net all thought it was awesome and apparently it has been viewed by lucas itself and has quite a bit of merit. Check it out on this forum.

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this, but in the photo of Anakin kissing Padme, she looks pretty noticably pregnant, so it would appear Anakin was aware of the fact before he turned to the darkside.

also I really like the look of the new jedi star-fighter even if it does look like it was cobbled together from bits and pieces of the original trilogy's ships, Tie-advanced wings, b-wing cockpit, and the Falcon's mandibles at the front, it goes along way towards bridging the gap between the two trilogies in terms of fighter design.

Yep, looks fake to me, too. Just look at the name "Rise of the Empire" across the bottom. The left end of the name extends past the guidelines and left edge of the "Episode III" above it. Aligns perfectly on the right, mind you. But not on the left. The Vader helmet is far too angry looking. What I've seen so far looks pretty similar to the Vader helmet we're all accustomed to. Plus, with how the packaging has advanced, there is no way they would leave that much black space on the top half of the card and make the bottom half of the card such a spoiler as to what happens in the movie (Lava? C'mon!).

Lastly, why would they be using an Episode III card on a Bespin Leia figure?

Ok Ok........

Thats a fake, but it's just thier idea of what the packaging MAY look like based on the real stuff.

It's over at TF.N, but heres the link to the website they got it from.

It really does have an evil looking Vader looking over the Lava.

So Die-JarJar-Die......you were kind of right!!!

lol i found the website through a UK collectors site called A PRIVATE UNIVERSE..............

they're normally pretty good with bullshit stuff & then when I found it had been posted at theforce.net I thought what the heck & posted away.

Interestingly the jedidefender site (where the photos originated) is now down! Curious eh?

Um as for the wrong figure being shown......if it's only a mock up/presentation prototype its not likely to have an official Ep3 figure...in the past when new packaging has been revealed its almost always been a previously or recently released figure stuck on just for show!

Hmmm... I still say it's BS. I don't think they'd include that dramatic a spoiler (the lava) on the card. Just my two Lincolns.

Just for the record, I know that JediDefender will post stuff without confirmation. They've made retractions before. And isn't TF.N just another fanboy site anyway? I dunno. Maybe I'm just being optimistic because I think the packaging looks like arse.

well i didnt know what to think of it really, hadn't put too much thought into the actual packaging itself, it was the movie title that intrigued & excited me...

well we'll find out soon enough what's going on, isn't there some sneak preview figures due out soon?

not that I'll bother getting them, Hasbro have killed my love of collecting Star wars & I'm currently in the process of looking to sell my collection....I'm sure 'll get excited when I see them but I'll let some other poor schmuck part with cash....

not so much of a spoiler but a cool read...

George Lucas Hints 'Star Wars Episode 3' Title
[Tue June 15, 2004 08:48PM]
George Lucas has been speaking out about the rumored title for Star Wars: Episode III. He told USA Today that the title won't officially be announced until November, when the first trailer hits theaters.

Although he confirmed that fans on the Internet had already have guessed the title correctly. Asked whether it was the recently rumored 'Rise of the Empire', "No, that's not it," Lucas said.

When asked if it was 'Revenge of the Sith', Lucas is said to have smiled knowingly, backed away and teased, "That's a possibility. Lots of titles out there ..."
