A Quick Tidbit About EPISODE III And A Certain Young Captain...
SPOILER ALERT !!
Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...
I’ve seen a lot of speculation on the net that the “young captain” we’ve heard mentioned who will be showing up in EPISODE III was going to be Han Solo. I really hated that idea. Made the universe feel even smaller. But the following anecdote suggests that it’s someone else entirely, and it actually sounds like a lot of fun. Besides which, if this story is true, it suggests a playfulness that I think fans don’t always give Lucas credit for.
This is unsubstantiated, keep in mind, but it’s really entertaining, so check it out:
Small bit on "A young captain" from Revenge of the Sith (from Sydney Australia)
The guy's name is Rohan Nicols. He's voiced a character in an pilot indie animation-comedy called "Big Space" about a bunch of Australians lost in space. You can check out his Bio right here.
The 'young captain' in question is Captain Antilles, and I heard a a great story from the set about his first day of shooting.
Apparently, he cut himself shaving right before he was due to shoot. No one in makeup could stop it bleeding - big cut! Then he gets his call to get into a buggy and onto the other side of the set where George is waiting for him. Guy's waiting all his life to be in Star Wars, right? And now he's bleeding to death from the chin. All over his Captains Uniform.
He says to George... "Hi...here I am...but I cut myself pretty bad...so...what do you want me to do?"
Prolly expecting to be replaced, he waits while George looks him over. Finally GL says...
"Here's what we'll do. Get back to make up. I want cuts just like that one, but all over your face. What was your line?..
[THE LINE WAS DID YOU MET WITH ANY RESISTANCE / NO SIR, WE MET WITH NO RESISTANCE]
"OK, now your line is: YES SIR...WE MET WITH SOME RESISTANCE"
Now this may be the most creative decision I have heard from GL in the entire making of these prequals! ;p
Anyway, apparently there's going to be an action figure with Rohan's character with shaving cuts all over his face.
That's a story worth having kids for just so you can tell them one day when you’re older...
That's it
D_And for those of you who want to enjoy some serious spoiler action, check out the scoop that Rebelscum.com landed today, a complete checklist of all the EPISODE III trading cards that pretty much lays the entire movie out.
I can’t believe how close we are to May. Hurryhurryhurryhurryhurryhurry...
"Moriarty" out.

The movies going to blow!!!!
-
GL - "Hey, how about Greedo shoots first!". How's that for a creative decision?
And now I know the entire plotline and ending for EP 3. What can I say? -
How about we find out Padme actually gets knocked up by Chewie.. that would be a plot twist!
Seriously, I really really really want this flick to be good.. but the last two films on the track record are depressive to think about. -

...how to spell "prequel".
-
Everybody seems to be related in these movies, so I don't doubt Solo will show up. This movie will suck. The last good Star Wars movie was released in 1977.
-
That's the whole story? I mean I'm sure it will be a cute story for that actor and good for him but as an example of George Lucas's creativity that is supposed to spur me to being more hopeful about Episode III it blows monkeys. The guy cut his face so they reworked the scene to account for it. Wow! That has to be a first not just in the history of movies but of drama as a whole! Geepers! I mean I figured at the very least since Han Solo was being mentioned that maybe they'd tie this guys chin injury into the scar Harrison Ford has on his chin. That would have at least been something! But George Lucas essentially reworking things a teeny bit in the spirit of, "The show must go on"?!?!? Can we go back to when the news was crappy boy bands showing up as Jedi's in crowd scenes? That was stupid crap and yet still more interesting than this.
-
you're all making me cry. YODA, I've FAILED YOU!!!
-
Now there is a spoiler!
-
The card was a nice acquisition. Previous to this I never wanted to see any spoilers concerning the Star Wars trilogy. With Episode III, you know the major plot points that are going to unfold. Even so, I'll be there at 12:01, no doubt. The Wookie army, the light saber battle and seeing how it all fits together are worth the price of admission. I can't wait.
-
Yeah, I read that plot summary from the card and it really didn't tell me much of anything new. We already knew pretty much all of this anyway. I ordinarily avoid spoilers, but I know this will suck, so I don't care if I know the story already. I made the mistake of seeing Ep II in the theater and had to sit through that nonsense. I probably won't make the same mistake with Ep III unless I am jonesing for movie theatre popcorn and then I might just go for the CGI...but probably not.
-
"Hi George, I'm here to play Chewie but the Wookiee outfit hasn't arrived". GL: "Ok here's what you do - film the scene naked and we'll change the line to reflect some other shaving related accident"
-
These talkbacks are sooo funny. You get Rupee 88 talkin how reading the plot summary didnt tell him anythin new. He knew all the plot details prior to readin that card, but has no interest in R.O.T.S whatsoever. Honestly! He won't be watchin the movie! No sirree! Seen the others too but not this time Mr Lucas, coz he KNOW it will suck. What a fkn plank!

by i dunno
It's getting tiring. You fucking losers should get it by now. You don't like a movie, don't waste your time in its Talkback explaining that to everyone. NO.ONE.FUCKING.CARES. That is all. I thought it was a pretty amusing anecdote.
-
true pure artistic genius.
-
Considering I've already seen the three that came after it, of course the general plot and happenings were predictable. BUT THE REAL REASON YOU WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE IS OBI-WAN VS. ANAKIN!!!! However, there were two things that totally blew me away when I read about them: Anakin killing Padme, and Yoda getting owned by the Emperor.
-
Because all of you that hated the special editions still went to see Phantom Menace, and you hated that so much you were first in line to see Clones, and you hated that.
And now your childhoods have all been raped so extensively that THIS time you know better, and won't see Revenge of the Sith.
Which is great news for those of us that ARE going to see it- we won't have our enjoyment spoiled by a bunch of whining bitches. Cheers! Bitches! Etc! -
Hmm, there may be hope yet :)
-
Dumbass.
-
...cautiously optimistic about this movie, although I must confess that my repressed fanboy geekitude is bubbling closer to the surface with every new detail I discover. While I cared for only about 30% of Return of the Jedi and approximately the same portion of Attack of the Clones... while I detested Phantom Menace... I could honestly call the entire Star Wars tapestry a success if Lucas hit this critical installment out of the park. It's the big one... the nail for which the entire universe wanted (think about what might have happened differently if these critical events in Anakin's life hadn't unfolded this way)... and, if done right, it could make me forgive what amount to two and a third bad movies out of five. It looks promising. But I've been burned before... to the point where my inner Star Wars fan is now more machine than man. But, as we've seen before, that doesn't mean he's beyond redemption. It's all up to Lucas. Don't let me down, George. Not again.
-
I can't see any mention of this anywhere yet, maybe I'm stating the obvious that everyone already knows, but the relevance of this character is that a refrence to 'Captain Antilles' is a throwaway line by C3P0 in the original 1977 movie.

I can't understand anyone loathing a Star Wars movie...
by orionsangels
Considering no one forces you to go see them. Not liking the films is one thing, but some of you sound like you have a bone to pick. It's simple. Star Wars didn't go in the direction you wanted it to? Aw well, move along. Don't be jealous of people who still like it and feel like you have to come here and rain on our parade. Feeling bitter? If you are, well I'm sorry Star Wars was 50% of your life. If you really hate star wars that much, okay then, finish with it, leave. Don't go to SW movies anymore, of course 99% of you naysayers will go anyway. Then you'll come here and rag on it again. Don't you people get tired of this? Lucas has already showen he could careless what you have to say.
I'm just happy I'm not one of you guys and love star wars. Because you guys seem lonely. -
Is there anyone out there that prefers the Han/Greedo alteration and prefers the fact that Greedo shoots first. Not being facetious to Star Wars fans I genuinely want to hear that opinion. I'm in a Star Wars minority myself, prefering P M to A O T C as it contains my favourite movie fight of all time and the best scene in all the Star Wars chapters.
-
There is one person who prefers it, and he's unfortunately the only one who matters, because he made the film, and can change it as he sees fit.
-
"Princess, there was no danger at all." Stupid smug characters in the first prequel movies. I like the idea that he's got fucking cuts all over his face, one arm's gone, he's bleeding out of his eye sockets, and he stoically/sardonically quips "yes, there was some resistance" -- doesn't that scream 1977 to you? That's the stuff I wish we saw in the sterilized prequels. :P

Apparently this is George Lucas' creative process in action.
by eye_h8_u
I wonder if it happened this way on ESB. "Um, Mr. Lucas! We have a problem with Mr. Harrison Ford!" "What's the problem now?!" "Um sir, Mr. Ford has somehow managed to become encased in carbonite." "Hmmmm- I've got it! It's no problem at all! I think I've got a way to angle this into the script! CALL KERSH RIGHT AWAY FOR ME BOBBY!"
-
That's the card with the older fatter Lucas with bloated-neck trying to convince himself and us that Jar Jar was a great idea and Phantom Menace was a great chapter. But I will give George props for Attack of the Clones and for this upcoming final chapter. And the solution to the shaving cut is very clever and on the spot creative. Now if George will just stop fucking up Indy 4 and let it get going already.

...the young Captain actually shit his pants. Now he is sitting there in the buggy. Smelling like a bag of shit to high heaven and he is minutes away from meeting GL. GL, smelling the shit in Cap's pants decides to change the dialogue, cuz' after seeing the first two prequels...you know he makes this shit (pun intended) up as he goes along...changes the scene to...
You meet any resistance?
Yea, and that Darth Vader motherfucker scared the shit out of me!
Thus, Episode III gets a PG-13 rating.
-
C3PO says something like "Our last master was Captain Antilles..." Maybe this is another link between EP 3-4.

It totally has the air of one of those cornpone rumors forwarded millions of times over to unwilling e-mailboxes.

by orionsangels
The Blockade runner is in ROTS. So It could be that when ROTS ends, young Captain Antilles is left in command of the Blockade runner. He's given the droids as a gift by Obi-Wan or they somehow end up with him. Oh and to answer that guys question, yes I believe that is Captain Antilles who gets choked by Vader in, A New Hope.
-
I did a mock commercial in 11th grade for Film and Television that was "the new Scccchik Light-Shaver".. which was all about the ultimate in close shaving, the blade lights up (like a lightsaber) and we see close ups of him shaving etc.. and at the end, he does the usual rubbing of the face you see in every shaving commercial he smiles and then his head falls off... GL STOLE IT!!... well not really.. but it's nice when a story helps you remember old triumphs haha
-
Death is back..
-
...because he's gotta know ROTS is going to bury their little movie, no matter how good Hitchhiker is, almost no one knows wtf it is." Now you've got to be being sarcastic, right? Because not only serious sci fi fans, but fans of good books in general are pretty familiar with the Hitchhiker's Guide and Adams' follow ons. Oh... (and feel free to correct me on this any of you Brits out there), but I believe it was and remains hugely popular in Britain, where I understand they enjoy movies almost as much as Americans do. Just because you don't know wtf something is, doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't... or that a Hitchhiker movie won't do better than the third installment in a pretty disappointing series of prequels. Check out any one of the Hitchhiker talkbacks on this site to see just how eagerly anticipated that film is and by how many. Then re-read your own post complaining about how many "haters" there are in the Star Wars talkbacks. Might want to rethink your rather stilted and narrow perspective on the universe, there, orionsangels.

So...waidaminnit...
Youve very astutley categorized the 2 classes of talkbacker here, and then went on to deftly jab insultingly at them, but that begs the question:
What about you? I mean, lets turn that razor sharp discernment inward, shall we? I mean, it seems to me you may have left out a THIRD stripe of talk backer...the annoying as piss guy that comments from above on the lost and befuddled idiots who post in talkbacks, without actually giving any constructive input to the flow of discussion.
TO SUM UP:
Shut the fuck up, you idiot twit. Let the Lucas bashing net nerds say what they're gonna say, and SAVOR the Lucas loving net nerds (of which I am, PROUDLY, one)for the dripping pearly wisdom that we ejaculate all over your eager willing upturned face....leaving you lapping up jism like a kitten at a bowl of warm, salty milk.

...apparently it had been confirmed by a number of scientists that all the people who post things like "The next Star Wars is gonna blow" have extremely small penises and no balls whatsoever. In a related story, it appears that these same idividuals who lack testicles and have been forced to endure life with a micro-sized weiner also enjoy shoving their head up their own asses. Weird, huh? Life must be hard for them.
