September 29 - Episode 2 Storyboards

Many sites have posted the new Episode 2 storyboards. At first I thought that they were a hoax, but not anymore. Wanna know why? The sites that posted these images got emails from Lucasfilm to take them down. Why would they bother with it if it wasn't the real thing?

MAJOR SPOILERS Highlight: These storyboards showcase two major battles; one between Obi-Wan and Jango Fett and the other in an arena. It appears that the Jango Rumors are true after all.

Lots of stuff is leaking out now, so I would advise you to stop checking all the spoilers unless you want Episode 2 to be ruined for you. I myself am stuggling with my adiction to Star Wars News. For those of you like me, who just can't get enough, visit the Episode 2 picture page. Follow Spy Photos to see the storyboards.Check 'em out!!

Archived News

August 4 - Select Pic - 3D room!!

Martin Bond, from Tatooine QC sent this in to Episode X

The SELECT 4 is an unfolded VR! So I rolled it back into a Quicktime V,R in order to allow us to look at it as as a photographic virtual reality.

You open it with Quicktime, you click inside and you drag to see the 360 degrees! The resolution is low, but that is because of the source.

It seems to me that Lucasfilm will offer us a virtual tour of the set sometime, like they did with Anakin's home! Click here to see it.

August 4 - Pics taken down

The spy photos were taken off SirSteve's and their original source. They can still be seen at JediNet

August 3 - HUGE News - Pictures from the set!!

Want so see more amazing pics, visit Sir Steve's Guide. more...

UPDATE! I made some changes to the Obi-Wan picture. It's brighter and has more contrast. It also is a little smaller.Click here to see.

August 2 - On Location Problems

There have been a lot of problems with the "On Location" feature on the Official Site. People are having problems veiwing it, even people with QuickTime. There seems to be a problem with the streaming format. TheForce.Net posted links so you could download the video to your hard drive. Then, as per request by the Official Site, they took down the links because they took traffic away from the Official Site. If they want more traffic then maybe they should get a format that works!!! Something has to be done or many of us will not be able to view the videos. I am disapointed with the Official Site so I will post the links anyway. It's not fair for those of us who have problems with the format. I'm sure that they won't find out about this little opperation and shut me down. So try this out:

Hi-Rez 24.8 MB
Lo-Rez 3.16 MB
