RUMOUR ARCHIVE:
20/02/2001
A report from one of our informants gives clues onto a
hopeful star of the next movie. Minor Spoilers so
highlight away:
"Cinema
Review has interviewed Matt Damon
who said he had 'something very special' coming up at
some time soon and it involved some 'intergalactic
adventures'. Could this be a Star Wars movie? Possibly
Episode III since it hasn't been filmed yet but Episode
IV is definately likely. Damon is going to appear in
Kevin Smith's 'Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back' movie
which also stars Mark Hamill, rumoured to be playing the
clone of Anakin."

Another report from the Official
Site on the director of Episode
IV, confirming rumours we received earlier in the week.
Follow this link.
13/02/2001
This is a confirmation of several spoilers from a few
months ago (1, 2, 3): [Highlight]
George Lucas has let Declan Mulholland anounce is role."I
am very happy to be a part of this soon to be legendary
saga" says Mulholland he pauses and starts to speak
again"I am going to be playing Jabba the Hutt"
he latter told the press that It is only a minor roll and
that he'll be just standing in for the CG charecter to be
added in after post production. [End spoilers]
So it is true. I'm guessing Mr. Lucas is releasing this
information early to get the message through to everyone
that there will indeed be 6 chapters to the saga.
13/02/2001
Information on the directors of the new movies. [Highlight]:
"New just in Lucas will be director of SW4, but not
SW5 but Spielburg will Direct it, but I don't know about
SW6." [End spoilers]
13/02/2001
Info on the character Boba Fett in Episode IV has arrived
as well as details on a scene that may be in the movie. [Highlight]:
"I have some news about Episode II's 12 year old
Boba Fett's cameo in SW4, he won't have a very big role
in fact he wont even speak any lines at all, you'll only
see him behind Jabba the Hutt when Jabba's talking to Han
Zoler/Luke Skywalker." [End spoilers]
02/02/2001
Somewhat late but this is our first report of 2001. A spy
has found a supposed cast listing for Episode IV. High
light to read:
Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker/Han
Zoler)
Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia Organa)
Ralph Fiennes (Grand Moff Tarkin)
Ewan McGregor (Obi-wan)
Natalie Portman (Padme Organa)
Anthony Daniels (C-3PO)
Kenny Baker (R2-D2)
Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker)
Joel Edgerton (Owen Lars)
Bonnie Piesse(Beru Lars)
James Earl Jones (Voice of Darth Vader)
Having
looked into the first names I have got some doubts.
The actors Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher seem a lot older
than we'd expect the characters to be. If this movie is
set 20 years after Episode III it is unrealistic that
Anakin's son would be around 40 - that's about the same
age as Anakin. UNLESS
"Luke Skywalker" is in fact a clone of Anakin
but that begs the question why would they hire a
different actor to play the part?
On another note it seems to confirm Ewan McGregor and
Hayden Christensen but look at the name next to Natalie
Portman - Padme Organa!!! Does she
marry Bail Organa at some point? And is this "Princess
Leia" their daughter? Still, none of this is
confirmed and there is quite a long time to go until the
release of the movie.
15/12/2000
FilmInfo.com, the site in which
George Lucas revealed he was making the second trilogy
has a report on who may be directing it. It seems that
producer Rick McCallum has said that Lucas has been
"tired throughout the making of Episode II but will
fulfil his commitments on the third movie." To add
to the rumour-mill he went on to discuss the next Indiana
Jones installment saying that, "Steven [Spielberg]
has been interested in working on a Star Wars movie since
TPM was released."
Hmm, could we be seeing Mr Spielberg directing Episode IV
of the saga? That could turn out to be one heck of a
movie!!!
07/12/2000
The first bit of news is a report from DarthZoler, our
supposed spy in the works with some interesting info. [highlight
to read spoilers]: "The
release of new photos on the Official Site
brought to mind some things I've heard in passing around
the offices. I'm not sure how you want to take them but
here goes - supposedly Threepio (who now has platings)
will be a different colour by Episode IV - silver! Also,
there'll be a scene like the now pretty much confirmed
Episode II one!"
12/11/2000
HOT NEWS!!!!!!!!
The Official Site has updated with
information on the casting of Obi-Wan in Episode IV. This
is the first official info we've had so far. Follow this
link to check it out!
05/11/2000
An insider called DarthZoler sent this in today along
with several other reports I have been told not to reveal
for a while - but believe me, if true they're pretty hot!
Serious spoilers Highlight:
"I work inside Lucas
and it is true that the script has been written - at
least an early draft of it. From what I can make out this
"Princess Leia Organa" is NOT Bail Organa's
daughter but rather a pseudoname used by Padmé to hide
from Anakin after he becomes a Sith Lord - something you'll
see definate signs of in Episode II!"
This report confirms the previous one. Anakin may very
likely become the rumoured "Darth Vader". Wow!
No one expected that. Could be that Anakin and Padmé's
son, Luke (or 'Han Zoler' as he is known to the galaxy)
will try to hunt him down!
03/11/2000
A report today has possibleinformation on a battle in
Episode III and the origin of Episode IV's Sith! [Highlight
to read]: "In SW3 Anakin falls
into a pit of lava after he fights Obi-Wan,and becomes
Darth Vader." This is very interesting - especially
since we've heard rumours of Anakin and Obi-Wan's
relationship becoming strained in Episode II!
29/10/2000
Recent information I have been receiving contains some
serious spoiler information which may not be completely
revealed for some time but for now some little tid bits
to whet your appetite:
My sources say C-3PO and R2-D2
will
be returning but no mention of Jar
Jar despite rumours of him being the co-pilot of Luke
Skywalker who, it seems uses the alias Han Zoler!
22/10/2000
Another source came in recently with new information on a
character as well as shedding some light on a report that
made little sense to me several months ago: [Highlight]
"The character Han Zoler is definately in SW4
and he is a smuggler and will have an
alien co-pilot who fans of TPM will recognise!" This
brought to mind the following report: [Highlight] "There'll
be a pirate in Episode IV who turns out to be Skywalker's
kid. The alien will turn out to be an older Jar Jar
watching over the young Skywalker. I also hear there is
going to be a Major Development with Bail Organa! Oh yeah
now I remember where I heard it all! It was from Harry
over at AICN!! That guy gets all the good scoops!"
22/10/2000
Well, I've been ill over the past few days and as well as
the flu I've been suffering from information overload
from various sources. I'll release the info bit by bit
starting with this which dismisses my original theory
about a character rumoured to appear in Episode IV [Highlight]
"Princess Leia Organa is not Bail's
wife,
but is his daughter. another spoiler ,in
the SW4 script it says this
DEATH STAR is a
space station.
19/10/2000
My source has also sent a list of characters that are in
the script for Episode IV. My own theories in brackets.
These include [Highlight]: Luke
Skywalker (confirmation of Anakin's son!) , Darth Vader (the
new Sith that Obi-Wan is rumoured to duel), Han Zoler (Some
alien character?), Princess Leia Organa (Bail Organa's
wife), Bail Organa (Senator of Alderaan - seen in Episode
II), Ben Kenobi (As my informant said - "the thing I
wonder about is this Ben kenobi.is he Obi's brother?.I
could'nt find any thing to do with that in the script."),
an unnamed Wookie (I doubt this character would be very
important), Govenor Tarkin (Perhaps a similar character
to Episode II's Count Dooku), Owen and Beru Lars (So Owen
and Beru marry at some point between Episode II and III),
Obi-Wan Kenobi (Speaks for itself!). What I wonder is why
Anakin isn't mentioned. It seems strange that such an
important character would be left out of the movie
without explanation - unless Episode III deals with this
story.
19/10/2000
My regular source at LFL has sent in this information
regarding Anakin. It is spoiler-filled so beware! [Highlight]:
"News in I heard a rumor that Mr.Lucas, has said
Anakin Skywalker will be in one Episode of the sequels,but
the question is which one?" Very interesting indeed.
If Anakin is only in one does that mean he dies during
Episode IV? Perhaps he gives his life up to protect his
son (rumoured to be called Luke).
18/10/2000
After
getting in touch with
Declan Mulholland's agents I've discovered that
they refuse to disclose anything pertaining to his role
as the "real life"
Jabba the Hutt in Episode IV. Could this be
confirmation that he is indeed taken the part but is
unable to reveal information to the public as yet? We can
only wait and see.
18/10/2000
More information from our regular informant gives an
insight into the danger that the Jedi may have to deal
with in the movie. [Highlight]: "I've heard a rumor
that in SW4 is going to have something called THE
DEATH STAR it's most likely going to
be a huge star with fire power
or something."
17/10/2000
Another
day, another set of news - this time more concerning
Jabba the Hutt and Obi-Wan as well as an insight into the
lightsaber fighting style of Episode IV. [Highlight to
read]: "News in,about that
Jabba,thing he will be in Episode II as well as Episodes
III and IV . In Episode IV the role of the evil gangster
has been given to irish actor Declan Mulholland,to stand
in for the CG charecter to be added later."
Interesting news since until now they haven't needed an
actor to take the place of the CGI alien. Obviously he
will play a larger part thus requiring an actor to stand
in for him. The next bit of news is even
more interesting since it gives a hint towards a major
battle. It is seriously spoiler-filled. [Highlight to
read]: "A lot of Star wars
fans will probably disapointed about this spoiler,rember
the lightsaber battles in Episode I and Episode II big
and fast ,well Episode III will have a huge fast paced
lightsabre battle(rumored to be above a lava pit),but the
fourth film is going to have a more slower and
profesional type of fight rumored to be between Obi-Wan
and a dark lord of the sith." Obi-Wan and a new Sith
battling it out? Over Anakin perhaps...
16/10/2000
Two
more reports on Episode IV came in from a regular spy
that makes me wonder if the movie will be released much
sooner than we think - possibly it's being filmed back-to-back
with Episode III... [Highlight to read spoilers]:
"I've heard a rumor that Jabba the hutt will be in
Star Wars Episode IV and that he wants something from one
of the main characters... probably money!" Jabba
seems to becoming a very important character despite his
reasonably small part in the pod race scene in The
Phantom Menace as well as the rumours of him appearing in
Episode II. Most interesting. [Highlight
to read]: "I've heard that Owen
and Beru lars might be returning to the fourth Episode of
Star Wars I don't know how old Owen will be, I wonder if
Joel Edgerton will still be playing the role of him."
Obviously these two supposed minor characters will have a
much greater part to play in the coming movies... If any has any
reports don't fail to mail them to me!
15/10/2000
Two interesting bits of information from a source were
received today. [Highlight to read spoilers]:
"My friend works at (L.F.L.)
and knows nearly everything about the up coming STAR WARS
movie "EPISODE IV".I managed to get some
information out of him,he told me that Anakin Skywalker
will not be in this next movie but his son will be Luke
Skywalker."
Very interesting indeed. I hadn't heard anything about
Anakin having a son but we can only guess that the mother
is Padmé. The question is - what happens to Anakin for
him "not to be in it"? If anyone has any
information, mail it to me.
The other report said this. [Highlight for spoilers]: "News
just in Obi - Wan Kenobi will be in SW4 but he will not
be played by Ewan Mc Gregor.He will be played by an
unknown older english actor."
Older actor? This suggests quite a gap between Episodes
III and IV. I'm not sure about this since make up could
make Ewan McGregor look much older. Still, you never know...
28/09/2000
This report contains serious Episode
II
(you've been warned) and IV spoilers so beware and
highlight:
Since recent storyboards have been leaked showing the
death of Temura Morrison's bounty hunter character Jango
Fett we can safely say he won't be in Episode IV - but
perhaps the child - also mentioned in the boards - Boba
Fett will. Perhaps trying to avenge the death of his
father
End spoilers.
24/09/2000
I received this from a source, Ida. I'd take it with a
pinch of salt since Episode IV is a long way off
but you never know. Definate spoilers - highlight to read:
"I've just hear a very
interesting tidbit from a friend of a friend of mine who
works at fox studioes. It appears that Darth Tyrannus (if
that's his name) won't be in ep. IV. Sidous will get
himself a new apprentice, my friend wouldn't tell me his
name or what actor they are casting for this role, but he
did say that he will have a much more important role than
for instance Maul...Hopefully, we'll see this new Sith
Lord in all three sequels."
End spoilers.
21/09/2000
I received a very interesting rumour from a source today.
It's too soon to confirm it but its a poetntial spoiler
so highligh to read:
"I heard a rumour about
a jungle planet appearing in Episode IV, and a tribe of
warriors....."
End
spoilers
16/09/2000
Episode IV Universe opened. I know its a long way off yet
(2008 in fact - but I'm sure you all know that) but I
want this site to have all the information for the fourth
chapter of the Star Wars saga! If the amazing Phantom
Menace didn't leave you gasping for more and the fact
that the second episode is in the works isn't getting you
excited just read this recent interview with George Lucas,
wirter/director of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom
Menace from FilmInfo.com:
INTERVIEWER:
Is it true that there will be more to the Star Wars saga
than the current three chapters in the works?
LUCAS: Actually yes. When I originally wrote an outline
over twenty years ago there were six episodes planned. I
wanted to get the fourth made first and work forward then
backwards.
I: And why exactly was this?
GL: It seemed to make sense at the time, but after
several studios who will remain anonymous (laughs)
rejected it I felt I should wait until the cinema
technology was at the stage I could start at the
beginning. Hence Phantom, I guess.
I: So, what will happen in this "second trilogy"?
GL: Well, that would be telling (laughs)
So
it's true. There will be a fourth episode. Wow! What do
you think will happen? Maybe all six movies will follow
Anakin Skywalker's journey from child to old Jedi Master.
That would be pretty cool.
