Personally, I think it would be hilarious for Lucas to constantly say he has no plans to do 7-8-9 and then turn around and do an episode -2, -1, 0 prequel-prequel Trilogy that focuses on Palpatine and how he got his Sith powers. 

Episode 0 could give us the long-awaited birth of Maul!   

Plus with a prequel-prequel trilogy, Lucas can start saying stuff like, "oh no - this whole saga wasn't about Vader/Anakin, it was always meant to be about Palpatine..." and "what I meant by last SW movie was that Vader's SW Story would be over".   

Um... I'm gonna vote No to proposition "Make a prequel-prequel movie" - bad idea, George.   

A Jedi v. Sith movie set 88 years before TPM flies in the face of the "The Sith have been extinct for a millenia" line from episode 1.  The whole thing would end up being lame...

Here's the current state of my "Armies" -

1x Preview Wookiee Warrior
1x III-4   Super Battle Droid
4x III-6   Clone Trooper
1x III-8   Grevious's Bodyguard
1x III-17   Battle Droid
2x III-23   Royal Guard (Blue)
2x III-23   Royal Guard (Red)
2x III-33   Clone Commander
3x III-34   Clone Pilot
2x III-38   AT-TE Gunner
2x III-41   Clone Trooper
1x III-42   Neimoidian Warrior
1x III-43   Wookiee Warrior (Tan)
1x III-43   Wookiee Warrior (Brown)
1x III-44   Destroyer Droid
2x Target   Clone Trooper


I use the term "armies" loosely, because I am really trying to behave myself this time and not end up with dozens of troopers...  I just can't afford to keep up the way I used to army-build.

You kids leave Matt's avatar alone! 

How do you determine who is and who is not a Star Wars collector?   

I'm just wondering how often you've actually turned someone down because you somehow knew they weren't a collector.

I've turned down people in the aisles who have asked for 1-2 of my Army Builders because I knew they were NOT a "real" collector. 

I "somehow knew they weren't a collector", because I've been to the comic/hobby shop that they owned and seen where those figures would have ended up.   

Granted, it probably isn't cool to hoarde if someone else is right there and is interested in the figures, but when it's a person you KNOW is one of the local scalpers, I don't have a problem with stiffing them. 

Jeff

Do we have any other pictures of these figures?:



These things keep coming one after the other. What will this assortment look like?  (With Ask Ack (?) I suppose).

#45-47 (tarkin, Mon Cal, Aak Aak) will be the next wave in collection 2.  You can find a bit more info in this Thread.

A few rumors have popped up that people have started finding them at Wal-Marts, but nothing concrete yet...

The other thought was they were in the scene were one of the Clones tells Cody there was no sign of Kenobi

This is where I saw them.  Two of them walk past the Clones as they talk.  The first time I saw the flick, I thought they were ERGs, but they were too tall. 

The second viewing is when I noticed they were Utupau Warriors.  Also, off to the far left of the screen at that part you can see a group of Utuapau Warriors huddled together.

Jeff

Hey Jeff, what is an UltraScreen?  I don't think I've heard that term before.

The local theater chain opened a brand new screen for the debut of Episode 3 - UltraScreen.

Marcus UltraScreen

It's basically a screen that is 75ft wide and 32 ft tall with a kick-ass digital sound system.

The huge screen was nice, but the sound system they had totally blew me away.  I've seen 3 movies there now and the sound for each has been phenomenal!

Jeff

Mon Mothma (cut from film, maybe in the background and I missed it)

She was in one scene, walking down the hallway on the Tantive with Bail and two other people.

That was Bail's assistant I thought

Yeah Scott, the gal on Tantive IV was not Mon Mothma.

The only place Mon Mothma can really be seen is in the group of Senators who greet Anakin and Palpy when they land at the Senate (after the crash).
