Title: The Official Cast Thread
Post by: MisterPL on June 20, 2003, 11:16 AM
I'm starting this thread to announce the latest cast additions to Episode III not only to trim the number of "New Cast Member!" threads but to keep the spoilers in the body of the thread rather than the title where it's visible to the rest of the forum.

With that, I present Mon Mothma (http://www.starwars.com/episode-iii/bts/production/news20030619.html):

Played by Genevieve O'Reilly, not Natalie Portman as some have speculated.

I was just about to post the same thing...good idea for a thread title too until we figure out how to blank out the Subject title from the rest of the non-spoiler people :-*

I just realized...

Like the ever so popular WWJD...everyone should do the Opposite of WWGD??? (http://www.galactichunter.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=Prequels&Number=37398&Main=37364#Post37398)

Please everyone Don't Do What Gregg Does

Thoughts?

Please everyone Don't Do What Gregg Does

I saw that earlier today, and had a nice chuckle to myself.  Looks like he already got hollered at by someone for doing that.  But I must add that Mon Mothma was quite the hottie in her younger days...   :D

John, you've done well here my friend, as we were just discussing in the Admin forum several days ago that we really needed to keep an eye on the posts, and especially the thread titles in the Ep. 3 Spoiler section.  So once again, you've made our life a little easier - thanks!  Uber-helpful posting streak up to 2 days for you now!  Keep it up!   :-*

BTW, there's a couple more recent Ep. 3 casting confirmations in this thread (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?board=26;action=display;threadid=1698) as well...

First off Gregg seems to think if someone (author/writer/director/site) says it then it not a spoiler and should not have a warning as seen over at RS.   ::)
As far as this thread I like the fact that it would hide stuff that we don't want to know if we want to be free of knowing what happens.  
I glad that Mon Moth is going to be in Ep3 and maybe this would mean a EU character will be in the movie as will, the third member of the founding of the Alliance.

Definitely not a bad looking chick, but man, do the woman in the SW universe age bad or what?

I mean, jeez, its only 20 years between EIII and ANH.  The above situation is too bad, but look at the younger version of Aunt Beru in AOTC and compare her to the ANH version.  

**Shudders**

Hey, it's not like these women are living in Beverly Hills. They have hardships, difficult lives. Look at any U.S. president when he took office and compare him ONE TERM later. Politics ain't good for the complexion or the scalp.

As for Beru, that's just sun damage... times TWO! (I think she's pretty hot. I'd shag her rotten.)

I found this description to be most interesting, especially with the return of Chewbacca.

"Rohan Nichol has appeared in such films as Garage Days, A Man's Gotta Do, and Kjaerlighet / Love. His television credits include "Water Rats," "Above the Law" and "The Artful Dodger." He takes on the role of a young captain in Episode III."

Meet your new Captain Solo, folks.

No way, Solo is would be way to young to be in Episode III, he'd be like 8-10

I'm thinking Captain Antilles...  ;)
Title: Re: The Official Cast Thread
Post by: Scott on June 26, 2003, 01:41 PM
He'd be a little more plausible, I'd say a new Imperial Officer as another option

Wow, I can't believe that he could be the young Han Solo.  That would be very cool if there is a Han Solo in EP3, but Scott's right... he wouldn't be a teen ager in the EP3.  Maybe he could be Antilles.  Damn, I want to know more!  ;D

I'm stickin' to my Han Solo theory for now. Just with Chewie being reintroduced, anythings possible. The age thing doesn't seem too far fetched for me to believe either. Han Can be about 18-22 in Episode 3, and after the 20 years between the 2, Han comes back as a 42 yr old smuggler.

I don't think Han Solo is in his 40's "A New Hope."  He might be in his late 20's or early 30's, but no way is he in his 40's.

I feel that Cory's theory could be true, so I am currently not discarding it.

If we are judgin by looks here, I'd say that my theory is very possible.

Brad Pitt..guess how old he is.

40!  ;)

Brad Pitt is 40????  Holy smokes!!!!!  I sure hope I look that good when I'm 40... only 10 more years to go.   ;)

Post by: Jango Fettish on June 26, 2003, 05:15 PM
I know! Thats why I am leaning towards that guy that was cast to be a young Han Solo, just because I honestly think he can be about 20..21 in Episode 3. Then fast forward 20 years and still look pretty young, but still be 40..41..42.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see though. Heres hoping to me being right.  :P
