I know that lots of you didn't like Attack of the Clones (which is my second favourite Star Wars Movie after Empire Strikes Back), but I'm already feeling fairly excited about Episode 3. Seeing how the whole things ties in to A New Hope, watching the rise of the Empire/downfall of the Republic/death of the Jedi will be fantastic and I'm very enamoured with the idea of having a series of 6 films following the life of one person from innocent boy to disaffected youth, through his corruption, evil and final redemption/death. I can't think of anything else that's even remotely on the same scale.

Anyway - the first draft is apparently finishedl:

McCallum added that the story will fit with Episode IV "in some very cool and unexpected ways."

Actors will begin arriving in Australia sometime in the summer (or winter in Australia). But stunt coordinator Nick Gillard has met briefly with both Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor in the United States, McCallum said. "Hayden is coming shortly to begin massive rehearsals, stunt rehearsals," he said. "We expect Ewan in the next four to five weeks. He's starting to work on all the fight sequences in the movie, which I think will be extraordinary.
