is you have ever read a spoiler read this...

does anybody remember back when phantom menace came out, how much of the spoilers were true? Are there any RotS spoilers that you think may not be true?

Strilo edit: We don't discuss ROTS spoilers in this forum. Try the 3SA forum.

 

This would be more at home in the rots spoiler forum.
