    I was thinking about something...

    You have the planet Mustafar. How do you pronounce it?

    I was thinking it to be "MOO-stuh-fahr".

    Now look at this. Hayden Vader burns to a crisp at Mustafar to return as James Earl Jones Vader, correct?
    What other character is JEJ famous for?
    *hint hint*
    [image=http://www.wf.net/~mufasa/mufasa1.jpg]
    Mufasa -> Mustafar

    Also, note the last words of Obi-Wan to Vader--Vader pleads for help, but Obi-Wan refuses: "You were my brother. I loved you, but I could not save you."

    Compare to the last words of Mufasa in TLK: "Scar, help me. Brother, help me." And Scar refuses to help him.




    Now with Felucia...anyone else thinking "Fah-LOO-sha"?
    Something like Fallujah, perhaps?

    Not necessarily--they are making a movie about the Battle of Fallujah...and it will be starring Harrison Ford.

    So it could be political commentary, but it could also be a shout-out.

    Something tells me that that's not what was going through George's mind when he came up with the name...

    Well, Felucia will be the place where Aayla and Barriss make one last stand before they go down....

    We could make the presumption that George was being a RASTAfari when he came up with these names.

    The official reason that GL named the planet that Anakin met his lava and hot sand fate is this: He got the name from the rumor that Yoda Mustafar





















    .......ted in the movie according to what certain fans thought 8-} [face_laugh]

    Maybe, I don't really know what happens on Felucia, and I'm 99% sure it'll get cut.


    EDIT: Not necessarily--they are making a movie about the Battle of Fallujah...and it will be starring Harrison Ford.

    Are you serious? This could be really cool if done right. But since Ford is doing it and no doubt a controversial director will, it will probably full of anti-war stuff with the only people who support th emission being ignorant, violent young kids. ::rollseyes:: I really hope they make a good, powerful war movie out of it.

    You're 100% wrong...since we see Felucia in the full trailer, a BTH pic on the Official Site and some of the ROTS books. It's that planet with the giant plants and where Aayla Secura gets cut down by clormtroopers. ;)

    I don't remember seeing any plant world...

    Well, I wish they'd cut it. Instead arent they trimming down Kashyyyk? I'd rather have one decent length (and therefore able to show the buildup and events in dramatic form) than two insanely short (and therefore not very powerful, since you don't know why they're fighting, and you don't get a decent conclusion) battles.

    Guess I'd rather see more of a main cahracter fighting than a background Jedi ultra-important demise. ::rollseyes::

    But hey, if they don't cut Kashyyyk, then I'm cool with the Felucia scenes.

    Felucia is shown during the Jedi Purge montage. And Kashyyyk is only there to explain why Yoda is off-planet during Anakin's slaughter

    Yes, you see that main character taking on Sidious at the climax of the movie. I thought you knew your spoilers. :p

    Conspiracy Theorists Thoughts: OMG!! LUCAS IS TOTALLY COMMENTING ON THE WAR IN IRAQ!! [i/]

    Yes it is incredible to think an intelligent artful film maker has any opinions on anything happening in the real world! Lucas has no opinion whatsoever on current events and Star Wars reflects this!

    Moron!
