Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...
Oh, boy. Either Peter Mayhew just spilled the beans, or he’s pulling someone’s leg pretty hardcore. I got this letter earlier this evening:
TheForce.net has quoted Peter Mayhew as saying, "Chewbacca rescues and delivers the two children to Ben Kenobi." I just figured you'd like to know if you don't already.

*P.S. Ignore the bastards bashing you for giving your opinion. Keep up the good work! :)
May the Force be with you!

Thanks, man. It’s a fascinating crumb of information if it’s accurate. I think I sort of like the idea of Chewie rescuing the twin babies, then having to survive a pretty hairy (pun fully intended) situation in order to get them to safety. I complained in the recent Jedi Council article that I was worried about the idea of Chewie being comic relief, and that’s not what this sounds like. Not at all.
This next letter just arrived, as I was about to post the story, and contained more info about EPISODE III that I thought I’d throw on as well:
Harry, after all the shit that's been thrown around about downloading movies etc. I thought it might be nice to get back to some movie news.......regarding EPISODE III.
As you are probably aware, the bearded-one has tried to fill his wallet a bit more by charging fans to get info on the new film through a subscription service called Hyperspace. In a chat with Hyperspace members tonight, producer Rick McCallum gave out some little snippets of info...... spoiler ahoy !
Episode III will be PG - This is what is best for the franchise no doubt.
Running Time: 2 Hours - The final cut of the film should clock in around 2 hours which means there's about a 110 page script.
Episode III definitely has the most lightsaber action of any Star Wars film - There's a lot to do and we figure the saber will figure prominently into the final sequences.
SW3 takes place 3 years or so after Ep II - Hayden Christiansen said recently it would be much more than that, but Rick McCallum corrected him and gave the time scale for the film, noting also that everything is bigger this time, including the battle scenes.
Space Battle Beginning - An epic space battle to begin the film. We know it is the end of the Clone Wars about this time period, so expect it to be the definitive moment of the war.
If you use this, please call me The Dirty Turkey that had a beer and cheeted on Hulk Hogan's werewolf with a sexy tomboy beanpole.
Peace out
So what do you guys think? Can McCallum be trusted? Did Mayhew just talk himself out of the movie? Can you ever really have too many lightsabers in a film? I guess only time will tell...
"Moriarty" out.
