here ya go...

Harry here with an update. The Sebulba character is not a Hutt, but rather a spidery type character. He is the number one opposition in the pod race to Anakin. Think of him as a bit of an alien Messala, does dirty tricks, etc. As for the rest of the following scoop (ie.. the face mapping, we'll just have to wait and see how it turns out.) JUST ADDED--- Sebulba has no power in Episode One, he is merely a racer, an alien being that races pods and is a s.o.b. That's it. There is no question as to his placement. We first meet the character when Jar Jar tries to munch a bit of a frog-like thing that he hasn't paid for.

As for the removal of certain posts in the TALK BACK section. First off, I know Roland DeNoie and he's been my best friend since the age of about 5, he asked me to remove all fake posts using his name. As for the other posts, they are by a guy that spreads lies. I do not 'create' or 'enhance' stories I get. The below was printed verbatim. And I did a follow up when I woke up this afternoon. As for traffic on the site, it continues to grow, thus the increase in advertisers (if ya haven't noticed)

This doesn't really need an introduction, it speaks for itself.

Got some Star Wars info here I thought you & your fans might appreciate.

In one of todays daily papers, The Scottish Sun, there is an article about a Scottish TV actor that no one outside Scotland will have heard of, Lewis MacLeod.

He plays a scary alien in the new trilogy, in the interview he says the following:

"I appear as a loathsome, ugly character that everybody hates, originally I was just called in to do the voice of this new alien character, but while I was at Leavensdown Studio in London, Lucas said he wanted to use my face. I thought he had another role in mind and had images of swinging a light saber above my head. But then he told me he wanted to turn my mug into a huge, ugly alien."

"So I play a new character called Sebulba, who is a clone of the vile gangster Jabba The Hut. Sebulba is completely computer generated, but they made him look exactly like me. He's big and he elongates into different shapes. He's a likkable baddie, but still a baddie."

"My face was filmed at all angles with digital vidio cameras. They capture my mannerisms which the animators used to make the alien. So the thing moves it's eyebrows the same way I do and has the same expressions."

Lewis is quite a famous mimic up here in sunny Scotland and when he went to the auditions he did Darth Vader, Yoda, Jabba The Hut and anyone else he could think of for five minutes, when he finished Lucas looked at him and said 'you're the most bizarre man I have ever met'

He also said, "filming was great because I got to work closely with Lucas, he was excellent as he knows exactly what he wants. The security was incredible though, after I had filmed a scene a security guard was on hand to deliver the reels."

Roadkill Russell, the meanest Scotsman alive
