Here's what THE DAILY MIRROR in England has had to say about Robert Carlyle and Episode 2. No mention of character, though Tarkin would be cool. Anyway.... here's the report. (Consider this as a RUMOR till proven otherwise)
CARLYLE IS TIPPED FOR STAR WARS
STAR Wars bosses are lining up British actor Robert Carlyle for the next space film saga. The Phantom Menace only hit UK cinemas last week but plans are already ongoing for a money- spinning sequel. And Scots-born Carlyle is heavily tipped for the new cast. Movie maker George Lucas is said to be impressed by Carlyle's rapid rise to stardom. The quietly-spoken Full Monty actor has just completed work on the new James Bond film at Pinewood. He plays Renard the Fox, who plots to steal nuclear bombs in The World Is Not Enough. A production source revealed: "Robert says he fulfilled a dream by appearing in a Bond movie - now he is set to achieve yet another."
