Ok folks, if you don't like spoilers, just stay away from this page. I've got some, personally they wouldn't spoil milk for me, but for some it'd turn ketchup to vinegar, so turn around, hit back, get back, get back to where you once belonged. There are several reports below that talk about anything from characters to action scenes. RUN HOME FORREST!!! Ok, I'm going to do a countdown from 10, and at the bottom, if you are still here... Well you'll be reading stuff.

Ok I warned ya!!!
This first one came from a wiley spy by the name of Coyote! He tuned into his Acme telly and was waiting to watch a documentary on the construction of a molecular road runner destabilizer, when Prequel news came his way. Here it is...
Actor Adrian Dunbar (Bale Oberon) guested on the Jack Docherty Show on Channel 5 in the UK last night (15 Jan). Apparently he only has a few lines in the film ("not enough for a toy") and appears at a conference table with some green faced pigmen also in the scene.
Lucas has told him that Oberon will be "in the next one and the next one" and "goes off to fight in the clone wars".
Ahhhhhhhhh, the infamous conversation from two occupants of the Slaughtered Lamb. This noted Dart Thrower was having a pint or two or three, awwww hell it was a whole keg the he and his friend emptied. Now this is what I call.... RUMORS... that's right, not actually confirmed spy information, but rather... Just cool stuff!!
A friend's boyfriend and me were chatting down the pub recently. We were talking about the prequels and stuff when I heard :
-a rumour on the casting of Anikin Skywalker
-a that a familar setting WILL return.
The RUMOUR is that George Lucas wants to/has cast Kenneth Brannagh for the last two films.
But I can confirm that the CAnTINA BAR (COOL!) WILL appear in episode one. My friend visited this set and filming was not allowed to take place until he had left. Apparrently, it is very similar but more primative, obviously. But he saw one, and saw no filming.
AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! Not anymore damn Kenneth Branagh rumours!!!! The tension would be just too much for me. And how in Yoda's name is he supposed to look younger than Ewan? Huh? "That's not TRUE!!! That's IMPOSSIBLE!!!" (sorry) The thing I hate about rumors like this un, is that it gets hopes up for a great actor, but then a couple of blokes shooting the breeze in a pub talking shite about the Prequels, well tis an everyday occurance no?
Now for another 'friend of a friend, blah blah blah' sort of connection. However, this time out, I'm in the more... shall we say trusting side. This story sounds a bit more likely. So this spy will be called OSCAR the Grouch. Oscar has been hanging around those garbage can abusers (aka STOMP cast members) for a long time, hoping to exact revenge, and this is how he does it, by supplying us with the skinny.
I wrote before to tell you what a friend of a friend of an actor/dancer/musician from the touring company of STOMP told me. George saw the show in SF, then invited them up to the ranch to perform highlights of it. Afterward, he took the dancer aside and said, "I don't know if you've heard, but, I'm making some movies and you'd be perfect for a character..." It was an alien best friend of Ben who was supposed to die right away, angering Ben and setting him off to battle or to become a Jedi. But, they liked what they saw so much that they reshot the scene so he lives on into episode 2 and maybe 3. He is from the underwater planet, with a fish-like face and dreadlock fins that move around wildly to express emotion. This head is all CG and will be keyed-up to a collar he wears with regestration lights around it. I didn't completely believe the friend's story at first, but since it seems to jive with a lot of the information you've been printing
Another report from the Telly, this time by the Road Runner, who was trying to watch the show on the molecular destabilizer (for use on Road Runners) to find it's weakness for his neverending battle against the wiley Coyote. When much to his limited vocabulary shock, he saw info on the Prequel. He constructed a long report made up of various beep beeps, that I translated here for you today...
Irish actor and writer Adrian Dunbar (from Hear My Song) was just interviewed on the Jack Dougherty Show on Channel 5 here in the UK. He spoke briefly about a small part he has in the first prequel. Character name Bail Oberon, so he says!!? His scene involved sitting at some kind of conference/council meeting voting on something. All done infront of a blue screen with several other characters. Something about 3 aliens with blue pig-like heads was mentioned. Aparently the character may appear in the other prequels.
Nothing earth shattering, but I thought that you might like to know. Keep on spying!
NOW FOR SOME REAL COOL NEWS!!! Well some of you long timers will remember Nigel Bruce, one of my Main Men in London. This gallant gumshoe has been silent for quite some time, only to appear out of the shadows with a packet of news. I can tell you, that if he says it, it's so. This is to be believed. Not scoffed at, not ridiculed, but to be put down in the big book of reality. So put your hand to your arrow keys and scroll on down, Nigel Bruce is back in the game...
Nigel Bruce. Haven't contacted you for a while - sorry about that. I've been soaking up the buzz over here. My credentials have already been established - so no need to recap them here. I've heard plenty Prequel-wise - as well as some stuff about Saving Private Ryan - in the months we've been out of contact, but I'll try and relate some of it to you in small doses over the next fortnight or so. First up, I'm not going to reveal the background behind this item, or how it came to me, but just read it and savour...
Imagine a small room, with a TV set and a video recorder. Someone slips a tape, marked with a number and a series of letters - the words "Episode One" can be read. The first image to come up on the TV is a wireframe of a gigantic city. The camera moves through the city, past towering wireframe skyscrapers, before settling upon one building, an archaic, gothic tower. The camera moves in closer, closer still to an open section - perhaps a balcony or window. Then the image cuts and the scene is replayed again.
Next to appear, after a moment of blackness, is a shot of a sea and a dramatic cloudscape. The camera moves over the water in 360 degrees, though no land can be seen in any direction. More blackness. Then the water is there again, only this time the sky is full of movement. There are tiny dots in the sky, swarming like flies. Something shoots past the camera - it looks like some sort of aircraft, reminiscent of a Jules Verne design with a pointed nose, and a rounded rear. Only the aircraft must surely be a computer graphic image - it doesn't sit right within the frame, and it lacks colour or texture at this stage. A second craft shoots into view - it appears to be in pursuit of the first. This craft is less sleek and more mean-looking - it was designed for battle; a single-man fighter craft. Like the first craft this is clearly not a finished model. The camera cuts - the first aircraft is coming towards us, followed closely by the second. Then something hits the craft and it dips out of view. The camera cuts to a wider angle and we see the craft head for the water, obviously out of control, as the second ship gains altitude. And then the scene restarts, and is played in full once more, before the tape ends.
Make of that what you will, Harry.
ACK!!! Me wanna see, me wanna see, me wanna see, me wanna see, me wanna see, me wanna see, me wanna see!!!! Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool.... AGGGGGG!!! TWITCH TWITCH GEEKGASMS.........
