SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
I was sent in this report by Potzer, an ol friend of ours from New Jersey that writes in from time to time. Anyway he tells the tale of being at the right place at the right time to hear about rumors of what may well be. Of course as we all know, everything concerning the Prequels is highly creative and prone to flights of fancy, so stay tuned to see if this is true in the future. However, there is a mention of a party, drugs, alcohol, and second and third hand knowledge. SO... take it lightly. Chances are... well some is true, and some is creative. Sure would like to hear of Nathan's adventures
I was at a New Years' Party in L.A. when who should walk in but my acquaintance, a close friend of Nathan Hamill. That's right a friend of Mark Hamill's teenaged son, who eerily looks just like him and is a complete and total Star Wars obsessive fanatic. Anyhoo, he was quite spacey from the bit of Ecstasy he had imbibed that night, and, seeing an opening in his weakened state, I grilled him for prequel news, surely he has listened to his bud talk. Here is what he told me: He had talked to Nathan, who told him of his visit to the huge warehouse/parking lot/structure where all the interior sets are located, and man oh man are they working hard in there. He said they have armies of artists detailing every surface to give it all that aged, battered classic Star Wars look. Nathan himself got to have a cameo as a Corellian spy being led away by Power Droids. He described to me some dailies that Nathan claimed to have seen that had a huge light- saber fight which was incredible, and Liam Neeson with crazy long hair and maybe a beard, I can't remember exactly, for I by that time was rather smashed as well, but he seemed to remember Nathan describing Liam's wild, long hair as being streaked white and sort of giving him an Obi-Wan-ish appearance -- sounds weird. He also said that Nathan described a huge underwater sequence, which brought me to inquire about the budget. He claims that it's only 60-80 million dollars -- but that Lucas is doing more with the money than any other director in history. Then, he laid a bombshell on me, which even I'm not sure I believe. He claims that one event in the movie is Anakin Skywalker building C3P0, and we get to see prototype C3P0's and whatnot, something about C3P0 having a see-through body... Crazy. Let's see, did he mention anything else... Basically just that Ewen MacGregor is awesome. I think that's it. Hope this floated your boat. Cheers.
