USA Today has posted a report from the 16th annual Palm Springs Film Festival, which took place Saturday night. At the event, Liam Neeson and Samuel L. Jackson both revealed a spoiler about Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith:

Star Wars alums Neeson and Jackson both offered hints that George Lucas has shot a top-secret cameo of Neeson as Qui-Gon Jinn's ghost, à la Alec Guinness, for May's Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. "I can't speak about it," Neeson joked. "Jedi code of ethics."

The Scoop on the New Clone Wars Cartoon
It's a segue to Revenge of the Sith.

January 07, 2005 - With a new season of Clone Wars short cartoons coming up, there's a whole lot to look forward to – especially now that episodes are being lengthened from three to twelve minutes.

In the first part of an interview with Now Playing Magazine, series animator Genndy Tartakovsky shares some details on the new Clone Wars run and how it ties into Revenge of the Sith.

"Basically, if you cut out the scroll [from the beginning of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith], it would be completely seamless where we end and the movie starts," said Tartakovsky. "I met with George and he told me he wanted to do a story where it ties in exactly to the beginning of Episode III, and that got me excited because it seemed like it's really part of the mythology, and it's coming from George himself – that he respected [Clone Wars] so much that he wanted us to tell the story of the scroll from Episode III."

The new batch of episodes, like the original run, will total 60 minutes; but this time, it will take the format of five 12-minute chapters. Tartakovsky says the longer running time of each segment will allow him to tell the store in more depth. "It's very rewarding because you want to kind of dive into the characters and do some acting and do some interactions between the characters and see what you can do." The new Clone Wars series will begin airing on the Cartoon Network on March 26th, a few weeks before Revenge of the Sith is released.

Dark Horse Comics has announced its plans for its adaptation of Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith.

Here's how Dark Horse describes the book:

"Based on the screenplay by George Lucas‹the official comics adaptation of the most anticipated of the Star Wars films! The action of the Clone Wars comes to a dramatic conclusion, and events are put in place for A New Hope.

"Battles rage in space, armies clash on alien worlds, heroes become martyrs, and friends become enemies‹and the galaxy is forever changed!

"Shipping weekly, this four-issue series features art by Doug Wheatley (Star Wars: Empire volume 2‹Darklighter) -- who brings a level of life and detail to the adaptation that rivals that of the films themselves -- with covers by Dave Dorman!"

Each issue will cost $2.99.

Okay, I'll sound like a complete jerk now but when's the movie coming out? I'm really excited about it.. Ever since I saw episode 1 I've been waiting for this one. Didn't care about episode 2 cause I new that it's episode 3 where "Darth Vader" is born... He's cool..

"It will be a day long remembered...."

This one seriously has the makings of being the best of the saga.

People have often associated Empire as the best. Seeing as how the good guys in that one get their asses handed to them, the same will be said for Revenge of the Sith. This time in a VERY convincing fashion.

Oh and one word..."VADER".

[FH]

Ahh, VV! I was hoping to interest you in this thread again. I'm trying to stay positive on this one!

Star Wars kicks moocho ass! When me and my friend are out making deliveries at work, we contact each other on walkie talkies as rogue one and rogue two...the store of course is echo base. Hey, it makes the night go by quicker..

This movie will prolly be the best of the new trilogy. At least it looks like it will be.

-huge space battle that will make the one in Jedi look like child's play.
-Bad-ass Anakin starts to turn to the darkside
-Anakin vs Dooku II
-Palpatine reveals himself as Darth Sidious and ultimately forms the Empire and becomes Emperor.
-Anakin vs Mace
-General Grevous
-Yoda vs Sidious/Palpatine (H--O--L--Y-----S--H--I--T--!!)
-Chewbacca's first appearance since Jedi.
-Wookies kicking ass.
-Obi-Wan vs General Grevous
-Anakin vs Obi-Wan (The duel we've all been waiting for --- and how Padme fits into it).
-Padme's fate; birth of Luke and Leia.
-BIRTH OF DARTH VADER.
