The Return of Chewbacca

BrunoC writes "It's official! Peter Mayhew is going to play everyone's favorite wookie once again: Chewbacca is returning in Episode III, currently in pre-production phase. Peter says (quoted from StarWars.com) "I'm delighted to return as Chewbacca, I think his re-appearance in this film is a fitting way to tie the whole saga together, especially for Wookiee fans." Woa! Just for the records: Artoo and C-3PO will be there too! You can read the official annoucement here, at StarWars.com."

Just because you can't see the true genius of George Lucas doesn't mean something sucks. I will bet these movies will go down in history as the 21st century Beowulf or Hamlet.

Prequels Vs LotR

It's interesting that loads of people are having a go at Lucas for producing the first three films of his six part "Life and Death of Darth Vader" as a more-or-less continuous story split into three parts. Sure, they don't hold up as individual films but then neither do Jackson's LotRs films. Neither director has to work to the standard template, in Lucas' case because of the reputation his first three films in the series had, and in Jackson's because of the reputation the source material had.

In the end, though, Lucas has made a mess of his own idea by indulging himself too much, while Jackson has made a mess of someone else's idea. At least Lucas tried, but I think he left it too long between the two sets of films and the ideas went stale in his head.
