STAR WARS: EPISODE II
- WORLD EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK!
It goes without saying that the most anticipated movie prequel-cum-sequel, incorporating a metaphysical philosophy, on the horizon is George Lucas's Star Wars: Episode II. Shooting of the follow-up to The Phantom Menace is due to begin any day at Fox Studios in Australia, but LucasFilm's art department has been hard at work for months developing the look of the new movie - rumoured to centre around the long hinted-at Clone Wars.
Now, for the first time anywhere on the Internet, Bubblegun can bring you an EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK at Star Wars Episode II. Our spies have been busy infiltrating the production, and one has managed to get his hands on some of the pre-production artwork put together by Doug Chiang's Star Wars art department. Here we present a selection of the sketches, along with a commentary from our ultra-secret man-on-the-inside, whom we shall only refer to as "Dave Ross".

SKETCH
#1
 "This
is a concept sketch for the new look of Yoda, the
Jedi Master, who is going to be instrumental in
the coolest events of Star Wars Episode II. I've
heard that Yoda's going to be involved in a big
battle scene, and this sketch for an experimental
Jedi battle suit designed to be worn by the little
Yoda person just proves that this rumoured
information is not erroneous!!! I can say no
more?!!!!!!!?!! I can't wait to see that little
green guy kick butt in the forthcoming Star Wars
Episode II!!!!!!"

SKETCH
#2
 "Of
course there's going to be a new Dark Jedi - or
Sith, a wielder of the Dark Side Of The Force - in
the forthcoming Star Wars Episode II, and here's a
look at the Dark Sith himself - Darth Horris. As
you can see from the sketch, LucasFilm's designers
have delved into the deepest corners of their
warped psyche to create the evil stuff of real bad
nightmares. Handwritten notes on the sketch show
that Horris uses a 'Super Sabre Of Death' -
obviously a new type of lightsabre we have
previously not seen ever before at all. Also, he
has 'more fingers', and a 'cool space belt', with
the word 'space' on it. We can only ponder the
meaning of the big letter F on his horrible
face!!!!???!!!!"

SKETCH
#3
 "I'm
told that there'll be a new Jedi Master in Star
Wars Episode II, who'll pick up where the late
Qui-Gonn Jinn, who was killed by Darth Maul in
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, left off.
And here he is: Stu Garvey. I've no idea who
they've picked to play Stu Garvey (though I'm
betting it's someone cool like Christopher Walken
or Peter Fonda), but if you look at the design
sketch, you can see that they've cheekily made him
resemble none other than George Lucas
himself!!!!!! Crazy Easter eggs
already!!???!!!!!?!!!"

SKETCH
#5
 "And
here's that wicked bounty hunter-cum-Mandalorian
warrior himself. As you can see, Boba Fett will
look a bit different in the forthcoming Star Wars
Episode II to what we know him to look like from
later films in the Star Wars chronology, such as
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Star
Wars Episode VI: The Return Of The Jedi, and to a
lesser extent Star Wars Episode V: A New Hope
Special Edition in which George just stuck him
into a scene using advanced Computer Techniques in
order to keep the fans happy. I was happy??!!!!!!
I'm guessing that in this sketch old Boba is
wearing some kind of high tech battle suit!!!!!
Check out those things on his head - I betcha
they're energy conductors!!!!?!!"

SKETCH
#6
 "I've
no idea who Rasky And The Snood are, but a little
bird tells me they're new versions of two very
familiar characters. Such as? Such as R2-D2 and
C3-PO, the loveable droids (robots), of
course!?!!!! Apparently, at some point in the
movie, the crazy droid duo disguise themselves as
a pair of alien comedians - Rasky And The
Snood!!!! - in order to break into some kind of
base, or perhaps an evil Jedi cloning
facility!!!?!!! Way coooooll!!!!!!!

Keep it under
your hat where you got these sketches from, or my
job could be on the line, and my head will roll,
thus gathering no moss!!?!! This is Super Jedi
Padawan Dave Ross, aka 'Cyber Vader', signing out
for now!!!!!?! May the Force be with
you!!!!!!!??!!!!!"
