I'm guilty...

[color=darkred]of checking out the latest on Episode III at theforce.net, a site I usually avoid. However, I couldn't resist temptation just once. I came across this little gem:

Quote:

Breakfast TV show GMTV was at the Empire Film Awards and was able to snatch a few words from Christopher Lee after the show. He was asked: "...and you're going to be in Australia this summer filming the new Star Wars...". After admitting that he was, Lee was ambushed with "...can you tell anything about it?". With a smirk, Lee replied: "No, because I haven't even seen a script yet". The presenter badgered, to which Lee added: "...and even if I HAD read the script, I COULDN'T tell you anything"!

WOOHOO! Right from his own mouth! Mr. Lee is going to Oz to film Ep. III! And all the peasants rejoiced! (well, okay, all the Christopher Lee/StarWars/Count Dooku fans rejoiced! You get the idea...

:devil:

I downloaded a little thing from Empire's website where he said the same thing! :) I'd rather not know anything to be honest - I hate spoilers.

I know what you mean... I have to admit, I was mostly concerned because all involved were so cagey about whether or not Mr. Lee was actually confirmed for Ep. III. Now, logically, if you consider the story line, and how Mr. Lucas normally thinks, I cannot see him dropping a character into the storyline out of the clear blue sky, then having him (Dooku) disappear for no reason, or for something that isn't show onscreen. Count Dooku appears to be way too much of a major player in how Darth Sidious re-establishes the Sith to just fade away like that, and it certainly wouldn't be a satisfying end to the character. Couple that with how Anakin's story has developed, as well as Obi-Wan's, well, I at least would anticipate one, if not BOTH of them meeting the cantankerous Count again! :deathstar

Anyhow, once I found out Mr. Lee had put out the word himself that he would return to Oz this summer for filming of Ep. III, that was info worth reading about! :amidala:

As for spoilers: :hmh:
I never believe anything unless Mr. Lucas and co. publish it on starwars.com. I mean, who are these other people? Are they Mr. Lucas' best friends, or his girlfriend? :hmph:
Are they there when he talks in his sleep or something? :laughing:

I think most of the stuff is idle speculation that people make up so other unsuspecting folks will go read their websites, nothing more. It makes for interesting reading, but I'd rather write my own fanfiction. I read it more for fun than than anything else.
Some things ARE more believable than others, but I am a bit like Darth Vader on this subject:
"The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am..." *choke, choke..wheeeeeeeze*

I guess I'm guilty of loving spoilers. I don't know anyone in my groups of friends who really likes them at all, but I just love to hear them. I like to hear what others think might happen. It just seems to get my imagination going and then the creative process begins.

I don't give a hoot if anything I've heard is like the movie or not, I think it's just fun to see how other people's minds work in conjunction with something that I too love. Maybe I'm just weird that way...wouldn't be the first time :D

I myself love spoilers now i don't really know much about star wars as much as some of you may know. buy i'm a fan of Joss whedon shows i know it has nothing to do with C. lee but my point in all this is i watch for upcoming spoilers for his shows all the time since i know the characters better than i do star wars.
