Well ROTS has hit Japan on the big screen at last.

This is some footage from the press conference with GL, HC, and IM. George answers some questions on the new TV series which I think pretty much confirms all we have heard to date.

Cheers for all the spoilers.

Aftraid I gave into temptation on that one!

The extra three months with all the spoilers out there and everyone discussing it...I just had to check out the movie for myself.

I still really want to see it on the big screen though. It's the best way to enjoy movies; especially these movies.

The Hyperspace making of clips and all the trailers have been shown over and over on Fox Japan so it's like reliving all the hype a second time. Surprised to find myself pretty pumped up again about it..... hmm...Must be the free lightsaber cell phone strap they are giving away at the door.

More photos and media here.

Scroll down to the bottom and select your choice of media.

The first is an interview with RM...unfortunately overdubbed with a loud Japanese translation - he does confirm again that the TV series will based in the 20 years between ROTS and ANH.

The next one is an extended (reedit) version of the material at the previous link.

The last one is the countdown to the movie in Japan. You can learn to count backwards in Japanese.

The whole thing will be on Japan Movie Plus several times over the next few weeks.

ty very much for the link.

btw, what is up with Georges neck? It looks like he swallowed an orange or something.

Lucas has Type II Diabetes.
