Here is a summary of what Pablo Hidalgo answered on Jan 29ths update to the Hyperspace Q&A:
• Webdocs will continue on starwars.com till just beyond the release of Episode III, and more exclusive videos are said to be released in April and May that are not part of the series.
• Obi-Wan knows of Anakin and Padme's relationship in Episode III.
• There is a possibility that the digital version of Episode III may be different than the 35mm version, as the digital version has more time allowed for editing.
• There will be absolutely no new teasers or trailers until March.
• LFL isn't upset about the pictures and information being leaked, as it is to be expected. However, it is not planned as some people think.
• Don't expect every new planet to be associated with a Separatist faction, like Felucia is the Commerce Guild homeworld and Cato Neimoidia is the homeworld of the Trade Federation.
• Bai Ling's character will barely get any screen time. So don't blink during the movie if you want to see her.
• Despite reports, the Episode III trailer to be included on the Clone Wars DVD on March 22 is the teaser trailer that was already released back in November 2004.
• Any content in Episode III resembling the Droid Hell concept art featured in the Hyperspace Art of Revenge series has been cut out.
• Episode III features 12 planets. However, 4 of them are quick references like in the Clone Wars microseries on Cartoon Network. Conclusively, the remaining 8 planets feature the main action of the film.
• Dialogue between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Cody about their campaign on Cato Neimoidia, which inspired the opening scenes Labyrinth of Evil, was cut out from the Episode III script after James Luceno finished the book.
• The reason Episode III has less trailers than Episode II is because of George Lucas. George has to approve trailer submissions by the trailer editor, who back when making the Episode II trailers made 3 different teasers that featured different elements of the storyline. For Episode III, the teaser submissions each posed similar elements, so therefore George only picked one.
• Back when asked who Sifo-Dyas was, Pablo originally said that the person who ordered the clones was seen in AOTC. However, now that Labyrinth of Evil has confirmed that is not the case, Pablo has withdrawn his earlier statement because when he first answered it, plans were that Dooku was behind it all.
• Don't worry about midichlorians in Episode III.
• For those wondering if General Grievous normally slouches, as he's protrayed in the 2 shots seen on starwars.com, don't worry. He crouches when he walks and lets his cape create a dramatic effect. When he stands up, it's ouch time.
• Anakin will not use Force lightning in Episode III and Pablo points to the latest Star Wars Insider as to why.
Sifo-Dyas and the last point were most baffling for me.
