* Palpatine will be in a high society THEATRE.

* We see the building before we enter it. It is in the upper strata of the "entertainment district."

* "The exterior of the building, again in rough animatic form, has an immense spot lit globe that presumably contains the auditorium. With a laser pointer, George points out possible places for limo traffic and droid valets to congregate, though the scale is such that they're just a few pixels high."

* We then enter the foyer of the building where there are dozens of elite Coruscant citizens.

* Inside Palpatine's box, there's MAS AMEDDA, SLY MOORE, and a pair of ROYAL GUARDS, plus another face and a CGI ALIEN behind.

* There will be music in the theme of the CANTINA BAND, DEX'S DINER and TATOOINE music from TPM.

* There is important dialogue in this scene.

* There will be a zero gravity ALIEN on stage. It is an exclusive viewing box.

"plus another face "= Anakin.

where is this from?

Pretty cool stuff. It seems ridiculous that they have to finish something like 30 shots a week for the next year plus to get it done on time. Those ILM guys must be gooood.

cheers! shoulda checked myself but laziness intervened.
