EPISODE TWO

Production Staff & Crew (known at present)

Here's what we do know:

• "Episode II" will be set a few years (possibly 10) after "Episode I".
• Anakin will be fighting alongside Obi-Wan in the film and will still be a heroic figure, however, things will start to turn for the worse in this installment.
• Anakin will "fall in love" in this film, presumably with "the Queen".
• Lucas has said that the finale of "Episode II" will be a cliffhanger type, much like that of "The Empire Strikes Back".
• Coruscant will presumably still be a main setting in the film.
• Lucas has recently officially said "be sure to tell them [the fans] that Boba Fett's in it!"

• It is not believed that pre-production has already started for this film, although it is quite likely. Principal Photography will not likey begin until mid to late 1999, also at Leavesdon Studios and various locations. It will not be filmed simultaneously with "Episode I", but rather have a production of it's own with a different Director.
• According to Lucas, this film may very likely be the first-ever completely digital film.This does not mean that the effects and environments will all be CG! He means that he hopes to have the new digital video and post-production technologies developed in time for the last two prequel films
• Post-production will be extensive and will last at least a year, likely even during principal photography.
• The tentative release date is still May 2001.
