While pointing out this article about George Lucas’ cameo in Episode III, Quint of AICN also reveals a motherlode of new Ep. III images. Some of these are rather spoilerish, but you probably have a sense of where the story’s going anyway.

Jedis, Muggles, & Bats.
Coming Soon points the way to a number of 2005 tentpole pics, including this EW shot from Episode III, another from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and a smattering of new images from Batman Begins.
Whence the Evildoers?
War! The Republic is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Sith Lord, Count Dooku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere.” Lucasfilm reveals the Episode 3 title crawl. You know it’s sad times when the opening lines of a SW prequel display more nuance than the most recent inaugural address.
Ben vs. the Volcano.
Also in film news, the AICN boys obtain some very nice Episode III concept artwork of the big duel. Alas, between the idea and the reality falls the shadow, particularly with regard to the prequels.
X3, III, & 3 Pulls.
Lots of fanboy trilogy news at ComingSoon today…Famke Janssen talks about the likelihood of Dark Phoenix in X3, word of a likely Episode III cameo breaks, and New Line announces it’ll shoot Books 2 and 3 of His Dark Materials back-to-back should the first one prove a hit. “New Line says the ‘Materials’ trilogy would soar far beyond the $350 million the studio spent on ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy.” It’s good to see New Line continuing to make big gambles on fantasy adaptations, but still…it sounds a bit like the guy who doubles his money on black in Vegas, then goes ahead and throws it all back on the table. Ah well, our gain, I suppose.
Quit while you’re a head.
Also up today, some highly spoilerish Episode III images (and a very naughty ESB-era Chewbacca.) Hey, Zaphod, if you’re not using that second head, can Chris Lee borrow it? Update: Elsewhere in Star Wars news, The Force.Net gets their hands on the forthcoming Ep. III Vanity Fair cover, with everyone from Jar Jar to Billy Dee Williams featured.
There can be only one.
Some more highly spoilerific Episode III images appear online. Between this and the official release of the RotK:EE tomorrow, it appears Saruman is having a really lousy week…
Red Five Standing By.
Coming Soon gets its hands on another spoilerific bunch of Episode III info, including this shot at right of the battle that opens the film. Looks like eye candy, if nothing else.
Stay on Target.
Empires collide as the Dark Lord of the Sith shills for Target (with Heidi Klum). Given that Star Wars was memorialized on Burger King glasses over 25 years ago, it seems a little late to bemoan the saga’s commercialization. Still, this makes it even harder to imagine Episode III as anything but another disappointment.
Heir to the Empire.
In case you couldn’t find it for some reason last week, the Episode III trailer is now officially available. And, if you’re looking for more SW news, Lucasfilm has also released the first film image of General Grievous, a.k.a. the new and goofily named Big Bad that was supposed to be voiced by Gary Oldman.
