NO Tarkin No Mon Mothma!

[GNT]

While I was on the official website I came across the following in the "Ask the Lucasfilm Jedi Council" and was answered by Rick McCallum and can be found here

Q. Will there be any appearances in Episode III by classic trilogy characters like Chewbacca or Tarkin or Mon Mothma?

A. No, I don't think we'll see any beyond the characters in Episode II, like Artoo and Threepio.

Sorry if this has been talked about before (This section isnt one I normally come too).No Mon Mothma no Tarkin?,Whats going on? Of all the people THEY should be in the film!

Thoughts?

Well, in this case it's not Lucas saying it, it's Rick McCallum. And we all know how wise Ricky is, N'Sync...nuff said. So there is always a chance. After all, I am sure if you would have asked the official Star Wars website, or Lucas 3 years ago if Boba Fett would be in Episode II. I bet you would have gotten the same beat around the bush "No I don't think so" answer that asking about Tarkin and Mon Mothma got.

If there is one thing I've learned from what has happened to Star Trek and alot of the stuff that is happening with E2.... Never trust a Rick in the sci-fi business.

The general concensus in the "Mace's Death" thread is that Mothma and Tarkin wouldn't be integral to the plot (you could have them in/you could NOT have them in) but it would still make for a nice little visual connection to the OT to see a young Senator Mothma on the senate floor talking to Padme. Or a young Tarkin. So I think you might SEE them in the third episode, but they will have little, if any, dialogue.

Plus, I agree. It IS RickMc. What does he know?

He knows . . . the title of Episode II will reflect the changes and feelings that Anakin is going through.

He knows . . . Anakin's pod engines play the most important role in Episode I

He knows . . . it's all about the story

He doesn't know . . . how many pieces constitute Liam's wig.

Well, we know that he has a firm grasp of the "F" word from the hour long DVD feature on the E1 DVD. Can you imagine how often he must say it a day. Since it occurs what, 7 times in an hour long documentary culled from 600+ hours of footage. The man seriously needs his mouth washed out with soap. Put that on the E2 DVD George, please.

ROFL! That was so cheesey sounding in the documentary, Ricky apperantly thinks he's some young cool hip teenager, I wonder how many times Ewan McGregor was rolling his eyes whenever he talked to Rick McCallum on the phone.
