Something intesting that I found on Star Wars dot com. .. . "As Episode III bridges the prequel era with that of the original trilogy, many of the characters and situations will begin to resemble or tie in with those found in Episodes IV, V, and VI. A character that played a relatively small but important part in Return of the Jedi will return in a younger incarnation as actor Genevieve O'Reilly plays Mon Mothma in the next Star Wars movie. O'Reilly has performed such stage roles as Ruth in Cosi, Veronica in The Ugly Man and Olivia in Twelfth Night. On television, she has appeared on "Beastmaster," "Life" and "All Saints." Her film credits include Avatar, and most recently, she played Officer Wirtz in The Matrix: Reloaded.
In Episode VI, Mon Mothma, played by Caroline Blakiston, appears during the Rebel Alliance briefing prior to the attack on the second Death Star. She is the leader of the Rebellion, and expanded universe publications explain that Mon Mothma was once an idealistic young Senator during the fall of the Republic -- the era in which Episode III is set.

Here is a spoiler sypnosis I found, which hopefully means we are going to get some 'Vader Time' im episode III:
Two years after Attack of the Clones, Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala are married, The Republic is at war with Count Dooku's Confederacy of Independent Systems, and Darth Sidious is preparing to make the final move that will ensure him control of the galaxy. With it's nearly endless supply of clone soldiers, the Republic is gaining ground against the Confederacy. Determined to avoid defeat, Dooku places a bounty on the Jedi Knights, who have already come under fire from the Republic itself. When Anakin turns to the Dark Side of the Force and joins the genocidal purge, Obi-Wan Kenobi must fight to protect Padme and her children as he heads toward a tragic showdown with his former pupil.

For years I have wondered if we were going to see Vader, and it looks like we would, then I wondered how much of Vader we will get to see, and perhaps we'll get to see a good bit of him, or perhaps not.
What do you guys think?

I think we will see enough of him to see him get his life support suit and shortly after that....but nothing major... That's what I'm afraid of, and I think that will be the wrong move. To tease show him, for like 5 minutes, or standing on the bridge of a Star Destroyer would be ok, if there was going to be an Episode IIIĀ½, as it's ok to tease the audience if there is going to be a sequel, like they did in episode II with his music, but to do it when we've all already seen Episode IV? So many people, so many millions are dying to see the return of Darth Vader, and since this is the last Star Wars movie ever, probably, they should finally give the fans what they want. I still say this needs to be a 3 hour long movie, the first 2 with Anikin, and the last hour with Vader. Besides that, there is soooo much stuff they need to add between episodes II and IV.

Yeah, this movie is going to have to be at the very least, 3 hours long to satisfy everyone's expectations. Personally, I wish it were 4 hours long. I'd sit there the entire time. As long as I got to see Vader, it would be all worth it.
They should do a double feature thing when it comes out. I think they will definately tease us with some Vader action, but after that it's like, "Well, guess I have to go home and watch Episode 4 now." The audiences will be so hyped from seeing Vader that I think they should re-release "A New Hope" and show it immediately following Episode 3. A double feature would be awesome!
I remember when they re-released the original trilogy. There were people coming in the theatre with light sabres. A good friend of mine even dressed up as Vader and went to the movie in full costume! It was an awesome event......
Ahhh....the good old days!

Yes, that's a GREAT IDEA, I'd definatly stay and watch Episode IV if they did that. I too remember when they re-released the trilogy, and had extra scenes like Han Solo talking to Jabba in Episode IV, those were great! It's hard to believe those movies are so popular that they can be re-released in the theatres over a decade later, and do well, the over 20's later 3 prequels can be released that does so well. That right there says something about the awesomness of Star Wars.
And I still think Episode III should be 4 hours long like you Speed, to include the mass of stuff that happens between where we left on with Anikin and Padme in AOTC, and ANH.

I'm getting a little off topic here, but I just had to ask, have you guys and gals ever seen the unaltered footage of Han's conversation with Jabba in "A New Hope?" Y'know, the one that was put in the movie for the original trilogy's re-release?
In the original unaltered footage, Jabba was a HUMAN! He was a older, stocky, balding dude. They superimposed the digital Jabba over the human one for the re-release. That's why I thought it was so funny when Han walked around Jabba in close proximity. They had to put in Han stepping on Jabba's tail to make the scene feasible.

lol yeah.. we have the directors cut of that oen and it shows the making of it ,..lol that was a funny scene. ... but when they orriginally started filming the movie they had to do it that way .. half way through filmming the ' breajthrough' of the new spec effect technique came out and they ran over it ..lol. ... the look on Jabba's face when Han steped on his tail was priceless..lol.. its one of those filiming flukes that make movies even better..lol.
