WARNING! Possible
EPISODE III SPOILER information is contained in this story!
So remember the news that the man inside the Wookiee suit, Peter Mayhew, would be reprising his character again in
EPISODE III? There's a tantalizing rumor over on
The Force.net that, if true, could drive some fans of the original
STAR WARS movies a little nuts.
The
Force.net scooper claims to have been a member of the audience for a Star Wars Weekend held at the MGM Studios in Orlando, FL. this past weekend. According to the scooper, actors Peter Mayhew and Jeremy Bullock (Boba Fett) were on hand and took questions from the audience. Apparently (and remember, this report remains unconfirmed) the interviewer prodded Mayhew to expand upon his role as Chewbacca in
EPISODE III, to which the actor gave the reply "Chewbacca rescues and delivers the two children to Ben Kenobi."
I did some checking to see if
Force.net scooper's story could be true.
It does look like Mayhew and Bullock were the two
STAR WARS cast members participating this past weekend at Orlando's Star Wars Weekend event. While that doesn't necessarily confirm that Mayhew said what he's alleged to have said, it does mean at least part of the scooper's story has checked out.
So did Ben Kenobi and Chewbacca really know each other before meeting in that dim cantina in
A NEW HOPE? Was Chewie instrumental in helping save Luke and Leia from their father? Find out in 2005 when George Lucas brings us
EPISODE III: DAYS OF OUR LIVES.
