War for Episode II 02 Nov, 2000 / Comments: 7
Brian Blessed, the famous English actor whose credits include BlackAdder to Richard III, accidently let slip to a eager Star Wars fan that his character from Episode I, Boss Nass, will be returning to Episode II and that his character will have the first line of the movie.
He also said that he will start the film with the word "War" which is ironic considering Episode I finished with Boss Nass getting the last scripted word of "Peace".
Also revealing one of his lines from the film recentley was Temuera Morrison. Morrison, who will play Jango Fett- the father of Boba Fett who will become the genetic template for the Stormtrooper clones in Episode II, told the Melborne magazine "Green Guide" that he will say the line "I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe.". We also mentioned that he will have a space combat scene with Obi-Wan through an asteroid field.
All very interesting stuff!
