nice little tidbit on the rohan nichol character from the corporate wankstains SW bashers over on AICN (i did used to like them!) and a line of dialogue which probably reads as:

"WERE YOU MET WITH ANY RESISTANCE"

"YES SIR... WE WERE MET WITH SOME RESISTANCE"

A Quick Tidbit About EPISODE III And A Certain Young Captain...

Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...
I’ve seen a lot of speculation on the net that the “young captain” we’ve heard mentioned who will be showing up in EPISODE III was going to be Han Solo. I really hated that idea. Made the universe feel even smaller. But the following anecdote suggests that it’s someone else entirely, and it actually sounds like a lot of fun. Besides which, if this story is true, it suggests a playfulness that I think fans don’t always give Lucas credit for.
This is unsubstantiated, keep in mind, but it’s really entertaining, so check it out:

Small bit on "A young captain" from Revenge of the Sith (from Sydney Australia)

The guy's name is Rohan Nicols. He's voiced a character in an pilot indie animation-comedy called "Big Space" about a bunch of Australians lost in space. You can check out his Bio right here.

The 'young captain' in question is Captain Antilles, and I heard a a great story from the set about his first day of shooting.

Apparently, he cut himself shaving right before he was due to shoot. No one in makeup could stop it bleeding - big cut! Then he gets his call to get into a buggy and onto the other side of the set where George is waiting for him. Guy's waiting all his life to be in Star Wars, right? And now he's bleeding to death from the chin. All over his Captains Uniform.

He says to George... "Hi...here I am...but I cut myself pretty bad...so...what do you want me to do?"

Prolly expecting to be replaced, he waits while George looks him over. Finally GL says...

"Here's what we'll do. Get back to make up. I want cuts just like that one, but all over your face. What was your line?..

[THE LINE WAS DID YOU MET WITH ANY RESISTANCE / NO SIR, WE MET WITH NO RESISTANCE]

"OK, now your line is: YES SIR...WE MET WITH SOME RESISTANCE"

Now this may be the most creative decision I have heard from GL in the entire making of these prequals! ;p

Anyway, apparently there's going to be an action figure with Rohan's character with shaving cuts all over his face.

That's a story worth having kids for just so you can tell them one day when you’re older...

That's it

And for those of you who want to enjoy some serious spoiler action, check out the scoop that Rebelscum.com landed today, a complete checklist of all the EPISODE III trading cards that pretty much lays the entire movie out.

I can’t believe how close we are to May. Hurryhurryhurryhurryhurryhurry...

"Moriarty" out.

we've know rohan plays Capt Antilles for awhile now, but that scar story is pretty amusing

that figure should be pretty cool now

but thats if AICN is telling truth aye?

"And, to be fair, AICN have been pretty spot on so far."

LOL -- "The Creeping Fear" ring a bell? How about Gabriel Byrne cast as Grand Moff Tarkin? Or Christopher Walken cast as Darth Bane? Sith Witches? "The Shadow Falls"? "The Balance of the Force"? Episode I footage unusable because the wrong lens was put on the camera? Dicaprio cast as Anakin? That giant list of changes being made to the OT including a new fight between Obi-Wan and Vader?

I'll just stay out of this one.

Excellent checklist as to why AICN sucks!

That's just the tip of the iceberg as to why AICN sucks.

There are people out there who still think there's some sort of chance of Han Solo being in ROTS?

"okay, enough AICN slagging and sucking each other off."

Spoken like a AICN talkbacker. Do you think using such disgusting profanity makes you appear powerful or adult? It achieves neither.



User was banned for being a cock.
Not just for this post, but for most of them.

You haven't been reading thse forums much I take it ?

Definitely no Solo in ROTS. I dont think you can a better first introduction to that character other than the cantina scene.

It seems that Tarkin is going to be the OT special appearance so far. I assume seeing the Topps card checklist confirms that?

I like the anecdote and can appreciate GL's ability to improvise on the fly with what's been given to him.

However, I'll always be a little skeptical of AICN as I managed to pass off at least 2 fake rumors back in the pre-AOTC days which got put on his site. Anyone knowing just enough info can easily pass themself off as an insider if they word things in just the right way and take the right steps to cover their tracks.

I'm a lurker mostly, don't really have much to say. HOWEVER, shit like this just makes me love these boards all the much more.

Probably the formula that 87.3% of statistics are made up.

So someone has dispatched Captain Antilles to do something that met with some resistance? Obviously the someone is Bail Organa....but what did he ask Antilles to do in his Captain's uniform that involved a little violence?
