New pic scanned from a French movie magazine that surfaced on TFN:

Spoiler

From the opening of ROTS onboard the Seperatist's ship, The Invisible Hand.

New Art Of Revenge: "That 70's Planet"


Also Josh Griffen, Ex-Editor & Co-Founder of TheForce.Net, keeps letting slip various spoilers from what seems a draft of ROTS' novelisation. Here's a few bits of info he's released:
*MAJOR SPOILERS*

Spoiler

Padme's Death Bed Scene:
http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=17610638&start=17612115

Would this do it?

The hovering droid comes out of the medical center to greet the two anxious Jedi. If he could give any expression from his teal eyes, it would be one of sadness. His multiple arms try to convey the message of despair to the two remaining Jedi in the galaxy. In the background, we see Padme lying face up on a floating, white, oval-shaped bed. She is dead, covered to her chest in a white sheet and wearing a light blue top.

Blue aliens with large hands tend to her expressionless body and to the nearby medical computers - but nothing it seems can be done. Yoda sighs quietly as the droid begins to speak. "I'm sorry, we were unable to save her. We were, however, able to save ... the children."

Heroes:
http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=17610458&start=17612031

About halfway through the film we see the heroes really and truly revealed. That is, if you don't count the rest of the Jedi who gave of their lives up to this point.

The heores: Yoda, in his quest to rid the universe of Palpidious once and for all, and Obi-Wan in his veritable quest to turn Anakin back from the Dark Side.

Both fail utterly.

JG

Tri-Fighters:
(Scrapbook cover link)

It is a Tri-Fighter.

That view isn't all that impressive though. There's a shot in the film where three in formation sweep right by the camera, red lasers blasting. Actually, I think it looks more Matrix like when I first say them - they have one large laser cannon in the middle of the 3 curved wings and red "eyes" too. All black, metallic steel looking.

VERY COOL.

JG


Palpatine versus Mace Windu:
The old man was left crumpled to his knees.

"I cannot, I turn myself over to you. I am too weak in the end," he said. "Too old, weak ... I give up. Don't kill me, Master Windu. I surrender."

JG



Emperor's Storm:
http://boards.theforce.net/Revenge_of_the_Sith_(Spoilers_Allowed)/b10331/17676846/

"Fool!" The lightning was reflected back to its source. The Chancellor reeled from the shock, snarling at his prey.


Clouds of darkness filled the sky, and lightening bolts jolted the Coruscant cityscape. But it was a footnote compared to the lightening the Chancellor dispensed at his fingertips that same moment.

JG



Qui-Gon and Force Ghosts:
Yoda feels that he is responsible for the failure in the fall of the Jedi. He talks to the force, who talks back to him in the voice of ... Qui-Gon Jinn. It had been speaking to him these past thirteen years, answering his questions about life, and more importantly, eternal life.

"Do not blame yourself, my old friend."

JG


Near the time of Padme's death:
So one of the last remaining Jedi in the galaxy was in the middle of his first true lesson of the Force. In the corridor just ahead of him stood Bail Organa. His face told the whole story.

"You're needed at the surgical facility," he said. "Obi-Wan asked for you to come. It's Padmé - she's dying."

JG


In another thread, he also added this line without any comment or context:
"Do you think the fear you feel is mine?"

JG


In a thread about the last words spoken by particular characters:
Mace: "You can explain the difference after he's dead."

JG


Emperor Sidious:
There is a scene where the hooded Palpidious declares himself Emperor of the newly-created Empire. My how different the good chancellor looks now.

Oh yes!! I've been pumped to see more of the General since the animated series on Cartoon Network!! I can't wait to see him in motion in the film (and his cameo role in Republic Commando). My new favorite villain in the Star Wars universe.

So is Doku Anakin's father?

Sorry, I don't follow SW much. =/

No but someone is hinted at....

Spoiler

Palpatine tells Anakin the story of a Sith Lord named Darth Plagueis who could cheat death as well as manipulate the Force to the extent of creating new life right out of the Force itself.

 

[Rocket Punch]

I like how Anakin's clothes look similar to Luke's in RotJ. Also the same setting with Palpatine looking down on them as they fight. It makes their contrast more striking. Same situation. Different outcome. Luke > Anakin.

In Return of the Jedi. Vader throws him down the shaft.

You guys told me Grievous wasn't a droid. What the hell is he, then?

And:

FINISH HIM *DUN DUN DUNNNNN*

He is a combination of alien and machine. He's meant to mirror what Anakin will eventually become.

That pic is hot. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more of Kit Fisto. I really dig his look.

Where are all these shots coming from? Leaks or are they 'stolen' from that Hyperspace service?

These are leaks from various insiders. You don't get stuff like this on Hyperspace; to be honest, the Hyperspace service is a glorified cock-tease.

EDIT: One more pic; I think this'll be the last one for today.

EDIT PART II: Hmm... there may be one more Sidious pic floating around, him with his saber exposed.

Well, no sense in waiting around for it right now; back to MGS3!

 

[ManaByte]

Most of this stuff is coming from Josh who used to run TFN. He's using his old spy name.

Man, I'm getting really hyped for this. Only 5 months away. I hope it kicks some serious ass.

 

[The Bookerman]

Saki = PTGrevious?

That shot of Mace and the other Jedi is very very cool.

 

[Prine]

Looks brilliant. Mace especially

 

[BojTrek]

There is a new one of TFN and www.millenniumfalcon.com that shows Yoda and Ben overlooking medical droids working on Amidalla... very cartoon looking... I think too much CGI ruins Star Wars...

Thanks to the idiots at Aintitcoolnews posting these pics a week later, both millenniumfalcon.com and idontfear.com are down. They can't post any real scoops any more so they fucks up other site's stuff.

Eh, it's not AintItCoolNews' fault. Do you really think the pics would have spread any slower if AICN hadn't posted them? And do you really think the resulting reaction from LFL would have been any different? I'm sure millenniumfalcon.com and idontfear.com had an inkling of what they were getting into before they posted pics in the first place...

 

[radioheadrule83]

Bah! I saved most of them, but I was looking foreward to more.

Anyone know of any IRC channels or anything like that were this stuff might appear?

 

[Simo]

I wouldn't worry, it's not the first time this has happened to both sites. MF will most likely be back up in a couple weeks anyways.

Not sure if anyone caught it before IDF went down but new Anakin/Palpatine promo pic:

I would think them posting them on that site is almost like being slashdotted (which is actually what happened probably because Slashdot posted a link to the AICN story).

Either way, I would never pass an opportunity to bash AICN.

 

[thefit]

Ah crap milleniumfalcon.com had some damn good hardcover spoilers.

 

[IAmtheFMan]

Bah! I saved most of them, but I was looking foreward to more.

I wouldn't think that anymore are gonna appear anytime soon. There's been some SW insider turmoil over these pics being released. There still may be some being witheld by some, but after what's happened, you probably won't see any for a while.

For those that didn't catch the last MF: Hardcopy, here it is. Big big spoilers outlining the fate of Padme, among other things, some of the largest to be released so far.

Spoiler

After Padme arrives on Mustafar in her sleek, silver Naboo skiff, she quickly exits the ramp and runs to Anakin. She begins to relay to Anakin Obi-Wan’s accusations about the massacre in the Jedi Temple.

However, instead of refuting the accusations, Anakin replies, "Obi-Wan's alive?" Padme starts to worry that Obi-Wan will track Anakin down and kill him. Anakin questions Padme to find out if she told Obi-Wan where he was. She replies that she didn't tell him.

Satisfied with her response, Anakin begins to lure Padme into a more deadly plan – his plan – to rid the galaxy of Palpatine.

He tries to convince Padme to let Palpatine declare himself Emperor. He states that the Republic needed to be destroyed; the Jedi, the Separatists... Once Palpatine unites everyone under his Empire, he will kill him, then Anakin and Padme can rule the galaxy together.

Padme is not happy with this, and just as she begins to tell him to stop, Anakin spots Obi-Wan exiting the ship.

"You…" growls Anakin, in a dark voice – his eyes turning non-human.

Padme turns around to see Obi-Wan walking towards them

”Padme, move away from him,” says Obi-Wan calmly.

"Obi-Wan? No!” exclaims Padme. She turns back to her husband only to find him looking at her with intense anger.

”You...you brought him here?!” says Anakin dumbfounded.

Suddenly, Padme begins to gasp...Anakin uses the Force to choke her. Anakin tells her how much he loved her as Padme desperately tries to breathe.

”Let her go,” pleads Obi-Wan.

”You're not going to take her away from me,” adds Anakin. Anakin, in turn, blames Obi-Wan for turning her against him.

Anakin looks at Obi-Wan and replies, “Never! And with that, Padme faints.

Obi-Wan races over and checks Padme's pulse. Anakin offers Obi-Wan a chance to leave – ‘for old time’s sake.’ But Obi-Wan is on a mission to destroy the Sith.

As Threepio and Artoo drag Padme's body up to the ship, The Duel to destory Vader begins…

 

[thefit]

Ah yes I cought up to there so did they reveal anymore on any other site?

 

[IAmtheFMan]

Naw, that was the last one.

 

[IAmtheFMan]

 

[AniHawk]

If the actual movie's as good as what I'm reading, this should be up there with OT.

Those scans rock!
