A good day indeed

I found Empire magazine at Tower Records today. Nice article, a little on the spoilery side so beware, and it's peppered with Rick McCallum's usual casual cursing. The pictures are of course fantastic.

Speaking of the Ricker, he did a chat on Hyperspace this morning and he reveals more tasty tidbits, such as the current length of the film (2 hours, 13 minutes without credits), his favorite line from the upcoming trailer ("Not from a Jedi"), and which Skywalker bambino exits Padmé's womb first. All I can say is, it blew my long-held theory out of the sky. Oh well, I'll live:

There's more on the official site about John Williams's recording sessions. More old school cues and cues from the previous prequels:

Finally, there are more foreign mag pictures. Judging by the caption on the one of Padmé, I'd say it's Dutch or Flemish. Have to admit, she looks gorgeous in that shot. The other is of Anakin, who of course, always looks fab. Well, at least pre-duel he'll look fab.

Here's another good one...Anakin complains about airline food, Palpatine is counting the squares on Artoo's noggin, and Obi-Wan is busy surfing porn sites:
