Star Wars III Hints
There's not long to wait now for the third episode in the Star Wars saga but that hasn't stopped the odd supposed detail about the film slipping out.
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge Of The Sith is the final instalment of George Lucas' epic galaxy tale, completing the six film run and the stage is set for dramatic deaths and perhaps even ghostly returns.
According to FemaleFirst, Liam Neeson, whose character was killed off in The Phantom Menace, has hinted in a very subtle fashion that his character might make a return as a ghost.
Refusing to give any details, Neeson said: "I can't speak about it. Jedi code of ethics." So that wasn't a denial then...
But there is one oddity - his character, Qui-Gon Jinn, was killed by Darth Maul but unlike other Jedi Knights he didn't disappear just after he died, instead he had to be burnt on a funeral pyre.
When fans noticed this difference, it was reported that George Lucas would reveal why...
Meanwhile, another star of the 3 new films, Samuel L Jackson, has revealed that his character Mace Windu dies a spectacular death in Revenge Of The Sith.
He told the San Francisco Chronicle: "It's rousing. It's a great light-saber battle with 102 moves in three big rooms."
