Here's some random bit of news picked up from the Rick McCallum talk and the Hayden Christensen talk.

McCallum stated that in Episode III, Yoda''s species would be addressed. He didn't elaborate on how or why.

McCallum said that you could expect a "normal wait" for the Episode II. You can asssume that means less than a year after the film hits.

Christensen spoke about his first meeting with Anthony Daniels. He said Daniels walked up to him at the opening party of filming and said in Threepio's voice, "Hello, I am C-3PO." Christensen replied, "A, a protocol droid. Ftech me a drink." :)

A five year old boy asked Hayden what he needed to do to become a Jedi like Anakin. Christensen replied, "Are you aware of your midichlorian count?" This drew laughs from the crowd and the follow up comment, "Trust your feelings." Anthony Daniels asked if the kid wanted to turn to the Dark Side like Anakin, and he said yes!

Nick Gillard was the one that suggested to Samuel Jackson that he needed a purple lightsaber. That reportedly sparked Jackson's quest for the unique lightsaber.

Christensen didn't keep any props from the film.

Hayden said out of all the merchadising, he thought it would be coolest to play himself in a video game. The rest is really, really weird seeing himself on it. Nick Gillard replied that he got an Anakin toothbrush.

Nick Gillard confirmed that Christopher Lee did, of course, have a double for the fights, but that he did a great deal himself.

For your really, really random trivia, Hayden Christensen's parakeets are named Alex and Jay. So there you have it. :)

More random news from the convention as we get it.
