Dave passed along an article that was in his local paper the Altoona Mirror today talking about Star Wars Episode 2. This article includes 2 Easter eggs and a possible spoiler for episode 3:
Skywalker Ranch, Marian County, CA - Fans always look for insider jokes, puns and clues while watching Star Wars flicks. Here's just a sampling oof what's in Episode 2 - Attack of the Clones:
1. About those Millennium Falcons - The three forerunners of Han Solo's ship appear during the sequence when Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala go to Naboo. Keep your eyes to the left of the screen.
2. From field to far afield - There are large, bulbous computer-generated creatures called shaaks (sort of a cross between a cow and a big tick) living on the grassy knolls of Naboo that show up in other places. As a joke, special effects staffers turned one of them into an asteroid floating among myriad dangerous space rocks. Another is hidden among fighting machines during the film's climatic battle and set of fire.
3. The next voice you hear - Yes, that is Liam Neeson's deceased Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn you hear speaking from beyond during a lightsaber battle. George Lucas advises Qui-Gon's words reveal a plot point for the coming Episode 3.
