--THE BUZZ CIRCULATING OF THE ROCK PLAYING PRINCE XIZOR (INTRODUCED IN SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE BY STEVE PERRY) IS INCORRECT. THE ROCK WILL PLAY A JEDI MASTER, WHOOSE YOUNGER BROTHER IS HIS PADAWAN. ACTOR ROB SCHNEIDER, OF SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE FAME, WILL BE THE BROTHER.
--CHOW YUN FAT, WILL NOT BE PORTRAYING A JEDI MASTER, AS REPORTED RECENTLY BY OTHER STAR WARS NEWS SITES. HE IS PLAYING DARTH DESOLATE, THE LAST TRIBULATION SENT BY DARTH SIDIOUS TO TEST ANAKIN. AFTER KILLING DARTH TYRANUS, ANAKIN WILL CONTEST TWO OTHER DARTH HEIRS WITHIN THE SHROUDED SITH LAIR. AS REPORTED A FEW WEEKS AGO, JODIE FOSTER WILL PLAY THE SECOND DARTH, DARTH TERMINA.
--BRUCE CAMPBELL WILL PLAY BOUNTY HUNTER JACEN FETT (JANGO FETT'S BROTHER), AND ASHLEY JUDD WILL PLAY SPICE SMUGGLER JAINA SOLO. THEY ARE TWO LOVERS WHO MEET AT A CORUSCANT NIGHT CLUB. THEY ARE KILLED DURING THE CORRUPTION OF THE EMPIRE. OBI-WAN SAVES THEIR SON AND DELIVERS HIM TO AN ORPHANAGE ON JAINA'S HOME PLANET, CORELLIA.
