Lucas on Episode II!
Today TF.N has quotes from the Associated Press. ""It's fun to be directing again,'' Lucas said at a news conference in the court theater inside the palace, which will serve as a backdrop for the Naboo planet of Queen Amidala, the character played by Natalie Portman.
""Episode II'' sets off about a decade after the end of ""Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. Anakin Skywalker, grown into a teen-ager, learns the ways of the Force with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi (played by Ewan McGregor) and falls in love with Amidala, the queen and future mother of Luke and Leia.
Their love is eventually doomed as Anakin begins his journey toward the Dark Side and becomes Darth Vader.
Lucas describes the film as ""romantic story.'' ""It is basically a fairly tale, but there's a lot of action, too.''
