On that tweeted "production" photo of Jar Jar Abrams, Kat Kennedy et al...it looks like they'll all trying to figure out who's going to get the car so they can smuggle R2 out of there before anyone notices....no one looks particularly happy there, especially R2....

I remember seeing the Episode I trailer in the theater as a kid and since it had all of the fast cuts at the end I got the impression that Jar Jar had a double bladed lightsaber---really crazy. That's the only thing I remember seeing in the trailer.

Darth Jar Jar... oh man... That be a twist... Wonder how the movie would have played out with that.

It turns out those two guys were from the R2 Builders Club and they've signed on as part of the Creature Effects team.

A PT apologist at it's finest is lerath. Sure it would've been nice to see droids do some things that we didn't get to see in the OT. Point is Lucas went OVERBOARD in just about every conceivable area.

I am so far trusting JJ to find that fine line. (everything seems to be heading in that direction so far) One thing fans need to remember is Star Wars isn't JUST for nerds. When SW is good, regular movie going folks love it and can't resist it. That's what made the OT so magic back in the day. Yeah you have geeks that loved it, but just casual people that couldn't give a shyyt thought it was cool. (some of you older guys may remember) THAT'S what makes a memorable movie period. (not fluff to give the geeks an orgasm)

But still, i remain cautiously optimistic about ep7

NOt an Appologist at all. The PT were pretty terrible. YES, I enjoyed tehm, but that dosn't make them Good movies.

That said, I DO agree with the second part I bolded.

You've probably seen it pasted all over movie news outlets today: R2-D2 will be in Star Wars Episode: VII. It's confirmed. This is the first character we can absolutely say for sure will be in the film. Han Solo might not show up. Luke Skywalker might sit this one out. They may even decide to do away with lightsabers. But R2-D2 will be there.

And yet, people seem to be ignoring the larger news this implies. Through his curious absence, it can be inferred that R2-D2's constant companion, C-3PO, will not appear. Why else confirm one robot and not the other? Bad Robot has declined to offer me details on this matter, despite my steadfast refusal to ask for any. The silence is deafening.

All this R2-D2 brouhaha started several days ago when Bad Robot tweeted a photo of J.J. Abrams with the tiny robot. Today merely marks confirmation of what many already guessed. But the double attention on one robot with no mention of the other only makes his absence that much more suspicious.

Perhaps C-390 dies between Return of the Jedi and this new film. Or maybe he's being saved for Episode VIII. Or it could just be that J.J. Abrams thinks he's annoying and would characteristically prefer to ignore him altogether. We'll just have to wait and see when Star Wars: Episode VII comes out May 2018.

Or maybe Anthony Daniels just doesn't feel like being an attention whore?

I would rather sleep with a she-he before subjecting myself to AOTC C3PO scenes ever again.

That's it - why does there have to be this big whirlwind of controversy of 3PO not being shown yet?

It's so predictable; tease the nerds enough to get them spinning, & they'll imagine anything.

They're both in Ep.VII.
Just a guess because these two are iconic SW characters.
