CLASSIC IMAGE: A PLACE OF TIME AND SECRETS

Mixing old world architecture with the best of modern technology, its data banks holding a millennia of information, the immense Jedi Archive, under the watchful and helpful eye of Madame Jocasta Nu and her Padawans, is quite the visual sight to behold- another triumphant and interesting visual image from EPISODE II.

CLASSIC IMAGE: THE MYSTERIOUS PLANET...

Inside the huge expanse of the Jedi Temple Archives on Coruscant, layered with statues of fallen and "Lost" Jedi, Obi-Wan Kenobi searches for the location of the missing planet Kamino, in a scene from EPISODE II. The Kaminoan Cloners, and more information about the late Jedi Knight Sifo-Dyas, look set to be an important part of the upcoming, partially completed Sixth Season of THE CLONE WARS, recently subtitled The Lost Missions, arriving first on German TV next month.

SCENES WE WANT ON BLU-RAY 4: "THE LOST TWENTY"

We'd all seen the pictures before the release of EPISODE II where, within the vast interior of the Jedi Temple Archives, Obi-Wan Kenobi looks on at a bust (one of many showing other historically important Jedi), bearing the visage of Count Dooku, leading to Librarian Jocastu Nu recounting to him (and the audience) how the ex-Jedi Master has become one of the few of a group, intriguingly known as "the Lost Twenty", to have deliberately departed the Jedi Order of their own free will due to differing viewpoints with the colleagues. Sadly, the fascinating scene, which revealed how Dooku's then recent departure had proved a bitter blow to the Council (soon further surprised by his becoming the leader of the ever-growing Separatist Forces against the Republic), disappointingly never making it into the final film.

Here's hoping for either a re-insertion of the footage into the film on Blu-ray or, at least, a welcome appearance in the Deleted Scenes section...
