I've watched it 3 times and I've never been able to tell who that was... but yes, I've always thought that that particular character will make an appearance of some kind in Ep 3.

I think there is another pic of Mothma in the most recent Star Wars Insider... with some sort of headgear.
But I only glanced at it.

I'm suprised there is not a Jedi (or Sith) with a small "Lightdagger" to emulate the rapier style of swordsmanship.
Well, I don't think it'd be that hard to construct a sabre with a blade that could extend partially (to dagger-length) as well as fully, so there very well might be.

"Notice that when Anakin strikes down Asajj, we see Obi Wan, Yoda and Qui Gon react!"
Well, considering that we also heard Qui-Gon in AotC when Anakin killed all the Tuskens, it's not surprising that they threw that into the cartoon. I don't know how much we can trust the cast list at IMDb, but Qui-Gon isn't on it. Then again, Liam Neeson wasn't even credited in AotC.
The IMDb list doesn't show General Grievous, either. Also, it lists someone as playing Bail Organa's wife. I always assumed Organa had married Amidala and pretended to be Leia's father. But I guess maybe the Oraganas adopted her. I guess it would explain Luke's question in RotJ about "your real mother".

Sideous isn't credited either, IIRC. They don't list the people that they want to be surprises
Suuposedly Luke's ANH blade can have its length adjusted by turning a dial on the side of the hilt. In Spinter of the Mind's Eye, I think, he dials it down to just a few inches long.

I don't believe he actually recorded that line. What I heard was that it was a digital construct. Whether that's accurate or not, I don't know.
In Spinter of the Mind's Eye
Hasn't that been declared part of the Infinities series?

Actually, that line really only does make sense if Amidala *DID* marry Organa, because if she died in labor as I've heard is supposed to happen in EpIII, Leia shouldn't remember her any better than Luke.
BTW, between the Clone Wars and EpIII discussion, shouldn't some $$$ spoiler warnings be added to the title?

I thought it was looped dialogue from the previous film, the part on Tatooine when Maul comes speeding up and he says "Anakin! Drop!"

Why, no it hasn't. Why do you say that? In any case, it doesn't matter since he was just wondering why no one had ever thought of the idea, not whether or not it was canonical.

Duku's lightsabre is more of a cutlass (in how he uses it). A Rapier style would be more aggressive in lunging forward and would likely need a bit more room than usually practical.
I always wondered how much force powers go into just strengthening their arms while dueling...someone like Yoda would need to expend some measure of energy to match the physical strength of an opponent like Darth Maul.
You'd think a Jedi could be extremely formidable in hand to hand combat if they lost their 'sabre (though that's not the case in EpII.)

Well that idea is from Jedi's SFX: While on the sail barge, Luke's 'sabre blade is about two meters long while he's slicing through henchmen, (it's the "streetsweeper" setting, I guess) and then much shorter when Boba Clone ties him up.
If the adjustment is just a knob on the handle, I'd bet a Jedi can adjust it via the force while fighting.

I think that readers up and down the land going "ewwwwwww! She's your sister!" is a pretty good reason to declare it non-canon.

But...uh...Luke didn't know she was his sister. And, IIRC, they never actually did anything incestuous. He was just fantasizing about her, right? In which case it's nothing out of the ordinary. He was obviously doing as much in ESB as well, and I think you'd find that it's not uncommon in real life, either.

Reading the starwars.com site - I clicked on a link 'lightsabers' and it says that there is a focusing knob thingy - which can change the emitted part... i suppose you could always have it turned to half length.
Yoda and Yaddle's light sabres might be 'light-daggers' or 'light-shortswords'.
It'd be interesting to see a Jedi with a staff weapon. A double edge in blue or something.

It IS the case in the clonewars series - especially in the Mace Windu eps and some others where they loose their sabres. And start attacking hand-to-hand or with the force.
Can Jedi combine their force powers?? I mean with Greivous they could have just looped him and all force blast him from every side.

^^^ They could all surround him and give him the Force Push at the same time to crumple his body like an aluminum can, which it is.

In those crap Kevin J. Anderson post-ROTJ novels one of Luke's apprentices who turned to the Darkside had a lightsaber that could dial up and down from knife size up to like four meter long lance size.
