At www.supershadow.com the Episode 2 and 3 News section had this statement from George Lucas in it.

“I've certainly used the lightsabre duel plot device to my advantage in these films. When you have movies with Jedi in them, you're going to see duels. There's no way around that. I guess the duels can get pretty boring if you don't strive to up the ante and make them more exciting. I think with Episode 2 you'll see that we're expanding the duels. Making them more epic in nature. You'll see unique and ferocious fighting styles. More warriors going head-to-head than before. We're introducing the Rogue Jedi for the first time, who are separate and distinct from the mysterious Sith Lords. You'll also see a lightsabre used by a digital character for the first time, which opens all kind of possibilities. It's my job to make the duels better and better and I believe I am doing that with the new film. the best is yet to come."

I think Christopher Lee is bound to be that Rogue Jedi don't you think?

It certainly may shape up that way, but I think there will be a lot of surprises in this next film.

Does anyone know what part Gabriel Byrne (I think thats his name!) is playing?

I reckon he'd be good as a rogue Jedi.

Theres something in I,Jedi about kinda rogue jedi called the Jensaari, who wear this armour that shorts out lightsaber blades called Cortosis ore or something...

I'm pretty sure that if he is in the movie that he will be playing Tarkin.

If he is in the movie he'd better play a bad guy. I saw him in The End of Days, and it was a terrible movie but he did an excellent job portraying evil, so he would do an outstanding job.

This Rogue Jedi are Dark Jedi. As I've said before not all Dark Jedi are Sith Lords. There are many different groups/sects of Dark Jedi like The Nightsisters, The Krath, The Bpfasshi Dark Jedi, Shadow Academy, and many others. The Sith Lords are most famous and feared (and possible the most powerful) Dark Jedi. It will be interesting to see these Rogue Jedi.

I would agree, and it is very likely that there are good force capable people who live as Jedi but have not become a part of the order.

Like RC just said, I don't think the Rogue Jedi is necesarily a member of the Dark Side. In fact, have you heard of how Mara Jade was reffered to as neither Light nor Dark. Perhaps they're not evil like the Dark Jedi, but still they're not as polite or as respectful as a member of the Jedi Order.
Christopher Lee described his character as a polite gentleman so who knows?

Who are the Krath?

I've heard of the others, but not them!

And the Jensaari were'nt good or bad, either. They would try and balance it out so that everything was even...so say if they killed someone, they would go and save someone elses life!

If I was a jedi, I'd be one of these!

I'm not sure, but I think the Krath are on RPGs. I know I've heard them somewhere before.

The Krath were Darksiders who got killed of by the Sith. Perhaps the Sith will battle against Dark Jedi in Episode 2 and 3 because they refuse to join Darth Sidious and are BIG threat to the Sith.

Yes thats a good possibility. Anyone notice how many different people there could be taking part in the battles of Episode 2 and 3?
The Jedi, the Sith, the Republic, the Mandalores, the Clones, the Trade Federation, the Dark Jedi and others. There are so many different possibilities.
