I've heard that an EU character is supposed to make an appearance in Revenge of The Sith. Anyone have any idea who it might be? I know it's true, Lucas has confirmed it...but he won't say who it is. I'm hoping it will be Prince Xizor, that would make sense since he's a very popular EU character who would be around during that time period. Maybe Trawn? Any ideas?
"It is confirmed that an EU character is to make an appearance in Episode 3. The scenes for the EU character will not be shot until 2004 and no one has been cast for the part."

I've been thinking they may be refering to a film version of an ARC trooper since they were cloned directly from Jango with limited genetic alteration so they could be sort of elite commandos. Those were shown in the cartoons as the red and blue commandos with the sandtrooper like shoulder plate. And Temura Morrison is in the film as a clone. Since AOTC showed the clones eating, which were a different actor to represent them NOT being direct clones (due to the genetic alterations). They also said Obi-wan would have to kill a clone he had befriended, and in the comics he's befriended a clone commando named Alpha. That may be the character. But I thought they filmed his shots already. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
It's possible that Xizor would be in Ep3 since Xizor would still be alive and in charge of Black Sun during Ep3. It’s probably a little over 20 years between Ep3 and Shadows, and I'm pretty sure that the Falleen have a long life expectancy. Either way, it would make sense and I think it would be really cool to see Xizor in ep3

I can't remember his name but who was the senator in the Thrawn series that had a conflict with Mon Mothma? Do you think it might be him? The events timing are correct.

I don't think its going to be from any of the older novels. Those were before Lucas even checked over plots before publishing. The prequel era books and comics fit so well into the films, due to Lucasfilm taking a somewhat more hands on interest (not much more, but certainly more than they had in the past). I believe the character will be from either the Clone Wars cartoon, the Republic comics about the Clone wars (which even fit in with the cartoon), or one of the novels of this era, more people (at large) pay attention to this stuff than the old novels.
I thought of him as well when I read through this thread. I think he was named Senator Garm Bel Iblis, or something similar. He would sertanly fit into the story, and he is also not a major EU character.
