"Real Time" Episode II to Episode III

A report about the span of time between AOTC and Ep.3:

I work in a bookshop in England. Yesterday our friendly Penguin/Dorling Kindersley rep was in and was going through new books for next year. He showed me the cover for Star Wars - The Worlds of Episode II and told me an interesting story.
Very recently, the head of LucasFilm UK was giving a small presentation to the Penguin Group. She was telling them how Episode III was going to be the biggest thing ever, partly because of it being 'real time'. "You mean, "asked a quizzical rep,"it will only cover 2 hours of Star Wars time?"

No. What she meant was that when Episode III opens in May 2005, the Clone Wars will be just finishing as the film opens. The Clone Wars last for three years. "So the Clone Wars are happening now," she said. Ergo, Episode III takes place exactly three years after AOTC. Cool huh?

Sounds neat. 🙂

Well, I don't see why not- though how it helps it be one of the biggest things ever is beyond me.

I thought I've heard from many places that Episode III will only be two years after AOTC.

Not three.

That's the whole reason why I opened it. So you can all argue whether it's 3 years or 2. 😄

According to some sites like TFN, they say they have a confirmation from Rick McCallum that it is two.

two or three big deal.....

And Rick is SO reliable...

Ummm this is kinda a silly debate don't you think.....if it's three great it's a three year war....if it's only two....great too....it's all gonna be STAR WARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there you go

You two are having your geek privileges removed.

excuse me?????

Perople who cannot get worked up about whether it is two years or three years do not deserve to be SW geeks!

hurumph!!!!!!.......once a sw geek always a sw geek at heart

just a SW fan, I leave the geek stuff to others

I agree

Good theory Ush... 😄

It's gonna be two. if you read any of the new jedi order books, they have a time line in the beginning of all the books and when they happend according to a new hope

the pic is a little hard to see, but i had to make it small so i could upload it

me 2 💃

nice, so its 2 yrs.

🙄 why argue...there are so many other wonderful topics to argue about than whether it'll be 2 or 3 years...or*lightning* what if it's only 1.876 years 😱 💃
