‘Star Wars III’:The last one
‘Star Wars’ fans are rejoicing now George Lucas has decided to include Chewbacca in Episode III. The Wookie, played in the last of the sequels due to hit screens in 2005.

Mayhew is set to reprise his role as Han Solo’s trusty sidekick. Mayhew said,
“I’m delighted to return as Chewbacca. I think his re-appearance in this film is a fitting way to tie the whole saga together Wokie fans.”.

More screen time will also be given to those other classic characters C-3PO and R2D2. Lucas has already hired actors Anthony Daniel and Kenny Baker to reprise their respective roles as sprigtier versions of their robot charcters for the movie.

Lucas has said in the past that having Baker inside the R2-D2 suit brought “an element of humanity” to the character. But the director is leaving fans in the dark as to whether Darth Vader will return for the final climax.

The film-maker has refused to reveal how the third instalment of the beloved franchise will end and even star Hayden Christensen has little idea. When asked if he would be donning the legendary black armour, Christensen said,
“No, not as far as I know. It’s not in the story if we begin from where we left off.”

He also doubts there’ll be any mask wearing or asthmatic breathing either. He added, “None of that, as far as I know. But that’s very little. George is notorious, he keeps it all very secretive.” Considering James Earl Jones who voiced the original Vader has definitely been booked to appear at the end of the movie, the dark cloaked one may well make his welcome return.
