I don't getthe "spice" part. It just tastes like a generic cola. Ok, so it's a more festive reddish color than normal.
News:
Max is a Shadowblade, a supernatural--and supernaturally competent--warrior bound to protect her witch Giselle. As a Shadowblade, Max doesn't age. She is better, faster, stronger than any ordinary human being. And she hates it. Giselle betrayed her trust to make Max what she is, and though she is magically compelled to protect Giselle and follow orders, Max works against her witch in every way she can.

They (Padme & Obi-Wan) probably decided it would reduce the chances of the kids being discovered if they were seperated.
I'm sure once Padme sees what happens to Anakin she wouldn't want the kids visiting him on weekends!
why do the twins need to be separated? Are they worried that Luke will grow up like dear old dad?
Beru: Luke's just not a farmer, Owen. He's got too much of his father in him.
Owen: That's what I'm afraid of.
Obi-Wan: To protect you both from the Emperor, you were hidden from your father when you were born. The Emperor knew, as I did, if Anakin were to have any offspring, they would be a threat to him. That is the reason why your sister remains safely anonymous.
Maybe Palpatine knew if Vader knew about his kids he wouldn't be so evil? I bet ol' Palp even tells Anakin the Jedi had something to do with Padme's (apparent) death.

Just a guess on the Geos, but they're probably something new.
And my money's on that red robe belonging to one of the Senate/Imperial Guards. They had red robes in Ep2 and I'm guessing Yoda's probably gone to have a chat with the nice senator from Naboo.
I haven't watched the Jedi dvd but I heard that line of Leia's about her mom was removed.
My theory is the kids will be born and everyone will flee Coruscant on the Rebel ship, swing by Dagobah to drop Yoda off (going back to Luke's comment about it being familiar in ESB) then off to Tatooine to drop Luke then to Alderaan with Leia and Bail. What happens to Padme is anyone's guess.

That is ridiculous. I've seen plenty of copycat heroes running around from every major label. And I know if the Gaming Gods find out about any copyright violation it's taken care of. There used to be a Supergroup on my server called The Avengers and while none of the members looked like said group, they were forced to change their name.
IMO, the amount of copycat characters is a very small percent of players and rarely have I seen any of them advance beyond level 10 or so.

If you watch the deleted Naboo scenes on the Ep2 dvd it shows a little more of them interacting. But even better is the novelization which spends more time with them making their relationship a little more believable.
And she's only about 5 years older than him.
Fell, I know their definately not on Geonosis, but the bug guys are hand-in-hand(?) with the Seperatists what with the huge droid factories and that space station thingy
Here's an enlargement of that shot. There's something riding those bugs/robots/Gharthim. I just thought they might be Geos since the head is kinda the same shape.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned/caught it but around 1:20 in when Yoda is drawing his saber, there's a familiar looking red-robed figure on the floor on the right
Those proto-x-wings were called tri-wings in post-production and almost didn't make it into the film. There was an on-set diary entry about them. At one point they were cut from the film but the fx guys really thought they were cool so I guess they're back in!

3) It's not Kessel and I think they are beetle-like thingys being ridden by the Geonosians (the bug guys from Ep2)
5) Definately something new
7) I believe that is the new Jedi starfighter design
11) From the behins the scenes set diaries that I've read (released on the pay part of starwars.com) there are indeed areas of Kashyyyk that are not completely forested. (or even frosted...mmmm!)
12) Spooky-looking guy has not appeared in any cartoons to date. May change with round 3 of Clone Wars next year.
23) Gotta be Sidious or Anakin/Vader taking out Mace. Either that or he goes down under a batallion of droids so someone can escape.

Heads up heroes! Those wacky devs at Cryptic have cooked up some Halloween fun for us: Trick or Treating!
I'm not sure if it's all weekend or just Sunday, but I'm sure you'll notice it!
From what I hear you can open building doors to Trick or Treat. You may get a treat (inspiration), a trick (some new [link=http://webhost.bridgew.edu/a1hatch/cohevent/pumpkinhead.jpg]special monsters[/link]) or a rock (temp power you can throw).
There are also new badges for dropping the Halloween meanies. [link=http://webhost.bridgew.edu/a1hatch/cohevent/pumpkinhead.jpg]List here[/link]

A letter from Marvel Comics' Star Wars:
-> ...someone made an astronomical error. On page 16, panel 5 [of issue #2], Han Solo says his ship "made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs." I'll bet he can run the mile in less than 100 yards, too. A parsec is a measure of distance, approximately 3.26 light years. (A light year is about six trillion miles.) I expect my oofy, gilded no-prize by earliest mail.
We'd love to present you one, Mike, since you're right on target. However, we asked George about it, and he says he wrote that line for the movie on purpose, partly as an in-joke and partly to show that Han Solo was something of a bull artist who didn't always know precisely what he was talking about. So, we're afraid you'll have to take it up with Mr. Lucas himself! --Roy [Roy Thomas, writer and editor for the comic at the time]
*******************
There are a couple more theories on the [link=http://www.starwars.com/databank/location/kessel/?id=bts]Official Star Wars site[/link].
Btw, the Ep3 teaser poster is there as well on the main page
