Not impressed. He's a droid. Tell me, how sinister can a droid be? It only reaches a point. There's IG-88 sinister, but that's as far as it goes, as far as I'm concerned. IG-88 sinister cannot compare to Sith-sinister, no sir.

HK-47 was pretty damn evil.....ok maybe not in a sinister way.

Do you think this droid will also call humans meatbags? I think I'd completely forgive Lucas for Jar Jar if that were the case...

Um.. Explain something to me. That's Jango Fett... Jango Fett had his head liberated from his body.

Yeah. A droid as an arch evil guy during the Clone Wars? Dumb idea. I think you should hav had the clones, the remaining jedi, Padme, Anikan and Obi, Dooku and Palpy. That should have been most of the major cast.

I already planned out a great ending for it. Or even mid point.
Dooku is on the floor wheezing and wounded after an intense saber duel with Ani, and Palpatine was watching from the shadows. He comes out and says "Anikan.. strike him down, and join me in your rightful place at my side. Together, we can rule the galaxy as Master and Student..."

It would have been a perfect near-ending, or turning point for Ani, and then after that he slaughters all the jedis.

I must be missing something. There's a droid in that image? I'll assume it's the one in the center. That center figure does not really look like a droid, and since when do droids wear clothes?

Don't diss Artoo. Any character that can pass off "whistle beep fart" as not only a valid language but as carefully scripted character development should be considered a virtual tour de force in screenwriting. He's not sinister but... what character from Star Wars honestly is? Even Vader's evil was tainted by his heart of gold hidden under that broken 8 track player taped to his chest. And Boba Fett was nothing but a nice costume until the fans got hold of him.

However, I will not defend C-3PO but I will admit the actor must have been relatively badass to survive filming in that suit out in the desert for those Tatooine scenes.

It's been confirmed that one of the villains in Episode III is a droid general, so it's a good bet that's what he'll look like.

Am I the only one who's bothered by the low quality photoshop of that cover?

I really hope that the Driod general doesn't look like that.

1) That is Boba Fett in Jango's armor. Mystery solved. How it came to be repainted is a story I am certain they will be telling in the future.


*SPOILERS*

2) General Grevious will actually get little screentime, and will be gone by midway through the film, so he is hardly an arch nemesis.

3) Dooku dies in the film early as well. VERY early. Make no mistake - Anakin is the main villian in this film; not any of the supporting cast.

Not really, Boba was only about ten in AOTC, and E3 takes place about 2-3 years later. I doubt Boba has grown to his father's size by the age of 13, unless he was like the Clones and had accelerated growth. Which Lama Su said he didn't.
