Since my Episode II thread was pretty much ignored I\'ll just move it here...
The following are spoliers - do not read them if you want to remain surprised...
I know these things from having read the book last week. It was very very good and was in fact so interesting that I read through it easily in two sittings. About Jar Jar - his on screen time seems to be pretty short, but his role is very big.
Spoliers....
- Count Dooku is Darth Sidious\'s new apprentice Lord Tyranus
- Jango Fett is the host for the clones in the Clone Army
- Jango Fett is hired by the Neimodians to assasinate Senator Amidala
- Jango Fett hires bounty hunter Zam Weesle(sp) to do his dirty work
- Jango Fett kills Zam Weesle when she is captured by the Jedi
- Anakins mother is killed by Tusken Raiders
- Anakin kills the tusken raiders that killed his mother(dozens of them and their wives and children) in a rage infuriated scene which hints at Anakins future with the dark side
- Jar Jar Binks holds a position of power with Naboo and represents Naboo as it\'s senator when Padme Amidala is away
