The Official Star Wars Site has announced that Star Wars prequel trilogy Production Designer Gavin Bocquet, who helped create the exotic world of xXx since wrapping Episode II, was at Skywalker Ranch last week to meet with George Lucas one last time before leaving for Australia to ramp up set production on Episode III.

Without a final script in hand, the production team has learned to adapt to Lucas' quick-paced style. "We try to be in a position where we can really move when called upon and be ready to go quickly." Bocquet cites a new ship for one of the film's heroes as an example. "We still don't know if we're going to need a full-size cockpit or a full-size ship, but we're doing all the technical drawings for it. Even if we don't build it, then that information is ready for ILM to have and use." To read this entire article, click here!

So... We are going to see another new ship for Episode III. I wonder what it will be? A capital ship, transport, or maybe even a new fighter. Might we get the opportunity to see the Z-95 Headhunter in action? Hmmmm. It is listed in the Official Star Wars Site's database for some reason.
