The Official Star Wars Site has announced that Hyperspace members will be able to participate in two online chats this week with key people in the Episode III production team. Like the previous chats, these events are held in the Celebrity Talks and Schedule forum only visible to Hyperspace members. Please note that past chats have produced literally hundreds of questions from enthusiastic participants, so not all can be answered.

First up is Animation Director Rob Coleman from Industrial Light & Magic. Coleman has served as Animation Director on Episodes I and II, supervising the team of talented animators - actors in their own right - as they bring to life a variety of digital characters central to the Star Wars saga. He is scheduled to be online on Wednesday, July 2, 6:00 p.m. U.S. Pacific time (9:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern time, or Thursday, July 3, 11:00 a.m. Sydney time).

Heeeee's back. Making good on a promise to return, Producer Rick McCallum has freed up time in his busy schedule for a second online chat. He is currently scheduled for Thursday, July 3, 6:00 p.m. U.S. Pacific time (9:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern time, or Friday, July 4, 11:00 a.m. Sydney time).
