The Infamous Episode II Story Boards

Here they are, the infamous Star Wars story boards that started all the ruckus among fans.
I have also included the responce from LucasFilms to their appearance on several websites.


the boards

Boards 1 - 3 show a battle scene between Obi Wan Kenobi and Jango Fett as well as an appearence by the young Boba Fett.

The last 2 boards show a battle between Mace Windu and Jango Fett and the first shots off Count Dooku . They also show two new creatures, the Reek and Poggle the Lesser.
