Star Wars Comic Character to Appear in Movie Posted By Joshua on December 21, 2001
Starwars.com has a new article featuring a character from the expanded universe possibly making an Episode II cameo:
"We got the call from production to supply reference art of Aayla," said Chris Cerasi, LucasBooks editor. "It's exciting to see a character from the comics be the inspiration of a flesh and blood movie character, now matter how small a part."
The Aayla Secura artwork was sent to the wardrobe and makeup departments to assemble a blue-skinned beauty out of a physically fit female extra. The character will have no dialogue and will be involved in a combat sequence. Since the film is still being edited, it's impossible to know what -- if any -- her end screen-time will be.
