Actor Christopher Lee recently posted a letter on the Christopher Lee Fan Club website. This is what he had to say...
"As many of you will know by now, I have been asked to appear in the next episode of Star Wars, which is being filmed in Australia. I expect to start shooting at the beginning of August. It will be the first time I shall work with George Lucas and it will be a great adventure into the 'Galaxy.' I am, of course, looking forward to this immensely. It will be yet another magical experience."
