(from the guy who doesn't want to read spoilers). One of the people here at TRW attended a screening Monday night. He came back with one of those fold-up lists of credits (it runs 6 pages). The last page is the cast of characters, which is reproduced below. **** SPOILER WARNING! **** The list of characters includes at least one or two lines which may be construed as giving away elements of the plot of the film (although it's fairly ambiguous). People who want to see the film without anything given away ahead of time should skip to the next news item.

There are also about 50 people in a list headed 'Ewoks'. Only one of them was familiar to me, Felix Silla (who played Cousin Itt in the Addams Family TV show).
