Nerd Attack

Today's Sing-a-long song: "Teenage dirtbag" by Wheatus

I was perusing some Star Wars message boards today (like that's different that any other day. //embarassed smile) and I caught a list of confirmed and possible locations being used for Ep. III. Most of the shooting is going on at Fox Studios in Sydney over the next month and a half, but after principal photography is done, there will be some location work.

So here, courtesty of Ep-X, are the confirmed locales:

New Zealand
Switzerland
Italy

Now here's where I start getting excited. The rumoured locales. They may not be true, but even if one or two of them pan out in my favour...

Como, Italy (Where my sister's best friend lives)
Scotland (Okay, I don't know anyone there well enough to pay a suprise visit)
Czech Republic (Eeeee!)
Toronto, Canada (Super Eeeee!)
Timanfaya, Canary Islands (A popular Czech holiday spot?)

It's interesting no? Kind of like it's my destiny. Out of 5 locations, I have roots in 2. However, recent reports say that Toronto is out, but I'm just going to ignore those. Ohh I'm a scary, scary girl. Seriously though, there was word given in an online chat with the stunt co-ordinator that there will be some girl on girl jedi fighting action in this film. Can't you just see it: Me, working my way through the labrynith of rocks that is Cesky Raj, fighting was will be an ultimately futile battle against imperial forces or somewhere in Toronto that just screams 1977 science fiction (maybe the observation deck of the CN tower?) losing limbs to the Dark Lord of the Sith. I would so rock.

Don't shake your heads at me, whispering "geek" under your breath. You'd do it too if given the chance. So let me have this moment of nerdgasm and share in the joy. I hear it's infectious.
