(E! Online) A few possible spoilers have apparently been leaked regarding George Lucas' upcoming Star Wars: Episode II. The general overtone of the plot seemed to be more darker and serious than the first episode. And I certainly hope that will be the case when the movie is released. The whole kid thing really didn't work for me... Also, an unnamed source saying Episode II will be a galactic war movie centering on the Clone Wars and the romance between Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker and Natalie Portman's Queen Amidala.

And here's a couple rumored spoilers:

•The Imperial Stormtroopers of the original Star Wars movie are revealed to be clones.

•The true origin of Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) is detailed. Episode II hints that he may be the first of the clones, meaning that the character in Episode I is not the same person portrayed by the late Alec Guinness in the original Star Wars film.

•New Zealand actor Temuera Morrison will portray Jango Fett, the bounty-hunter father of The Empire Strikes Back's Boba Fett. Australian actor Daniel Logan will play the young Boba.

•At the end of the movie, Anakin turns to the dark side and becomes the young Darth Vader because he wants to save the life of someone very close to him.

•Another character known as a good guy will betray the Rebel Alliance.
