There is a R2 Dtour mentioned in the newspaper indicating that it is featuring double-sided 8 page pullout poster as follows
Poster 1: Who's related to who in Starwars
This is a good posters for anyone who like to understand the background between the Jedi and Sith in form of family tree and each has a short journal to illustrate what , who and why they are related.. However due to lengthy words content , i will probably have to type out later when time allows. Additionally on each side of the 2 intro of Jedi and Sith, there is a timeline table that briefly illustrate the summary of each episode which i applaud for easy recap.
Below each individual hiearchy diagram introducing the Jedi council and Sith group, there are indication of the code for each group which is similar to an oarth as follows
Code of Jedi
There is no emotion, There is no peace, There is no ignorance, There is no passion, There is serenity, There is no death, There is the Force
Hiearchy of Jedi
Code of Sith
There is a lie. There is is only passion, Through Passion, I gain strength. Through strength I gain power. I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall set me free
Hiearchy Diagram of Sith
A closeup of both Hiearchy diagram of Jedi and Sith
Again out of curiousity i combined the above 2 pages to form a new view of the comparison between Jedi and Sith just out of my own fun...

Poster 2 : Of droids and battleships
Fighters and Assault ships
As indicated as double sided posters, on the machines side, the first page u will is the battleships and introduction of TRI fighter and follow by Jedi Interceptor Follow which are introduction of the older version of the transport and fighting machines from past esp as shown
Full page
TRI Fighter
TO BE CONTINUED ON PAGE 4....
Jedi Interceptor
Additionally, what caught my attention is the pictorial article on SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME that illustrate the progressive transformation cycle of the key fighters and assualt ships as shown
Droids - Brass Band of Brothers
The intro of the droids are interesting as follows ( read it with a robotic voice if u can to mimic the realism that u are one of the droid )
" While I am naturally the best droid, the same cannot be said about some of my metal associates. These droids are designed with a single purpose: To help the good guys ( and some bad guys) get things done. Without us, those fleshbags would be useless"
I believe due to page space constraint, only the major droids are introduced with R2D2 the central of attraction which i believe that picture comes from DK, but good summary that the bio indicated which episode is the droid present and the biggest winners are of course R2D2 and C3PO who have appear in all 6 episodes.

Full poster size with article content
I tried to type out the original content since is not to lengthy and additionally i added picture related to the article i source from other sites to increase your reading pleasure , the article is originally written by Newpaper journalist Tan Dawn Wei which began like this:
It's been an incredibly long wait. And an incredibly journey. But George Lucas has finally come full circle with the mother of all sagas after almost 30 years - hos outer space opus. Starwars, will start playing its last chapter on 19 May, when 20,000 cinema printsin 40 languages are unleashed upon the world.
Even with US$115 million( $189m) spent making this final film and another $95m marketing it, Lucas should have little trouble recouping his money.
As it is, every magazine and every paperhas gone to town about how Revenge of The Sith marks the end of an era.
But there's the other stuff you want to know about Epsiode III:
BYE BAI
No need to look out for Bai Ling's few second of fame as Senator Bana Breemu. - she ended up on the cutting room floor. Is her upcoming spread in Playboy to blame? The 34 year old thinks so. She tearfully told the New York Post that Lucase probably didn;t approve of her shoot for adult magazine.
But Papa Lucas has rubbbished the actress claims saying" My daughter is in that samce scene....(She)was cut as well. My other daughter was in another scene and that was cut too."
So the girls are out, but the boys - including Lucas himself - survived the chops. The director has cameo as blue-faced baron Papanoida at the Galaxies Opera, where Anakin Skywalker goes to have a tete-a tete with supreme chancellor Palpatine.
But blink and you'll miss him.
His so, Jett also makes an appearance as a young Jedi Padawan who is gunned down by clone troopers outside the Jedi temple.
Colour Me Bad
The final duel between Obi-wan Kenobi and Skywalker will be the only scene in the entire series when two characters cross the same-coloured lightsaber.
Hayden Christensen and Ewan Mcgregor spent 2 months trainng for it, and fight coordinator Nick Gillard two years putting it together before Lucas shot it in 4 days..
Darth Buff
Christensen put on 11kg for Ep3 by eating six meals a day. But he couldn;t make up for his kack of height. Lucase has to resort to camera tricks to make him look taller when decked out as Darth Vader- the actor is 12.7cm shorter than David Prowse, who played Darth Vader in the original trilogy. Speaking of the Dark Lord, the first scene in which skywalker becomes Darth Vader happen just eight days before the end of the entire shoot.
When those on the set heard the all-important scene was being shot, almost a thousand people showed up outside the soundstage.
Various Vaders
Christensen has to share Darth Vader credits with five other people. Prowse was the man inside the suit for the first three films; James Earl Jones the booming voice for all the films with Vader; Bod Anderson the man with the moves for the duel scene s in Ep V and VI, and Jake Lloyd the young Anakin.
Just Shoot Me
They were made three years apart, but lucas allowed a short scene for Ep3 to be shot in Tunisian desert while shooting Ep2 so that the team didnt have to return for repeated shoot.
The scene is said to be the one in which Obi Wan delivers the infant Luke Skywalker to his aunt and uncle in tatooine. Ep3 is also the only starwars film shot entirely in the studio. Scenes of Thailand, China, Switzerland were used as background plates for the wookiee planet Kashyyyk.
Return to Revenge
The title, Revenge of Sith, is based on the initial name given to esp 4, which was revenge of the jedi.
Lucas said he had purposely leaked out the name for esp 4 to foil bootleggers. He also said a fan worth his salt would've known it to be false because a Jedi would never seek revenge

Feature : How starwars Changed the world & The expansion of the starwars universe
Not much mainly the same goes around the fanatic fever review of the fan over Ep3 and starwars related and having to analysis what is ILM ( industrial Light and Magic) and how much the toys and related merchandise dividends can made. A bit boring to me and opposite page feature about spoof film, music score and movies that uses the same words e,g, may the force be with us and etc...again it didnt score a point deserve to look at, good for first time reader but baddie for hardcore fan like most of you who knows starwars inside out..
QUIZ: HOW STARWARS GOT ITS SOUND
This is interesting to the fact i have been always wondering what is the background sound made of for most of the starwars sequel adn this page fulfills my dream...so die die no matter how sleepy (o now is 1.40am ) must type out for all to enjoy and sometimes it let me think if the hairdryer sound is the sound of TIE fighter
Innovative sound effects are an important part of the starwars experience
When writer- director George Lucas began planning the production of the starwars: Ep4 - A new Hope i 1977, he approached a young sound designer named Ben Burtt to create an organic soundtrack for the movie.
Instead of using tried-and -true stock sounds, Burtt was assigned to find noises in the real world that could make the starwars universe come to audible life.
For every starwars movie since, Burtt has been a sound designer and, more recently, an editor.
His library of starwars sound effect is now housed at skywalker ranch in Marin County, California and is one of the most unique and expensive in the world
Think you know all about the sound of starwars? Here are the list
On screen image and real world sound
a. Imperial walker - Squeaky trash Dumpster lid
b. TIE fighter - An Elephant bellow
c. Chewbacca - Bear growls( with dash of walrus, dog and lion)
d. R2-D2 - Dry ice
e. lightsaber - Hums from the back of a tv set and an old 35mm projector
f. laser blast - a hammer striking the high tension guy wire of an antenna tower
g. Speeder bike - a P51 mustang plane combined with a P38 lockheed interceptor
h. Luke's landspeeder - traffic on harbor freeway in LA as heard through a vacuum cleaner piper
I. Starfighters - speeding WWII properller aircraft
J.- Lava - wet towel rubbed in mud or marcaroni casserole being squished
K- jabba the Hut movements - wet towel rubbed in mud or marcaroni casserole being squished
L- STAP flying motorcycle - electric razor rubbed on the inside of a metal salad bowl.
Contest: The greatest moments in entire starwars saga
which infact is a contest to join nothing significant to me which i didnt want to bother with some m&m chocolates prize and some movies tickets..
Summary
Hope all the folks here like what i contribute,,,though i must admit the pictures are not good quality due to poor lighting ... anyway enjoy ....
