Star Wars II (Attack of the clones) Trailer

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the jumping-through-hoops dept.

tjansen writes "The Episode II Trailer is available. You need be a starwars.com member to watch it and must have installed the Quicktime plugin though." I guess thats 2 strikes against me. Glad I saw it in front of Monsters Inc.

    Yes! Thank you! I, for one, find signing up for free things exceedingly annoying. If it's free, WHO CARES WHO I AM? And even if it's not free? Oh, well. Thanks!

  2. I, for one, do not want to see it! by ackthpt · · Score: 2, Flamebait
    I want to go into the theater without any ideas what I'm going to see. Trailers, being the spoilers that they often are, often drive me from seeing a film because I can figure out the story, which is often "attitude" + "fireballs" + "stupid plot", etc.

    Granted this is a Star Wars movie, which I'm required by the Geek Code to see, so I'll go see it when it comes out. Until then it'll be stepping through a mine field of films trying to avoid seeing it. Thanks for the warning about it preceeding Monsters, Inc.

  3. Reverse expectations? by cvd6262 · · Score: 2, Flamebait

    I heard a lot of people whine that one reason Episode I was such a disappointment was that the trailer rocked.

    I guess Lucas figured out that he could make a less-than-impressive trailer so people wouldn't be so disappointed.

    PS - I don't think I saw this much face-sucking in the other 4 movies combined.

  4. Damn! There's Jar-Jar by cvd6262 · · Score: 2, Flamebait

    About half way through, there's a shot of a rather pensive Mace Windu, with Yoda behind him facing the other way.

    Yoda is looking at an approaching group. Among them are the Queen (Natalie Portman!), and Jar-Jar Binks.

    I think I'll wait for the DVD.

  5. A new hope and meaning to... by GISboy · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    "Trailer Trash" which is what non Mac OS/QT Pro users must be named.

    (I'm not trolling or posting flamebait, people, I made that oddball connection and am still grinning. I hope someone sees the humor in it too).

    There is actuall a way to save the trailer even if the ability is disabled...I'll see what I can do about making it into a DivX (now that OS X.1 has ffmpeg to watch DivX's).

  7. Direct Link by macdaddy · · Score: 3, Flamebait

    Here's the direct link to the larger movie. NOTE: They appear to have done something funky with the web server to first check to see if you have QuickTime 5.0 before they let you download anything. If you do not have 5.0, you will not get to download the movie. It's amazing what you can accomplish with a packet sniffer though. :-) The large movie is 12.1MB. Looks more like a slideshow to me though.

  8. You are all a bunch of whiners by Zed2K · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I can't believe how much whining is going on. They call it a teaser for a reason! What did you expect? A download showing the entire plot, introducing all the new characters and some behind the scenes footage? It wasn't called the Star Wars 2 Teaser Collectors Edition! Some of you people really need to get out more.

    1st, what the heck is a "trailor" ?

    and 2nd, it's called a "teaser", but hey don't let me get in the way of your inane rantings.
