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.

  1. Teaser? by Knunov · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe I've become numb to such teasing in my old age, but the trailer did nothing to whet my appetite.

    The least they could have done was included a cutaway shot of Natalie's robe falling to the floor, just before her bare, firm buttocks appeared.

    I just teased myself into petrification. I'll be back in a few minutes.

    Hate to spoil it for you but Anakin becomes Darth Vader, his son is Luke. Luke and Vader have a fight and afterwards Vader kill the emperor to save his Luke.

    Could someone make a sort of quick & dirty java ASCII knockoff of this trailer? I'm at work right now and I don't have the administrative privelages to install the software to view this, so I have to wait until I get home, but that is in 6 hours and I don't know if I can wait that long!!!

    *desperately awaiting new star wars footage*

    Who f'ing cares?

    This Ed Wood titled piece of crap is going to totally sUx0r- and we all know it.

    Gee, maybe we'll get some more LAME DRAG RACES, goofy KID-FRIENDLY ALIENS that should all be sent to the camps with the EWOKS, chase scenes with really big fish in which the SAME GODDAMNED NEAR-MISS OCCURS THREE TIMES IN A ROW, more INANE JAR JAR(ack), low-level shibboleths about symboisis as a SOP TO PC, and some love story that would be constitute statuatory rape in all states save for west virginia and delaware. I like how Lucas and Co. relased the rumors last week about Natalie Portman appearing partially nude in this episode- the only way he's going to get geeks back onboard the Star Wars bandwagon after The Phantom Plot. Ooh, meesa hornay.

    Will more Siths drive around on their gay Darth Maul scooters? Will that kid's acting convey any emotion other than 'yippee?' Will Natalie Portman's acting have matured beyond her three emotions (stoic, worried, and happy)?

    WILL WARFARE BE SANITIZED, PC, and BLOODLESS? Will the only things that die in battle be asinine robots that say, "roger, roger?"

    And are unlucky audiences going to get treated to more REALLY FAKE LOOKING COMPUTER GENERATED GRAPHICS?

    Perhaps it's not a lightsaber at all but a Moodsaber®. It's green when he's around big, handsome and studly Obi-Wan, blue around the other guy that doesn't swing that way, and purple around the princess....

    I made the move to Silicon Valley and ran into a friend here. We were comparing notes on who from our school in Vancouver (ECIAD) made it down. We started talking about one guy who was a great animator and got a job at I.L.M.! Instantly we felt envious.

    Turns out he has to animate Jar Jar ....

    Poor, poor guy.... I feel sooo sorry for him.

  9. They used the wrong music!!! by Mustang+Matt · · Score: 3, Funny

    I was hoping to hear Weird Al Yankovic's "I think I'm a clone now" song as the background instead of the typical Star Wars type music.

    All four of those servers are painfully slow. Looks like "Attack of the Clones" is also another term for the /. effect.

  12. The Last Hope by bryanbrunton · · Score: 3, Funny

    In the far distant future...

    After George Lucas is dead. And his copyrights on the original Star Wars material have expired.

    A new film director arises and reshoots the Star Wars Episode I to III as they should have been done.

    This new director focuses on story telling and character development. The new films do not make use of fart jokes, inane action sequences that only exists to have action sequences, and highly annoying animated aliens that only school children can appreciate.

    All you need to know about CmdrTaco is that he actually liked The Phantom Menace.
