New Star Wars Episode II Trailer Out

Posted by michael on from the hype-hype-baby dept.

danov writes: "A new trailer for Star Wars Episode II has been released on Apple's website. It's called "Forbidden Love"." Don't watch this one if you want to be surprised when you see the movie. It gives away most of the plot. You have been warned. Update: 11/16 12:49 GMT by M : If you get "referral denied", just hit reload. Silly Apple.

  1. Yeah, watching it ruined the plot for me... by Colin+Winters · · Score: 5, Funny

    I mean, who was supposed to know that Amidala and Anakin fell in love? And that there would be fighting involving lightsabers? Damn it, Lucas, I wanted the plot to be a surprise! The next thing you know, Obi-wan will push Anakin into lava!

    Doesn't that sounds more like a Ron Jeremy movie than a George Lucas movie?

      Yeah - the finiest sci-fi ever was in fact Lovebone Invasion. The special effects rocked - it actually looked, at the end there, like that woman was getting her ass penetrated by a big, fat, hairy guy with a huge dibber ... oh wait ...

    Hey, I'll give you the plot of the whole film.

    Mainly Geogre Lucas will be making much money by recycling an old and braindead SCI-FI movie be creating new films on the topic which contain no decent storyline but much special effects and computer animated pictures. Because the ending of the last movie of the old ones had left no sensible possibility to create any sequels, Mr. Lucas will have the innovative and cunning idea of creating prequels.
    And now the most important thing of the plot: many coloured things will expode (especially in vacuum with a loud "kaboom !). And some guys will jump around.

      • Mr. Lucas will have the innovative and cunning idea of creating prequels.

      The really clever bit is the way he avoided carefully making any reference to anything that happens in the prequels when he made 4-6, so that the prequels appear to be non-canon and irrelevant at best, contradictory at worst. That was some forethought, George!

      I'm taking bets that Jar Jar turns out to be Boba Fett. Then the rape of my childhood memories will be complete.

    Here's my plan:

    1) Kill the actor playing Annakin
    2) Take acting lessons
    3) Beat out everyone else during the screen test for Episode III so *I* can be the one that gets to be Luke's father, if you catch my drift.

    Imagine if Episode III were rated XXX...

    Perhaps it changes colour halfway through the movie.

    Maybe in the middle of the film, when Anakin is just turning to the dark side, it is purple ?

    All I've got to say is the next movie better be dark. I will give Lucus the whole love story thing in ATOTC. TPM sucked, except for Darth Mule of course. But the next movie better be dark.

    And when I say dark I don't mean "my isn't the night sky lovely tonight". I mean "MY God! They just shoot they poor guys dog!" dark.

    I mean I want to see Dark Vader come out taking candy from babies, kicking old ladies down stairs, pulling on Yoda's ears will singing the theme to South Park.

    I mean eerie dark.
