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.

    It won't let slashdot refer people there. Startup a clean browser & copy + paste the URL, and it works fine. Preemptive slashdot effect nerf? :)

    No, He's definitly there, in the first 15 seconds of the trailer you can still see that Lame attempt at crossing Bill Cosby and a frog in order to piss off anyone over the age of 5 and having half a brain thats functioning.

    Doh! Jar Jar is there! Or at least a Gungan is, check 19 seconds into the movie, right before Queen Amidala says "Annie?" It's on the far left. *sigh*

  9. No by srichman · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, as a previous post pointed out, you can go directly to the large trailer and watch it in regular, free Quicktime. It might give you a referer error the first couple times, but if you click around a bit it'll work eventually.

      I think what some other people have mentioned is correct: open up a brand new browser window and paste in the URL. It just worked for me.

    works every time. Then just click on the starwars trailer button..

    I think the refering page has to be from apple.com for some reason.

    Star Wars Episode 2 release to theaters in US is May 16, 2002; 20th century is aiming to get as near as possibly simulatenous release in the UK.

    Someone already posted it, but in case anyone else is interested, here's the actors bio off of Starwars.com-- seems he's playing a character titled "Count Dooku".

    Dude, thats Christopher 'Fucking' Lee! As in Dracula, The Wicker Man, Man With The Golden Gun, the upcoming Lord Of The Rings etc. The guys an institution, practically. 'Dude who looks like Sean Connery' doesn't even begin to cover it.
