Star Wars Episode II Trailer Tonight

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-see dept.

Covant was among several to note that Fox is going to air a 2 1/2 minute trailer for Star Wars Episode II tonight, in between Malcolm and The X-Files. I've seen the trailers released so far, and really hope that this one can convince me that Clones isn't going to continue to follow the path to the dark side like Menace did.

  1. No sign of Jar-Jar by satsujin · · Score: 4, Funny

    In all of the three previews, (including the one that's "for DVD owners only) there's no sign of Jar-Jar. Does this mean we're to be spared the tedium?

    Aside, is this particular trailer the same on as is available to DVD owners?

      How did you miss that tall head and those floppy ears? Check out the trailers again, he's next to Queen Amidala in one of the shots


      Who notices Jar Jar Binks when Natalie Portman is on the screen?! Geez, that's sad.

    They basically are telling the whole story in these new trailers. In general, I really don't like the way trailers nowadays just reveal every good bit of the movie.

    Yeah these trailers have shown so much of the second movie that I can already guess that at the end of Episode 3, Anakin will turn to the darkside...Obi Wan will become a hermit living on a desert planet watching over Anakin's son from afar, Palpatine will become the evil Emperor... They shouldn't give away so much of the plot!!

    Every time I hear the phrase 'forbidden love' as the title of the trailer, I have this sudden mental image of Anakin at lightsabre practice. He's dueling with the remote (a-la Luke in A New Hope) and not doing so well. Obi-Wan comes in, and says 'Here, let me show you.' Then he steps behind Anakin, reaches around to adjust his grip, incidentally hugging him from behind in the process. Their eyes meet, cue the Star Wars love music, then it fades out to the words 'Forbidden Love.'

    In the middle of the Tatooine desert:

    Obi Wan: I feel a disturbance in the force.
    R2D2: you look like you need a Pepsi(TM)
    Obi Wan: Ahh. Refreshing!

    Five minute shot of huge Pepsi can rotating in starfield.

    Starship Command Center:

    Darth Vadar: Boy, I'm thirsty.
    Ship Commander: I find Pepsi(TM) to be refreshing.

    Hands Darth Vadar a Pepsi

    Darth Vadar: Ah..Refreshing!

    Five minute shot of huge Pepsi can rotating in starfield.

    In the Underwater city

    Jar Jar: Meesa thirsty!
