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.

    Its going to be posted up at starwars.com at the same time its shown on Fox (at 9PM). One has to assume they are going to put it online at 9PM eastern, so westcoasters (and those in the middle) can get an early peek (relative to their time zone) online.

    I'm expecting the net in general won't be working so well for a few minutes there..

  2. More trailers? by mattvd · · Score: 2, Informative

    Maybe this is old news, but Apple lists two trailers (in QuickTime format of course) for Episode II on thier trailer page here:

      The trailer tonight is actually the 4th trailer, overall. Its the final trailer before the movie opens. Its also the longest and gives the most accurate picture of what the main contents of the movie are going to be (read: Lots of Jedi fighting & dying, lots of Jango Fett kicking ass, Yoda kicking some ass, etc).

      Be sure to check it out.

  3. Script Review at AICN by redink1 · · Score: 3, Informative

    According to Moriarity at AICN, the script to Attack of the Clones doesn't suck that bad. But who knows how it will turn out... Oh, and this FOX trailer also starts at exactly 8:59:17.

    Not true, Jar Jar's been in the trailers. Not up front, but in background shots where Sam Jackson is up front.

    He's in the movie. He plays the Gungan ambassador who becomes the ambassador for all of Naboo when Amidala cuts out and leaves with Anakin.

    He's not in the movie nearly as much as he was in the first, though. And when he's introduced for the first time in this one...the audience is going to have a laugh, even (especially?) if they are Jar Jar haters.

  5. It's going to be good! by Anenga · · Score: 2, Informative

    Other than the various rumors at TheForce.net, I found this on AintItCoolNews a few days ago. And it seems that this movie is alot better than Episode I. With Yoda Fight scenes, Amazing scenery of an underground "gotham-like" Coruscant's underworld.

    I'm really excited about this, and can't wait to see it. Finally something else to be excited to see on Fox other than the Simpsons (except latley).

  6. Nope, 8:55 EST by Kenshin · · Score: 3, Informative

    Warning: It's not at 9:00 pm, it's at 8:55. If you tune in at nine, all you'll see is the intro to the X-Files.

    Does it make you happy you're so strange?

  7. Jar-Jar is seen in all three trailers!!! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Informative

    Jar-Jar can be seen briefly in all three trailers. check when Anakin meets Amidala again, Jar-Jar steps to the left from behind Anakin. in nother trailer, Jar-Jar is in a group of people entering the chamber to meet Mace and Yoda. in another, the back of Jar-Jar's head is seen while Obi-wan, Anakin, Padme, and Jar-Jar are sitting around a small table.

    PLEASE do not link directly to the files, I'm testing a new connection and box and would like to see how it responds to a huge, global demand.
