Star Wars II Trailer Online

Jager writes: "You can download the new starwars trailer here. Enjoy." Seemed to me as if Lucas was worried about the "love story" emphasis in the previous teasers, and wanted to make sure people knew there would be plenty of zapping and slashing.

    I don't know how it works at any other download sites, but if you go to www.starwars.com it won't let you download the hi-res version without Quicktime Pro. What gives? I want my free, bandwidth-consuming movie trailers, and I don't want to pay for them!

    Admiral: Slashdot? You're belief in that ancient religion hasn't help you conjure up that Episode 2 trailer.

    Vader: I find your lack of faith disturbing, Admiral.

    *Admiral chokes under weight of a full frontal Slashdotting.*

    I have to admit, Im impressed. We took down Apple.

      Oh yes, Apple has been Slashdotted. That's gotta be it. Because, god knows, no one knew about this obscure little trailer before Slashdot brought it to the attention of the masses.

    So they show the trailer on Fox and then tell you to see "Ice Age" in order to see the theatrical version of the trailer...wow. A trailer for a trailer, with an inline hype for another picture. Wonder if the actual movie is that creative... rj

    ...or a Dr. Who fan.

    No CGI monsters on that show, just foam, rubber and a piece of colored glass in front of the camera!

  9. Realism plug-in by jcsehak · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think part of the problem is that with CGI, they don't have the limitations of real life, so they just forget about them. "Hey, let's make the camera fly around the race course at a million mph. Ooo, cool." "Okay, while you do that, I'm going to make my CG character figit around annoyingly while the real actors are talking just because I've got a handle on Inverse Kinematics." WTF? Real life actors can sit still, why can't CG ones?

    I think someone needs to come up with a plug-in for Softimage (or whatever program they use) that will prevent the virtual camera from doing anything a normal camera couldn't do in real life. Like if you moved it too high, it would make you build a virtual crane to hold it in position. Or if you moved it around in the air, you'd get a $3,000 virtual helicopter rental fee deducted from your bank account.
