More Star Wars Trailer Info
My prequel obsession has officially crossed the line from
"Mildly frightening" to "Deeply Disturbing". I actually
looked at the Star Wars toys in Toys "We ought to have a unicode
charachter for a backwards R" Us. And
Falcula sent
us a link to a shot by shot summary of the next
Prequel Trailer.
I almost wet myself.
The H shaped ships remind me of the Hitchhiker's Guide building from the book of the same name... It didn't fly by itself, though...

"Star Wars: The Phantom Menace"
Second Trailer Description
Shot 1: A grassy hill. Some vehicles start to slowly emerge from beyond the
horizon.
Shot 2: Large city with a dome-shaped palace on the edge of enormous cliff.
Probably Queen's palace seen from the opposite side than in the first
trailer.
Shot 3: Queen: "I will not condone a course of action that will lead us to
war."
Shot 4: Cool shot of battle tanks slowly hovering above the grass.
Shot 5: Sio Bibble: "A communications disruption can mean only one thing.
Invasion."
Shot 6: A ship flies through space. It has a pointed nose and rear "wings"
very reminiscent of TIE fighters.
Shot 7: A HUGE ship, shaped like a letter "H", landing in the forest
Shot 8: Darth Maul stepping outside from some ship, pod or whatever.
Shot 9: Darth Maul to someone in black (probably Darth Sidious, but he's
not a hologram): "At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi." They are
both standing on some sort of walkway high above enormous city.
Shot 10: Huge fleet (the "H" shaped mothership and many smaller ships)
approaches the planet.
Shot 11: Many battle droids marching in precise formation, guns ready.
Shot 12: Maul to Sidious: "At last we will have revenge." S
hot 13: Battle droids and some weird spider-like robots (at least 15 feet
tall) standing in some sort of hangar, all of them suddenly turning towards
the camera.
Shot 14: Sidious (hologram): "Begin landing your troops."
Shot 15: Several battle droids on STAPs flying past what appears to be the
lower part of the "H"-shaped ship, parked in the forest. It has just opened
and some hovercrafts are pouring out (the same things that decimated the
forest in the first trailer).
Shot 16: Many different animals running through the forest. Someone is
riding at least one of them.
Shot 17: Detail of Qui-Gon, standing in the ship which is shaking.
Shot 18: Obi-Wan: "We haven't much time."
Shot 19: Ship (seems like Queen's) flying from the planet towards something
(not in the picture) that is shooting at her.
Shot 20: Two Nimoidians.
Shot 21: Queen: "The Federation has gone too far."
Shot 22: Many battle droids getting up (they were probably crouching
before).
Shot 23: Wide shot of literally thousands of droids standing in formations
in front of very large vehicles (looking a little bit like enormous
toasters).
Shot 25: Some sort of royal chamber. Several people are standing around,
one of them hologram. Someone says: "The death toll is catastrophic."
Shot 26: Palpatine slowly turning towards the camera.
Shot 27: Queen: "Our people are dying, senator, we must do something
quickly."
Shot 28/29: Sio Bibble (hologram) to Queen: "You must contact me." (This is
cut to look like a single scene but the Queen has different dress in each
shot).
Shot 30: Qui-Gon to Queen: "There's something else behind all this, Your
Highness." Obi-Wan and Jar Jar are standing nearby as well as two
handmaidens looking exactly like the Queen!
Shot 31: Queen looking from the window (like in the first trailer). Qui-Gon
(voiceover): "They'll kill you if you stay."
Shot 32: Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan getting up from the table and swtching their
lightsabers on.
Shot 33: Obi-Wan raising his hand - using The Force. Qui-Gon (voiceover):
"I can only protect you."
Shot 34: The Force probably worked, because three battle droids are flying
away from the camera.
Shot 35: Qui-Gon: "I can't fight a war for you."
Shot 36: Steps of enromous palace. The Queen and several other people are
being escorted down by battle droids.
Shot 37: Palpatine: "I think we're going to have to accept Federation
control for the time being."
Shot 38: Queen, Bibble and several other people are escorted by
battledroids.
Shot 39: Two very cool battle robots which are "transforming" themselves
from spheres to armored "things" with guns.
Shot 40: Panaka: "This is a battle I do not think that we can win."
Shot 41: Queen to Palpatine: "I will sign no treaty, senator."
Shot 42: Large mounted guns firing.
Shot 45: Pilot in the cockpit being hit. He wears those old-style pilot
goggles.
Shot 46: Queen looking from the window.
Shot 47: Jar Jar to Queen: "You say people gonna die?" Or something like
that (his dialect is terrible.)
Shot 48: STAPs are shooting at Obi-Wan in the forest, Qui-Gon deflects
their fire with his lighsaber.
Shot 49/50: Obi-Wan to Boss Nass: "Once those droids take control of the
surface, they will take control of you."
Shot 51: Tanks firing.
Shot 52: Queen: "I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die..."
Some small thing is hovering in front of her (a microphone?).
Shot 53: Dozens of Gungans deflecting laser fire with large see-through
shields.
Shot 54: Senate or something similar. Enormous hall with many small pods,
each of them containing people (ambassadors?). Queen (voiceover): "...while
you discuss this invasion in a committee."
Shot 55: Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon mowing down battle droids with lightsabers.
Shot 56: Two robots from shot 39 firing.
Shot 57: Door opens, several people are running from them. Qui-Gon and
Obi-Wan use the lightsabers to deflect the shots, the Queen is shooting
from her blaster.
Shot 58: R2D2 being "sucked" into the Naboo fighter.
Shot 59: R2D2's "head" emerging from top of the fighter.
Shot 60: Battle droids being hit with laser fire.
Shot 70: Queen (shooting): "Get to your ships!"
Shot 71: Obi-Wan running.
Shot 72: Naboo figters flying away from the planet.
Shot 73: C3PO to R2D2: "They'll never get me onto one of those dreadful
starships."
Shot 74: R2D2 beeping.
Shot 75: Obi-Wan jumps up, kicking down one battle droid with each of his
feet. Looks like Bruce Lee.
Shot 76: Yoda to Mace: "Always two there are."
Shot 77: Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan standing on the balcony above Coruscant. Yoda
(voiceover): "A master and an apprentice."
Shot 78: Darth Maul standing menacingly in the desert, switching off his
lighsaber. Something flies overhead.
Shot 79: Two Naboo fighters flying, one of them explodes.
Shot 80: The pod race. Various pods (each of them different) speeding
through the canyon.
Shot 81: Naboo fighter flying from space into a hangar, rolling wildly.
Shot 82: Enormous jaws opening (probably shot from inside of the sub).
Shot 83: Obi-Wan duelling with Darth Maul. I'd say that he has 9 horns. One
at the top of his head and four on each side.
Shot 84: Jabba The Hutt on the balcony, surrounded by his familiar minions
from the previous Star Wars movies.
Shot 85/86: Obi-Wan duelling with Darth Maul.
Shot 87: Shmi embracing Anakin.
Shot 88: Huge underwater beast grabs a sub in its jaws. Not sure if they
are the same as in shot 82.
Shot 89: A new kind of ship (somehow reminiscent of TIE Fighter) flying
above the Trade Federation battleship.
Shot 90: Another shot from the pod race.
Shot 91: Title: STAR WARS: EPISODE I - THE PHANTOM MENACE

Shot 93: Sidious (hologram): "All of them."
Shot 94: Obi-Wan (screaming): "No!!!"
Shot 95: One of the racing pods crashing in very nasty way.

Shot 100: Anakin running across the field.
Shot 101: Particularly nasty explosion (remember ID4?) involving one very
unlucky battle droid.
Shot 102: End credits.
Shot 103: THE SAGA BEGINS MAY 21st
The trailer is about 2:25 long (with all the credits). All the music is
from previous movies.
I already have the day off work. I told my boss I would quit if he didnt let me go, and I meant it! Also, I found a part from a vortex cooler in my company's instrument shop that looks EXACTLY like a lightsabre. Maybe I'll steal it and dress up for the opening...
Hey, don't worry CmdrTaco, some people have bladder problems. It's nothing
to be ashamed of. Is there a http://www.depends.com/ ?
What happened with Shot 24???
Alright how long until a bootleg shows up ;)
And a backwards N for NIN fans, and the prince symbol, and the Zepplin symbols, and...
WTF? Can't you guys afford a spell checker?
Capitol idea, DM.
I'd love to see a really stuff shirt dork try and
navigate a document in Klingon. HAHAHAHAHA...
\u042f : mirrored 'R' (Ya)
\u0418 : mirrored 'N' (I)
Assuming you use a unicode font like the 'Bitstream Cyberbit'.
Lets go with "deeply disturbing". May 21 isn't that far away is it? HUH? HUH?
This reminds me of waiting for quake1... except instead of running through doom levels with the moniter off or such things I'll just read the trailer info a few thousand times...
Might be nice to be able to write KoRn correctly on a computer :)

Posted by Beejer:
The trailer B does not show up until mid March. THis information is direct form producer Rick McCallum. The running time is approx 2.5 mins and includes all new shots. Both of these statements by RM make this synopsis jibe well. The teaser was first described to Garth at www.darkhorizons.com and was bang on. This trailer got described first to www.theforce.net
As to when it comes out, the only sci-fi film opening in mid-March is Wing Commander. Look there.
Very cool
You could always use the upper-case "Ya" character from the Russian character set. I grew up speaking Russian as a child and always thought it was "Toys Ya Us".

I noticed
It's getting about time to leave everywhere
Why does Lucas do this to us? There is a total frenzy over the movie now, I can only imagine the HORDES and HORDES of people froathing at the mouth whilst standing in line.
There's already such a character. In Cyrillic alphabet, it looks like "ÿ" is pronounced as "Ya" and should be included in Unicode.
(switch Netscape to Cyrillic Windows-1251
encoding to see the character)

Isn't there a section of "proprietary" or "fictional" symbols where they keep the Elvish?
teleny, friend of cats.
"The Federation has gone too far"
I thought this was "A long time ago". I wonder if they will put "Voyager" in it?
I actually thought Rob was joking when he said he almost wet himself. I now know he wasnt because I almost did as well. Was this trailer released yet? I knew one was coming but I didnt know the date.
Note to self:
1) just hold on to march for q3test...
2) then play q3test 'til may 19
3) get in line for tickets on may 21
4) get in line for tickets on may 23
lather, rinse, repeat
I gotta cut back on this caffiene kick..
Am I the only one pumped for Wing Commander?
It will be cheesy, but the games were enjoyable.
Oh, yeah, there's a new Star Wars trailer before it. Hopefully the prequels will not suck like the special edition films with exception of the Empire Strikes Back- the special edition for it was actually an improvement.
A witty saying proves you are wittier than the next guy.
There is a UNICODE char for the backwards R, its the "Ya" sound in Russian.
Toys Ya Us. I like it.
Are there any mirrors to this link - /. effect seems to have struck again...
dont need wun. hukt on fonix werkt for me!
Damn, what did you have to post this while I was at work. I think I creamed my shorts.
