The First Trailer is Here!

Even though I am a Huge Star Wars fan I wasn't that impressed with the trailer. I think the E1 trailer was better. I think the music was used to better affect and the images worked together better. This trailer didn't do that much for me. A few good images but nothing to sink you teeth into. A scrap of plot would have been better. More to think about. Again I only saw the downland.

I'm going to see Monsters Inc. this week so maybe seeing it in the theater will make more of an impact.

 

Azardu: A thousand blessings on you!

 

Teaser indeed. But the LotR trailers are cooler, with the music and all.

 

As stated, this is not the full trailer, just a teaser... did you notice that last fight scene, just before the end? It's Anakin fighting with someone I could not distinguish... but could well be Obi-Wan. I had thought that the transformation to Vader didn't take place until well into the third movie, but looks like I was wrong. Freeze the video just before the end of that scene to get a creepy looking expression on Anakin's face.

Oh, and did you notice what Mace was watching? Appeared to be a hologram of some sort; wasn't that Amidala in it?

 

You know I've slowed down that trailer...
During that fight shot with Anakin, his oppenent has been digitally shadowed so you cannot tell who he is fighting. So it could be anyone....

 

My guess is that it's Palpatine/Sidious.
I hope Anakin gives in to the dark side in this movie, I'd hate to wait another couple of years for that to happen

 

Yah I intended on doing that too (seeing the trailer in the theatre), but I didn't make it last weekend. This weekend is the LAN so I said the hell with it and downloaded that trailer. I'd have to say it's more impressive without the sound. Try muting it, that's what I did. I like it now.

 

Yeah all we know at this point is that Anakin is fighting someone with a red saber. That makes me lean towards somebody like Sidious or even a new bad guy, which Lucasfilm has promised. Remember, always two there are, no more, no less . A master and an apprentice.

Also, note Anakin has a blue saber when fighting whoever he is fighting at the end of the trailer. When we see the shot of him alongside Obi-Wan he has a green saber.

And some more musings...
It's hard for me to picture Palpatine/Sidious doing the lightsaber thing, as is the case with Yoda. Would it not be cool to see Sidious pit his apprenice against Obi-Wan or Anakin while Yoda watches as well. Sidious and Yoda would be influencing the battle, not with sabers, but with other force powers. That would be neat. And I wouldn't be surprised if we do get to see something like this in one of the next two.

**News**

If you have the DVD then I think tommorrow you can use it to see another trailer online. And Harry Potter comes out in a week in the US and will have a new, longer SW trailer on it. That will make its way to the internet as well. Man, first off Harry Potter is going to be huge over here in the US. I believe it already came out in England, maybe someone can confirm this. But I think the kids over here are really into it. Then you add the new SW trailer to it. Holy crap, Harry Potter's going to make a killing.

 

I seem to remember LucasFilm promising that in episode 2 we would see why Yoda is called a jedi _master_, wielding a lightsaber of his own. I could be wrong though...

 

Hey, I heard that too. Imagine a squirt like Yoda wielding a light-saber. Interested in seeing he force-jumps over people

Reply: Yeah right Sir Belisarius

Rumor has it, Yoda will be dual wielding lightsabers...One in each hand!

 

Now that would be interesting. We'll have to see how it plays out.

 

Actually I thought there was a picture of Yoda's Lightsabre in one of the Episode One encylopedias....can't remember the name though....

 

Yoda will transform into a gigantic killing machine

 

Yoda doesn't need a lightsabre! he has his stick, and that withering glare...

 

Yoda Dual-Weilding Light-Sabers????

What is he, a Kensi DC Sorcerer??? I never figured him for the power-gaming sort ....

"There is no try, only do!"

 

First off Mollusken I agree the LorR trailer were better. But SW is SW and has a special place in my heart.

On the Yodi front I read he will force weild his sabor, just one. So no running and jumping pupet.

 

*sigh* Mat, don't embarrass us all.

"Do, or do not. There is no try."

EDIT: Just giving you a hard time Mat... A true Star Wars geek should be able to recite the entire original trilogy verbatim. I haven't quite reached that pinnacle of evolution, but on the other hand I don't get a chance to watch it very often.

Capstone .... get used to it. As my wife (and soon my daughter) will testify, I pretty much embarrase people for a living!
