Episode II trailers!!!!!

[HeyLynny]

I read in the Star Wars Insider that the Episode II trailers will be out this fall. Does anyone have any other info on this? When in the fall...Oct, Nov, Dec, etc. What movie will the trailer come before? I can't wait to see it!

[Dave]

I read that they might be out with "Planet of the Apes" since that was another FOX movie, but I watched they weren't. I also read at the time that that would have been too early, as last time they came out only a few months before the film itself. I subscribe to a FOX newsletter email so I'll let you all know if I here anything

Clones Trailer Due On Fox

The FULL trailer for Star Wars: Episode II--Attack of the Clones will debut not in theatres but on the Fox TV network on March 10, between episodes of Malcolm in the Middle and The X-Files, the official Star Wars Web site reported. The 2 1/2-minute trailer will then begin appearing in theaters with the debut of Fox's computer-animated film 'Ice Age' on March 15.

Variety, meanwhile, reported that the trailer will also be shown to an industry-only audience at the ShoWest 2002 convention in Las Vegas on March 5. Episode II opens May 16.

Theatre owners got a glimpse of new footage from Star Wars: Episode II on March 5, including a new peek at Yoda, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Producer Rick McCallum presented a new technical reel and trailer for the prequel, which opens May 16, to conventioneers at ShoWest 2002 in Las Vegas.

The footage included a montage of scenes from the film, set to a musical score, the trade paper reported. The new trailer emphasized action, scope and introduced a whole menagerie of new Star Wars creatures, the paper added.

"I know some of you are worried," McCallum told the convention, according to remarks posted on the official Star Wars Web site. "You think that we have made a small intimate love story about Jar Jar Binks getting funky with the Ewoks. Don't worry--you can all relax now. I am proud to have the opportunity to show you our latest trailer, which will be out in theaters in the next couple of weeks."

McCallum added that much work remains to get the film ready for release. "We still have over 300 unfinished visual effects from the last three reels of the film," he said. "Those will need to be completed in an astonishing seven weeks. We started our final mix yesterday. We will be releasing the film day and date in over 60 countries and in 19 different languages. But we will be ready May 16th."

The never-before-seen full trailer for Star Wars: Episode II--Attack of the Clones will debut on the Internet at the official Star Wars Web site on March 10, the same day it premieres on the Fox network during prime time, the official Homing Beacon newsletter reported. The trailer will begin playing in movie theaters on March 15, attached to the upcoming computer-animated film Ice Age.

"With this trailer, we start to look at the story and the state of the galaxy in Episode II," Lucasfilm's vice president of marketing, Jim Ward, told the newsletter. "It sets the stage for what's about to happen and how the characters are involved. We find out that the Republic is on the brink of war, and the Jedi are overburdened in trying to hold everything together."

The 2 1/2-minute trailer, entitled Clone War, culminates with glimpses of some of the largest action sequences ever found in a Star Wars movie and begins to lift the veil surrounding the Clone Wars first mentioned--but never explained--in the original Star Wars movie, the newsletter reported. "In Episode II, we're going to see the Jedi in action like we've never seen them before," Ward said. "We're going to see hundreds of Jedi, hundreds of lightsabers, thousands of clones, in a huge battle. The trailer gives just a hint of what's to come." The trailer airs on Fox between original episodes of Malcolm in the Middle at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT and The X-Files at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

An internal Fox report gives the exact time as 8:59:17 PM ET so if your VCR has an atomic clock....

Thanks to 'Dark Horizons' here it is: a shot by shot description of the full trailer (if your VCR missed it, or like me you can't get to the USA that quickly):

- A two engined silver ship flies into a desert settlement which looks a lot like Mos Eisley did in "Star Wars: Special Edition" (ie. the same circular landing bays)

- Creatures in darkness (Geonasians) approach the inside of a stadium of sorts - sheer cliff walls with steps and little inner cave 'booths' form a circular wall around a flatbed of sand.

- A pterodactyl-like creature flies over a giant wave. A flying Geonasian swoops down on a corridor inside a cave. A shot of a giant dome on Coruscant. Each of the above shots have a short tuba like 'BMPPHH' noise.

- Palpatine in his office talking with Jedi council members. Palpatine: "I will not let this Republic be split in two, my negotiations will not fail" (quick cut of Padme and others staring).

- Mace Windu responding to Palpatine: "If they do, there aren't enough Jedi to protect the Republic. We're keepers of the peace - not soldiers".

- Obi-Wan at a nightclub whipping out his lightsabre and striking down someone approaching him from behind. Traditional SW theme plays in the background from this point.

- Anakin runs and jumps into a speeder. Shot of two speeders flying through Coruscant traffic

- In speeder. Obi-Wan: "You know I don't like it when you do that", Anakin: "Sorry Master, I forgot you don't like flying". Vehicles come head on at the camera.

- In speeder. Obi-Wan: "Well you've lost him", Anakin: "If You'll Excuse Me" and jumps out the speeder. Anakin falls hundreds of metres through traffic, the ground of Coruscant looks to have lava rivers. Obi-Wan: "I hate it when he does that".

- Obi-Wan and Anakin talking in a room. Obi-wan: "Anakin, don't do anything without first consulting either myself or the council" - intercut with shots of them bowing to the council.

- Palpatine talking with Anakin in his office: "You don't need guidance Anakin, I see you becoming the greatest of all Jedi".

- Quick shot of Anakin swishing his blade

- Mace Windu, Obi-Wan and Yoda on a floating chair walk down a beautiful CG corridor with no walls in a giant pillar-filled cathedral bathed in pink sunlight. Mace: "The boy has exceptional skills". Quick cut to Anakin who toys with a floating ball by a window on Coruscant.

- Back in the corridor - Obi-Wan: "His abilites have made him arrogant".

- Anakin talks to Padme: "Excuse Me" (in a condescending tone). "I'm in charge of security here m'lady".

- Camera follows a red ship flying underneath a droid control ship. The four pronged red ship has cables attached to a large bulge at the front which unfurls into a giant solar sail.

- Obi-Wan holographic message: "They are using a bounty hunter named Jango Fett to create a clone army". Intercut with Jango getting up of the ground and raising his arm along with a shot of Obi-Wan's hologram addressing a lot of people in Palpatine's office. His hologram says "Wait" and unfurls his sabre.

- Shots of Jango and Obi-Wan fighting.

- Bail Organa (Jimmy Smits) with a goatee and the ULTIMATE turtleneck sweater says "We must stop them before they're ready".

- Obi-Wan addressing Jango without any armour on in a white medical like environment. Obi-Wan: "Your clones are very impressive". Jango: "They'll do their job well" (sounds like Temeura Morrison got to keep his original accent albeit a bit more formal than usual).

- Jango's ship pursues and fires at Obi-Wan in an asteroid field. Obi-Wan: "Blast, this is why I hate flying".

- Jango's ship fires a large missile, Obi-Wan's ship flys through a hole in a meteor while the missile pursues him.

- Palpatine's office - Mas Amadda (horned blue guy from the first film's senate scene) saying "This is a crisis"

- Awesome shots of Obi-Wan's ship flying through a crevasse as explosion flame follows him, cutting to his ship flying out of a meteor which explodes, sets off a shockwave and crumbles.

- Senate shot, Mas Amadda voice over: "The senate must vote the Chancellor emergency powers".

- Palpatine addresses the Senate: "As my first act, I will create a grand army of the Republic to encounter the increasing threats of the seperatists". Last bit of speech combined with an astonishing shot of thousands of clone soliders in the foreground whilst giant triangular ships (about 7 or 8) take off behind them.

- The Empire music starts in the background. Naboo palace room: Sio Bibble (old guy from the first film who was left in charge of Naboo whilst Amidala was away) talks with several people incl. Anakin: "There hasn't been a full scale war since the formation of the Republic".

- Four giant craft are being fired at as they round a tall rock on a desert planet

- Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) looks upwards in a dark rock room: "You must join me Obi-Wan, together we will destroy the Sith" (cut to shot of Obi-Wan caught in forcefield).

- C-3PO and R2-D2 in corridor and surprised by several Geonasians emerging from a doorway on one side.

- The Jedi council. Yoda: "The dark side clouds everything".

- Geonasian swoops at camera. Anakin thrusts out hand and a group of Geonasians in a corridor go flying back.

- Anakin & Padme stand on a ledge above a conveyor belt of glowing lights, Padme in white robes is about to fall.

- Yoda: "In grave danger you are"

- Dark room, Anakin does a flying somersault up and out of a pit back onto a walkway hitting two Geonasians. This and the next two shots all seem to be set in a dark, steamy alien factory.

- Padme is now on the conveyor belt and runs under a machine to avoid being 'stamped' to death by it.

- R2-D2 flys through the air in the factory

- Three giant spider vehicles (each one is four mechanical legs around a spherical middle with a radar dish at the bottom) and several firing droids run forward on a desert planet.

- The next few shots are within the stadium mentioned at the start. Obi-Wan swings his sabre blocking beams.

- Padme hits a dragon like creature with a chain, as a giant two clawed paw scratches her from behind.

- Multiple Jedi knights fighting with multi coloured blades blocking shots.

- More droids run forward as does a smaller version of the spider mech creature (this one has a ruby red 'eye' and a big gun at the front).

- Giant shockwave in the desert rock from an explosion

- Clone army with guns firing along with a more compact primitive versions of those giant AT-AT land vehicles that attack the Rebel base on Hoth in "Empire Strikes Back".

- Droids on the other side fire back, lots of weapon smoke trails and explosions.

- Padme shoots upwards in the stadium as thousands of Geonasians fly up and away from it.

- Giant egg like Federation vehicles with landing pads lift off.

- Battledroids fire.

- Mace Windu whips his sabre (same shot that appeared in EW).

- Republic gunships launch missiles at a mechanical tower and it explodes. TITLE Graphic

- Yoda: "Begun this Clone War has".

- Obi-Wan with sabre charges at something.

- Battle droids roll out into the stadium.

- Gigantic creature roars and throws down its arm.

- Another awesome shot of the huge Jedi fight

- Anakin with sabre out. Anakin with two sabres fights Dooku.

- Republic gunships sprays down droids with shots

- Battle droid explodes

- A transparent spherical firing tower in a ship fires at something

- Republic gunships soar by camera as in the air and on the ground are two ships which look similar to Imperial Star Destroyers from the original trilogy.

- A little over a dozen jedi with blades out are surrounded by hundreds of battle droids who are moving in for the kill
