3rd Star Wars Trailer is Online NOW!!

[the_great_smiddy]

Just to let all you folks know that the final teaser trailer for Star Wars : AOTC is now online. You can download if you go to comingsoon.net

Looks pretty cool!

Try this (http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/s/starwarsii.php) link to download the trailer , it is under 'forbidden love'.

[jroadley]

Somebody post a mirror - not even gonna try and get it from Apples site. Plus the firewall at work doesn't allow quicktime streaming video :(

[the_great_smiddy]

I just downloaded the medium and high res versions from the coming soon link with no problems at all. So get there fast before the rush!!

[JamesW]

Anyone know if there's an MPEG version available to download somewhere?

[dms]

i can't believe it - the tight gits want you to buy qt. before you can play the hi res version!

I've always hated apple, but this completely takes the mickey.

watched teh med. res version instead (like i'm ever going to buy qt ;-) or even try and d/l it from the web somewhere ;-)

this trailer looked worse than the others - i'll go and see the film regardless but the acting/script looks pretty ropey ;-)

At least they have one "bad guy" who they can't bump off "boba fett" ;-( unless its his father or something ;-)))

Download the file, you don't need quicktime pro to watch it then.

[avid fan]

I've just downloaded it at work (so there's no sound for me).

It looks pretty cool (less action, more mood)

AND HOW GORGEOUS DOES NATALIE PORTMAN LOOK?????

Answer - Very

By the way, can anyone tell me who it is that Anakin's having the lightsabre duel with at the end of the trailer?

That's not Boba Fett, it's Jango Fett who I'm told Boba is cloned from.

[dms]

sighs well i sort of guessed it didn't i ;-(

[utero]

can't download it, all I get after the 'click here to play' link is a brief back box then a broken quicktime link pic, I've downloaded the latest version of quicktime but still nothing

any ideas?

Same here. Too many people trying to get it I think.

[utero]

I've managed to download it from kazaa, It's a pretty good trailer that real kicks in when Duel of the Fates plays

[Lenny Nero]

What would really be exciting if Episode III opened to mostly empty theaters and was a huge flop, so we could finally, literally say that Lucas with his CGI ass ran the franchise into the ground.

One can dream :rolleyes:

I haven't been looking at the right websites, because I've only wanted to see official teaser releases.

I'm not interested in finding out the story and who's in it, until it gets released.

Perhaps you can post more spoliers for us.

Hint, those black bars with spoilers are there for a reason.

exactly.

i warned people about this on the other thread (http://www.thedvdforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33259), but my attempts at helping out are so far falling on deaf ears. nice to hear from a like-minded soul.

i only caught half of the first line of answer's post before i averted my eyes, then complained to the mods but unfortunately they haven't edited it yet. i skipped past it to read subsequent posts and to post here myself.

answer: what possible excuse can you have? other than sheer incompetence/ignorance? and even that is no excuse, just a reason. you're not a "newbie" (though even most of those have more sense) so you know how these forums work and that we have spoiler tags. regardless, you also know that you shouldn't post on a thread unless you have read all the existing posts on it so far - and if you'd done that you couldn't have missed those big, black soiler tags.

nice work. :( :mad:

[avid fan]

Oh come on!!!!!

He's only giving you the name of a character - its not like he's given any plot lines away!!!

So you know Dracula's a baddie - considering that's what he plays in almost everything he's done its hardly earthshattering news is it.

[Shepski]

I have got the movie but when I try and play it it tells me I need a compressor. Using QT v4

Help!!!

[LooneyJetman]

I think you need Quicktime 5...

btw -

Hayden's 'dark' look is quite good, speaking personally.

and

I thought that was Darth Maul at the end for a moment, before realising it was a Tusken Raider

Hope not too many of you saw this before I corrected the dodgy spoiler tags!

Anyway, I love the trailers - all three of them...roll on next May!

[CBSKYWALKER]

Hhehee those spolier things arnt working mate youll need to edit your post sharpish.

[arkham]

OMG OMG OMG that trailer is so damn good and it looks like the next one called "black eyes" is on it way too

[Lenny Nero]

WOW!! WOW!
I actually watched it, first I had no video only sound then realized I still had quicktime 4.

It's gona be so cool, very beautiful looking and Natalie Portman is almost the star of it, and it does have a darker, glooming feeling of upcoming events
:clap:

[answer]

As pointed out, I revealed very little but the name of a character. I've edited my post if anybody has a problem with that, but may I suggest you don't walk around any toy aisles for a while, or watch any pre-release television if you'd prefer not to know any more characters names in the film. As for the other "information" I gave, it's pretty clear from the fact that He's got a red lightsaber. Lucas ain't all that subtle with good and evil you know. :)

[nick69]

Does anyone know a link to the trailer that doesnt need quicktime 5?

[SithLordSi]

Very nice trailer! I've got a good feeling about this one, but I'm trying not to get too hyped up, like I did for the last movie. Although I enjoy watching The Phantom Menace, it's by far my least favourite Star Wars film, and nowhere near as good as it should have been. But this is about Attack of the Clones - right? - so I'll shut up and get to the point.

Some cool little things to look for in the trailer (don't worry, no real SPOILERS here...it's all there in the trailer if you look for it (presumably you HAVE seen the trailer if you're reading this thread), but if you're not one to look into this stuff in detail then skip the rest of my post):

Padme's aide [character name omitted] and his Han Solo-esque smirk... Jar-Jar in his new robes (maybe he's matured considerably in 10 years or so?)... how awesome Ms. Portman looks throughout... Natalie's Leia-esque 'do' in certain scenes... a familiar droid hanging around the happy couple... Anakin and Padme in the Lars homestead (where Luke first saw Leia's hologram in A New Hope, no less)... how cool is that shot of Anakin on his speeder?... Anakin's bas-ass look at 1:51 (very Vader-esque)... Christopher Lee's [character name omitted] cloak (very much like Vader's)... look at Lee's 'saber - the handle appears to be at an odd angle, hmmmmm... Palpatine looks considerably older, if you look closely (are those liver-spots?)... the insider of Obi-Wan's starfighter cockpit... OK, coolest thing in the whole trailer - ignore who Anakin's cutting down in the final shot (although it's obvious if you look at the outline of the head), and instead look at his lightsaber... to me it looks like the one Obi-Wan gives Luke in A New Hope, with the slanted base and thicker blade... oh, and the new blue title rules.

I'm a very happy bunny! :D :D :D

[Ono]

OMG!!! I WANT THIS FILM NOW!!







/me goes to construct time machine to whisk me forward a few months.

it wasn't that that i had a problem with - as you say it is only information that lucasfilm have released so far. it was when you went on to say "who is a .... ". i didn't know that bit and didn't want to know.

that said, if you were under the impression that was public domain then fair enough, i take all "aggressive comments" made against you back, especially given the way you responded. the way things seem to be around here of late i worried there might be a few flames going back and forth. nice to see that hasn't been the case.

just a mistake then. guess over-caution might be the best policy? anyhow, all sorted - not a problem for me anymore.

[Robby]

Uh, how did i miss this thread.!!!????

It took me bleedin' ages to download this trailer. It looks ace quality wise, nice and sharp although there was a lot or glitches in it. Nevermind.

As for the trailer, it's looking better and better. I think it's my favourite of the three so far. I like the romance slant it takes plus you get a better understanding of Anakins character.

I'm no Star Wars fanatic but i'm REALLY looking forward to this, so much so i wanna start researching up on these characters. Who is Janga Fett?. Looks good though.

I liked TPM and i know i'm gonna like this one too.:clap:

Roll on May.

[answer]

Nice to settle things amicably round here for a change. :) I'll try and err on the side of caution in the future.

BTW everyone i'm not. PS don't look in here BEN ;)

[phuggard]

Hello all!
I've downloaded the 3rd trailer but haven't been successful with the Mystery one through the DVD. Something is downloaded but whatever it is only takes a couple of seconds & then nothing.
Any ideas?
Cheers, Paul.

[Ben Martin]

you're downloading the "mystery_480.mov" file which is only 8k in size and contains only the first 76 characters of hex code that makes up that trailer.

you need to get a copy which has had that code reattached to the main bulk of the code - which appears masquerading as a text file in your temporary internet files. it's first 76 digits are replaced by x's. do the maths!

there are quite a lot of links on the various 'trailer 2' threads on this forum, or you could download both parts and stitch it up yourself.

[Robby]

Paul, Ben's right. Your best bet is to look in either Dark horizons (http://www.darkhorizons.com) or Jo Blo (http://www.joblo.com) and search for the trailer you want. Then just right click save as or use Download Accelerator if you have it).

A couple of mates got it this way after i told them they couldn't get it unless they had the DVD.

OH how wrong i was. Thank you Lucas!!!!:mad:

That was fun though wasn't it Ben????:D

[JurassicMark]

Does anyone know if the 3rd Trailer is online anywhere in Windows Media Player format, or Real Player format.
I can't download Quickplayer for reasons too boring to go into.

Oh, wow!!! What about that last shot!!! Anakin about to decapitate "someone" (I'm not going to spoil it for anyone)!

I cannot wait to see this movie!

[William Shatners Wig]

Having problems here.

I've downloaded the trailer from the first link posted (it's also one of the links on the Movie-List website) and whenever I try to open the .mov file it loads within Quicktime 5 and then completely shuts it down. It then opens up IE5 and tries to access Quicktime's trailer pages of their website.

Why does it do this? It took bloody ages to download the 20-odd MB file over my 56k connection..... :(

[phuggard]

Thanks for the help all!
Managed to get the trailer from the "Comming soon" link.
Ben, thanks for the reply but I didn't understand it, why when I tried to get it from the official site did I only get the first part?
Cheers, Paul.

[Bingo Bongo]

Saw the trailor before the Harry Potter film yesterday.

Huuuuuuugely Impressive!


Bingo:nuts: :nuts:

[aprout]

Wait a minute! Are you telling me that 'Forbidden Lurve' is showing in cinemas, while 'Mystery' is only available on the web? Madness!

Does it come with a warning; 'The first half of this trailer may cause extreme discomfort & possible vomitting' ?

Looks like Lucas has chosen another 'great actor' to play Anakin.

Mind you, Ms Portman looks mighty fine in leather...

[Ben Martin]

Originally posted by aprout

yes, this is indeed the case. why "madness" though? there is one teaser trailer in cinemas the same as last time, and there will be another trailer in cinemas in march - again, same as last time. mystery was just an additional bonus for the fans.

Looks like Lucas has chosen another 'great actor' to play Anakin.

i think it's a bit premature, as well as unfair, to judge hayden christensen's acting ability on a few glimpses of scenes in a teaser trailer! furthermore, it might be unfair to judge his acting abilities on his appearance in a star wars movie! :D hardly the greatest material ever from a dialogue point of view.

loads of people in america went to see hayden in life as a house last month with the fear that he might be cr*p. all the reports i have heard have said he was great and his acting talents were well above par. anyone here seen it?

[aprout]

Ben - 'Madness' because IMHO, the first half of this 'love' trailer is horrible, hallmark, vomit-inducing sugary pap (apart from how Ms Portman looks ;) ), the second half on the other hand is great.

(& isn't it the 2nd trailer in cinemas, the 1st being the 'breathing' one?)

The 'Mystery' web trailer was great all the way through though.

You could be right about his acting ability, but let's face it, Lucas doesn't seem to care. Judging by that bit in the Phantom Menace doc, he puts the perfomances together in the computer anyway :D

[Ben Martin]

Originally posted by aprout

as far as i know the breathing trailer only played in the states (haven't heard of it appearing anywhere here, apart from on tv) and even there, it was only with monsters inc. and not in all cinemas. anyway, i take your point, but mine was just that there is no reason why mystery should be in cinemas.

each to their own, but i loved the whole trailer. i thought the romance looks like it should add some weight to the developing story, and that's certainly needed after episode I. plus, i want that relationship to be there - after all, it is the catalyst for everything that happens subsequently and without it the story would be a lot worse off (well, there'd be no story!).

anyway, without giving any spoilers away (i'm avoiding them myself anyway) no-one concerned about romance replacing action has anything to worry about. the romance should effectively replace most of the more 'undesirable' elements of episode I while the action should be bigger, more frequent and more involved with the story than ever.

[Chief Brody]

I agree with Ben. The romance aspect of Episode 2 will work beautifully because of our foreknowledge that it is doomed to be ended by tragedy. And it looks to me like Lucas has addressed the issue of stiff, unemotional characters in TPM (people actually SMILE in this trailer!). Hayden and Natalie appear to be likeable and charismatic in the movie.

Of course, that would be because you live, breath and worship the work of Mr Lucas don't you ? And if you try to deny it, I'll ram every Episode II trailer and Mr Lucas thread you participated in, to back up the point ;)

no. it's actually because, like every other movie, episode II deserves a fair crack of the whip before people pan it. if people do indeed dislike it after they've seen it (and i know many will) then fine. and hey, i haven't seen it myself yet and will reserve my own judgement until i've seen it as well, believe it or not. and what do i care if other people don't like episode II anyway?? you might not have picked up that i'm also a manchester united fan (now you can really take a dislike to me!) who grew up in manchester, owns a season ticket and cut his united teeth paying to watch us week in week out for five years of winning nothing - and i loved it. i couldn't care less what other people's prejudices lead them to incorrectly assume about me from the simple fact that i support united. hopefully the comparison is obvious.

that said, yes i love the star wars movies, and am thus naturally biased. but i don't care for the rest of it (books, comics etc). as for the allegation that i "live, breath and worship the work of Mr Lucas", that is going way too far and deliberately misrepresenting me for some unknown purpose. worst of all it implies that i might be a fan of howard the duck!! :eek: after the last time i saw episode I at the cinema in october 1999 i didn't watch it again for over 2 years until it came out on dvd. during that time, the only only star wars movie i watched was the empire strikes back. once. at someone else's house. also, i'm not stupid and i can see all the many faults of episode I and will bitch/moan/laugh about them myself with other fans who i know also still love star wars regardless. but when i watch the film i let them all go (apart from one or two).

even if i was a rabid "fanboy", i wouldn't give a monkey's what anyone else thought about it, nor should i. and what's with the attitude in your post? :( maybe you didn't mean it, but i'd be surprised as it comes across quite aggressive, and very unprovoked. all that talk of "ramming" me with my own posts?? what was that all about?! like they were all 'secret' or something and i'm trying to keep them under wraps but you've blown my cover?!! :D LOL! i don't think so! it's blatantly obvious to everyone that i love star wars - it's not hard to work out, they only have to look in my sig after all! furthermore, if this is meant as bait of some sort then tonight of all nights i'm not rising to it. i've just come back from a preview of jay and silent bob strike back, with it's message of "don't give a flying ---- about what anyone on the internet says about you". indeed.

my apologies in advance if you didn't mean it that way, but that ";)" hardly made up for the sentences that preceded it.

hardly. i've just typed the damn thing and not exactly in any great rush to read through it again. anyhow, i'm only responding out of necessity and saying what i needed to say given your post. if it's a problem, blame yourself.

what's your problem with me anyway mate? just out of interest.

because i don't get it - i post an opinion of a film in the review forum (the sole point of it) in which i slate no-one and you have a bit of a pop. i take this the right way, query how you meant it and reply in a non-arsey way.

than you post the above! :confused:

[Spooky_uk]

nothing against you mate. I get annoyed when people are stuck up there own ar*** though.
Don't take it personally, but anybody reading certain Mr Lucas threads would say you have far too much time on your hands ;)

I have no intention to get into a slagging match with you, feel free to email any further "grievances" to me for my consideration - otherwise just get on and live life instead of worrying over nothing...lifes too short and at the end of the day no one is really interested anyway.

Don't take it personally, but anybody reading certain Mr Lucas threads would say you have far too much time on your hands ;)

you could say that i suppose. but the fact that i'm a fast typer and tend towards medium-to-long posts anyway is the reason for all that copy. that and the fact that i am interested in that subject. loads of people around here post more about their favourite topics, and what's wrong with that?

I have no intention to get into a slagging match with you

good, me neither. as i hope was already clear.

just get on and live life instead of worrying over nothing...lifes too short and at the end of the day no one is really interested anyway.

thanks, but i don't need you to tell me this. your posts have all required me to reply anyway, and people don't have to read any of this if they don't want to.

but as you say, let's leave it at that.
