The Incredibles and an Episode 3 trailer at the same time? Sign me up!

[leo8877]

Cool!  I'm a member of hyperspace and I'll go see The Incredibles, so I win!

[Hetz]

Today is the day!

The Today Show showed a clip of it this morning...



Sidious looks rather impressive in this one. Yoda is going to get his ass kicked...

[leo8877]

I'm a hyperspace member, so I keep checking the official site for release.  Does anyone have an actual time??????    :shock:

[croman]

Seeing the Incredibles tomorrow, looking forward to seeing the trailer!

[disarm]

Seeing the Incredibles tomorrow, looking forward to seeing the trailer!

my thoughts exactly...should be a great movie and a great trailer!

[leo8877]

I can't even get onto the official site.  It's just getting hammered.  Boo!  

[Dimmona]

Just watched it... then watched it again (and again).

Suh-weet is all I can say!  I'll put up some screen caps if anyone wants them.
Edit: here's a quick shot

[farley2k]

I was shocked by how bad the CGI for Yoda was.  It didn't come close to looking realistic.

And I really, really hate Lucas's obsession with dragging in characters from 4,5,6.  Why do we need Chewbacca?  Uggghhh.

[Dimmona]

I made a couple more screencaps and put them here:

Sorry lines at the bottom of some of them - I'm using mspaint to do this at work

[gameoverman]

Thanks for the caps, what's Yoda doing in that one?

[leo8877]

I didn't think the Yoda was bad at all.  Man did Anakin get f-ed up or what?  Hellooooo yellow eyes!!!

[Hetz]

Thanks for the caps, what's Yoda doing in that one?

Yoda is confronting Palpatine/Darth Sidious.

[Dimmona]

Things to note from the trailer (just speculation, but may be SPOILERS so consider yourself warned):

- In the frame with Yoda in the hallway, you can see an Imperial Guard's foot to the left.  In the clip with him holding the lightsaber, you can see another guard's clothes on the right.  Yoda slaughtering Imperial Guards on the way to the emperor perhaps?

- Check out the lightsaber colors: Anakin- blue, Obiwan - blue, Yoda - green, Mace - purple, Palpatine - red.
Notice the color of the lightsaber that Mace is fighting in his brief clip

- Yes, that's C3PO on the Tantive IV.  If you pause it during that scene, there's a reflection on his helmet that kinda looks like a dead character from the earlier prequels.  Just a coincidence, but it's still pretty funny :-)

[weeskwee]

i downloaded it and watched it a few times. now THIS might be worth the wait. wow! :shock:

[Falcon554]

Please Please let it not suck!!!

EDIT: Removed, I guess you have to be a member.  Sorry guys.

[ravenvii]

Umm, why didn't you just post it here and save us all the work?

Aw hell, here's the link, you know what to do.

Right-click me!

EDIT: Well, nope that didn't work. Don't bother.

Alright, has anyone else really thought about what Darth Sidious looks like, and the fact that he and Palpatine appear to be different people now? Unless something drastic happens that is, but I think the make-up on him looks really stupid. Cool to see him with a lightsaber, but he looks really, really dumb under that hood.

On the flip side, I about fainted when I heared the following:

"Lord Vader."
"Yes, Master."
"Riiiisssse."

 :shock:

Enjoy!

There is some speculation that Palpatine undergoes a "transformation" once it becomes known who his alter-ego is.

Well, he'd have to. But here's what gets me. In Return of the Jedi, Yoda warns "Do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor," yet we only got to see him throw some Force lightning around and prove he couldn't fly. Just how extensive are his powers in the Dark Side? If he's a full on Dark Side master, likely the most powerful one EVER, then just what all can he do? Man, I hope we find out. I also like how the trailer doesn't even hint at the two OTHER villains, General Grievous and Darth Tyraneous (Christopher Lee), who are running around. But new Vader footage though... that alone gets me in the theater and yes I know he's not in it all the much.

Its been written in certain novels, that as one uses the Dark Side of the Force, it affects that person physically.  So as one uses the Dark Force, it has a disfiguring effect on that person

[leo8877]

There's a good reason why Palpatine looks like that, but considering it's spoilerific...well you get the picture.

Dude, you're the emperor.  Get some goddamn dental work.  That's just nasty!

Even evil people need teeth!  :mrgreen:

Remember Battle Meditation from KOTOR?  The Emperor is poweral at that skill and that is why the tide turns in Jedi after he dies.  But I'm hoping we get to see some general badassness in Ep3 too.

They prempted the local news in Seattle today to show the trailer ... must be a slow news day.  That trailer was damn impressive.

I don't know, I just wasn't that impressed.  It looks just like the trailers from the last two movies - a bunch of fast action cuts where you can't tell what the heck is going on.  It is great if you are a fanboy who wants to debate why obi-wans saber appears to change construction during what appears to be a single fight with anakin ( There is a 2 page debate on this over at SA... ) but otherwise... meh.  After the mind-rape that was the first two movies of this series, how anyone can be eager about the last is beyond me.

Don't get me wrong - I love star wars and I would kill to see a good ending to the prequels, but it just isn't looking like much has changed from the suckage of the first two.  I'm playing KOTOR right now and honestly, BIOWARE should have written the story and directed the first two movies.  :?   Lucas is a tool, and after a guy tools you twice over ya just gotta take notice...

there are several mirrors available over at movie-list.com...click over to the Episode 3 page and enjoy!  they even have a version at 640x270 res that looks great...bigger than a lot of the links i've seen around

[Ypmur]

I wish they would move it to May 4th because then they could use the date to advantage in their tagline, like:

May the 4th be with you!
