Episode 2 teaser includes Jar Jar :>(

[SmiZ]

If you haven't seen the "teaser" for Star Wars episode II, you can check it out HERE.

I can't believe Jar Jar is in this one too. :|

Apparently Lucas just ignored the fan reaction to Episode I, then again, maybe he knows what he's doing.

<<Apparently Lucas just ignored the fan reaction to Episode I, then again, maybe he knows what he's doing.

If he gives Jar Jar a slow, painful, torturous death I will agree.

 

[Napalm381]

Maybe Luke is the secret love child of Darth Vader and Jar-Jar.

<< Maybe Luke is the secret love child of Darth Vader and Jar-Jar >>



That would explain why they got Mark Hamel to play him...


jk to any of you Hamel fans out there.

 

[prodigy]

You know that's a joke right?

 

[zippy]

Episode 1 was the worst movie I've ever had the pain of sitting through. :frown:

 

[loup garou]

umm..you do know that that is fake right? Look at the scene with all the guys charging with lightsabers very carefully. Does that look familiar? That &quot;teaser&quot; has been floating around the net since a couple of months after Episode I came out.

 

[Azraele]

Jar Jar is like Chewy, a sidekick. He's not gonna go away. Besides, he's cool

 

[SuperGroove]

Well...if it is a teaser...they picked some cool actors and a cool actress.

Gabriel Byrne
Samuel L. Jackson
Ewen McGregor
Christopher Walken(w00t! w00t!)

and

NATALIE PORTMAN In all seriousness.....star wars is gonna ruin her career

 

[prodigy]

Exactly werk, the &quot;braveheart with light sabres&quot; should be a dead giveaway.

 

[FrogDog]

There's no way Jar Jar would ruin the movie for you if you were a real star wars fan. He was annoying at times, with the &quot;how rudes&quot; and so forth, but overall he hardly hindered the movie at all IMO.

 

[XMan]

<< Well...if it is a teaser...they picked some cool actors and a cool actress.

Gabriel Byrne
Samuel L. Jackson
Ewen McGregor
Christopher Walken(w00t! w00t!) >>

When is this thing comming out?

PS. Lucas should have done like Lord of the Rings. At least they will come 1 year apart, not 3...

 

[prodigy]

Next summer

 

[XMan]

Episode 2 - May 22, 2002.
Episode 3 -

Fellowship of the Ring - December 19, 2001
The Two Towers - Christmas 2002
Return of the King - Christmas 2003

I like that method much better, but they filmed all three movies at the same time. There was a rumor they were going to realase FOTR this Christmas, 2T this summer, and ROTK next Christmas, but I guess they decided not to.

 

[yakko]

Jar Jar sucks. The should have killed him in the first one.

 

[Zucchini]

3 at once? How did they manage to get a studio to risk 3 large budgets at once? or are they low budget films?

 

[jacobnero6918]

If walken and byrne aren't in it why do they appear in the trailer ?


Also I can't believe Jimmy Smits is in it, I wonder if he's going give someone a tuneup! Sorry but he seems typecast to me.

 

[Bryan]

Walken isn't in the trailer. There IS no official trailer. The clip of Walken is from Sleepy Hollow.

 

[thraashman]

hey there was even a scene from Bram Stoker's Dracula in there. I saw a variation of that one a while back, the one I saw scared me at first until I realized it was a fake about half-way through. it had Leonardo DiCaprio in it, ooh scary thought.

 

[Gatsby]

DOH! This old one... wondeuflly done but not a true teaser

DOH

Gatsby - 717

 

[radiocore]

so...any word on when the real trailers will start to appear? :frown:

 

[nullshark]

For those of you tuning in late...



The trailer is fake. It has nothing to do with Episode II.

 

[SmiZ]

I should have mentioned when I posted that it was a fake, but the whole point of it was to show the basic cast. Jar Jar appears on the cast, which is what I'm annoyed with.

<< 3 at once? How did they manage to get a studio to risk 3 large budgets at once? or are they low budget films? >>



Filming took approximately 18 months (post production for each film should take around 12 months), budget is approaching $300 million US I believe. These movies will change your life. I know they will change mine...I'm obsessed with the books.
