Obiwan80 Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 The trailer of episode II look better than episode I, I hope the movie is much better than the first one. It looks like there is much more jedi action and the storyline is said to be better. It has better actors too like Christopher Lee playing the bad guy!!! Whats your opinion of the trailer???

DashRendar1 Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Doesn't it sound like Yoda says "Cold War"? Maybe it's just me. The battles look awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi_Monk Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 *reads spoiler* I'm happy... glad they're not doing to Dooku what they did to Maul. A kewl character needs more than one movie to evolve, and I never liked the idea of Lucas just throwing out one disposable villian after another until Anakin finally becomes Vader.

thrEEpaGe Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 If I had had more time, I would have written a more thorough description of THE BATTLE <-- hehe if you consider THAT a spoiler, you need help.... while this isnt entirely related, episode ii focuses a lot on politics and economics (the underlying plot is wholly about the two), which i thought was awesome... at the beginning of ep2 (it doesnt give this info in ep2 movie, maybe the scrolling text @ the beginning - i got the more detalied info about ani and obi's mission from the approaching storm (prolude to aotc) by alan dean foster... many systems are threatening to pull out of hte republic, and anakin and obi juan (hehe) have just come back from a mission to ansion, which is a key planet that if seceeded to the republic, would bring LOTS of other systems with it.... but more immediately in the actual movie, there is a uprising in the senate to create a military with the Military Creation Act to combat the increasing risk of bouts and even war with the secessionists...at the head of the opposition is amidala.... i have to go to class, so ill continue this at a later date =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolboi Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 Well I have never doubted that it will suck (cmon, Lucas never could direct and his script for EP1 was AWFUL!), and it seems Im not the only one (granted this guys an idiot and I doubt that he saw the movie, but its a fun read ). Not to say that I wont go see it. After outcast Im so hooked on starwars that Id watch Ep1 again (ok, maybe Im not THAT hooked). However unlike with ep1 I am not expecting ANYTHING out of it. Im only going to see Jango Fett (Bobba rocked, even if he died in a truely pathetic way), dual lightsabers, and Yoda kicking ass (that SHOULDNT be a spoiler for any one on this forum).

Jedi_Monk Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 Three reasons why SW2 is gonna blow SW1 away: 1) Jar Jar is in the movie for all of two minutes 2) Anakin Skywalker is not a "yippy" screaming kiddie, he's a bad@$$ biker with a lightsaber. 3) Natalie Portman in a leather corset. That should be 'nuff said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think Ep II sucks already then you're gonna walk out and immediately try to figure out why you should hate it, thats no fun . Also be careful about what you think isn't spoilers about Ep II, some people actually thought the color of Mace's lightsaber was a spoiler...I didn't understand either...

That should be 'nuff said Anakin is still quite annoying but its an arrogance type of annoying that makes you want to punch him in the face if he was standing right in front of you.

Caldera Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 Yeah anakin definately has increased in annoyance, but in a 'badass' manner. It seriously is the type of guy you would like to punch if you saw him. He is a kid trying to act all 'badass', and that is what bugs me. Obi wan was not like this at all when he was with Qui gonn. Also, the guy who wrote that review (linked in one of the previous posts) is a complete idiot. He is trying to explain how a landspeeder is not scientifically provable. At that point, i stopped reading as a review and started reading just to laugh at the guy. He also talks about how he is a 'professional' and tries to tell holywood stars how to act. Granted, Obi wan's actor is really bad (i mean, was i the only one who NEVER heard him say "you overdid it" in the gungan submarine when Gui gonn 'tranquilized' Jar Jar?). However, obi wan's actor is a very good swordfighter, and that is why i go to watch starwars films Now when i heard Yoda was using a lightsaber...i was really scared. It would be like the Jar Jar messup multiplied by 100. I mean, we all see Yoda as a comical yet extremely wise Jedi Master. I never expected him to fight with a lighsaber. Oh well, i guess desperate times call for desperate measures. ps: Natalie is smokin' hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vestril Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 Just as a point, someone posted a link to this review of Episode II http://www.somethingawful.com/truthmedia/starwars2/ This review is a JOKE, it is filled with idiotic mistakes and its entire point is to piss off nitpicking fans and make them waste their time sending long flames to the writers of it.

Sunshine Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 2 weeks to go and I have yet to see one trailer for starwars on t.v., besides the doritos commercials or whatever. (I live in Ontario). Wondering if it will do as good in the box office as the 1st one? Cause this one doesnt seem to have very good marketing, beside the internet.

Yoda is amazing. By the way, I didn't think that Obi-Wan's actor was bad at all, and his lines are much better in Episode II IMO. Also, just because you have heard 2 lines read badly by Hayden Christensen, you cannot simply assume that he is a bad actor. Most of the lines you have seen in the trailers are out of context. Not only do they not play the right video to go along with the appropriate lines, they do not play the lines in the correct chronological order. Trailers are not made to tell all, only to get you curious about the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
