A breakdown of the first minute from the final trailer

LFL Logo, Fox logo etc.

A Theta-Class shuttle and three fighters fly by the camera towards Coruscant.

Coruscant, late afternoon, the Republic Executive Office appears for a brief moment.

Palpatine (close-up, speaking very slowly, deliberately, looking straight ahead, watching the ballet)

PALPATINE
...The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural.

Anakin closeup (extremely focused on Palpatine's words)

ANAKIN
Is this possible to learn those powers?"

Palpatine (close-up, matter-of-factly, facing Anakin)

PALPATINE
Not from a Jedi.

A civilian shuttle turns over the Coruscant cityscape towards the Senate building.

Obi-Wan and Anakin are inside the Temple, walking down stairs.

OBI-WAN
The Council wants you to report on all the Chancellors dealings.

Magna Guards stand with two battle droids.

ANAKIN
That's treason.

Palpatine standing up from his chair in his private office.

OBI-WAN
We are at war, Anakin.

The space battle and some explosion where clone-troopers die.

Anakin moves to take a seat in the Chancellor's private viewing box in Galaxies Opera. We see huge spheres of water levitating over stage with dancers inside them.

Mace (voice over, in a grim voice)

MACE
...Very dangerous putting them together...

Palpatine in his office, patting Anakin's shoulder.

MACE
I don't think the boy can handle it...

Mace & Obi in the gunship over Coruscant.

MACE
I don't trust him.

Tri droids blazing guns, Republic fighter exploding, debris flying by.

Palpatine in his office (concerned).

PALPATINE
I need your help, son.

Palpatine walks away from Anakin:

PALPATINE
I'm appointing you to be my personal representative on the Jedi Council.

Anakin standing in the middle of the Jedi Council room. We see him from behind. Ki-Adi-Mundi and Plo-Koon appear holographic with other Jedi Masters present.

MACE
You're on this Council, but we do not grant you the rank of Master.

Kenobi looks away from Anakin's reaction.

ANAKIN (close-up, shocked)
What?

Sounds good for the fans. However casual viewers of the trilogy may find it confusing.

what's confusing about it

Allot of criticism placed on the PT is the political side of it. Whilst I for one enjoy that many people dont, having the first half of the trailer be about power wranglings will be a bad sign to some.

I'll have to pass on the wookie to MF staff....it's their report.

...it prolly won't be, I'd say the hassle of getting it, hosting it, and the influx of people wanting it combined with the C&D orders from LFL would deter even MF.com, the spoiler site with the biggest set of balls.

...still, it's good to have the old girl back.

*dry humps MF.com*

14 days to go!

Does anyone really know what the casual viewer appreciates nowadays?

I cannot wait for this trailer. 14 days, eh? More like --- FOURTEEN EONS!!!1!

It seems. : (

:chewbacca:

Sounds great to me - really has a narrative of it's own.
I don't agree that casual fans will find it hard to follow, it seems to be crafted with the casual fan in mind:
[deep_trailer_voice]"You may still be wondering why Anakin Skywalker would choose the nasty old man over the honorable Jedi and his stunning wife - Golden Globe winner, Natalie Portman? Take a look - old Palps has a lot too offer, and those Jedi ain't being to nice to little Ani..."[/deep_trailer_voice]

Fuck the casual fans. This film is clearly being aimed at the hardcore fans.

"I heartily agree with you, sir."
But I don't think this trailer sounds hard to follow.
Jedi = berks
Palpatine = bloody smart-arse

Great report, cant wait for part deux. Thanks MF!


Whats a berk?

Anakin is going to be pissed.

In the quiet words of the Vigin Mary... come again? Anakin did not bring balance to the Force by killing Dooku, the Jedi are well aware of this as there is a Sith Master still out there.

I wonder if there will be another AOL exclusive for the trailer

Oh my god! He's his father!



I love how this trailer seems to be building on the Ani/Palpi relationship. Anyone who has seen the OT and isn't even a major fan will certainly start putting 2 & 2 together.

I agree. He ends up having to bring balance to the Force twice.

I don't think anakin was wronged by the council, and i don't think obi felt that way either. I think he knew anakin wasn't ready to be on the council and turned away from his childish reaction.

I don't understand why everyone always cares what casual fans think, for all I care if it had stuff I liked in it, no one but me watched it, I loved it and George Lucas broke himself making it and ended his life, I'd still walk out with a big smile on my face.

well, as much as us hardcore fans would liek to think our voice is all that matters to Lucas (which coming down to it, probably is) casual fans and general moviegoers still make up more than half the gross that any SW film makes. a hard fact of reality that we all have to face.
