That's wonderful! And if I weren't downloading something, the refresh rate would actually be good.

How much of the movie did they do on that ?

All of it, I presume.... I got fed up after about 15 minutes though! The real thing is better.

Have any of you seen the latest trailers for Episode 2 then? What do you think?

I haven't seen the episeode 2 trailer, but I heard it left a lot to be desired... they didn't show much action from the movie.

Are you talking about the short "Vader Breath" version, or the longer, "Let's tell some of the story" version?

I've seen both. VB is rather... Quick and it just wets your appitie. Not much else. Kind of a unless trailer though...

The longer version is much better as it begins to tell of the romaince between Anakin & Amedalia. It also begins to show the rage within Anakin that will eventually make him into Darth Vader. (We see him explode with rage in what I think is Watto's shop.)

I saw the long version and thought it was ok, but I think the title 'Attack of the Clones' is just plain stupid. Its like they said 'ok we need a title quick!!!'
toilet cleaner dude' why not, Attack of the Clones?'

Its just so unimaginative and cheap sounding like one of those delta force movies.

But it starts piecing together the bits that were refered to in the Trilogy but we never actualy see. However I do have to admit I don't like the title... If this film is indeed ment to be dark like Empire Strikes Back was then it should have had a much more darker title. Have you seen the Mystery Trailer (you need the DVD to see it)... that is probably the best trailer out of the 3 that Lucas has released.

Just wondering:  We're all waiting for this movie to be "dark" like Empire-but won't the third one be more apt to carry the moniker?  Anakin freaks out, wipes out the Jedi, has some horrible disfigurements, becomes Darth Vader, and the Old Republic collapses...

And yes, the title couldn't suck enough.
