In other news, there's a couple of minutes of "the making of ----" type footage that has been leaked

Many Bothans died to bring us this information...

As the other thread was closed:

Anyone see any spoilers in there? Shep? Spoilers? No?

Oh no! Ewan McGregor fights!

The film is ruined.

Vald, shut up. Some people are serious spoiler junkies and it's easier just to post it here.

I missed this thread, my bad, but there are no spoilers there unless you're seriously against knowing anything about the film. Long fight scene, whoop-de-fucking-doo. We all know Vader is going to be born from a cool fight.

I hope this fight makes the film worth it, truly I do.

I agree with you it's a minor spoiler, but then again (as you can see) some people get agitated about it. Especially with out so much as Spoiler

Fair doos, guv. I'll put future stuff in here.

Dude... that rocks.

Lets list the things it (at least partially) confirms (after going over it frame-by-frame):

Anakin falls in the pit
Underwater fight scene
Mace fights Anakin
Vader helmet will appear
Anakin talks with Palpy
Anakin flies a fighter

And some bonus stuff:

Mayhew with Chewie's new fur
C3PO will be gold covered

We also see Natalie Portman in the trailer -twice- which makes it well worth the download

Why's that so shocking? Vader did it at Cloud City.

looks like they caught onto the making of footage thing and when you clicky on it (Or copy/pastes) takes you to cinnamun.com or some crap.

Obi-Wan also did it himself in the Clone Wars cartoons.

Just saw the pirated footage, DAMN, that duel is gonna PWN. I love how they interspersed it with practice footage...

Chardok · Post by **Chardok** » 2004-01-27 08:55pm

I aslo noticed that R2D2 was REAL...perhaps not going to be ALL CGI I hope so.

Darwin · Post by **Darwin** » 2004-01-28 05:00pm

anyone know of a working link to the footage? =)

Post by **Vympel** » 2004-01-29 02:31am

I downloaded something, but it was all practice footage to me. No real footage at all.

Thats it. Theres a tiny bit of finished stuff in there (the Neimoidian) but thats it.

Just the facts of Episode 3.

Ones I liked:

Darth Vader will talk to people via hologram in Ep3

Who doesn't love Vader on the phone? It's scary.

Anakin's fighting style will certainly change as the character goes further towards the dark side.

and

"Darth Vader's fighting style was the toughest [to choreograph]. The skill is mostly balance and having your feet in the right place."

Ahhh ... Vader's fighting style. Not Anakin. Interesting ....

Here's a picture of General Grievous, I think. Stylized since it's from the cartoon, but you get the idea.

"In Episode III, we'll meet General Grievous, the military leader of all the Separatist armies. He's part alien and part robot. Grievous is a master strategist and the greatest hand-to-hand Jedi killer the galaxy has ever known."

Where can I find that footage?

The link in it has nothing I can see.

Dooku will be revielded to be a vampire.
Padme will go out in a homage to Portman's first movie, blowing up herself, anican, dooku

"We will get to see OT Starships in Episode III." - GB

"We will see the next step in evolution of the Republic ship to the Imperial ships." - JK

We will see huge fleets of starships. -DG

If the Raider slaughter bothered you, then prepare for worse. -PH

Sweet....

We will see the younglings fighting, which will include Rick McCallum's daughter (Mousy McCallum)'s Jedi character. -NG

WTF? I wonder how that will turn out. Should be interesting though.

TF.N's Just the Facts wrote:The reason why we do not see organizations like the Trade Federation, Commerce Guild, Techno Union etc. is because they are absorbed by the Empire by Ep4. That's a major reason as to how the Empire gets its vast war machine. Episode III will start that ball rolling, but it's not something that happens onscreen. -PH

I figured as much, to be honest. Pretty cool to get confirmation, though.
