Cool things:

- Plo Koon getting killed in his starfighter cockpit (presumably by Clones)
- Anakin catching Dooku's sabre and igniting it (about to kill him, obviously)
- A Venator-class Star Destroyer in full-on TesB style, complete with V-Wing fighters flying past
- Grievous' first line! "CRUSH THEM!"

Is it really spoilers if trailers or teasers are out containing the scenes in question? Even I the spoiler nazi I've become lately agree that if its in a trailer or teaser then its fair game. Are there people out there with the willpower to avoid even the trailers and teasers? If so, hats off to them.

They are TV spots - commercials, and I don't particularly like the guy doing the voice over.

And is it just me, or has Frank Oz, once again forgotten how to do Yoda's voice?

Voiceovers aside, very nice. I liked that shot of a Venator flying along in Imperial Grey.

not bad. thanks

Agreed. Best part with the TIES (or predecessors, to be preicse) flying over that small group of Venators; reminds me of the fleet assembling in TESB.

Anyone notice at the end of the Jedi 1 clip, it sounded like OBI said "Hoes on the move" instead of "always."

Good to see. Oooh, it's exactly one month before the show too.

yeah, the voice over sucks. It's far to jaunty. Personally, I think they should go for a more somber tone, but I guess that may not sell toys.

Grievous looks quite good in motion. I recall that there were some concerns that his CGI looked a little cartoonish based on stills.

Yeah shit, didn't notice that, they got rid of the Republic paint-job!

Hmm... Obi-Wan has now utterly come full-circle with "Always on the move...". Grievous and Ties and Venator are awesome.

But I'm jaded by the first two trailers. These new TV Spots are too campy for me...

These TV spots are obviously geared towards kids. Lets not forget the core audience of Star Wars has always been kids and not a bunch of 20 and 30 somethings who debate the technical aspects of a fantasy film.

Or the jaded types who hate Lucas for "ruining their movies"...

I had a witty repartee, but I read what Spanky said, and I realized I can't top that.

Of course, but... I don't know, the voice is too upbeat, and the overall cutting makes me cringe a bit, since it makes me think that's what the whole movie will be like. And I do not wish for a repeat of TPM (and knowing what you think of that film, I'm sure you'll agree ). Fortunately, the 77 page thread above has convinced me that this will be a good film.

Amazing that those managed to suck more then the first three teasers. I realize they aren't oriented for teens or adults, but there's such a thing as going past kid oriented and into the realm of stupidity. The third one wasn't as bad as the first two, but it still sucks, considering Ep III isn't really that much of a kid's movie.

Is there any chance someone can grab a screenshot of the Venators in their gray livery?

Like this?

Anyone else think that might be from the very end of the film?

related to that scene in the trailer where we see some vaguely venator shapped gray blobs in the window behind anakin perhaps?

No, that's near the beginning, during the battle, where they're all coloured. I think this is from the end where:

SPOILER We see ISDs and the Great Weapon.

You know that 'highlight to read' thing doesn't work in all of the BB's themes. The Falcon theme for example it doesn't, while the Black Sould one does. I suggest just minimising the text.

I've posted this twice (in the other thread that this technique was mentioned) so that it won't be missed.

[I have corrected Spanky's post. That does indeed show up clear as day on my screen ~NL]

Thanks for the screen grab, GMJ.

I think there's little doubt that that shot is near the end of the movie. And I'll bet that the next thing seen is a shadow rolling across the Venator in the foreground, with a different angle revealing either an ISD or something larger drifting above.

It's things like these that make you realise what a horrible shock those few people who don't know how the Prequels are going to end are in for.

How much paint remover they used for the whole fleet, you think?

Just fly it into a star's photosphere. Quick dip and...
