He said he still thinks they could be a similar hullform; not really possible since the LOA is off by about a factor of two.

That's the seal of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. It and the Republic seal are combined to form the Imperial seal.

Yoda is just too green. His skin is a bit less vibrant it shows in the trailer... I hope somebody noticed that.

Actually, the Yoda puppet was quite green under regular lighting.

Unfortunate. Not only is it unrealistic but it does not pan well with ROTJ and esp. the novelisation.
Connor MacLeod wrote:3.) VEnators are firing blue bolts, not green. What the fuck?
LFL decided that the "Republic" blaster color would be blue awhile ago - apparently the DC-15s were just the beginning (yes - I know, the LAAT/i's fire green, but then again, the AT-TE's also fired blue). In the Clone Wars comics by DHC, the Delta-7 Aethersprite's and the Acclamator's guns fire blue beams.
Connor MacLeod wrote:Also, isnt it a bad idea to be firing beam weapons in an atmosphere?
The clarity and lack of interaction would imply to me low-orbit. I didn't think they were atmospheric. Why do you think so?
Connor MacLeod wrote:5.) That bloody new Jedi STarfighter is fucking tiny. I estimate based on the head in the cockpit its no more than 5-6 meters in width, and most of that is just thin wings! That other fighter.. the Clone trooper one I think.. is a bit larger.. but its still far smaller than an X-wing.
Yeah its silly that they can cram all this junk into such a tiny spaceframe.
Connor MacLeod wrote:6.) I think that in some shots the capital ships are missing at less than a hundred meters distance. :/
Really? All the (presumably) Invisible Hand's beams and the Venator-class's too seemed to hit home.

Is there any reason why Anakin's eyes were red? They started blue, blue when he died, why this change?

Nah...they had a completely different look then lighting they are distinctly red outside with a yellow interior. I'm guessing it's to signify his change to Sith, given that so far everyone but Tyrannus has some funky eye coloring.

It also may be a vision experienced by someone as well and not what he truly looks like.

It could be a subjective element. I've heard elsewhere that it might be an effect added only to the teaser trailer, and may not actually appear in the final film.

You can't hotlink it because it's a bitmap file, silly. Next time save it as a JPEG if it's a picture or a GIF if it's text.

That was awesome.

But was I the only one who noticed the Fireman ship spraying 'water' (or any sort of fire-retardant liquid) on the burning capship?

Things like that are going to hurt the movie.

It probally demostrates his rebirth as Vader. If Lucas would release it sooner we could find out, but nooooooo. We has to wait until next May. Damn you Lucas!! I need to see it NOW!

It is against the rules. That's the entire point of this exercise. Unless you want to get Lord MJ and possibly Mike's asses sued off for having links to pirated material on their server and site, respectively.
It's Rogue, not Rouge!

From what I heard, the teaser will be available to the public on SW.com starting Monday, anyway.

Showing a fire department putting out a fire on the capital ship that Anakin, Palpatine and Obi-Wan are trapped inside of, is going to hurt the movie? Please explain.

No, wait. I think I explained enough. :P
Unfortunate. Not only is it unrealistic but it does not pan well with ROTJ and esp. the novelisation.
Nothing so far suggests this is optimal range of firing. The separatists just got unlucky and were caught trying to escape the planet.
Yeah its silly that they can cram all this junk into such a tiny spaceframe.
Hey, if the TIE fighters did it, the elite Jedi TIEs should be able to fit even more stuff in on a small frame (for a bigger price-tag of course).

Telling people where to find an image file on a web server is sue-worthy? Geez.

Well guys, try Google :P Or email me. or PM me. or whatever. Since you probably already have it from the others in this thread ;)
