It would be really kick-ass if CW showed VSDs at one point.
That´s what I was aiming for. VSD's, AT-PT's, Dreadnaught Cruisers etc.
Leaving most of the new stuff to ROTS.

MF.com is back up again, and T-Bone´s got some juicy spoilers and stills:
http:+//www.starwarz.com/tbone/movie_news/
The Theta-class Shuttle with V-Wing escort is said to be from the opening of the trailer. (Vader´s charred body being taken back to Coruscant.)
I like R2 fighting Super Battle Droids, looks like he´s being held by one of them and head-butted by another!
The one with R2 helping to pilot Grievous´ cruiser with Palpatine to his left is also a classic, as is Palpatine hanging over a chasm (foreshadowing the end of ROTJ?)

What's that big vacuum cleaner-looking thing atop those skinny ships? Is that a gun?

Which picture are you referring to?
The ones with the Cruiser crashing on Coruscant are Fire Ships, spraying it with water or some sort of flame-extinguishing substance.
The V-Wings don´t appear to have big guns (at least not in the picture I´m seeing). They are said to have big engines between the TIE-like wings and the cockpit, though.

I don't know their official name yet. But they're in the space battle above Coruscant. There's a huge flat-nacelle looking thing on its back with a hole in the front.VT-16 wrote:Which picture are you referring to?

Ah, that would be one of the Separatist "uglies". I think there´s two types of them. Don´t know a thing about them, except that they´re ugly as Hell. (Though in a recent pic, one does appear to resemble a Mon Cal ship-design, on the front. I guess it´s the design said to be stolen from the Mon Cals by the Banking Clan.)

Hmm, interesting that Amanda Lucas (GL's eldest adopted daughter) is making a physical cameo in the film.

T-Bone's got a new update. Check it out for screenshots of:
- Palpatine's Theta-class Shuttle escorted by V-Wing fighters;
- the Invisible Hand during it's crash-landing on the Coruscant runway;
- R2-D2 having one of his "hero" moments- distracting battle droids on the bridge so the good guys can get the upper hand after being captured (this is after Anakin kills Dooku- it appears General Grievous and his Magna Guards are still active);
- A Shocktrooper, who will be seen in the Senate at some point. Red markings on their armour (there are three pics, one is a fake modification of an existing ROTS Clonetrooper pic, the other is a drawing, and one is the actual real one);
- R2-D2 face to face with a Super Battle Droid;
- Palpatine hanging for dear life from a shaft after the Invisible Hand has been blown in two by a communications mishap; and
- Palpatine watching R2 do his thing.

These are the two trailer reports from MF.com. A part 3 is expected in the late night.
PART I
February 22 2005
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 Droids 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?
PART II
February 23 2005
In Padme's apartment - Bedroom.
ANAKIN ( to Padme, bitterly)
Obi-Wan and the Council don't trust me.
Huge gun with clone crew, large explosion aboard ship.
Palpatine (V.O)
Learn to know the dark side of the Force...
Anakin grim and focused, listening; then with Padme, at night on the balcony.
PALPATINE in his office (forcefully)
... And you'll achieve power greater than any Jedi.
Anakin briefly fighting Dooku and then the posse entering private office.
Music stops.
The Jedi ignite lightsabers.
MACE
You're under arrest, Chancellor.
Palpatine in his chair carefully controlling his anger.
PALPATINE
Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?"
Close up: lightsaber hilt snaps to Palpatine's hand with audible click.
From now on, 10 drum beats and no other sound - one for each short (second or two) scene
- Posse enter, but this time Sidious jumps in its direction from behind (over) the camera, we only see his back; then Mace in defensive pose;
- Ship (Grievous' fighter) flying away from a planet;
- Obi-Wan in huge control room on Utapau, totally surrounded by battle droids, MagnaGuards and Grievous;
- Capital ships fighting in close quarters, one of them falling down smoking heavily;
- Bail shouting in his speeder, with blaster shots flying by;
- Obi-Wan's fighter flying over Utapau;
- Anakin hanging in the elevator (turbolift) shaft;
- Camera flying down to Mustafar surface;
- Grievous versus Obi-Wan Kenobi duel; we see Grievous from behind only; his fighter and some rocks in the background.
- One-tracked vehicle (tank) speeding on and closing to the camera; Wookiees jump off it, one of them straight on the camera.
Longshot: pillar of smoke over Jedi Temple.

Yet another shot of the big three-way duel from the beginning of the movie.
Looks like Dooku has reverted to a one-handed style for at least part of the duel. From what I've seen of this fight's choreography, it looks to be a visually intricate and impressive duel. Maybe on-par with the TPM big three-way.

So...did Palpatine have the Jedi Temple....rebuilt?Posted: 2005-02-24 12:18am
I don't think it was really demolished, just damaged enough to have a huge fire, I guess.
That's probably the best of the recent images, I think.

I've seen the screenshot- the temple is intact, it's just got smoke pouring out of it. I wonder what kind of troops Anakin brings with him- I'd like to know the significance of "Shocktroopers" besides their being present in the senate.Lord Poe wrote:
