For episode one, the trailers for the movie played on Entertainment Tonight and also my local Fox affiliate’s news program. There are three Attack of the Clones trailers all coming out within the next three and half weeks. Anyone hear if they will be on TV? This movie will be superior to Phantom Menace, so I’m looking forward to it. ---

I have not heard anything yet. Oh, I finished the scriptment you gave me. It looks good. Must…prevent…myself…from revealing spoilers. ---

No, but it’s a very safe bet. ---

Well, in the official newsletter from [StarWars.com](http://StarWars.com), LucasArts said that it will be in theatres only, but who knows. I know that one trailer is on Monsters Inc.(this Friday), one is on Harry Potter(this is the real trailer, with the dark stuff and two minutes long, next Friday), and one only available only online. My hope is that Lucas breaks down and puts the trailers all over television as well. By the way, it might not be saying much to say that this one is better than Episode I, but I will go further and say that from reading the scriptment, it looks at least better than episode VI: Return of the Jedi. If you want to know why, I’ll have to start another thread. ---

Backing up **Mahaloth** , Mr. DVD of [Netflix.com](http://Netflix.com) said he saw an Ep. II trailer in a preview showing of Monsters Inc. ---

I just skimmed through the scriptment. Although I didn’t read it all, it looks like it could be pretty cool. ---

Because it has \_\_\_\_\_\_ in it, and \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ is in it, and \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ happens. Oh, and the coolest part is when \_\_\_\_\_\_ goes up to \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ and says “\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_”. By the way, the first person to say “I have a bad feeling about this” is \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. ---

You can download one of the trailers here: [http://www.theforce.net/theater/trailers/episodeii/index.shtml](http://www.theforce.net/theater/trailers/episodeii/index.shtml) It played fine on my computer but no sound. Don’t know if that problem is on my end or the site’s. ---

That’s pretty fragging cool. It ain’t a fantrailer like they accidently played on the local news channel in Utah, is it? ---

SpaceGhostofArrakis is 100% correct. My apologies for a misleading post.
