My brother just saw the Episode III trailer on tv. I still haven’t seen it yet. Is there anywhere online we can watch it?

Hmm, according to [starwars.com](http://starwars.com), its only available online to Hyperspace members.
And its supposed to be exclusive so I don’t think it would be showing on tv.

It looks so beautiful…
😃
Hmm, there doesn’t appear to be a joyous, pure, full-of-wonder smiley.

I was a bit hesitant when I heard Palpatine was going to be weilding a lightsaber, but after seeing the trailer, and that absolutely insane look on his face, I got chills.
This is what I’ve been waiting for since I was seven.

Pray to Og that the “Dawson’s Creek in Space” scenes are kept to a minimum.

Heh. Space opera.
Anakin: Come with me Padme, we must flee.
Padme: No Anakin. We can’t run away. I’ll stay here with you.
Anakin: Don’t be a fool. I love you so much. We have to go.
Padme: We’re staying.
Anakin: There is something I must confess. Palpatine ordered me to kill you.
Padme: But you won’t, right?
…
Padme: Right?
- Red lightsaber ignites.
Anakin: Sorry Padme. But you didn’t listen to me.
Padme: You know how to use that thing?
- Quick flick. A blue lightsaber ignites in Padme’s hand
Anakin: WTF??
Padme: I’ve been training with the Jedi Knights in secret. You see, Obi-wan is my lover now.
Anakin: What??
Padme: Yes, we’ve been sleeping together, like, forever now.
Anakin: NOOOOOOOO!!!
\
Palpatine: No Anakin, I… am your father.
Anakin: NOOOOOOO!!!
Sigh… thats what happens when I’m bored at work.

Wait a minute. Do we know who Annakin’s father is?

No. But it had better not be Palpatine.

Didn’t Anakin have no father…?
Something about midichlorians and all that? I seem to have blocked it out…

Holy fucking fuck! At first i was pissed, cause the first half was just scenes from other movies, but the last half more than made up for that! I didn’t think we’d actually SEE vader in the movie, let alone the trailer! And wookies? An army of wookies? FINALLY! Beats the pants off any fucking Ewoks any day! Is there a smiley that’s having an orgasm in their pants? 😃 :eek:

Anakin’s mother doesn’t “remember” a father. She says there “was no father”. But if _Knights of the Old Republic_ has taught us anything, it’s “The Force can make one forget things!!!”
So Palpatine could have had sex with Anakin’s mom and then wiped the memory from her mind.
… man the force is so cool.

Correct me if I’m wrong. But, doesn’t the trailer have the wrong date on it? I thought EpIII was to be released May 25th, the Wednesday before Memorial Day. The trailer says May 19th - which is the Thursday before that.
I was excited before but now I cannot wait. If we can judge anything by the trailer at all this is going to be one hell of a movie.

I went a-Googlin’ and I’m not the only to think this. There’s also a theory that Palpatine somehow genetically engineered Annakin and sold his mother into slavery to make him learn to hate.

Pretty sure its May 19th. 🙂

Actually, :eek: looks quite appropriate. 😃

I thought it was just the midi-chlorians, sneaking into Shmee Skywalker’s bedroom one night.
(After all, no one has sex in the _Star Wars_ universe.)

Well, it _looks_ promising, so hopefully it’ll be better than the previous two.

I figured Qui-Gon Jinn was Anikan’s father.
After all, Qui-Gon is tall, and Vader is tall.
Is Jude Law going to make an appearance as a young Grand Moff Tarkin?
