The Official Site updated
with a
pic of Hasbro's collection 2 figs, including Shaak-Ti, Capn' Typho,
Boba Fett, and a Tusken Mother & child. Nothing we haven't seen before,
but noteworthy regardless...
Prequel Potpourri
-12:53 PM Sunday 13, Jan. 2002
Hey there, gang. Yeah I
know, I know. Every time I walk down the street, star wars fans hungry for
news pin me against a wall and ask "Damion, when the hell are you
going to update that damned site of yours??" A quick punch in my gut,
and they're gone. Well, one day I'll update on a regular basis...one day,
if dreams really can come true.
N'SYNC..in or out?
Some conflicting reports here, folks. Just as I was about to pop the cork
on a bottle of champagne, I start hearing that it may be too soon to
celebrate. First off, Joey Fatone (an infamous member of N'STYNC) told Carson "In a year or two, I'll be
living in obscurity with Downtown Julie Brown" Daly that their cameo in
AOTC was cut due to fan reacton. That sounds all well and good, but the
Alpha Female of PR at Lucasfilm, Lynne Hale, insists that only Lucas can
make a decision on that, and he'll only do it when he gets a final edit
close to May. I really don't care either way, to be honest. Sure it sucks
if they're in it, but it's only a split-second cameo.
Updates on other
websites
Yes, the world keeps turning.
My homeboy Tai over at Ep-X has some awesome news about a TON of AOTC
books now available for pre-order (all due out April 22nd), including
Amazon's image of the "Art of AOTC" book cover (I've already
pre-ordered that beauty).
Get 'em while they're hot...
-9:15 PM Saturday 5, Jan. 2002
When it rains, it
pours. This zip folder
contains a whole slew of pics of AOTC prototypes. Could they be fake? I
doubt it; if they are, they're very well done fakes. Anyway, Lucasfilm is
in gestapo mode so download them now!
Awesome new AOTC pics!
-8:48 PM Saturday 5, Jan. 2002
TheSciFi.com has gotten a
hold of a ton of sweet (although blurry) AOTC production photos. The best
one has to be the montage of Dooku...how sweet is that? Check out their
collection of photos here.
Just in case Lucasfilm
sicks the hounds on TheSciFi.com, I'll leave this handy zip file here so you don't miss
out.
UPDATED: N'SYNC in AOTC????
-5:53 PM Saturday 29, Dec. 2001
Wow. Just got back to
updating and already got some major news...albiet BAD news. One of my
sources has told me, believe it or not, that N'SYNC will be in AOTC!
I didn't buy it at first either, but this has been confirmed across the
board by very reliable sources. It makes sense that GL would do this.
Apparently, his daughter's a big fan.
Anyway, although this
is VERY VERY BAD NEWS, I wouldn't puke just yet. They'll probably be extras
in the Nightclub. If we're lucky, we'll just see the back of their heads
for a split second. The worst case scenario: They'll be singing on stage at
the nightclub.....ugh....
Damn you, George.
UPDATE!
I just recieved word from a very reliable source about the details of
N'SYNC's cameo; Apparently, they're each Jedi Knights in the arena battle
on Geonosis. They're only seen for literally a half-a-second, waaaay in the
background getting blown up by droids. A blurry, far background, split
second shot of N'SYNC dying. Not that bad actually......
Late present: Toys, toys, toys...
and the Qui-Gon conspiracy
-5:28 PM Saturday 29, Dec. 2001
Long time no update....
Well, there have been many changes in my personal life, and I just got a
break from very nice few weeks of partying. So, apologies to all. To make
up, here's a bit of a late holiday gift. While I've been away the spoiler
world has gone on. Finally we're getting our first look at AOTC
figs! As Jack Chick so
eloquently once said, "Ummmm....NICE!"
Hasbro's AOTC
summary
First up is the AOTC plot summary that will be appearing on Hasbro's merchandise:
"Ten years after the fight to save Naboo from invasion, the galaxy
is on the brink of civil war. Under the leadership of a renegade Jedi,
hundreds of solar systems threaten to secede from the Galactic Republic. A
courageous Jedi master, his troubled apprentice, and a queen turned senator
are drawn into the heart of the conflict.... and the beginning of
war."
The Qui-Gon mystery
solved???
Head over to Chucko's Aldera.net to
read all about this one. Remember those screen-caps we posted from an AOTC
Making Of video a while ago? It was my contention that that was Liam Neeson
in those pics! I think this may be the confirmation we were waiting for!
New Teaser: "Forbidden Love"!
-2:38 PM Friday 16, Nov. 2001
starwars.com posted the
full Teaser Trailer (appearing nationwide with Harry Potter),
"Forbidden Love" today! Download it here.
The trailer isn't as
good as "Mystery", but it does showcase a lot of important
dialogue in the movie. I like this dialogue a lot, and I'm very happy with
Hayden and Natalie's acting! Hayden IS Anakin...a perfect choice. If you
want to see screen-caps of the teaser, go to TK421- Whereabouts Unknown.
New Insider Pics!
-4:33 PM Wednesday 14, Nov. 2001
JediNet has posted a whole slew of brand
new AOTC pics straight out of the latest issue of Star Wars Insider.
The pics are totally awesome, so make sure you take a look.
BTW: The next teaser
trailer ("True Love") is going to be released online tomorrow!
UPDATE: Nope, not true. Friday.
Update
Want to download the new Teaser?? Go here!!
OH MY GOD......This teaser trailer is absolutely beautiful... A must
see.
Unfortunately, it's
only available for people who have the TPM DVD and a DVD-Rom drive...and starwars.com
won't let you save it to your PC. That sucks because this thing is
incredible...a work of art... Trust me, you'll love this trailer. If you
have the DVD and a DVD-Drive, shove it into your PC RIGHT NOW.
TEASER POSTER!
That Teaser poster from a few weeks back.... Turns out it's the REAL thing;
100% legit. Credit goes to Dark
Horizons.
Official Site confirms it: Two more
trailers coming!!
-3:46 PM Tuesday 6, Nov. 2001
starwars.com finally
confirmed the rumors; YES, THERE WILL BE TWO MORE TRAILERS THIS MONTH!! This friday- Teaser B, an exclusive download for those with the TPM
DVD. November 16th- Teaser C, the full-length teaser trailer complete
with dialogue! It'll be showing in front of Harry Potter. This
is how I feel right now...
Art of AOTC book cover!
-3:34 PM Monday 5, Nov. 2001
The guys at the Dutch
SW Fan Club, echobase.nl
have managed to get their hands on the cover of the upcoming book "The
Art of STAR WARS Episode II: Attack of the Clones". Be sure to go and take a look.
Teaser, TFN, etc, etc
UPDATE: Official Teaser available now!
-11:15 AM Monday 5, Nov. 2001
Bootleggin'
The Official Site didn't want to offer up the trailer for
download..."wait until Monday", they said. Okay... If Lucasfilm
doesn't want to see the net flooded with bootlegs, making the fans wait two
days just so Monsters Inc. could get a financial weekend push from Uncle
George wasn't the right thing to do. Ah well. Ens, don't make us wait too
long for that official teaser today!! UPDATE
Hmmm... TOS offers the official version early in the day? This wouldn't be
an attempt to combat the bootleggers, would it?
Anyway, GO
HERE NOW.
Ein Volk, Ein Chit,
Ein TFN!!
Were you one of the many people who went to the JC Forums asking for
bootleg links in the past few days? I think you'll be interested in a lil'
something...
Read this- Public JC Policy
All done? Now read this- Private JC Policy
Hmmm....
TheFarce.net
Go to this hilarious ingenius site!
To TheFarce.net's webmaster; I tip my hat to you, sir!
About the teaser trailer
-5:20 PM Thursday 1, Nov. 2001
I just wanted to give
you guys the low-down on the teaser coming out tomorrow.
Downloading the
Trailer
ANY teaser trailer that you have downloaded on the internet that you think
is the AOTC trailer..... It's not REAL. I don't care how good it
looks, even if you've seen "new" footage that looks very
convincing. The REAL teaser has NO SOUND EFFECTS, and no music and is only
30 seconds long. If the trailer you've seen doesn't fit this criteria, it
is 100% fake. The bad news is that starwars.com will not be offering
the trailer for download tomorrow. Unforutnately, business and industry
politics won out here so that Monsters Inc. could get a big opening weekend.
Ah well. I shouldn't complain. So, if you want to to see it tomorrow, you
have no choice but to go to a theater and buy a ticket for Monsters, Inc.
But....be sure to ask at the front desk which movie the trailer is playing
with. The theater may not be showing it with Monsters, Inc.
Good luck!
Very interesting...
-5:32 PM Wednesday 31, Oct. 2001
TFN and the JC
forums...ah, these guys are such a riot.
If you'd like to see
something very interesting, click here.
BTW: Happy Halloween. Remember to check your candy for razor blades!
starwars.com has put up
news about the rumored 30-second teaser to appear exclusively in front of
Monsters Inc., starting November 2nd. See the news story here.
Apparently, they've
also put up...the official logo for AOTC. Is this the final version?? God, I
hope not. I don't know about you, but I really dislike this whole
"Episode blah blah" thing. The name of a Star Wars movie should
be the name of the episode, not the episode number itself.... It's
just a very cold and extremely dull way to market a movie. What if we
called TESB "Episode V" instead of "The Empire Strikes
Back"?...yuck.
Plot update
-12:38 PM Sunday 28, Oct. 2001
I've update the plot synopsis with information that has been
floating around for a while. Now the plot's more accurate and has more
details. Check it out.
Jedinet's editorial on TFN
-12:09 AM Sunday 28, Oct. 2001
Recently I've been
wondering whether or not I should come down on TFN publically on this
website. No matter how small this site is and no matter how many visitors I
get, I'm not sure I should waste your time with my personal feelings about
TheForce.net or my feud with it's rulers. But, I wouldn't post anything here
unless I felt that you should know it, and I definitely feel that
the actions of TheForce.net are something you should know.
I think that TheForce.net, directly or indirectly, influences almost every
single Star Wars website, especially those concerned with the prequels. For
a long time now, they've been so powerful and large a website as to
unofficially represent the online SW fan community. Their actions,
their attitudes, and their policies affect us, and those of you who run
your own Star Wars websites might be especially influenced by them.
If you're interested in
the truth and you have time to read about how two men transformed the voice
of Star Wars fandom into a virtual mafia, then read this excellent
editorial.
New "Making Episode II" Video
-12:15 PM Saturday 27, Oct. 2001
Despite our fight with
TheForce.net, the Star Wars world does go on. StarWars.com
put up a new "Making Episode II" video, this time focusing on Ben
Burtt and Matthew Wood, the sound experts of AOTC. Not terribly
interesting, although we do get a juicy still of Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter
in the asteroid chase scene. I just hope they feature Chris Lee in the next
one.
