Obi-Wan as Ben

Carrie Fisher does indeed sound quite English when she says that line, "I recognised your foul stench when you came onboard," to Tarkin. I agree that she does the accent better than Portman.

Did anyone notice that in the trailer for TPM, they had not yet used sound technology to lower Portman's voice, so when she says, "get to your ships!" she sounds higher than when she says it in the film.

Yes, now that yopu mention it. Taking this on to it's next layer I wonder if similar things will be seen in the EpII trailer where certain effects have not happened.

Probably, I bet they will be working on the film until the very last day, which means the trailer will consist of finsihed shots or almost fnished shots. One of the funny things in the TPM trailer was the missing reflection of Maul's lightsabre when fighting OB1.

you noticed that??

And you'll also notice that John Williams had not yet finished the score for TPM, so the trailer just used music from the OT.

Yeah, I didn't notice that until I rewatched the trailer after seeing the film.

I actually thought bthat Ewans accent was pretty close, but then I'm just a crazy Brit!!!!

I liked it that they used music from the OT. It was as if they were saying: "Look, it's the same story. Now you get more of it." Maybe TPM music may have alienated us a little from the saga.

About the lightsabre reflection, I didn't notice it myself. Other SW buffs who seem to have not much else to do in life, pointed it out to me.

I agree with you about the music. I hope they use OT music in the Episode 2 trailer.

I don't know. I wouldn't mind if they use Duel of the Fates in the trailer.

Hmmm, I don't know. Maybe in a dark trailer for Episode 3 that would work but not in Ep2 trailer. IMHO OC.

I think GL will connect the "main theme" to any trailer for ep2 and ep3 to distinguish it as SW, to like, grab the viewer's attention if they're in the kitchen making a snack during a commercial. Then if you're like me, you'll spill salsa on the counter, come running into the living room like a maniac with the labs barking at your heels, yelling to the clueless guy on the sofa with the remote, "TURN THAT UP!!! DON'T CHANGE THAT!!! DON'T BLIP!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!

(Gundark falls on floor, face inches from the screen, drooling profusely and screaming, COOOOOOOOOOOOL !!!)😛

I know exactly what you mean Gundark. Seeing the trailer for the first time is a really cool and exciting experience and it's so hard trying to take in all those tiny little pieces of footage from the film and trying to wonder what they may mean.

Oh, Gundark! The trailer probably comes up on the internet as well so you can run and rerun it as much as you can. One advice though, don't drule on your keyboard.

I know the film isn't due for another 500 some odd days but when will the real trailed be made. My guess is next years superbowl will be the 1st time we see it. Man, I can't even wait for the trailer.

Hopefully about six months before it comes out. Probably november or december 2001.

Good point, queeq, but its BIGGER on the tv screen than on my monitor. And I'll try not to drool on my keyboard, although I still have part of a pizza goldfish stuck down in there. 😛

Actually is should be out at Thanksgiving 2001...🙂

Pizza goldfish? Where can I order one? Sounds yammy... 🙂

Dimmy, I can't wait that long !!! WWWaaaaahhhhhhh!!! (Gundark does her best crying Wookiee impression 🤣 )

Pepperidge Farms makes goldfish. Pizza, Parmesan, Cheddar, Pretzel and something else, I think. My yellow lab can jump two feet in the air and snap them up like flies. 😎

Heheheh...someone's going to have to learn some patience. 😂

I don't like those little goldfish...they keep calling to me...
