Leaked marketing footage

[jasperjones]

Hi guys, just wondering if you've checked out the leaked footage from the LFL marketing presentation? At the moment there are still working links up at Episode-X. Kudos to Too-Chilled for getting this up as it is awesome. Plenty of duel footage and looks at the characters, all set to ACDC's Back in Black. The duel stuff looks like we are in for a treat and Hayden comes across as very Evil. Very cool.

[JediBendu]

ya
clocked that this morning

fight scene looks cool as all f*ck!!!

[Javen]

And where did you all see this?

[jasperjones]

It was at the episode-x boards. Not sure if it will still be up but it is probably on Kazaa now. It's really worth checking out. The duel looks so perfect in term of intensity. And Hayden looks like he as nailed the dark side.

[JediBendu]

the bit where Anakin's hanging off the ledge looks as though it's building of some sort...NOT a volcano style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

[jasperjones]

I love that shot. Best bit is where Anakin backhands Obi-Wan, knocking him backwards. He stalks him then just lrushes him, face filled with rage and they catch each others saber arm's at the wrist before their blows connect. One other thing, I know it's carefully edited footage but everybody seems to be having a lot of fun, which can only be a good thing.

[Darth Holmes]

Its not up any more.

Damn I missed it! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

[xSithHappensx]

The link is down. If anyone else wants to host it...

[Grakkel]

the bit where Anakin's hanging off the ledge looks as though it's building of some sort...NOT a volcano

I'm pretty sure that bit is from the sequence on the Separtist Cruiser. Matches exactly the shots of the elevators and such from the Set Diaries and Webcam. It looked wicked cool. This whole leak is amazing. I am sure LFL will be furious about the leak... but I am also sure that this footage does WORLDS to get us all even more excited about EIII. I am even MORE excited about the upcoming Duel than I was before, which I hardly thought possible.

Did anybody else notice the shots of Mace fighting in Palpatine's office? Looks like there WILL be an actual duel there.

Also, it looked like what's his name, the Wicket Guy, was dressed up in some sort of Yoda garb at some point. Looked like Jedi robes to me.

This video RULES.

[jasperjones]

Yeah, definitely the separatist cruiser. And Mace was gearing up to fight in Palp's office. BTW Carl over at CHUD says that the duel stuff is barely the tip of the iceberg. He says they didn't even go near showing the good stuff. Man it's going to be good.

[Darth Darthy]

Excellent, confirms many things. Hayden was the right guy to go with it seems.

[Darth Badly]

Is this stuff still up?

I had a look but couldn't see it.

[Darth Darthy]

No, its been removed as have all of the captures from the JC. That's why there probably isn't any point in posting any screencaps - they'd just be removed.

[Grakkel]

I understand LFL's concern about this stuff leaking out. Primarily because they'd be concerned that the quality of the DVcam would perhaps get people disappointed and spread bad buzz. Goodness knows some of the SW fans out there wouldn't be happy with ANYTHING Lucas put out. All told, however, with all the positive buzz spreading from those who have seen this video, I would be surprised if there aren't at least a few people over at the Ranch who are perhaps just a teensy bit happy that these shots of the duel and such are getting such a good reception.

[Darth Darthy]

Here's a very small .gif that most folks are talking about. Looks to be the moment Palpy unleashes Force Lightning against Mace while Ani just watches on. Sorry about the low res but its every frame in its entirety so its nice and smooth.

[flo fett]

Ooooh, God I'm annoyed that I missed the link

[Gazelle]

Hey, just seen the clip! Nice. Doesn't give too much away though so unless you've been following all the spoilers you won't really have learned much about the movie.

Er... well, except for the Tantive IV...

[Gazelle]

Another thought I just had - just who is Mace fighting with a lightsabre? The scene of him in Palpatine office cuts back to him rehearsing a lightsabre duel with an unknown actor.

Are we sure that Mace gets a lightning dose? Maybe he and the Emperor have a duel?

It was just a thought...

[brookie]

thank you so much style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[Justin]

Can't see it. Does Lucasfilm employ people to surf the net and find these things?

[Gazelle]

Looks like the Anakin/Kenobi duel involves more than sabres - quite a bit of punching each other's faces going on in this footage!

EDIT: By the way, can anyone with any insider knowledge tell me who the three cgi assailants are with lightsabres that are battling Obi Wan?

I just love the AC/DC sound track with it


EDIT: By the way, can anyone with any insider knowledge tell me who the three cgi assailants are with lightsabres that are battling Obi Wan?

I was thinking that as well - I don't think they'd be droids but it could be the Forcepike thingy shown in Before the Helmet:

It's not a lightsaber, but the Separatist army has come up with new weapons designed to combat the pesky Jedi in one-on-one situations.

[bous]

All I can say is WOW!!!

This WILL be the best of all lightsaber battles

[DarthSilly]

seen the Video. Gotta say I was well impressed with what I so which is good considering since the announced the making of the prequels I've said EP3 will be the best by far.

[goodwije]

Hey guys, just be careful when downloading this thing, it seems to be really popular and so far i have got two piggy backs trying to implant a virus, make sure your virus scanner is running

I know almost nothing about computors, so if that is the wrong terminology or something sorry.

[markusengl]

Any new ideas where to find this? I tried getting it from kazaa, and I only found one person who had it, and the download stopped at 16,384 on both tries....

any other names that people might have it out there as?

They're Grievous' droid henchmen, and as I understand one of those guys may have been standing in for Grievous.

Right click that link and take "Save target as.." or something similiar.

That server has optical cable connection so users shouldn't slow it down much.

[Javen]

That is all it does when I try.

[DukeIrot]

Hmm... it looks to work fine for me. I got over 120kb/s.

[Javen]

Nevermid I have watched twice now.

[goodwije]

well finally!! Thanks Duke. Pretty cool.

[Jjm3233]

Thanks for putting up the links! Very cool footage. Not that I would download pirated material or anything . . . style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif

Dang it! I've been downloading that stupid link for over two hours now! I'm at work and they have a fast connection most of the time! B.G. do you have a better link I can use?

[Brian]

I used the 2nd link that Gazelle provided it too like 3 minutes from my fast work connection.

[Streen]

Does anyone know who Mace is fighting in this clip.......doesn't look like Palp.
Stuntman maybe.....?

That's new ground for Star Wars.

Just saw the video.

Why can't I get these links to work? I have been trying for 3 days.


As you were. A good friend just sent me a link. IT ROCKS

Well this link worked for maddog62 as of 25/01/2004:

Ok, I'm gonna cry! I cannot see these dam videos cause the puters here at work don't have windows media player or any valid media type! AAARRGGHH!!!! And I lent out my monitor at home so no dice there style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif

[Jjm3233]

I have shown this clip to several people and we all agree, this looks like it will rock! This gives me more faith in Episode 3, and has helped to sway some of the undecided.

Makes me giddy like a schoolboy . . .

[Mann]

So this fight is apparently the longest if cinematic history. Like 12 minutes long of just them fighting.

[Gazelle]

TF.N LLC are claiming that Darth Vader appears very briefly in this video about halfway through. Anyone care to enlighten me on this?

[tmi]

hi res screen captures are now up at http://themovieinsider.com/backinblack/

[Thundercracker]

Gazelle At 1:44 in you can see somebody in the Vader suit on the right side of the screen. Hard to tell if it's Hayden though. George is also punching Nick Gillard in the stomach. Heh.

[Darth Vegas]

Yeah that's Hayden in the Vader suit. And it looks to me that the control panel on his chest is slightly different.

Looks like Vayden to me.

[JediBendu]

ya but is it hayden?

[ToxicBob]

Not seen it yet, but hopefully in the next few days, at work at the moment.

Do all these spoilers so far make you all feel that ep3 will be the best out of the PT compared to the spoilers from ep1 and ep2?

I've been trying to download it all morning, but can't get very far.

I have just seen some stills of the leaked film, looks rather good.

[Jjm3233]

It does look like Hayden . . . does anyone know how closely Hayden's stunt double resembles him?

Well, since we know that they intended for Hayden to wear the suit, and we've seen a brief shot of someone who looks like Hayden weraing the suit, my guess is that it is Hayden.

-Otis
I can go for that. If it looks like Hayden inside the suit it probably is. It would make no sence to me to have a stunt double inside the suit who looks like Hayden if he( the stunt double) is going to be hidden inside the suit under the mask.

[tmi]

LOL! How can anybody tell who that is?!? Its 8 pixels by 8 pixels...

[yodasteve]

Just a thought...the three dudes in green and blue suites fighting obi (blue-screen man group??) have got to be royal guards with the lightsaber-impervious force pikes. or does someone else have a theory?

Curse my 56k modem it wasn't fast enough. Ohh Listen to them R2 they're dieing! -Star Wars Refernce Over- I'll just to get one of my friends with a faster internet connection to Download this so I can see it.

[tmi]

all links are now dead

[Streen]

I've answered my own question, it appears that Mace is fighting Anakin in part of this clip. Confirms alot of rumors, and kills that bulls___ about Windu being a traitor.

But also between 1:37-1:38 Windu is fight someone else. It's not Hayden, but a stuntman. If Hayden is doing all of his own stunts, then who is he fighting. ....... Palp.?

Anyone know? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif

[Gazelle]

I wondered if it might be Palpatine, given that the stunt actor he is fighting looks a little like Ian McDiarmid.

wasn't it just the helmet they were talking about, not the full suit?

[badjedi]

if someone has this video downloaded they should go on kazaa and share. i've seen some stills but i want the whole package. and thank you maddog for bringing some sense to this discussion...i.e. why would they have someone who looks like hayden play darth vader?

[Gazelle]

I didn't think Otis was being sarcastic, just building up a logical case.

My question was how closely does Hayden's stuntman resemble him? The thought being that if they had some pick-up work, they may have stuck the stuntman in there. Cheaper, plus they can always CG things later if they choose.

It probably is Hayden.

I hope Lucas posts the whole thing at Hyperspace in a better quality format.

This just in AC/DC has just came out of a meeting with John Williams..... more news at 11.

[kerouac777]

I imagine John Williams at a press conference saying, "No no no.. AC/DC's riff goes 'deduh..deduh..bedaloobah..deduh..deduh' and mine goes 'duhduh, duhduh, debadoodah, duhduh, duhduh.." a la Vanilla Ice.

Oh god yes.

[Seanakin]

I think it's one of the better songs on the album. As opposed to "You shook me all night long," which to me has been a victim of overkill for about 15 years.

And just for the sake of staying on-topic, that footage ROCKS. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif

[kerouac777]

I agree, Seanakin. Completely. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif *edit: sorry for the misspell.

When LOTR was being marketed, I always wondered why they didn't score the trailers with "Ramble On," or "Misty Mountain Hop" or some other such Zep tune.

If Lucasfilms scores the Ep3 commercials with "Back In Black," I'll bet they have a better turnout for the film. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[Seanakin]

More than likely a licensing issue is what kept "The Battle of Evermore" from backing up ads for RotK. That woulda been sweet.

And who knows, maybe GL and the marketing drones have figured out that stodgy doesn't quite cut it anymore. Course, to today's coveted 18-34 demographic, AC/DC circa 1980 may well BE considered stodgy. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif

If anything, it'd be a smooth move to court the gang of fans who've been with the saga since the beginning. Ultimately, of course, a good movie will bring them back in sufficient number.

18 years old or not, one would have to respect AC/DC in a Star Wars commercial. : )

Most definitely..

It would give people something to talk about around the water cooler and generate some interest that may have been lost with the other two prequels.

[yodasteve]

I'd love to hear john williams do something with the flair of Back in Black for the Obi-Anakin Duel. They need something with real rock passion, not just chanting chorus' like in Jedi.

-steve

[Darth_Badman]

Whoa whoa whoa....okay first off....awesome footage....I am digging the new evil persona and the fight just looks like it might be oozing some killer intensity. Second, now AC/DC is without a doubt one of the baddest ass rock bands ever, and Back in Black....yeah awesome. But John Williams' music for the end of ROTJ is simply underrated. I think that the "chanting" makes for an excellent theme. It fits with the darkness that I think a lot of people fail to grasp when Luke lashes out in anger against Vader.

[frootylupes]

the footage rocks, ac/dc sucks. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif

[T-bone]

yodasteve - i'm adding your avatar to the gallery - thanks!

[yodasteve]

yodasteve - i'm adding your avatar to the gallery - thanks!


i appreciate the mention. glad i could add to the gallery!

And AC/DC rocks. But even having said that, i'm not saying we should try mixing genres like in moulan rouge (pardon spelling) old song/new songs or new interpretations becuase it has never been done in SW and now is not the time to change things. i'm just saying take the passion of rock and roll like what you hear in AC/DC and mix that in to the score of the fight scene with obi and anakin.

the jedi music was very deep, and moving, but at the point of the episode 3 duel between anakin and obi, it shouldn't be the same tone. anakin has already fallen to the dark side. there is no forboding. it is over already. he is already lost to the dark side. so this music should just be fernetic and evil! fight scene music. like duel of the fates but faster and less chanting. like hard rock!

[Seanakin]

I guess if ya want the last SW movie to have a feel similar to A Knight's Tale, then it's a good thing.

Personally, I hope the folks in charge don't make the same mistake in trying to out-do themselves in terms of bigger battles and faster action. I don't believe it's why most people still love SW.

The Lucas Lawyers are really clamping down on this one - I guess it really was an accident that it got out. I'm sure they chuckle at the futility of their mission though, especially given the reception its recieved. Faith in Georgey boy has been fully restored except in those mildly unhinged SW fans who eat small rodents for breakfast.

Does anyone here get Entertainment Weekly? (Will explain how this is on topic in a minute)

Nope, don't think we get that in the UK.

I used to get it, but I got sick of all the endless SW bashing. Mostly I just didn't agree with alot of the things written in the magazine.

The wife gets it, why?

[T-bone]

OH it's nothin - I'm supposed to be quoted in there in reference to that leaked footage. Just wondering if anyone's seen it the last few issues or if they do see it to let me know.

[Brian]

I'll check the news stand in the morning.

[T-bone]

I don't know if it was printed already or if it will be. I would think someone would have seen it and told me but who knows... If you see anything, lemme know. It'll probably be something really small - not some big article.

Yeah, their critics really dislike the Prequels, even though they do a lot phony coverage on them; having Hayden and Natalie on the cover a few times, having huge stories on the Prequels' release and then you flip a few pages and it's being totally bashed.

Empire Magazine gave AOTC five stars and voted it one of the best films of 2002! God love 'em. Take that Entertainment Weekly.

The duel looks so perfect in term of intensity. And Hayden looks like he as nailed the dark side.
Do you guys think he's Darth Vader at that point, then? Near the end, when he's walking beside Ewan, Hayden's holding a red "lightsaber". It's at about 2:24 minutes, I think.

[kerouac777]

That's the question I keep coming back to.. I realize that the suit does not a Darth Vader make, however, I want to know if he's been christened a Darth prior to or after the duel.

That's something new to ponder for a bit.

Perhaps the duel is his final test? Similar to Luke having to fight his father?

I hope that's the direction it goes.. that's what I'm imagining, anyhow. I wonder if that will be with obi or Mace, though.

[JediBendu]

I think the duel will signify Anakin fully giving in to the darkside for the first time - the emperor will bestow 'Darth' after he's rebuilt and embraces Sith teachings.

[badjedi]

i think that if anakin has a hand in killing mace earlier in the film that will

make him a sith. i believe he will be a sith before the duel. that is what

im hoping for. i want to see darth vader without the costume, so we get

get a better idea of his character as a whole. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/duel.gif

Well, his first moment of giving in to the DS was against the Tuskens on Tatooine. He could become Sith after the battle with Kenobi, but then why would he have a red saber? He would have had to either change his crystal or construct a whole new saber. Either way, it suggests a conscious embracing of the DS prior to his fight with Kenobi. I would say he's already a servant of the Emperor. It would certainly explain the reason for, and the intensity behind, his fight with Obi-wan.

[maddog62]

I'll keep it simple. Sith before the suit.

[Darth Darthy]

Yup. The suit doesn't make the Sith. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

[Ewok Hater]

Anakin: "Then I am a Sith?"

Palpatine: "No. Not yet. One thing remains. Kenobi. You must fight Kenobi. Only then, a Sith will you be."

[Phil Tinajero]

I have a question. Is this footage the actual footage from the film (minus the CG obviously) or is it just footage of them on the set filming the fight?

my sentiments exactly style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

sure he let the dark side swell in him when he gutted the tuskens, and he'd be letting it grow in secret under palp's tutelage, but only when he confronts Obi-Wan, with the Dark Side as his ally, will he fully embrace it.

both I'd say - some shot's will be included, others taken out during editing

I don't think he'd be fighting him in the first place if he hadn't already fully turned.

By this point in the film he's become Palpatine's personnal guard - he knowlingly serves Darth Sidious, he's been involved in Mace Windu's death, he's killed several Jedi, some of them young padawans, some of them maybe even children. He's slaughtered most of the Seperatist leaders. He definitely isn't the good person he used to be anymore at this point.

Agreed.

By the middle of the movie he'll be already a sith, or even maybe at 1/3 of it.

[cj790]

My opinion is that althuogh he is certainly 'bad' by the time he is fighting Ob1, he hasn't been labelled 'Darth Vader'; I think it would make for a more dramatic rebirth if he were to be given the title only after the corruption of his body.

[Xee Thot]

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif He'll be Darth Anny before that? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif

[cj790]

^ Ummm... no, he won't be Darth- anything. Actions make the bad person, not the name. I'm suggesting that he wont have been officially named with a Sith moniker, but will have conducted evil.
He will have turned to the darkside, encapsulated by his prior actions but also in his fight with his mentor. The audience now knows he is a bad guy, as do the characters in the film. He is, in all but name, a Darth. Only after surviving the fight (and possibly intercut with the birth of the twins?) is he-reborn into his iron shell and (at the same time) given the name: Darth Vader.

[frootylupes]

i kinda hope he is christened vader before the duel. didnt they say we wouldnt see vader fight in his armor but we would see him fight without it?

[Phil Tinajero]

I just saw the footage. I enjoyed it very much, especially the peices of the Anakin/Obi-Wan showdown. They looked very furious, indeed. I just didn't think the "Back in Black" soundtrack was necessary. I would've preferred "Duel of Fates" but that's just me. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

[Terra]

I love the idea of his "rebuilding" being intercut with the birth of the twins - really hits home the symbolism of rebirth and makes Kenobi's "certain point of view" regarding Anakin's death a lot more relevant.

[Phil Tinajero]

I agree. That'd be very symbolic, indeed. It'd show that it's the beginning of a new journey involving the children and their father. The children and their father are being born at the same time, if you catch my drift.

By the way, welcome to the Senate, Terra.

indeed - it would add a new level of gruesome to the saga

Kenobi needs to be exposed for what he is. A liar.

From a certain point of view...

I liked the moment where Anakin was hanging off the ledge. It perfectly mirrored Luke's tumble in Empire, when he was hanging off of the post in Cloud City. Same camera angle and everything.
