Star Wars: AOTC Trailer on Monster Inc

FortKnox writes "Starwars.com has officially announced that Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones 'teaser' trailer will appear at the head of the new movie, Monsters, Inc. Other reports have the full trailer on Harry Potter, but this is still speculation. Ep-I DVD owners should be able to view the trailers on starwars.com once Monsters, Inc. hits theaters." Good thing I'm planning on seeing both of those movies anyway.

You get a special URL that works in conjunction with some proprietary Windows-browser that does some sort of checksum on the DVD-ROM disc (needs to be inserted in your computer's DVD drive).

There's already content on this DVD-ROM only site, still pictures from Episode 2, etc...The few people that have redistributed this content on publically accessible web-sites have, not surprisingly, been spanked by Lucasfilm.

Did I miss a previous story on this? Do you get a special key or something when you buy episode one so that you can view future trailers before they're allowed out to the general public?

Episode I owners have access to exclusive content on dvd.starwars.com. When you insert the Ep.1 DVD into a computer (Mac/Windows omly) it installs an Intervideo player. This player allows access to the exclusive content.

They have already posted a still photo Episode II montage called "Choices."

It's possible that this is what's available on Gnutella. Its a quicktime video, but, like I said, is comprised of still photos and some background music.

According to the popular theories, the clones are basically a precursor to the Empire's stormtrooper army. Basically, the theory goes that the entire stormtrooper army is really just a bunch of clones of one guy, specifically, Boba Fett, or rather, Fett's father.

Apparently, Boba Fett is actually the clone of Jango Fett, who in turn was used as the "father" of the clone army.

Why the big deal with clones? Well, based on the post-original trilogy Heir To The Empire books, the Emperor is pretty adept at controlling large groups of people. Of course, the droid armies used in TPM are useless 'cause they aren't alive, and the Emperor can't control them directly. However, he could control a large group of clones. Something to do with the Force, I guess.

So the clone wars is apparently the beginning of the end for the Republic, with the Emperor (or Senator Palpatine at any rate) at the head of the clone army.

A lot of post-original trilogy stuff from Dark Horse Comics and the novels and such played with clones constantly. In the wicked-cool Dark Empire comics series from Dark Horse, the Emperor returned in a clone of himself. The blue flash the erupted as Vader tossed the Emperor down a shaft at the end of Return of the Jedi was apparently the Emperor's consciousness being released, on its way to a new clone.

The Heir to the Empire series also had a bunch of clones, including clone generators and such. A Jedi clone in that series (Joruus C'Boath, or something to that effect), tried to replace the Emperor as head of the crumbling Empire. I think Luke was cloned, too, as Luuke or something, an evil clone of some sorts.

According to the books and comics, clones are pretty unstable folk and prone to insanity. Joruus was pretty insane.

It's been a while since I've read any of that stuff, though, so I might be a bit cloudy on the details. But that's what I make from most of the lore and the rumors going around.

I recommend checking out http://www.theforce.net. (Check out the Knightquest film if you get a chance -- amazing for a fan flick.)

Man, I know too much about this crap.

Original Article

[90XDoubleSide]

This news was first broken in an article at theforce.net [theforce.net] on information from someone who was at Pixar's cast screening of Monster's, Inc., where Jobs announced that the trailer would be showing with the film and was included with the copy they watched at the screening. The article even has a link to an MP3 file of Jobs making the announcement. At first, this was disputed by people citing internet trailer listings, but has now been confirmed by today's official Lucasfilm announcement.

Working for Pixar and seeing the trailer first... how luckey can you get!
