Parts of the Anakin/Obi-Wan showdown will be shown in the trailer.
Has it been some time since we have heard any developments
from Star Wars: Revenge
of the Sith? Man, it seems like it has been. Well, theforce.net
has posted some news on the next ROTS movie trailer [no, its not
out yet], with a pretty detailed description of what's to occur.
ROTS Movie Trailer Description
Now, before I get into the description, it is usually a good sign when trailer
details come out; meaning the trailer is nearly completed. So, I would normally
expect that the trailer should be coming out in mid February or the end
of this January. Unfortunately, the source who supplied the ROTS
trailer details has 'predicted' that the trailer will NOT come out this
or next month. Sort of depressing, but on to the description!
Also note that it seems that will NOT see General Grevious in the trailer.
He is quickly becoming one of the most mysterious Star Wars characters.
The trailer begins with the following exchange:
Palpatine: "The Dark Side of the Force is the pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."
Anakin: "Is it possible to learn this power?"
Palpatine: "Not from a Jedi."
We are then introduced to the political maneuvering of Palpatine, Obi-Wan and Mace Windu. All of them actually want to use Anakin as a pawn in their game (Palpatine makes Anakin his "personal representative on the Jedi Council" while Obi-Wan wants him to "report on all the Chancellor's dealings"). The first minute or so is surprisingly heavy on dialogue and consists mostly of shots of various characters speaking to each other (intercut with short glimpses of evil droids, space battles etc.). We even see how Mace Windu and three other Jedi attempt to arrest Palpatine (he grabs the lightsaber and confronts them). When Mace Windu tells Anakin "You are on this council but we do not grant you the rank of Master", Anakin loses it and joins the Dark Side (Sidious: "Every single Jedi is now an enemy of the Republic"). At least that's how the trailer makes it look.
Then the more "visual" half starts with some very neat scenes like a low angle shot of Anakin marching in front of a Clone trooper army. We see Wookiees on some kind of war machine, the duel in the volcano field, gigantic 10-wheel military transports and actual destruction of the Senate chamber. Everything is very dramatic, several deaths are implied, Padme is seen crying loudly and music from the Emperor duel (ROTJ) is heard.
...When further questioned about the "evil droid", our source confirmed that there wasn't a clear shot of General Grievous but there was one of the bodyguards:
