Ten: EP I Shifts into Overdrive
Recently downloaded the second
Phantom Menace trailer (in a blazing three hours). Besides the
furious action, glorious CGI landscapes, and amazing
battledroids, there were several items I was quite pleased to
behold - details that may not have caught the eye of the casual
viewer:
| Item One:
Dazzling ROTJ-style metal bikini. Scope the slave
Liea outfit that blue-haired fox next to Jabba was
sporting! I reckon Lucas figured that when you've
tapped into costuming genius like that there really is
no point in resisting. Even if this flick tanks (uh,
right) a glimpse of that outfit alone is worth the
price of admission (though still won't be the same
without Carrie Fisher poured into it...)
Item Two: Evil
Goatee. Good to see the mighty Goat being
reinforced as a key element in the Prequels. It has
been my experience that a proper Vandyke requires
about 30 days to sprout - jump on the wagon now and
join the ranks of the Prequel avant-garde.
Spoiler!
Item Three: KITT. The first
trailer had me concerned that all his parts were cut,
but as you clearly saw, you just can't keep the Knight
Rider down. I had been told that he lost the part of
"Vehicular Jedi Master" to that sweet
Starsky and Hutch car - such was apparently not the
case. The scene where young Anakin and KITT bound
gaily across that grassy field chokes me up everytime
I watch it...
