These have ‘deliberate leak’ written all over them, so I’m fairly confident they’ll hang around at least through noon. The Youtube versions are gone, but TrailerAddict has these three and more besides. Enjoy! (Star Trek above, G.I. Joe and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen below.)
Today in The Clone Wars
StarWars.com posts a summary, with commentary from Dave Filoni, of the second episode airing Friday night, ‘Rising Malevolence‘
- The Hollywood Reporter’s blandly positive review.

Today in The Clone Wars: Six new commercials
StarWars.com posted six TV spots this morning. They’re all kind of blurring together for me at this point so I’m not sure if these are new or the same ones that’ve been knocking around, but I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen Dark Day, above. The others: Around the Galaxy, New Apprentice, Never Before Seen, Legends, and Untold Story.
And here are a few more reviews for you: IESB, the AP, and Newsday’s Pet Rock blog. Meanwhile, The Guardian’s Ben Child looks into the ’embargo’ that killed Harry Knowles’ review.
Today(ish) in The Clone Wars
- You want eye candy? io9 has a boatload of publicity pics.
- TV Guide’s August 11th issue joins the hype with four covers and a special CD-ROM (how 1999!) that you’ll only find on the Toys ‘R Us newsstand. Look for it on or after August 7.
- Yet more commercials!

America got that awful Coldplay vid when all six movies came on TV for the first time. What did the Brits get? Two awesome in-universe promos for weather and travel and two almost songvid type things spotlighting heros and villians that completely fail at making me feel embarrassed to be a fan. Spike TV, take notes: Our national pride is at stake. Don’t suck!
Vader Dad. Public service announcements for the win!
Snape is too sexy. This is pretty old (I know you’ve seen the icons) but I’ve never blogged it and I don’t think it ever stops being funny. Note: This is the kind of Flash that will give epileptics fits.
More, more more!
