Small chance of that happening. Lucas doesn't care about EU stuff so we won't be seeing Victory-class, Dreadnaughts or Z-95.

[NGTM-1R]

There are X-WINGs in the trailer.

I'm going to put out a hit on Lucas within the hour.

[TopAce]

X-wings were developed one or two year(s) before the Battle of Yavin. At most, you will see some Z-95s or their predecessprs.

Dreadnaughts, on the other hand, are possible to appear, at least an older variant of it.

[aldo_14]

It's called an ARC-170; this is (some of) the concept art for it

[Flipside]

It does look rather good, Mace Windu certainly appears to have a run-in with Palpatine, which could be more than a bit interesting, and the whole thing appears to have taken a leaf out of BattleStar Galacticas' book, Kudos to them

Spoiler:

and Mace Windu wins that lightsaber fight and is ready kill palpatine then Anaki comes in and stop that then palpatine uses force lightining and throws Windu through the window

I want to kill myself now... but I can't ever resist reading what's in the spoiler boxes. Oh well.

Dough with Fish: did you watch the trailer? The Dreadnaught concept got turned into a clonetrooper transport. And those aren't quite X-Wings, like Aldo said. Nor are the other fighters in it quite TIEs.

[Carl]

Astrerik wings.

Anyway, overall I just hope the movie is good enough to make up for the rest of the crappy series...

[übermetroid]

I am having such a hard time not reading about the plot.  I want to know, but then I realize I will have more fun if I dont, its back and fourth.

So - anyone wanna give me odds that that volcanic planet is going to be Sullust?

It'd be cool if it was, but knowing Lucas, he'd rather just make up some random one rather than trying to link together the old movies with the new. I mean, Naboo was just crying out to be Alderaan.

That volcanic planet is Mustafar

Naboo should've. And I want this to be Sullust too. It'd just be a little nod to something small from the original trilogy... something that wouldn't be dicking with everything we know and like.

[TopAce]

Sullustans apparently won't play part in Episode III, according to BW's link. Why should that planet be their homeworld?

Now that you mention Naboo: What do you think has become of Naboo? It hasn't been used anywhere in the era of the Civil War.

[Ghost]

Has anyone else noticed the parallels between this and Return of the Jedi? It shows Anakin(instead of Luke) in front of a window with the space combat(specifically a Star Destroyer predecessor) in the background... The name is obviously similar... And plus the scene with a lightsaber duel between Anakin and Obiwan(I think), in front of Palpatine on his throne....

[TopAce]

It's a Sih tradition that if a maverick Jedi is to take the place of the Sith Apprentice, they should fight in front of the Master. It's nothing special. Palpatine was so sure that Luke would join the Dark Side. After he defeated Vader, he tried to lure him finally to the dark side and urged him to take his father's place, knowing a Dark Luke will be more powerful than the Machine Anaking Skywalker.

[Corsair]

Naboo is a pretty backwater planet, from what I understand. It was more or less a miracle that it got so much attention during the Clone Wars. Most likely, it was either more or less forgotten or it was razed by the newly-founded Empire for some purpose or another.

[Flipside]

I'd send in the Star Destroyer just as payback for Jarjar.

[Corsair]

Well looky here. Lucas calls Episode III "a tear-jerker."

This one's a little bit more emotional. We like to describe it as 'Titanic' in space.

And we all know what happened to the Titanic...
