Hi, According to the Beeb, (link attached) "Attack of the Clones" has been cloned, not once, but twice. It's available on-line somewhere 6 days before it's global release, they reckon a million people will see it before it opens. I imagine the people who did it will become famous :) "Ladies and germs, start your engines..." :P later jbyarp posted Fri, 10 May 2002 at 2:34 PM
Alas we in France will have to wait for months before seeing that film. I bet we will even have Poser figures before I can see the film. 2 years ago there where Maul and Gunga (sorry can't rememb the exact name) before I realized who they where. So please you happy americans, outline your starwars models so that we poor Europeans can keep an eye on them. Yarp ps Unless I can find a DivX somewhere ;))

Not all of us "happy Americans" will go to see the film. AS far as I am concerned, Lucas killed his own franchise through marketing greed and has becomea toy-maker rather than a film-maker. :: There isn't enough money on this planet to convince me to spend a couple hours of my life watching anything else by him. It is going to be a long time until December and The Two Towers. Carolly

You may be right, Lucas turned to many - money making - hobbies, among which Electronic Games. I especially admire him for the games as I would love to do the same. For the film, I recall the first 3 episodes and it's a kind of nostalgy for me. One of my friend was a Star Wars fan and he read all the books. There are in all 20 episodes, the end in 50 years ? ... and how many giga bucks ;)) Yarp

Actually, what you are referring to are bootleg copies that have been released on the Internet without the approval or permission of LucasFilm or 20th Century Fox. Yes, the person who did it will become famous (if he is found)... due to fact that he will be arrested and charged with numerous copyright violations. Then, again, downloading a copy of Star Wars: Episode II is just like downloading MP3's, so what's the big deal, right? And if you really must have a copy of it (or don't want to see it on the big screen), then it should be very easy to find via any of the peer-to-peer networks. Just be sure you don't download a virus or a trojan or spyware or something else! --John
