I'm separating this from the 2nd Prequel info because of the possibility of spoilerish material... This first part is about when the 2nd trailer is going to be released (BUMMER, Variety fibbed) and more viewing comments from Steven Spielberg. So read on...
Tonight's Entertainment Tonight had an interview with George Lucas from the Golden Globes, and he said that the next, or as he called it, "the real" Star Wars Episode 1 trailer would be released in March.
Also, when Steven Spielberg was asked how he liked the movie when he saw it recently, he said that he loved it and would probably see it about 12 or 13 more times.
See ya!

No here is an introduction of a spy (CPO) that I have some detailed background on (ie where he works, what he did on Episode One, etc). No normally I'd warn ya about spoilers, etc, but ya know... This is Episode 2 and as far as I know the scripts aren't nailed down, and it is still a bit fluid. There isn't much given away (if it is true, alot of this could be speculation given the knowledge of the first film.) But the casting bits seem the most interesting to me. So believe it or not... here's CPO
The Production on Episode 2 is moving quietly.
Ok, first, here some comfirmations about Episode 2:
Things in Australia are already in progress ( plans, sets, props, scouting for external scenes). The majority of work will be done in Australia. Other Important locations have not been determined yet. The Director? Ignore the names of Fincher, Coppola, Darabont, Mann or Besson, at this point
Casting: Things are moving smoothly as well. The Older Anakin's quest is not finished yet. The Casting for Anakin will surprised a lotta people. They are not searching for what you may think they are. They are also searching for another young male actor. There's many new characters in Episode 2. However, Lucasfilm's not searching for all the big guns in Hollywood. Sure, I've heard many big names, but the only big names that I've heard more than once is Gabriel Byrne, but he has not been casted yet and there's no REAL hard facts leading me to think that he will. However, I've heard his name. Now, I know that many people on the net are interested in only one thing. Who will play Boba Fett's part. First, Fett is in Episode 2 and 3. Bulloch is not considered for the part at this moment. Anyway, Bulloch's pushing Lucasfilm to cast his 20 years old son for the role of Boba Fett. But, words from the Oval Office at Lucasfilm reports that Lucas, has every plans to cast a (well ?)-known actor for the part of Fett. Maybe Byrne, maybe not.
I don't know much of the story at this point, only that Episode 2 includes:
-The Clone Wars
-Anakin's wedding (in strange circumstances, I've been told)
-The Feel of Episode 2, is a lot like Episode 5, but still much more darker.
-Jar Jar is in Episode 2-3 at this point. Jar Jar is expected to be much more important (like Chewie in Episodes 5-6)
-The Transformation of Anakin Skywalker The Jedi into Anakin Skywalker, The Jedi Master.
-The Identity of the Future Emperor (it won't be much of a surprise, I've been told)
I will only tell you this for today.
