Trailer B

Shot 1: A grassy hill. Some vehicles start to slowly emerge from beyond the horizon.

Shot 2: Large city with a dome-shaped palace on the edge of enormous cliff. Probably Queen's palace seen from the opposite side than in the first trailer.

Shot 3: Queen: "I will not condone a course of action that will lead us to war."

Shot 4: Cool shot of battle tanks slowly hovering above the grass.

Shot 5: Sio Bibble: "A communications disruption can mean only one thing. Invasion."

Shot 6: A ship flies through space. It has a pointed nose and rear "wings" very reminiscent of TIE fighters.

Shot 7: A HUGE ship, shaped like a letter "H", landing in the forest

Shot 8: Darth Maul stepping outside from some ship, pod or whatever.

Shot 9: Darth Maul to someone in black (probably Darth Sidious, but he's not a hologram): "At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi." They are both standing on some sort of walkway high above enormous city.

Shot 10: Huge fleet (the "H" shaped mothership and many smaller ships) approaches the planet.

Shot 11: Many battle droids marching in precise formation, guns ready.

Shot 12: Maul to Sidious: "At last we will have revenge." S

hot 13: Battle droids and some weird spider-like robots (at least 15 feet tall) standing in some sort of hangar, all of them suddenly turning towards the camera.

Shot 14: Sidious (hologram): "Begin landing your troops."

Shot 15: Several battle droids on STAPs flying past what appears to be the lower part of the "H"-shaped ship, parked in the forest. It has just opened and some hovercrafts are pouring out (the same things that decimated the forest in the first trailer).

Shot 16: Many different animals running through the forest. Someone is riding at least one of them.

Shot 17: Detail of Qui-Gon, standing in the ship which is shaking.

Shot 18: Obi-Wan: "We haven't much time."

Shot 19: Ship (seems like Queen's) flying from the planet towards something (not in the picture) that is shooting at her.

Shot 20: Two Nimoidians.

Shot 21: Queen: "The Federation has gone too far."

Shot 22: Many battle droids getting up (they were probably crouching before).

Shot 23: Wide shot of literally thousands of droids standing in formations in front of very large vehicles (looking a little bit like enormous toasters).

Shot 25: Some sort of royal chamber. Several people are standing around, one of them hologram. Someone says: "The death toll is catastrophic."

Shot 26: Palpatine slowly turning towards the camera.

Shot 27: Queen: "Our people are dying, senator, we must do something quickly."

Shot 28/29: Sio Bibble (hologram) to Queen: "You must contact me." (This is cut to look like a single scene but the Queen has different dress in each shot).

Shot 30: Qui-Gon to Queen: "There's something else behind all this, Your Highness." Obi-Wan and Jar Jar are standing nearby as well as two handmaidens looking exactly like the Queen!

Shot 31: Queen looking from the window (like in the first trailer). Qui-Gon (voiceover): "They'll kill you if you stay."

Shot 32: Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan getting up from the table and swtching their lightsabers on.

Shot 33: Obi-Wan raising his hand - using The Force. Qui-Gon (voiceover): "I can only protect you."

Shot 34: The Force probably worked, because three battle droids are flying away from the camera.

Shot 35: Qui-Gon: "I can't fight a war for you."

Shot 36: Steps of enromous palace. The Queen and several other people are being escorted down by battle droids.

Shot 37: Palpatine: "I think we're going to have to accept Federation control for the time being."

Shot 38: Queen, Bibble and several other people are escorted by battledroids.

Shot 39: Two very cool battle robots which are "transforming" themselves from spheres to armored "things" with guns.

Shot 40: Panaka: "This is a battle I do not think that we can win."

Shot 41: Queen to Palpatine: "I will sign no treaty, senator."

Shot 42: Large mounted guns firing.

Shot 45: Pilot in the cockpit being hit. He wears those old-style pilot goggles.

Shot 46: Queen looking from the window.

Shot 47: Jar Jar to Queen: "You say people gonna die?" Or something like that (his dialect is terrible.)

Shot 48: STAPs are shooting at Obi-Wan in the forest, Qui-Gon deflects their fire with his lighsaber.

Shot 49/50: Obi-Wan to Boss Nass: "Once those droids take control of the surface, they will take control of you."

Shot 51: Tanks firing.

Shot 52: Queen: "I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die..." Some small thing is hovering in front of her (a microphone?).

Shot 53: Dozens of Gungans deflecting laser fire with large see-through shields.

Shot 54: Senate or something similar. Enormous hall with many small pods, each of them containing people (ambassadors?). Queen (voiceover): "...while you discuss this invasion in a committee."

Shot 55: Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon mowing down battle droids with lightsabers.

Shot 56: Two robots from shot 39 firing.

Shot 57: Door opens, several people are running from them. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan use the lightsabers to deflect the shots, the Queen is shooting from her blaster.

Shot 74: R2D2 beeping.

Shot 75: Obi-Wan jumps up, kicking down one battle droid with each of his feet. Looks like Bruce Lee. :)

Shot 76: Yoda to Mace: "Always two there are."

Shot 77: Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan standing on the balcony above Coruscant. Yoda (voiceover): "A master and an apprentice."

Shot 78: Darth Maul standing menacingly in the desert, switching off his lighsaber. Something flies overhead.

Shot 79: Two Naboo fighters flying, one of them explodes.

Shot 80: The pod race. Various pods (each of them different) speeding through the canyon.

Shot 81: Naboo fighter flying from space into a hangar, rolling wildly.

Shot 82: Enormous jaws opening (probably shot from inside of the sub).

Shot 83: Obi-Wan duelling with Darth Maul. I'd say that he has 9 horns. One at the top of his head and four on each side.

Shot 84: Jabba The Hutt on the balcony, surrounded by his familiar minions from the previous Star Wars movies.

Shot 85/86: Obi-Wan duelling with Darth Maul.

Shot 87: Shmi embracing Anakin.

Shot 88: Huge underwater beast grabs a sub in its jaws. Not sure if they are the same as in shot 82.

Shot 90: Another shot from the pod race.
