Actually, I just downloaded the trailer and its more than jusr heavy breathing.
There is no dialog or narration, but there are some action sequences and shots of all the characters with the Star Wars music playing underneath.
A lot better that what Steve and Josh deacribed.
Funny note....Christopher Walken is in the trailer and is credited at the end of the trailer, but is not listed on the IMDB as being in the movie.

Maybe the breathing trailer is just for Monsters Inc. and the one I have is the one that will play with other titles?

James

Are you sure that it was Christopher Walken not Christopher Lambert?

CL is listed on a number of sites as being in Ep 2 whereas I have seen similar sites state categorically that CW is not in it..

But as we know nothing with Lucas is ever simple

The information posted by Paul is correct--the threatening letter is on a large piece of cardboard and is stuffed in the shipping cases with the print. See the post in "feature info and trailer attachments" for the rest of the huge quantity of attached/enclosed stuff that is being shipped with Monsters.

James...

The trailer you downloaded is completely bogus. Whoever put that together did a very good job at clipping scenes from other movies (Braveheart, Last of the Mohicans, among others). Some of it may have been real but I just don't believe it because I don't see why Lucasfilm would produce a trailer with exactly the same scene as "The Last of the Mohicans" (105:35-105:40 through the DVD). The Braveheart reference comes when there is a crowd of people running with Light Sabres... and dressed in Medieval clothing with sheilds. Nothing adds up.

You know, I watched the trailer again and I think youre right.
I should have realized that the first time when it didnt say ATTACK OF THE CLONES anywhere in it.
Also, the credit screen does look a bit fake.
It appears Ive been had.
Oh well.

Who claims to be responsible for this threatening letter? Since Monsters Inc is from Disney and Star Wars is not, then who is demanding that the feature and trailer stay together? Is it Lucasfilm, Disney, Fox, Pixar, all of the above, none of the above... who?

James: You got a hold of the 'fake EpII trailer' that was made from footage from various pictures that featured the cast members of the new film. It was circulating the net a few months ago. I believe it was originated by someone at http://www.theforce.net IIRC. There is a really cool 'fake' 'Raiders of the Lost Ark: 20th Anniversary' trailer also floating around.

The attachment connection is most likely between Lucas and Pixar as Pixar was once a unit of Lucasfilm back in the 80s.

And yes the Episode I trailer WAS attached to Wing Commander. And there was a notice sent along with the print that said after the first weekend you were to remove it and replace it with some other Fox title (Possibly Titan AE or The Beach? I can't remember for sure which but it came in a separate package after the print arrived.)

From Showbizdata.com...

>>Attendance is expected to soar next weekend with the opening of Pixar's latest computer animated production, Monsters, Inc. The film received an additional boost Monday with word that George Lucas has created "an exclusive teaser trailer" for his upcoming Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones that will be presented at all screenings of Monsters, Inc. In a statement posted on the official Star Wars website, Lucas commented, "I have great respect for Pixar and deep admiration for John Lasseter and his team. I'm thrilled to be able to show audiences their first glimpse of Episode II with Monsters, Inc. It gives me an immense sense of pride to see our companies working together."<<

Maybe old George will get it right this time...who knows?

Aaron S is correct. According to Variety, Lucasfilm cut a deal with Pixar to have the Episode 2 trailer attached to Monsters Inc. The "Film Snobs" in the press are too wrapped up in all the hype to get the facts.

I just saw a new Episode II Attack of the Clones trailer on Harry Potter last night. It was different than the "Breathing" trailer on Monster's Inc. The new trailer makes Episode II look like a sweeping romance. I wonder if in an effort to get the girls Lukas will lose the boys?
