Dudewalker sends in this report to clarify a spoiler scene we've heard about from early sources but no one has actually seen. Perhaps this will clear up some of the confusion:

After the latest reports regarding the tusken slaughter scene, and the many differing (and at times contradictory) accounts which have followed before it, I decided to try to get some clarification from the only guy on the internet who claims to have actually SEEN the movie: Harry Knowles.

So this is the email I sent him and after that is the response I got:

Hey man,

Love your site and all that jazz. I was wondering whether you could clarify the exact details of how the tusken slaughter scene in AOTC is going to play out? There have been a LOT of different reports about whether we will see Anakin actually go on his mass-murdering rampage, or whether the violence will be implied. There are two new reports at both theforce.net and episode-x.com, which are apparently based on the script and say that Anakin will be not shown killing the tuskens. However in the FL trailer he is clearly shown swiping at a tusken. The reports also state that the slaughter will occur in the morning however in the trailer it seems much more like night. I would really appreciate some more specific and reliable info regarding this scene. Could you help?

And then Harry replied:

In the edit I saw, I believe he killed about 7 tuskens that there was evidence of. 4 bodies, then three that he takes out before the fade out. And if memory serves it was right before dawn after he watched the camp all night waiting for them to sleep.

Harry

Interesting ...
