Sith Interceptor chimed in with the following spy report for TFN readers to start the week with. It contains descriptions of the first few scenes of Episode II, so if you'd rather wait to see it on the bigscreen, don't highlight the text below:

It starts with the Royal Starship and a few Naboo starfighters heading towards Coruscant. Once they land and disembark, the Royal ship gets wasted along with her crew who were standing on the platform. It is supposed to seem as though Senator Amidala is killed but it is actually her decoy, Corde dressed as the Senator, that dies.

It remains unclear as to who actually blows the ship up.

Word travels quickly to the Senate chamber where Uv Gizen tells Palpatine the terrible news.

Interesting stuff. And if you want to read more about this scene, check out the spy reports here and here.
