USA Today has a big article on the buzz for AOTC as well as a listing of things to watch for in the new movie:

It's almost here. On May 16, Star Wars, Episode II: Attack of the Clones invades theaters. While creator and director George Lucas isn't giving many secrets away, here are a few clues to look for:

Light saber colors. Greens and blues belong to good guys. Red-beamed sabers are for villains. The one exception: Samuel L. Jackson asked that his character, Mace Windu, have a unique color. "He's a good guy," Lucas says. "But he's got a purple light saber."

Jar Jar Binks. Even Amidala (Natalie Portman), who is now a senator, feels the need to cut him off when he begins to jabber. He has just three scenes, adding up to a total of less than 4 minutes.

Cyber buzz: Lucas won't say specifically what the most talked-about element will be, but he offers this: "I'd pay attention to Leia's stepfather (Senator Bail Organa, played by Jimmy Smits). He has a small role in this one, but will play more prominently in the next."

Obi's dark humor. In an offhand remark to Anakin (Hayden Christensen), Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) makes a joke that will prove fateful.

Bar fights. Obi-Wan can't seem to stay out of them. (Remember the cantina in Star Wars ?)

Speeders. The flying vehicles play a role in all of Lucas' films, but some of these bear a striking resemblance to contemporary vehicles, especially Harleys and Vespa scooters.

Desert profile. Anakin strikes a similar pose as his boy would later against the desert landscape.
