So good, I watched it twice…three times…
I saw a post over at Kottke.org about Star Wars Episode III and once again, someone has said it better than I could have, so I’m quoting….
Once every three years, the first trailer for yet another crappy George Lucas Star Wars movie is released somewhere to great fanfare. And each time, I watch said trailer and get all excited. It looks great, I’ll say. Maybe it’ll actually be good. My hopes start to rise. And then the movie comes out, Natalie Portman is transformed by Lucas’ awful direction into the worst actress ever, and I leave the theatre disappointed that a cherished childhood institution has been handled in such a piss-poor manner. With the impending release of Episode III and the trailer during last night’s episode of The OC, I have vowed not to get my hopes up. Never again, George Lucas, will you disappoint me.
However.
OMFG THE TRAILER FOR THE NEW STAR WARS MOVIE IS SOOO GREAT AND EXCITING AND THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO KICK SO MUCH ASS!!!
A torrent of the trailer is available here (smaller version here) and in QuickTime.
If you haven’t seen this, you absolutely must watch it. Now! If the movie is 1/3 as good as the trailer, it’ll still be a great movie. Off to watch it again. And again. And again.
And be sure to check out “That’s my Vader…“

I have to agree. Please, please, please let this movie live up the trailer. Becaues that trailer looks very, very good. I am so hoping George can pull it off this time. Is that too much to hope for?
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Yeah, the trailers are always good. The trailer for Phantom Menace sent shivers of excitement up my spine. Then the movie came out and totally blew chunks. Attack of the Clones’s trailer looked even better, and to be honest the movie didn’t completely suck–except for the whole “romance” story (if Lucas had forced the love story any harder, he’d be up on rape charges). The trailer for Revenge of the Sith looks fab, but I’m trying not to get my hopes up. About the most I’ll allow is to tell myself “well, at least it can’t possibly be worse than the first one”.
But, during Phantom Menace I got really worried that Lucas was going to pull an “Anakin, I am your father” (said by Palpatine). And after seeing the trailer for Revenge, I’m even more worried. I sincerely hope that when Palpatine called Anakin “son”, it was just an expression of affection, and not literal. But I wouldn’t put it past Lucas.
