Star Wars II Trailer Online
Jager writes: "You can download the new starwars trailer here. Enjoy." Seemed to me as if Lucas was worried about the "love story" emphasis in the previous teasers, and wanted to make sure people knew there would be plenty of zapping and slashing.
Here ya go.
If you don't have the DiVX 5 codec, Get that here.
Have fun.
Pick up a book. I'm not trying to be snide; I think you're going to find much more of the kind of inventiveness you're looking for in sci-fi novels than you ever will in the movies.
WWII-era space battles and balkanized aliens are just too much of a staple. Farscape has some slightly more interesting aliens, in that they're not all humanoid, but they still adhere to more or less cartoony personality types.
I think it's just a limitation of the television / movie medium. Well, not of the medium, but of the economic circumstances driving the medium.
