In addition, starwars.com Hyperspace members and AOL customers will be able to download the trailer today."
"... Lucasfilm also indicated that the trailer will be available via Usenet and BitTorrent, and that the complete film was officially released last week on IRC."
Telling me George Lucas isn't directing would be a real teaser.

Dang it, where's one of those CD's when you need it?

I think the best part of the trailer is the Jar-Jar decapitation scene...oh wait, that was from a dream I had last night.
Now where did I put that Princess Amadala blow-up doll...
12" the laser discs?
/sarcasm
I can't imagine how badly Lucas is going to mess up how Anakin becomes Darth Vader.
Maybe replace his light saber with a walkie talkie?

Yes! Giving them the same amount of money a week later would REALLY prove a point. You stick it to those execs!
KARMA TAG! You're it.
Admit it, you created /. just to wage guerrilla warfare on the Internet, didn't you? Comments like that are just a form of boasting; you've created Frankenstein's monster and set it loose.

Episode I was bad, just barely watchable. Episode II was so terrible that I sat through it once. My girlfriend bought the DVD as soon as it came out and it has *NEVER* been in the DVD player.
I can only imagine how incredibly bad Episode III will be.

Loose things are easy to lose. You're getting your hair cut. They're going there to see their aunt.
...that's what I'd be saying if I knew where I bitorrent file was located, but I just had to take this opportunity to tell you about the wonderful world of Arghway products. From the Orange-marmalaid and tomato paste shoe brightening products, to thier soy toothpaste/hemmeroid cream (yes, now you can eliminate the worry of getting those to products confused early in the morning).
....yea, I know, your pissed....but I just lost all my karma ;)

"Use the clutch not the force" With guest cameos from Corey Feldman and Don(Darth) Knotts.

It's nice that you have to be a member of some shitty online Star Wars site (or one of its affiliates) to watch an advertisement for the new Star Wars movie. It's like paying to beta test a new version of Daikatana.
So we get lava surfing in SW:E3 and stair surfing in LOTR:RoK, what can we expect next...? I think some of our favourite franchises are setting an annoying precedent.

Alec Guinness does the narration/explanation for most of the trailer.
Great. First Lucas replaces him in the end of ROTJ, now he forces him back from the dead to lend credence to the new movie with a voice-over.
Dammit, Lucas! He did you a favor doing those movies in the first place, leave him alone!
R: That voice. Where have I heard that voice before? B: In about 365 other episodes. But I don't know who it is either.
d) It would give 99 percent of the people wanting to see the movie a better shot at the best seats for the first week.
Really, do you think that George Lucas is concerned about the $50 million you might cost him in your scenario? According to Forbes, the guy is worth $3 billion, and that estimation was calculated before the original trilogy was released on DVD. Even if Episode III was panned by the critics and early audiences he'd still make his money and then some from the deal he has in place with 20th Century Fox, merchandising, etc.
Debt? The guy could probably fund the movie ten times over without having to raid his savings account.
Stay away for two weeks if it gives you a warm fuzzy glow inside. Just don't pretend that it'll make a blind bit of difference to how Lucas does business or interacts with his audience.

Episode III begins with "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way...
Wait a minimum of 1 week after the movie's release before seeing it. This act in itself would send a message that people were not happy with the prequels if lots of people did it.
I'll see your week and raise you "don't see it at all."
I'm never spending another nickel on anything Star Wars-related. I spent most of my youth buying Lucas's stuff, and he gave me a giant middle finger in return.
To quote The Who, I won't be fooled again.
George Lucas stole my childhoo...Aaaaugh! My spleen!
Spread the seed my breathren!
Q. What piece of bad advice from Darth Sidious to the rest of the Sith ensured their eventual downfall?
All employees must wash hands before seeking equitable relief.
I have a friend who has a sister who works with somebody who knows a registered member of StarWars.com and they heardd that Lucas felt the trailer did not convey his artistic vision correctly and had it edited digitally. So any trailer you see now is not the original.
That's surprising because most people here really liked Episodes I and II. You must be the only exception.
Secession is the right of all sentient beings.
After Queen Padme turns Anakin's ardent requests for sex down for the umpteenth time, he attempts to use 'the FORCE' and due to his raging male hormone levels, when she blasts him with a friggin laser - he spontaneously catchs fire and jumps into the Emporers daily meglomania booster cocktail that was sitting in the balcony below in order to put himself out, and thus earned himself a life sentence of working for the Emporer in order to just pay for the Emporers' ruined shirt...
[Now, I'm off to lift my le... Um, visit... at another place.]
didnt take long...
A pirate you were meant to be? ... they even included the slashcode-fubared-rogue-spaces link. Obviously, they have minions reading geek forums... so they know people are disappointed in the quality of their stuff. And ignore all the comments. Yup. They're egotists for sure. Now, they did make the movies so they don't HAVE to listen to customers... but it's a good idea to -- and pays off later.

does it say "Yousa gotten mail"?
Slow down, cowboy! It has been 4 hours since you last posted. You must wait another few hours.
We've all had a "Tony Hawk Moment" from time to time. Cut the guy a break.
And while I truly enjoyed the LOTR movies, that part had me yelling at the screen in the theater. I yelled again when Legolas had his "Luke Skywalker" moment in RotK. Damn Middle Earth Imperial Walkers!!!
I've made up my mind and now I've got to lie in it.
