The best part...

[Anonymous Coward]

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...

Hmm..

[MalaclypseTheYounger]

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!

Bitorrent located here...

[StressGuy]

...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).

Hey, it's up!

The first 45 seconds are from the previous movies (Episode 1, 2, and 4), but the rest looks really cool. Looks like Yoda gets to fight some more, and apparently Darth Sideous has a lightsaber, too. Obi Wan looks like he gets his ass handed to him by Anakin.

I hope the entire movie won't have that yellow "H" in the bottom right hand corner, though. Kinda distracting.

Oddly enough, it really would stick it to those execs.

I believe that the deal that movie theatres get goes something like this:

The studio gets almost all the revenue for the first week of release. After that it tails off, and theatres start to get more of the revenue.

So - support your local flea pit and watch movies late :-)

Pay for the honor of watching an advertisement

[Jooly Rodney]

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.

Will these surfboards be jumping lava sharks by any chance?

I hope for more story and less special effects

[theshowmecanuck]

I hope it doesn't suck as bad as Episodes 1 and 2.

Don't get me wrong. I like the (original) Star Wars. I think the Episode 4 was/is a great movie and I can't count how many times I have seen it. Episode V was very good as well. But I think maybe it is because there was less money involved back then (either for special effects or with merchandising). They had to work on the characters and acting more because they didn't have such a huge budget for special effects (i.e. they didn't rely on special effects as much to 'make' the story).

I think the more they rely on 'green screens' and CGI, the poorer the quality of the movie, specifically the story. And I think when Lucas relies increasingly on the movie to be a big commercial for his merchandising efforts (e.g. Jar Jar Binks) it ruins the movie.

I don't plan on seeing this in the theatre. I plan on renting it. I am gun shy after the last two releases. I don't believe they were worth the exorbintant cost of today's movie tickets (never mind the hassle of going through the morgage application to pay for my popcorn and drink).

Re:The Incredibles?

[reidhoch]

It is true, the theatrical trailer airs during The Incredibles.

Re:Mirror right here!

We're have 3 people trying to maintain a live link on this site: http://www.dtheatre.com/read.php?sid=2782

It can be seen there now.

No, this is how Anakin really becomes Darth Vader

[cmdrwhitewolf]

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...

Re:lost it!

[tntguy]

(general tip here) Never ask to be transferred to a manager. End your conversation and call back. As soon as it's your turn to start talking, ask to speak with a supervisor. If you try to escalate the call with the person you're having a problem with, they will likely warn the supervisor why you want to escalate things -- and it'll only be their side of it -- if they bother to do it at all.

This won't always work, but you'll increase your changes of actually getting to a real supervisor faster.

Hovering surfboards?! The next thing you know they'll be converting a Delorean into a Star Cruiser.

I'll tell you why.
