Star Wars TV Commercials

Boy its Star Wars Hype Monday here as Jim Hall writes "I found the Star Wars Ep. 1 TV commercials They are spoiler-free! But they are very cool. " VH1 is supposedly gonna air Duel of the Fates (the Star Wars video) 6 consecutive times at 6pm EST, so get your VCR ready. I'ce heard the track already- its not the best track on the soundtrack, but its pretty sweet.

I'm as excited as everyone else, but...

It seems like a bad idea to go this overboard with the hype.

I know nobody wants to think of Star Wars and Waterworld in the same sentence, but I can't help but compare them.

Because of all the hype, it will be extremely difficult not to judge Episode:1 very harshly. No matter how decent it is, there are going to be many people who come out of the theater complaining about it until they run out of breath.

If there wasn't so much of a hooplah about it, we'd all go in expecting to have a good time, and probably be satisfied. Marketing it as the Second Coming: A Messianic Experience for All Ages, is just asking for scrutiny and criticism.
