God God, am I out of it or what. I was imagining some Jedi version of two young lovers sneaking up to the roof of a building with a blanket and a radio playing bad (insert the 00s version of Air Supply) songs. Sir Rhosis ---

Oooh, hotdamn, I might have to take a day of vacation to watch this one at the matinee. . . I was surprised to see Palpatine with a lightsaber too. But I’m still curious to see how the Empire’s uniforms go from those in EpII to EpIV. The masks, pads, etc. look way different. Yes, I’m an engineer. That’s why I’m so geekified about the continuity of how they look. 😃 Tripler I want to see some resolution on Jango/Boba Fett too! ---

That’s why I’m so geekified about the continuity of how they look. 😃 _That’s_ what you’re worried about? Uniforms change with time - just look how much U.S. military dress has changed beween Vietnam and Gulf War II. I doubt Lucas will ever give us any explanation beyond that. ---

Who is that fighting Obi-Wan at 1:29? It doesn’t look much like Anakin to me. ---

I’m kinda hoping that the guy with the tall red collar who kinda looks like Pinhead will be a goodguy. Lucas’s badguys always _look_ like badguys. I want the scary-looking dude to be a nice, friendly Jedi or something. ---

FWIW, the trailer for the Episode III video game is now up as well. [LucasArts](http://www.lucasarts.com/ep3/). Looks cool, though only a few action games I’ve played have worked well in third-person perspective. ---

> [@Tuco](#): > > Who is that fighting Obi-Wan at 1:29? It doesn’t look much like Anakin to me. That is Anakin. He just looks different because, as established in _Episode One_, hair gel is very important to the Jedi ethos. As soon as Obi Wan officially took Anakin on as a padawan learner, he got the [gel & blow-dry treatment](http://www.cswu.cz/prequels/postavy/anakin/pictures14.html), like the other Jedi. [He has bangs again](http://www.kinofans.com/mat/news/star_wars/epi-3-anakin.jpg) in _Episode Three_, to signify his corruption by the Dark Side. They’re not even tidy bangs anymore – they’re unruly, sweaty bangs. Oooh. _Eeeevil._ 😃 ---

For the brief look at _FUTILITY_, see 01:22. **Larry Mudd** , that was hilarious. Whos is doing Vader’s voice in this one? Did they get James Earl Jones to come back? ---

Yes James Earl Jones is doing the voice of Darth Vader. I checked to make sure at Internet Movie Database. ---

> [@Murcielago](#): > > Lookin’ good there, Sidious. Apparently the Dark Side leads to gingivitis. Or maybe it’s the other way around? Hate leads to anger. Anger leads to depression. Depression leads to neglect of one’s dental hygeine. Lack of flossing leads to gingivitis! Seriously, though, I’m cautiously hopeful. The trailer looks amazing. But I seem to recall that so did Episode II’s trailer. ---
