I just salvoed with 7 instant messages telling me there was a trailer for SW3 on tv and i missed the whole thing. Someone quick! I need a link since [apple.com](http://apple.com) doesn’t have anything!! ---

Unless you want to pay to see the trailer (good thinking, Lucas!) I believe your only legal option is to wait until the 14th, when it’ll be available on [starwars.com](http://starwars.com) for free. ---

Someone began sharing an excellent-quality bittorrent file last night. It took me all of five minutes to download a copy. I predict you’ll be able to see/retrieve your own elsewhere off the internet within hours. The trailer… doesn’t suck. I refuse to contribute to the hype, though. I decent trailer does not guarantee a good, compelling, film. ---

Took me all of an hour and a half to become a hypocrite, there. ---

Wait a minute. George Lucas wants people to pay to see a _commercial_ for his crappy movie? Goddamn. That’s no moon, that’s Lucas’s ballsack. ---

Well, they probably haven’t found it yet. Be sure it’s the TRAILER you’re downloading, NOT the trailer preview. Which reminds me-I better spread the word before it disappears.
