I’m hesitant to post a thread about the trailer as I fear it may have been covered already. Let me know if their is another thread discussing it. I searched for one but couldn’t find it.

Anyways I actually thought it was pretty good. Nifty special effects and lots of em. Perhaps James Earl Jones can restore some of the dignity to the acting. Lots of Wookies is cool. The only weird thing i thought was the music was poorly edited at the very end of it. I like the Obi Wan Monologue, it’s a good way to tie it all together. Also it looks like there will be some cool space battles, something I really miss.

Sorry to break it to you, but JEJ’s voice and the Vader suit only have about 5 minutes worth of screen time at the end.

Are you talking about the teaser, or a brand new trailer?

If it’s the former, I hate to break it to you, but it’s been out for over a month-longer than that for Hyperspace members.

That **Blue Sky** , what a tease. ( 😉 )

If anyone has not seen them linked on other sites, they can be found [here](http://www.idontfear.com.nyud.net:8090/). A few test shots and some which look they could be from the actual project. If real, they do create a bit of spoilage, so beware. Personally, I think the best pic is the joke with Leia at the top of the page.

I’ve read that ‘mechanical Vader’ is on screen for about **12** minutes.

Still, I’m glad George ‘Palpatine’ Lucas didn’t fall in love with some Hayden Christensen voice synthesizer dialog and redub the first three films with it (not that he’d ever do anything like that…)

Them’s the ones.

I’ve also seen what is purported to be the shooting script. If it is, there should be some good action scenes. Old Anakin goes evil in a big way.
