I saw a post over at Kottke.org about Star Wars Episode III and once again, someone has said it better than I could have, so I’m quoting….
Once every three years, the first trailer for yet another crappy George Lucas Star Wars movie is released somewhere to great fanfare. And each time, I watch said trailer and get all excited. It looks great, I’ll say. Maybe it’ll actually be good. My hopes start to rise. And then the movie comes out, Natalie Portman is transformed by Lucas’ awful direction into the worst actress ever, and I leave the theatre disappointed that a cherished childhood institution has been handled in such a piss-poor manner. With the impending release of Episode III and the trailer during last night’s episode of The OC, I have vowed not to get my hopes up. Never again, George Lucas, will you disappoint me.
However.
OMFG THE TRAILER FOR THE NEW STAR WARS MOVIE IS SOOO GREAT AND EXCITING AND THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO KICK SO MUCH ASS!!!
A torrent of the trailer is available here (smaller version here) and in QuickTime.
If you haven’t seen this, you absolutely must watch it. Now! If the movie is 1/3 as good as the trailer, it’ll still be a great movie. Off to watch it again. And again. And again.
And be sure to check out “That’s my Vader…“
