Revenge of the Sith trailer kicks some serious ass

I'm not going to risk the wrath of Lucas and his Sith Lawyers by posting a link to the trailer, but I'm guessing all of you are smart enough to find it for yourself. The trailer is, simply put, amazing. Palpatine is as evil as all git out, confronting Jedi and manipulating everyone. Anakin fulfills the whiny promise of the other two sequels by killing just about everything that moves, and it looks like Coruscant is in dire straits.

Now, Lucas has teased us before with two great trailers, followed by two "bleh" movies. He could do it again, but the ingredients are all here for ROTS to blow us out of the water. I'm not going to line up Opening Day or anything, but for the first time in a long time, I'm stoked to see some new Star Wars.

I actually have high hopes for this one. The TEASER for EP1 rocked. The trailer wasn't as good. The trailer for EP2 did nothing for me. As did the teaser for EP3.

The trailer for EP3 is great. I watched a crappy cam version and I was captivated. I hope the actual movie rocks, but I have my doubts. Lucas has had the perfect ingredients in the past and fucked up huge.

Yeah, that's the big worry. But there's so much gold in this thing.....my two favorite bits being where Yoda dodges the platforms in the Senate (yeah, trash that legislative assembly!), and when Palpy leaps out from behind his desk and doles out some cloaky vengeance on Mace and the boys.

And the part where Obi-Wan yells "but you were the Chosen One!" is pure sweetness....but Lucas will probably find a way to screw it all up.

Holy crap, I just went through the trailer frame by frame and I just figured out who the emporer is!

I won't share it here as to destroy your movie going experience though. Suffice to say--you'll be SHOCKED.

You know that I can't not reply to this. It looks cool, still too heavy on the CG, but it looks like they have made some strides in the rendering area, not so plastic
looking.

As far as the dramatic aspect it looks like these guys are acting, well Hayden may still be walking around half baked, but Ewan owns Obi-Wan.

Yeah, and Windu is looking more like a bad mofo in this one. He didn't do a lot in TPM, seemed to be hitting his stride in AOTC....but I have a feeling Sam's gonna be some cool shit in this one.

By the way, check www.btefet.net for the HDTV trailer...mmm, that's some sweet geekery.

The url to the HDTV trailer isn't working.

Lucas is going to be on 60 minutes this Sunday so that should be entertaining, I love watching him stumble his way awkwardly through interviews.
