Dazzling visuals, no question about it.
Always felt that Star Wars lost its mojo with episodes 1, 2, & 3. For me the Lucas lightning-in-a-bottle magic just wasn't there anymore. Stale dialogue, cliche characters, weak story.
Here's hoping the magic will be back with the force this time. |

Well, the whole thing is now in the hands of a brand new crew, and they might just have some surprises up their sleeves!
I'm sure they realize that people want the feeling they got when they first saw Star Wars: A New Hope as young and enthusiastic fans.
But then again, maybe they're going a little overboard trying to tie Star Wars in with classic sci-fi and popular action movies from the past.
What do you guys think?

The international teaser is quite different:

Master Jedi Luke Skywalker from this teaser:
And near the end you can faintly hear Han Solo asking "You guys got room in this battle for an old war horse?" |

That is one awesome teaser, Eadie! Thanks. While looking at it I found this video of a real cute girl talking about Star Wars. Click and enjoy.

True identity of the mysterious narrator of the 'Star Wars' trailer
Drew McWeeny, HITFLIX
....For the record, that is Andy Serkis you hear in the trailer. I was able to verify this, although I was not able to uncover any further information about the role he plays. Here's what I do know, though. He's playing a pivotal role in the film, although he will not have a lot of screen time.....

Actually all the ships would leave vapor trails. The X-wings are the only ones that are not flying barn doors. The X-wings should have a vapor trail from each wingtip. I spent some time growing up with my dad test flying instrument packages. |

He must have provided the motion capture for that rollerball droid, then. _________________ ...or not...

Nice ad - I guess if I watched more live commercial tv channels here in the UK I'd have seen that. It does show that putting batteries into toys can have dangerous consequences! |
