Blast you, George Lucas!
The Teaser Trailer for Episode III has been released. Let's get a few things out of the way. First of all, I own the original Star Wars Trilogy on both VHS and Laserdisc. This is so that I'll have some preserved copies of what Star Wars was like before the Special Edition was released. Let's face it-- Greedo never shot first. Episode I and Episode II were both terrible. That said, here I am, with the new Episode III trailer, and I have to say that it's amazing, and I've been sucked in to planning to see Episode III on opening night. Yes, it will probably be awful, but George Lucas makes really amazing trailers that give me that, "no, this time, it will be good!" Thanks, George, for once again, despite everything I know, giving me a sense of false hope.
On a similar note, there is an exhaustive cataloging of changes made to the Special Editions of Episode IV: A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, which have been released on DVD.

Heh, one of the message boards I read had a similar thread about how Lucas makes the most intriguing trailers ever and then completely fails to deliver.
This might interest you too, if you haven't already read it. It's an essay about the altered DVDs: http://www.theforce.net/jedicouncil/editorials/092904.shtml
