Fool me six times...oh, the hell with it.
As many of you already know, the teaser for Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith aired on Entertainment Tonight or E! Fashion Nazis or Celebrity Buggerfest last night. It didn't take long for legions of handsome, gainfully employed computer swahsbucklers to get a copy and post that mother all over the internets. Dark Horizons has some mirrors listed, but they're pretty much moving targets. I watched it here.
As trailers go, it's rather chincy. The entire first half consists of a replay of Ben's lecture from Star Wars about the Jedi and Luke's father, cut with scenes from the previous movies. Then we see:
+ Anakin in dire need of Visine
+ Scenes from a Jedi struggle in Mustafar hills
+ Sidious and James Earl Jones voiceover: "Lord Vader?" "Yes, master." "Rise."
+ Vader does so
+ Samuel L. Jackson is pissed...for a change
+ Wookies, wookies, wookies
+ Space battles
+ Anakin is also pissed
+ Obi Wan and Anakin fight on Mauna Loa
+ Sidious gets Jedi with it
I've been down this road far too many times to get excited about any of this stuff. Lucas' "dark" film will no doubt feature lots of angst and murder most foul, but I'm still happy I get to see it for free.
Oh shut up. I haven't had a Star Wars update in months. And you don't come here for election recaps.
