But then I remember that TPM had a cool trailer too...and my cynical self attempts to pretend it didn't get a kick out of seeing Harrison Ford again....
This is very true. People were hyped as fuck for the Phantom Menace trailer. Most people here are probably too young to remember the level of hype surrounding the release of the Prequel trilogy... I myself was very young at the time too. But there was just as much, if not more hype, surrounding TPM leading up to its release. From what we saw in the trailer, it looked like a pretty awesome, if not slightly unfamiliar Star Wars movie was coming out. And everyone was excited.
And then the movie came out.
Still, despite the fact that once again, this teaser tells us practically nothing about the movie itself, I think there are plenty of reasons to be cautiously optimistic about this. Namely:
- George Lucas' scripts were rejected out of hand by Disney. This is a very good thing.
- The movie is being written by many of the same people who wrote the originals.
- There seems to be a concerted effort to capture the "feel" of the original movies. Less CGI, more actual props and live sets.
