OT: New Star Wars Trailer!!

[veggieburger]

My inner nerd is SOOOO pumped, even though it's still a year away.

Thinking of this as my next tattoo:

Ok, maybe not..

Other than the infamous bitorrent version, is there any way at all to see the unaltered original?

. . . knew the projectionist at the local theater, so we got to watch the Kansas city premier of Star Wars from the projectionists booth. This was the big local "art" theater with a huge screen, and he was a real geek and had the booth all wired up for sound. In that first scene when the giant, rumbling Imperial cruiser comes in from the top of the screen, the place shook and there were screams. It was spectacular.

I'm not going to stand in line all night, but I'm really looking forward to this.

Also, this showed up after SW trailer on YouTube:

Batman vs. Darth Vader? . . . I'm not normally a fan of mashups, but this was incredibly well-made. Somebody spent some serious time and money on this one.

Nope. Unless you've got a copy of the mid-90s VHS re-release before the CGI updated versions came out.

There's been some talk Disney will re-release the unedited versions on Blu Ray at some point. If it happens, maybe 2015 before the new film is out?

Not looking forward to it. A Disney Star Wars has the potential to be even worse than the Lucas prequels.

I have the vhs versions somewhere. I think they were the last of the original cuts.

Or maybe has the potential to be amazing?
I only like the original three movies so far, but holding out hope for this new one!
I want to see Jurassic World too.

The Seven Dwarfs destroy the Death Star and save the day!

Guys, I am totally IN. I agree the prequels to some extent were disappointments. But having the cast of original characters come back is exciting you have to admit.

When the original Star Wars came out I was 8 years old. I dragged my mom, aunts or anyone who would take me to see the movie 11 times in the theater. Total geek.

That youtube movie/mashup was awesome

Isn't that the guy who directed a Star Trek movie where Kirk gets kicked out of Star Fleet Academy and then twenty minutes later is made captain of the fleet's flagship? He does this by employing a technique for promotion that, I am sure, is standard in the U.S. Navy, namely taunting the captain until he loses his cool, at which point the captain will quit and leave the taunter in command of the ship. Evidently there is not a single other person in the average Star Fleet crew who outranks someone who washed out of officer's training.

JJ has more hits than misses, that's for sure. But his misses are pretty big ones.
