Idea: a Star Wars SuperTrailer?

 (Edited)

One of the cool things I like from the Lord of the Rings DVD release is the SuperTrailer on the ROTK non-extended disk. This thing was just great. Is there anything out there like that for Star Wars? I know there was a similiar montage of lightsaber clips and various shots on the 2000 re-release of ANH. I think it was a Starwars.com promo. Do any of the Bonus Discs out there have this mantage? Or anyone feeling brave and want to make a kicka$$ SuperTrailer? I double dog dare you!

I have a trailer of the SE trilogy release in 97. No idea where it originated, I found it on a trailer forum I'm a member of. I also have a trailer that I found on suprnova before that site got pulled. It's a montage of the first five episodes, but the last two scenes say "Order your boxest now" & lists the titles of all six episodes. I have no idea where that originated either. If you want these hosted let me know and I'll see if I can get them online.

I too would like to see the CIII exclusive "Celebrate the Saga" video if any one has a copy of it and would like to share.

As for a super trailer, someone on TFN made one called "Legacy" which is about shows the legacy of the Skywalker family through all six films. It doesn't use Star Wars music until the very end, but it is creative and the only trailer I know of that spans all six films.

Read more about it here: Jedi Council Forums - "Legacy Trailer"

- OR -

You can download it directly here in tow different flavors:

Legacy Trailer - LARGE
Legacy Trailer - MEDIUM

That's odd. I downloaded them from there and my quicktime files play fine. I'll see about uploading the large version to rapidshare in the next few days.

I'll definitely do my own saga trailer someday (yeah, it should be like the LotR trilogy trailer), but not in the near future. Celebrate the Saga is good, but not as good as the one for LotR - it begins with the OT, and then Yoda says "no there is another" and we go to the PT with Anakin Skywalker. I think this is a bad idea and I'd rather have it chronologically.

I think the idea that a trailer should essentially be a mini-movie is weird. We've already seen the movie at this point. There's no reason to just do a scene by scene remake in 6 minutes. Why not do something a little more creative than just following the order of the movies. The actual trailers for each movie don't do that, they jumble up scenes and sequences to best match the music they're using.

I think I remember a cool trailer of all three OT films that was put together about the time Episode I was coming out. I can't recall where I saw it though.

It was the 2000 VHS re-release. It just popped into my head.

Anyway that was a cool trailer.

You know I don't really remember but I wouldn't mind seeing that again.

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I have been looking on and off for the last few hours with no luck.

I don't know if I have it or not. And my web space is down due to poverty levels, so I wouldn't be able to host it anyway.

The one off of the 2000 release is a good one, but I know it was only released in a VHS and LCD format. I am not sure how good the quality would be if one were to capture it.

I liked the Legacy project, but the quality of the video clips varied a bit, there were crappy Special Edition clips in there (dang you Hayden! Get off of Endor!) and I thought it was just a bit too wordy. And I didn't like the fonts. So there!! But the rest of it was pretty cool.

Well if someone were to capture the VHS version I wouldn't be opposed to reediting with DVD footage to make it all sparkly and new.

You might could consider the "celebrate the saga" video from C3 a supertrailer.
