Well... I've been a Star Trek fan longer than I've been a Star Wars fan. I first saw Star Trek when I was four years old and its been over 30 years now and I think I'm a pretty good judge of a voice. I tell you this - I am absolutely convinced that this is not only William Shatner on this Star Wars Trailer but Harrison Ford on the Empire trailer. What's more if anyone on this board can conclusively prove me wrong. I will leave this place and never return.

I don't see why it's so much of a stretch for Shatner, it was the late 70's, Star Trek was well in the can, Shatner was known as a great voice over talent and what's more he's even known for doing other movie trailers.

If it is indeed a mistake and I end up looking like a fool, I'll take it on the chin, admit my mistake and leave.
