Teaser Trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEDFGzqMgpI

 A little off topic, but does anyone know what music is being played over the trailer. I'd really like to know

Okay greenpenguino, you got me curious about that, so I went over to Soundtrack.net, as I find their trailer music info. is usually quite comprehensive there.  (If you click on 'resources' at the top of their homepage, you'll then get a 'trailer music' option.  Once you click on that, you'll then get an alphabet to choose whatever movie you're interested in)

Well, it turned out that their trailer music listing for 'Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope' shows it as being 'The Four Seasons: "Winter" by Antonio Vivaldi.

But I'm not sure if that's actually correct or not, however. 

yes, it's been reported many times as being the first movement of "Winter" from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and I'm pretty sure it is, too. It may not be very recognizable here because usually the piece is played at a faster tempo. Here's a recording with a similarly slow tempo:

EDIT

I stand corrected, the recording in the trailer is even slower, as the same bars of music that should be played in 40-45 seconds are stretched out over 2 minutes of screen time!
