Thanks Ben, I'm glad you liked it! :), (that is your name right? Ben?)

I see what you mean by being quite general. I did intend it to be that way.

I actually made around a page of quotes which I thought would be good for the trailer, but I only ended using 4 or so... 

The thing is, from what I believe and understand from trailers, is that a trailer is not supposed to 'summarise' the story of a movie, but only to drop hints of what the movie is supposed to be about. And a teaser should be a more extreme version of that in giving little or almost no story at all (its supposed to 'tease' hence the name teaser). If you look at the official trailers, although they're very well made as videos, they are terrible as trailers!! Because they give the whole story away with the biggest spoiler quotes and scenes etc. I mean if you look at the Episode III one, they show everything of how Palpatine tries to seduce Anakin in turning to the dark side, how the clones turn on the jedi, all that etc. ... (yes Obi-wan in 'A New Hope' tells Luke of how his young Appentice 'Darth Vader' did all this, but still...) its too elaborate on the storyline. It basically summarises the whole film even though for the prequels it might seem obvious what happens with what we know to be in episodes 4, 5 and 6.

This is actually not my first trailer. My first is one I made for Episode I. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX7iSQ14yns&feature=plcp
