there is a video game trailer i was hoping to find on youtube but its not there.  Its hard to describe. I think it was around 2000-2002, it was for star wars galaxies.  The commercial starts off with several scenes from the game, set to the music when we first realize ben kenobi is obi-wan in SW.  there was one scene with a young girl running across a grassy field,  the music at this exact moment was the same force theme when obi-wan says "i haven't gone by the name of obiwan so before you were born.  and it absolutely captivated me in a way i wanted TPM.   not long after, i was shaking my head wondering why it was a commercial for a star wars game was more moving to me than one of the actual movies !?

someday I'll find the commercial.  lol, maybe it won't hold up as well but i'll never forget that moment when that girl was running across the field.

I could have SWORN I replied to this before, but this is likely the trailer you mean.

SWG was incredibly captivating early on; I remember just being overwhelmed be the fact that I was playing a character who was me in Star Wars and hearing the opening music of the game always gave me chills because of the potential of exploration. The idea that we could finally explore the Star Wars universe was mind boggling, and for awhile, they were on the right track. Shame it went south.
