*Are there two versions of this trailer? I know the original has blue lasers. I am interested in knowing what the version floating around on Youtube, with red lasers and a weird font at the end is. Is it a recreation?
There often seems to be alot of confusion on the release order of the trailers for ESB, not really surprising as they are mislabeled on the official 2004 bonus DVD as well.
1979 Teaser Trailer #1 [McQuarrie] ("The Empire has been repulsed")
See my post here: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Dolby-Digital-41-Surround-Alien-Anthology/post/579347/#TopicPost579347 different cropping and lack of logo on the 2004 DVD version. Never seen a full scope version of either one.
1979 Teaser Trailer #2 ("Luke Skywalker and Han Solo rescued the princess")
^ Ford narration, it is mislabeled Launch Trailer on the 2004 bonus DVD. The official release is in solid quality, seems to be exactly the same one used on the Editdroid disc.
1979, 1980 Teaser Trailer #3 [Vivaldi] ("A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away")
Not found on the official 2004 bonus DVD, as already mentioned Team -1 have beautifully restored a scope version recently. Looks fantastic! I've heard that there should exist one without narration but I don't know if it's true or not. What you saw on Youtube is most definitely a fan-recreation, the original contains blue AT-AT laser fire.
1980 Theatrical Trailer ("The new chapter in the continuing Star Wars saga is now in our galaxy")
Not found on the official 2004 bonus DVD, as mentioned above the '79 Teaser took its place. Found on the Editdroid disc, Ok quality but cropped.
1981 Re-Release Trailer ("The Star Wars saga continues, returning for a limited engagement")
Not found on the official 2004 bonus DVD or Editdroid. Source ???
1982 Re-Release Trailer ("The Star Wars Saga continues, with a special limited engagement of")
Visually identical to the '80 Theatrical, just different announcement. Included on the 2004 bonus DVD. The official release is in solid quality but cropped, seems to be exactly the same one used on the Editdroid disc.
