Glad to hear about the lawsuit filed against Sega/Gearbox for false advertising over their 'Colonial Marines' game. If you don't know the story...

..."it seems" to me at least that they fabricated amazing looking custom videos of the game to show at press events. These were labelled clearly as "gameplay demos" (They then embargoed all reviews of the game) but when people went to buy on the day of release, it was a different utterly sh*tty game. As detailed here...

Hense the lawsuit. I was wondering if such a case could be filed against George Lucas for 'The Phantom Menace' Trailer. As it features; different and convincing vocal performance throughout not in the film / alternate and superior sound FX / multiple pieces of amazing music not in the film / omits Jake Lloyd's lackluster performance entirely / and grossly misrepresents Jar-Jar's character by only usinng one of his lines and probably his least annoying one at that.

^ Still want to see that movie

Tongue slightly in-cheek with this one. But still worth discussing. IMDB lists it as making £200 million on opening weekend so that's a big lawsuit ;-)
