It was kind of depressing to watch all the trailers again, because the trailers are excellent.I don’t share your disappointment in TFA, but you just reminded me of how amazing the Phantom Menace trailer was. Remember how cool it was? The Internet was still in its infancy so people were queuing up and paying to see a movie and leaving after the trailer…
…then the film came out.
I’m one of those idiots who saw TPM multiple times in the theater because I enjoyed it. I don’t know what I was thinking, and I hope that doesn’t happen again…
I remember sitting in the the cinema trying to convince myself I was enjoying it. I couldn’t fully accept that it was terrible. It was only when I bought the VHS that I fully realised it sucked. I’ve only seen Episodes 2 and 3 once each and have no desire to ever watch them again.
But the TPM trailer was decent 😃 Now I’ve seen TFA I’m interested to go back and watch the trailers that I initially avoided for fear of spoilers.
