The only actor who in my opinion, who stood out in the prequels was Ian Mcdiarmid. His performance in Episode III was the best in the movie. I also think that Hayden played off of Ian really well in their scenes together... but I did not care for Hayden otherwise. I'll quit whining about the prequels now.

I would start saying let's get back on topic, but...what topic lol.
Hmmmm, someone quick, think of an over dramistised debate to agrue about till the trailer.

Can we please just talk about Adywan's edit in this thread. You have plenty of anti-(insert ANYTHING Star Wars here) threads to choose from.

Yeah, sorry. I did mean to add something on-topic to my previous post, but seem to have forgotten.
I am definitely looking forward to the new trailer. Sometimes trailers are better than the final movie- I know that both the trailer and the final product will be fantastic. :D

I knew the avalanche of videos would have to stop sometime. We already have more than we did for ANHR and we probalby aren't halfway through it! I can't wait for a fully-functional trailer. I think you should use the announcer audio from the SE trailers. I really like the "And a few new surprises." It would really work well with your trailer, I'm sure!

I loved the SE trailer back in the day. Really amped me up to go see them on the big screen for the first time. (I was not alive when they originally came out)Too bad it did not really turn out like I hoped.... oh well, thats what Adywan's versions are for. Can't wait for the new trailer! Anyone start a countdown yet? lol

doubleofive, that would be a great idea. Take the old special edition trailer of empire, and and use it to show case Ady's changes. Would work perfectly!

Or how about try something completely NEW for the new trailer? Stay away from fade in titles ("Every saga has a beginning," etc.), keep it non-linear, maybe (just maybe) try some music OTHER than the Star Wars score? It could work, but then again it coule be a complete mess. As long as the framework is sound, the trailer could stand out as something special and not just ANOTHER Star Wars trailer.
I love movie trailers, but I'm just kinda sick of seeing the same structure, especially for Star Wars trailers. I really do enjoy the teaser for "2012" that's beeing shown now. It's very reminiscent of "The Shining" teaser back in the day and stands out as something relatively unique amongst the myriad of formulaic trailers out there.
Just itching for something fresh is all....

Maybe when ROTJ:R is far enough along, Ady could make a side trip to re-do that trailer with his own clips. :-)
My outlook on life - we’re all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.

The only time trailers have music from elsewhere in them is the early ones before the film has a proper score to pull music from. The music is as much a part of SW as any other element. It wouldn't feel right to change it.

Now there's a really cool idea. Wait until you have footage from all 3, then do a full "Original Trilogy Revisited" trailer. Maybe even throw in some of that great cg work to update the already semi-outdated looking trailer effects. That would be a fine trailer indeed.

I really like how they used this music for the Attack of the clones trailer. It's the music from the ROTJ sailbarge scene.

Great idea!
I'm paraphrasing here, but 'for an entire generation, people have watched Star Wars the only way it's been possible...[with a horrible blue tint job.] But if [that's the way you've been forced to watch it], you haven't seen it at all!'

Actually I liked this color corection of the SE ( don't hit me :) )
It blend the scenes and reduce the black&white 80s style.
But I enjoy Ady's color correction and I follow him to whatever he will do.

Your first statement is simply not true. Countless final trailers feature music from different sources and not the movie directly. There are even composers/companies out there who create scores just for trailers (ParodiFair, for example, though I'm unsure if they're still in the business). The music of Star Wars is epic and is instantly recognizable as Star Wars in any context. It just isn't an absolute necessity in EVERY modern Star Wars trailer. Look at the trailers made for the defunct Star Wars: Reborn trilogy. Not Star Wars, but very effective.
I'm thinking more along the lines of some obscure instrumental metal tracks, not a piece taken from another movie's score. Hell, even a track culled from classical music would be nice. Just not something easily recognizable, or beaten to death ("Carmina Burana" anyone? - I could live a long, healthy life without hearing that in a trailer ever again.) Most of the epic Star Wars cues have already been use ad nauseam in the trailers already out there.
Obscurity is the key. You cannot plunk down a Star Trek track or any other instantly recognizable track in the background of a Star Wars trailer. That wouldn't sound right. Something less known is needed to make the whole two minutes gel.
Ah, the hell with it. I need to learn some video editing and I could show you what I mean. Now to learn how to edit, that's the real trick, isn't it? :)

like the music, bad for the trailer. i'd like to hear a duel of the fates or battle of heros for the jedi trailer. that'd be
cool. i remember how cool it was to see the SE trailer for the OT. that's when i first saw it and fell in love with the
saga. then i bought the OT without realizing the special effects were missing. still, seeing that and the special
editions was a great way to see improvement.

Ditto. Most horribly overused music for trailers, especially the youtube variety. I agree that some lower-key, unfamiliar music may work, maybe transitioning into the familiar themes of Star Wars farther into the trailer. So far I love the trailers that Adywam puts out- they have enough of a nostalgic mystique to them that they serve both the purpose of an actual trailer for each episode as well as a "hey look, this is awesome" Revisited aspect. Those elements on the scale of the SE trailer would be great.
