Star Wars Episode 3 Trailer
Film 11/04/2004 |This conversation between Prairie and I pretty much sums it all up.
Me: oooh - you’re _so_ not going to care about this — and I really shouldn’t, either — but the first trailer for Star Wars Ep. 3 came out today
Me: (laughs) Prairie: giggles Prairie: oh… how… wonderful… Me: i sat and watched it, knowing that I shouldn’t care, but…dammit…it’s Star Wars, and Lucas still makes it _look_ like Star Wars Me: lol Me: even when I know the movie’s probably going to suck, it’s got the music, and the space ships, and lightsabers, and Darth Vader…and…garggh! Prairie: haha—just keep reminding yourself that it’s only pseudo-Star Wars Me: and then I had to remind myself that the last two sucked Me: and I really _didn’t_ need to go buy them to complete the collection Prairie: aww! I promise not to make too much fun of you if you go to see it Prairie: although if you go twice I’ll probably mock you brutally Me: :laughs Prairie: you definitely don’t need to buy the whole collection Prairie: (hides your wallet just in case) Me: (sighs) Me: i know Me: but… Me: (whine) Me: lol Prairie: no! Prairie: not REALLY Star Wars Prairie: no matter how much it might LOOK like it is Me: yeah Prairie: (steers you in a different direction) Prairie: (takes the new trailer away from you) Me: my brain knows that Me: the fanboy in me that grew up with the movies and still loves the space battles and cool aliens and laser swords and all that is still having difficulties accepting that, though Prairie: (distracts you while a team of hypnotists goes to work on the part of your brain that still thinks there’s a chance that the new movie will be good) Me: :laughs Prairie: I’m in favor of watching the old ones as often as you want Prairie: but unless a miracle occurs and the last of the new ones is good, I hope never to see those Me: ah, well Me: i’ll have to see it once Prairie: just ‘cause you’ve gotta know Prairie: (and ‘cause you’re braver than I)

Oh now DON’T dis the trailer, I saw it on a newsfeed a couple hours ago and am going to go watch it a couple more times. The lava is pretty spiffy. Pops is nowhere near as much of a Star Wars nut as me, though, so I am not going to be able to talk much about it with him tomorrow. Guess I’m just going to have to go off to the theforce.net forums and lurk among all those people with usernames like Darthgarth and Vaderbaiter and so forth …

See, that’s the thing, though — given the quality of the last two movies (or, specifically, lack thereof) I feel like I should dis the trailer. And yet…that music comes on, and Darth Vader’s table slowly rises into frame…and I just can’t do it!
Sigh.
I want it to be good. I really do. But after episodes one and two…well, I guess you could say that “I find my lack of faith disturbing.”

I can understand it being hard because of the last two movies. I was recently talking to my brother-in-laws and said Star Wars is not the movie it was when we were kids. As you grow up you see the flaws. The best example is how the Ewoks become more annoying. Star Wars will always be enjoyable to watch because of the memories of being a kid. It is not on the same level as Lord of the Rings for acting or script strength. Episodes I & II are not on the same level as the first three, but they do affect them. With Episode III, it is no longer the Star Wars Triolgy but Star Wars Saga. When I watch them now, I focus on the story, not the acting or the portions that have a bad dialog. The heart of the story is what I watch for. This allows me to enjoy them as an escape. At the same time it would be pretty cool to see if Jar Jar gets killed in III. If he does, it better be good. Empire is still the best one out of any them. Sith is looking good from the trailer, but I have learned not to hold my breath.
