For TESB you could use:

"The masters of the Force will come back to SW" (Yoda and Sidius).

Fantastic trailers, guys!

Excuse my ignorance (I'm a newbie), but do you know if there is an official Lucasfilms policy on creating trailers, etc. My understanding is that there is pretty little flexibility under copyright law for fan work... Most of it just exists becuase it's bad PR to sue your biggest fans...

I've heard rumors that GL has set some parameters, but has it been set down in writing anywhere?

Sorry to get off topic on what's been some awesome work, but these questions are stuff I'm interested in.

"Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi -- Trailer Script"

by
-DARKSEID-


The concept behind this trailer is to make "the audience" believe Luke will suffer the same fate as Anakin and take the easy path into darkness. By doing this we show many shady/dark side moments from 'Jedi' that happen to Luke (Threats to Jabba, Force choke on Gamorreans, etc.)...

Also, as Obi Anne said earlier, Han's fate should be either ignored or lead you to believe that perhaps he may not be freed in this film (which means the credits can't be shown at the end of the trailer). So following these ideas, here's how I think a fan-made 'Jedi' trailer should play out:


MPAA NOTICE

20th CENTURY FOX LOGO

LUCASFILM LTD. LOGO

BLACK...

Distant laser fire from a space battle can be heard.

Distant noises of the lightsaber duel in Attack of the Clones...

YODA (V.O.)
Fear is the path to the dark side...

A familliar mechanical breathing noise... Over this, the Imperial March slowly fades in... it is quite quiet, but still audible.

FADE IN:

INT. JEDI COUNCIL CHAMBER (EPISODE I)

Anakin stands before the Council, looking at Mace after being told he's too old.

INT. CARBON FREEZE CHAMBER -- SLOW MOTION (EPISODE V)

INT. CELL -- CLOUD CITY -- SLOW MOTION (EPISODE V)

YODA

INT. TENT -- TUSKEN CAMP (EPISODE II)

Anakin looks up toward camera, eyes narrowed.

YODA (V.O.)
Anger leads to hate...

ANAKIN (EPISODE III TEASER)

Turning, eyes glowing.

YODA (V.O.)
Hate...

INT. CLOUD CITY FREEZING CHAMBER (EPISODE V)

The carbonite Han slams down.

YODA (V.O.)
... leads to suffering.

FADE TO:

CLOSE-UP: VADER (EPISODE IV)

Vader aboard the Tantive IV. The menacing breathing. The Imperial March...

YODA (V.O.)
I sense much fear in you...

INT. JABBA'S PALACE (SLOW MOTION)

EXT. DAGOBAH

--------------------

So if anyone wants to give it ago, feel free.

As for the legality of trailers.... I think the creators of Park Wars had that problem. They used the audio of the first five minutes or so from TPM and then had to do something different before it got illegal.
I think a certain amount, which such trailers and FanFilms don't exceed, is not only tolerated by LFL, but also legal, as far as I know (!), if nobody makes money through them.
If somebody want to know more, or more precise, I'm sure the guys in the FanFilms forum can answer this better (or maybe Adam is reading this thread).

Yo, Darth Seid.... that is an awesome idea for the teaser fan made trailer for Episode VI, but I think the sub-title at the end should be Revenge of the Jedi, not Return of the Jedi. However, yes, it is logical that the trailer would be Return of the Jedi due to the fact that Jedi don't take revenge, but it looks like look is in the trailer itself, and since it's just a teaser, let's say, like history has had, that his current title for Episode IV is Revenge of the Jedi... and the Return of the Jedi sub-title can be found in the theatretical trailer fan-made one I guess, if there will be one. wink

That's an interesting idea about using "Revenge of the Jedi" - but the problem is, if they'd been made in the order I-II-III-IV-V-VI, III would already have been called Revenge of the Sith, so George probably wouldn't have considered using "revenge" in the title again.

I will have a pop at the ROTJ trailer = when ive finished tinkering with my old ESTB trailer.

I was thinking of making a little website for each trailer so it looked like the proper star wars trailer sites?

Perhaps we can say that before he came to the final decision of calling Episode III Revenge of the Sith, he debated whether he'd use Revenge in the Episode VI title instead - but ultimately he decided that idea wouldn't work, so he kept Revenge in the Episode III title? grin

Well, regarding the website, I think if we decide on an overal graphic design the site can be built in no time. Then it'll be actually working, instead of just a bunch of ideas that we're throwing around.

So, with that in mind. How should we do it? Should it be kinda like the OS where it has the roman numerals for the next 3? That way as more "spy reports" come in for the films we can slowly update the info on each movie's page? What about the colors? How's it gonna be laid out? If we get these little things down, then we can start building the actual website.

i think we should go with a darker color scheme. You know, to go along with "LUKE A SITH" idea.

Is anyone doing a Revenge of the Jedi trailer by any chance. Also, where's the revised The Empire Strikes Back trailer you said you were doing?
