DarthyMarkyMark-

I love your idea for an Episode V teaser. I did think of two additions.

One, I think it could start in black. You hear Yoda say, "Much anger in him..."

Fade in to the medium shot of Vader bowing on the platform. Yoda V.O. "Like his father."

Since this trailer is as if Episodes 1-3 already happened, there is no need to keep the surprise of Vader being Anakin and Luke's father.

I'd also include shots of Obi-Wan and Yoda together from episodes 1 and 2 when Ben says "Yoda, the Jedi Master who instructed me." Maybe include shots of the younglings, since it could be infered that Obi-Wan would be trained in a similar fashion. Yoda and Obi-Wan together at the end of Episode 1 where he's knighted and close-ups of Yoda and Obi-Wan at the end of the Youngling scene.

Just viewed trailer c. Terrific!!! I totally agree with the poster above who said it feels like a new trailer for something i've not seen (although quite the opposite is true!).

I really do envy the next generation of fans who will grow up with Episodes 1-6 as a sequence!

Yes, after seeing these trailers I so wish I could get a memory wipe next summer and see them all 1-6 for the first time.

Great work with the trailers. I also really like the teaser poster ideas with the "a new" segment.

Dude, those trailers rock! It gave me a sense of excitement I wasn't aware I could get from watching footage from something I've seen numerous times before.

By the way, Kaydon, are you planning on making any ESB and ROTJ trailers in the style of these ones?

Kayden, i have not been this excited about ANH since I don't know when. We need to find you a permanent site to keep posting these trailers. This is the most awesome things I have ever seen. The Force, it is strong in this one, No? Keep 'em coming (when you have time of course) awesome job!!!!!

My QT MoviePlayer version is ancient. When I try to watch one of the .mov trailers, it says that the compressor can't handle it. Can anyone provide a link where I can download a more recent version of QT?

I've gotta agree that I too am jealous of those who can see the Saga in the order of 1-6...also I really hope you'll do ESB and Jedi Trailers.

Ah! Finally I've been able to watch these trailers, great work indeed!

An idea for a quite cool Ep IV teaser would be to use Yoda's dialogue from Ep I and II referring to Anakin. Then include snippets of Anakin's actions, including the really great ones from Ep III that we've seen, and then end it with Vader coming aboard the Tantive IV.

Any thoughts on this idea? Gonna try to develop my thoughts around this a bit.

Inspired by Kaydons stuff i made my own ESB trailer, I took the Trailer pitch from Darthymarkymark and some comments from other fans here and made a quick one.

Its not as good as Kaydon's, as im not a professional or anything, anway take a look - unfortunately i wasnt able to get the sound to work in quicktime when i converted it? (any ideas anybody) so i have to put the original mpeg1 version up (sorry dialup users)

enjoy

I know the ending needs some work on the title, and the background music is a bit crappy - but suggestions and comments are welcome!

It was a good idea to use the Sidious - Vader dialogue to go through the trailer. The pace is a bit slow - but I get quite a good picture of this.
When the topic of the strength of the dark side comes up, why not include a short clip from the battle in the cave. We hear yoda say "quicker, easier", and we see Luke igniting the lightsaber.

And like it has been mentioned, to use the clip of Luke's direct hit on the death star when Sidious mentions "the boy who destroyed the death star", and even some other fast paced footage from Luke's flight in the battle of Hoth and Yeavin would make it more exiting and kinda bring a feeling that those two movies do belong together.

I wish I had possibilities to play around with this kind of thing, one day I'll get a new computer.

I like it! happy Maybe the Emperor's Theme would work better at the start than the Imperial March?

You should email these to LucasFilms or something. They might get a kick out of it.
