Having seen the RotS trailer, I'm amazed at how similar the beginning is to ANH trailer C. grin

Hmm...I think a cool TESB teaser trailer would be one similiar to AOTC, with just Vader's breathing sound (until the end if you want) and a bunch of short, intense, good, but dramatic shots of the movie. Like shots of Han and Leia looking at eachother, or/and many from the duel with Luke and Vader, or shots from the Asteroid chase, Cloud City and the Hoth ground assault battle. And just a couple shots of Yoda and Luke training.

And at the end, just before the SW: TESB logo comes on the screen, I think it would be cool if you saw the shot Darth Vader at the bottom of Bespin City on the bridge platform saying "Obiwan never told you what happened to your father."

Then cut to Luke's face devestated. Vaders breathing sound stops, and we see a one second intense moment piece of footage from the Luke VS Vader saber duel with the saber sound used and then the TESB logo comes up......then it fades to black and the "The Saga Continues Summer 2011" text comes up and then it fades to black.

ive managed to convert the trailer to quicktime - also changed bits of it ! - i still think it needs to be more pacey, and the music needs sorting out - still here u go.


Anyone else want to do a scene by scene trailer description, perhaps i could change it all! who knows

Better, but converting it to quicktime format some how made the aspect ratio a bit weird.

Kaydon_Sentry:

Wow! Those 3 trailers are ingenious! nerd
Even though ANH is nearly 40 years gone... it still is awesomely inspiring! And you sure brought it too life. cool applause

Keep 'em coming. I'm telling all of my friends on TFN to check it out!

darthevilbob:

Your trailer is awesome! Thank-you for all of your hard work. I really enjoyed it.

To all:

If you haven't seen these trailers. SEE THEM.
Keep the ideas going... you can see how spectacular the "written trailers" are in your minds eye. Inspiration is the key.

Peace. peace

Here are some ideas for the music cues for the great ESB trailer of Darkseid. I'm afraid I've had the change a bit of the trailer, though. I don't know how well these will work, but they're just ideas - it's hard to tell until you can hear it and see it.

GREEN MPAA NOTICE

CUT TO:

20TH CENTURY FOX

LUCASFILM LOGO...

FADE TO:

BLACK...

YODA (V.O.)
Hmmm...

FADE IN:

- The music for this first section could be the great cue at the end of "The Droid Invasion/The Appearance of Darth Maul" on the original TPM soundtrack release. It has a very creepy kind of pipe music, then it fades into The Emperor's Theme - this might be a good way to start the trailer, then have the music fading out ...

UNTIL ...

BLACK...

Slow shots... no sound effects, only music:

- This whole next section could be the Force Theme that starts the TPM and RotS teaser trailers - it's from the end of the track "Attack of the Sand People" in ANH.

UNTIL

BLACK...

The SOUND OF VADER'S BREATHING....

SMASH CUT TO:

AN EXPLOSION ON HOTH!

[Here the exciting John Williams action scene music comes in]

- This cue could be the great music that's used in the end action section of the RotS trailer - it's from TPM: Ultimate Edition Disc 2, and the track is "The Tide Turns/The Death of Darth Maul" - it's very frantic near the start, before it gets to the Force Theme. Another idea could be "The Asteroid Field" from ESB itself, although maybe that's not dark/frantic enough for this trailer.

UNTIL ...

SIDIOUS (V.O.)
The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi.

- Rather than having Sidious' dialogue as a voice over straight after the action montage, it might be best to fade to black for a moment (maybe after an explosion?) before showing Luke jumping over the log, and then the VO. The music of this next section might be just quiet music leading to the end. I'll need to think about this one a bit.

UNTIL

CUT TO:

CREDITS.....


Then...

"THE SAGA CONTINUES 2011..."

Can't wait until someone does a ROTJ one.

Not a trailer, but...

I loved Lord_Hydronium's idea for Episode IV posters. Hope you don't mind that I went ahead and made some according to your specs.

They're nothing fantastic, but I loved LH's concept:

My SW-IV posters

Here's my idea for a "teaser" it's a melding of other stuff:

20TH Century Fox Logo

Lucasfilm Logo

music - anything soft and eerie from the trilogy. Maybe the emperors theme, but even that might be too powerful.

FADE IN: Vader kneeling
"What is they bidding, my master."

Sidious
"There is a great disturbance in the force."

Close up on Obi-wans ghost so you can't see hoth.
"You will be trained by Yoda."

Shots of Luke levitating rocks, and other shots of him training with Yoda.

Sidious (V.O.)
"The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi."

Vader (V.O.)
"He will join us or die."

music - something like a loud metallic thump after every line Yoda says

Scenes go by quickly:

Yoda (V.O.)
"Fear leads to Anger."
Any shot of Luke looking frightened will suffice.

Yoda (V.O.)
"Anger leads to Hate."
Shot of Luke slicing off the head of Vader.

Yoda (V.O.)
"Hate leads to Suffering."
Han Solo in carbonite hitting the ground.

Yoda (V.O.)
"The Darkside"
Vaders head explodes revealing Luke.

Music - Action packed music from the trilogy.

Random action scenes, pick ones that are important, but not important enough to give away anything.

End it with Vader holding his lightsaber in front of Lukes face near the end of their battle on Bespin.

Music boils up, and then stops...

Vaders Breathing...

Fade In:
EPISODE V
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

Vader (V.O.)
"Obi-wan never told you what happened to your father."

Vader breathing...

Credits

This Summer

I think this trailer gives up everything and nothing...
