Post comments here fellow EU fans, and let us know your reactions. ( No posting of links - please use StarWars.com )
Just saw it for the first time ( aside from some hazy images elsewhere on the web the other day )
Pretty sweet, even though my Quicktime sound isn't working...but it's no big deal since Vader's breathing is all there is.
Anakin and Padme - Cool.
Ship flying over rocky planet - Cool.
Threepio with coverings - Cool.
Jango Fett flying with jetpack - DOUBLE cool. This guy is going to get us Fett fans wanting more.
Yoda - Totally CG. Looks good. Looks a lot like ROTJ Yoda.
Mace Windu - In the background, you can see Padme and Jar Jar walk in.
Naboo - Looks like a new area in Theed. Large flat platform area...some kind of spaceport. An unknown ship is landing.
Water planet - Looks like Bespin's Cloud City over a rainy ocean, with lightning in the sky.
Obi-Wan - He's suspended in some kind of containment field. Looks like a similiar thing that Luke is trapped in, in Dark Empire. Also seems to be a recycled Lucas idea from the early ANH scripts.
Padme and Anakin on the Lars homestead, kissing - Cool.
Thousands of Clonetroopers boarding a huge transport. Looks really awesome.
Asteroid field shot with Slave I coming towards the camera with guns blazing. This reminded me of playing X-wing or Dark Forces. 
Watto - He's got a funny little tin hat from early conceptual drawings from TPM.
Speeder flying through Galactic City - Looks like same angle from Anakin flying his Pod in the Boonta Eve race.
Obi-Wan hanging suspended from a speeder ( I think ) - Cool.
Bunch of kids at some computer consoles - Interesting.
Anakin and Obi-Wan running through a dark area with lightsabers ignited - Anakin's is green, Obi-Wan's is blue. Due to spoilers, I can't explain this here.
And finally, Anakin dueling...with someone.

Thanks for the heads-up and the summary, Sturm Antilles. As you said, it's cool.
Hmmm... Is it me, or Yoda is too green and has too many hair?

OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD I JUST HAD A KRIFFIN' GIDDY SPASM !!!
(sorry for the Caps Lock)
I had no idea it'd be that great... Wow.
I tried to avoid most spoilers, and there was a lot of surprises in there. It's really fantastic.
The only thing that disappointed was this platform in the sea, I think it looks too much CG, but I bet it'll be improved by the release.
Between completing at last my Tales of the Jedi collection and this trailer, I can say out loud : this is a wonderful day !!!
Missa happy !!!

I can't open it until I get QT5.  That picture of Jango is cool though.

Glad I wasn't the only who spasmed when he saw it the first time... it was totally excellent. I was in tears. This is going to blow Empire Strikes Back out of the water, no doubt.

It was okay. To tell the truth the Episode I trailer impressed me more. I sat there just watching it over and over for hours. It was amazing. This one was kind of, eh...cool. It would've been much better with music and sound rather than the Vader breathing.
Top Trailers now:
Fellowship of the Rings
The Phantom Menace
WarCraft III
Ice Age
Attack of the Clones

Star Wars music is too triumphant though for episodes 2 & 3. I suppose they could have used the "Imperial March" music, but I think Vader's breathing was much more effective in foreboding the erie and hazy future of Anakin Skywalker.

The teaser was sweet though i did not view it on my computer. I went to see monsters INC on Saturday and got to watch it that way. On a big screen it is much more impressive. The only sound in the theater was Vader's breathing and the sound of four geeks gripping the arms of their seats (me and my friends) I can not wait till May

Mastadge, you got a link to Ice Age trailer ? I saw all those trailers you mentionned - and I agree they're really good -, except that one, and of course i'd like to watch it.

I saw it on Norwegian tv
I liked it
They had spoiled the whole thing with music
The breathing on the trailer makes it more intens
Loved they way the sceens shift with the breathing.
I think it was a great first teaser.
It left me wanting MORE

The Ice Age Trailer EDIT -- looks like you'll have to copy and paste those links, this board automatically threw a space or two in there.

No question about it, Lucasfilm can make good trailers. Still, the small size is annoying- they should be thanking me for watching their advertisement, not trying to sell me Quicktime Pro.
