I know what you mean, a year always goes so slowly when you're waiting for something. Though the image excites me a lot, it has an air of drama around it. Especially with it being dusk/dawn (not sure which). If all of Ep.2 is like it (i.e. the backdrops), I don't think we could be disappointed. Did I just jinx that?
"Always in motion is the future." So are rumours.
Well, the rumours say Anakin comes to free his mother in a "friendly" Tusken Village where she dies due to Tusken violence. After a night of meditation grieving for his mother he gets up and walks into the village with his lightsabre lit. It is unclear how much violence, if any, will be shown.
