The most insidious thing ever...
The prank was based on actual rumor...which is pretty damn funny. It is now becoming hard to decipher what was created from rumor and what was the joke.
I personally think it's frickin' great...
Two things I have yet to figure out...interactivity and trailer.
INTERACTIVITY: It was claimed that the new OS was interactive. (i.e. Anakin's eyes would switch to evil, vader's breathing, lightsabers clashing)
TRAILER: Many have claimed to have seen a new trailer running around three minutes at the OS, the link is hidden...but because it was probabaly flash based, it couldn't be saved. A MOD at the OS said "it's clever" and there will be "an announcement" next week. One person said "it's right under Vader's nose..." Latest: The mod says it was removed pending the announcement.
Note...this is not a TV spot people are claiming to see.

I'm not convinced...
EDIT:
"Qui-Gon and it looks like Darth Maul. They seem almost friendly. They seem to be talking to someone during the trailer, not to each other." -- haha, WTF?!?
