If Ken decides this doesnt belong in here, he will move it.

I was looking at all these vids tonight and it just brings the feeling that much closer for me that 24 hours from now will be the closing of this part of the last 28 years of my life. crybaby

So one last time for us I posted this look back, check out the links below.

And thanks George for all the fun and memories. thumbsup

PLease leave the Extended Universe out of this discussion. I really just want to talk about the movies ending. smile

astrofan428
This is a good thread, just last week I went through all these same adds on the 1 and 2 dvds. I really liked looking at the posters and production shots.

Darth MoonPIE
Yeah... sad its going to end. But at the same time there is so much room in the star wars universe for story telling for books, comics, cartoons and such. So much time I put into this silly movie "Star Wars" I wonder what I'll do after I've seen this movie 10 times in the theater and 100 times on dvd and finally get tired of it.... get a life?? no way.. thats madness!

astrofan428
Two things I am looking forward to are the tv series and also with another generation of game consoles coming, the level and story and detail you could put in an original SW game can be amazing.

Jedi Priestess
OK, I cant understand the whole EU thing, but I'd just as soon leave this thread for talking about the end of the movies please. smile

And astro, just going back and watching these now seriously makes me tear up. cry

DarkYoda
I think for you, Ken will make an exception. wink

astrofan428
The breathing trailer from E2 still gives me chills.

It is sad but yet so great at the same time.

Jedi Priestess
Oh pffft Ive been warned with the best of em by Ken believe me. laughing out loud

So which one of those trailers really gives you that feeling that hits ya right where it hurts?

For me the Forbidden Love one from ATOC and the Qui-Gon One Destiny ones are good.

Darth MoonPIE
Yeah personally im not really into EU, but I was just mentioning it.

Im a sensitive guy and I tear up alot during sad parts in good movies.. star wars being one of them, I can understand how you can be sad about such a great thing coming to an end.

astrofan428
I cant cry tomorrow night, I am going with two non-sw fanatics. I cant lose face, maybe I will cry next time.

Darth MoonPIE
Yeah im going to see the movie with 5 other people who like star wars but arnt really into it as much as I am, with the exception of my older brother who grew up watching to OT and is really hyped about this movie.

So Im going to have to hold it back and not turn into a cry baby. I'll just get a little teary eyed and hopefully they wont notice.

astrofan428
If there is one ad that never got me, it was that Yoda Da Man ad.

Darth MoonPIE
I've never liked the ep2 ads much. with those character profiling type deal. lame stick out tongue

DarkYoda
Watch Jar Jar: One friend. I swear it will make you want to die. laughing

astrofan428
Alot of the E1 where really well done, really helped introduce to all the new or revamped charcters.

jon84
I still waiting for GL to release the utimate limited edition DVD for all six SW films, imagine having two cuts for each film, the original cut 77-83 and the special edition cuts 97-04 for the OT and maybe an extendend cut for the PT... I'm holding out till that day comes, for now i'll stick with my remastered VHS tapes and the crappy VCD editions.

Btw, the VCD's are 100% legit, not some crappy bootleg.

Oh yea, ty for posting JP. I am going to watch those later. wink

PS: i didn't want to start a new thread so i'm posting this stuff in here! sick

Jedi Priestess
Now see I much prefered the AOTC ads to TPM ads. There was just so much more to them I thought. And I have never been a fan of the Breathing Trailer.


Guess I should have tacked on the Ep3 page as well....my bad.

Darth MoonPIE
I've seen all the ep1 ads at least once, and im never going to click that ad willingly ever again, you will have to drug me or torture me or something to make me click it..

DarkYoda
Goodness... just about all of the Episode I tv ads suck.

This one is kind of cool...
http://www.starwars.com/episode-i/release/trailer/vhs2.html

astrofan428
Honestly though, as far as tv ads(not trailers) grabbing me, I have to go hands down with E3.

They really sell the emotional weight of the film, like End of Wars and Protect. Even Tragedy from the first batch with battle of heroes blaring.

Darth MoonPIE
with the exception of one truth

Jedi Priestess
Yeah that was KILLER! MAUL was definitely the main attraction for me.


Now the R2 one from ATOC is so funny. laughing out loud

Sadako of Girth
Truly Nostalgia-tastic JP.... So many memories there, Some remembered as "Pahhhh! It seemed so good at the time" and some that'll be truly enhanced by the conclusion of the Saga.....

Forbidden love already seems so much weightier.....and more foreboding...
For me the ep2 trailers were when the real quality started to emerge.

It truly is the end of an era and these trailers really bring it home....

Darth MoonPIE
I still get goose bumps watching the duel between maul, qui gon and obi-wan, especially when duel of the fates really gets going.

astrofan428
I hated those profession ads from E2.

J.M FcThumbs-Up
I had real fun in the Palpatine-ways.....his cunning, his plan, his game....finally he'll kick the crap out of the Jedi and then it will be just a memory!!!!!

DarkYoda
Palpatine's awesome!!! Ian will own this movie. evil face

J.M FcThumbs-Up
Those EP2 ads where cool.....but these EP3 ads are killercool>especially End of Wars!

Are you kidding??? Those were fantastic I thought. At least going back tonight and watching them they were.

Darth MoonPIE
The profile of character ep2 ads are terrible, EP3 adds ruleeeeeeeee, EP1 ads are ok with the exception of jar jar... no comment!

Nah, those where definatly the kid friendly ads of e2, I love when the ads take SW seriously. Like I hate the jedi action and unleashed ads for e3, they dont fit the tone of the movie.

J.M FcThumbs-Up
Oke.......I'm getting ready for Ep3 now.....see ya after the show....YAHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....later folks

Darth MoonPIE
The blood boils of jealousy..

After seeing "Return of the Jedi" Wednesday, I was left with
a question. I'm pretty sure that Episodes I, II, and II will be
about Anakin (Darth Vader) Skywalker and how he was drawn to the
Dark Side of the force (what is the offer he couldn't refuse?).
But, what will Episodes VII, VIII, and IX be about? Will the
Empire rise into power once more, lead by a sinister, new leader?
Or will a new enemy terrorize the galaxy?

Why does everyone hate the 'Breathing' trailer? This is one of my favorites. It sent chills down my spine the first time I saw it.

Jedi Priestess
Just never was impressed by it, sorry.
