    The original trailer:

    A modern trailer:

    Link to video

    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      That was terrific! Thanks for sharing.

      They showed so many clips in that original trailer, but it was in a time where folks didn't have the internet where they could analyze every microsecond for spoilers, haha.

        Yeah, like Vader sitting at the table in Cloud City. Major spoiler there.

        However, by the time people went to see the movie in the theater, they would have forgotten what was in the trailer, because it was long, long, gone.

            The most interesting part about the old one was how low-rent the audio voice over is. The voice over is the quality you'd expect from a local car ad.

            Only non-witches get due process.

              That, but even the video quality was crap.

                Or when they showed the clip "I am your father"... talk about SPOILER ALERT, jeez.

                  To me the difference was more like a piece written in a major vs minor scale.
