    That seemed really weird without the John Williams score.

    Wow! That looks like a horrible movie. I'm not going to go see it. I'll might check it out if it gets to HBO.

    Great minds...as soon as I heard this, I began trying to memorize it. It's so awesome in all of its bad-ness.

    Wasn't Cristopher Walken considered for Han Solo originally? That would've been amazing, one way or another.

    Is anyone else annoyed when 'light-year' is used as a unit of time ("light-years ahead of its time!")?

    Walken, Burt Reynolds, and Billy Dee Williams were all considered for Han Solo. IIRC, Reynolds actually tuned it down. Some others were considered too, but I can't remember exactly who.

    Is that true? SNL did a sketch with their audition tapes but I thought they were just making it up. Kevin Spacey played Walter Matthau auditioning for Obi Wan Kenobi. Richard Dryfuss auditioning for C3P0

    Nerd alert! J/K. I don't find that as annoying as hearing explosions in space battles, but obviously for the sake of cinema I understand why they have it.

    It's a high stakes game of world diplomacy and international intrigue.

    I've never appreciated John Williams more then after watching the trailer without his music.

    Man, movie trailers used to suck balls.

    I can't watch trailers without the cliche intro of plot/characters, slow build up of dramatic music, followed by quickly flashing, almost indescrernable clips from the film as the music reaches it climax, sudden complete stop of everything as the screen goes black, appearance of the title screen, few seconds of silence as it cycles though studio/actor credits, random 1/2 second clip at the end that sometimes scary or dramatic, and final screen showing the season and year the film is due to be released.

    Now that's a real trailer.
