Star Wars Episode 1 3D "Kid's Trailer" fail of apocalyptic proportions

Bane

Okay, I know the trailer itself is shitty and all kinds of terrible, but:

"Hurry up, Qui-Gon! You don't want to be late for your celebration!"
*cuts to a shot of the celebration at the end of the film... which by that point, Qui-Gon is dead*

GodricGryffindor

Cheese overflow.

G.G.

GodricGryffindor

That was absolutely terrible. Wow.

This reminds me of the television special/movie promos they would have during Saturday morning cartoons, narrated by a young-ish, irritating voice.

Darth Ledger

Hahahahahahaha hooooly SHIT I wish you could see my face right now... I'm laughing more than I have in weeks... I turned it off after 24 seconds... Hurry up Qui Gon! We all came just as soon as we thought you were dead

Darth Ledger

I almost have to show that to my friend, he will laugh his ass off.. Thank you bane I needed this

Bane

You're welcome, hopefully I won't be late for your great great great great great great great grandson's 89th birthday

Darth Ledger

I hope he One day suffers from my shitty decision making... So no hard feelings if you miss it o->

I've never seen Star Wars in my whole life.
Now I'm not planning on ever seeing it.

Episode 1 is kiddy but not nearly as bad as this commercial makes it out to be, and still enjoyable despite some bad acting.
Episode 2 is better than Episode 1, has a much better story and an amazing second/third act.
Episode 3 is amazing and the best of the prequels, and arguably the most emotional and tragic.
Episode 4 is amazing.
Episode 5 is amazing.
Episode 6 is very good.

Bane

However, my argument that Episode 1 being childish intentionally to provide amazing contrast to how dark Episode 3 is was a brilliant troll by George Lucas still stands after all these years.

Yeah, Jake Lloyd is terrible, Natalie Portman is okay for one of her first movies, and Jar Jar is the most annoying thing ever.
On the other hand, Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, Samuel Jackson, Ian McDiarmid, Terrance Stamp and BRIAN BLESSED.

Bane

Yeah people act like Episode 1 is just bad all around, and while it certainly carries some lameness there are a lot of great aspects as well. The action is fantastic and very well shot/staged (one of Lucas' strengths), effects are great, music is amazing, it's actually legitimately sad when Anakin leaves his mom, Qui-Gon's death was amazing, Obi-Wan vs. Darth Maul kicks all kinds of ass, the art direction is phenomenal, etc.

Too bad people let a few stupid things kill their enjoyment overall. It's not a bad movie. I've seen bad movies.

Hess

Hell, I'm watching this at the theater.

Martin1

I never got to experience Star Wars in theaters. I'll endure all the shitty ass commercials, loll, I'll be seeing all of these.

Bane

Star Wars movies ARE theatrical experiences through and through. When I watch them at home it's just not the same.

aaron

I saw the preview for this film in front of a 3D film in theaters, so the trailer was in 3D and on the big screen it looked phenomenal. Really want to see it.

mattStrelow

"That's not fair!"

decarus

Are they going to release all six in 3D?

RyGuy

BRING ME SOLO AND THE WOOKIE!!!!!!!

Hess

Are they going to release all six in 3D?

That would be off the chain. TAKE MY MONEY GEORGIE!!

Nick

Are they going to release all six in 3D?

if Episode one does well at the Box Office then yes they will.

Haylee12

rofl XD. BEST TRAILER EVER.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually my sister and i have been watching all on the movies on bluray in preparation for this since we got the blu ray nine disk set for Christmas. We're currently up to episode V. I wish George Lucas had in included the original versions of the movies not the updated ones. Theres something about the non CGI that made the movies, oh well.

aaron

Episode I 3D has received some new negative reviews on RT, which actually dropped it down to 59%, meaning it's now a negative rating (rotten tomato)...yikes.

Darth Ledger

Holy crap... I didn't know re-releases factored in on that!

Nick

i will not be seeing this.

Lord Stafford

Way to have faith, Nick.

Lord Stafford.

Lord Stafford

Are they going to release all six in 3D?

I imagine so, yes. Unless this one does terribly, it would be pointless to just release the 'one' and forget about the others.

Lord Stafford.

Darth Ledger

They will release them all. Most people are waiting patiently for the OT, and people like me have to see Revenge of the Sith in 3D or they will croak and die. Just have to push through the first two!

I'm taking my son with me Saturday night! I'm excited for another chance for SW on the big screen and being able to take my son. He was born the year Phantom Menace hit theaters, so he's never had the big screen experience.

Lord Stafford

I'm going to see it at some point on Sunday.

Lord Stafford.

decarus

I actually really like Phantom Menace. I know people have mad hate for Jar Jar, but eh he is a minor character and the rest of the film more then makes up for it. I actually find little Anakin more annoying at times then Jar Jar, but it works out alright.

yonythemoony

I never saw what made them annoying, they're actually the reason why I wanted to watch the movie on first place.

Hess

People just like to hate.

yonythemoony

People just like to hate.

THIS. If it wasn't for Phantom Menace, I wouldn't liked Star Wars in first place. And I found pathetic people whining about the prequels, it's the same story, for God's sake!

Lord Stafford

The only reason that they're hated is because they are not as good as the sequels. I assume that you are not confused by that term.

Lord Stafford.

decarus

People do just like to hate. I don't get it either. Phantom Menace is good. I remember people cheered all through the opening scene once the music started for the opening. Good fun. It will be cool to be able to see the prequels again and to see the originals in the theater for the first time.

Bane

Honestly I think the prequels are deeper and more emotional than the originals. The acting isn't always great and neither is the dialogue but the same could be said of the originals as well. Carrie Fisher's performance in Return of the Jedi is pure dogshit.

Bane

Also, the Ewoks are far more embarrassing than Jar Jar. Jar Jar was dumb but he was good for the kids, and beyond Phantom Menace barely got any screentime. The Ewoks on the other hand came into play in the final episode of this huge epic space drama which was incredibly out of place. You don't put shit that goofy and comical at the very end of something like that. It was jarring.

Nick

oh god i refuse to see any of these. there all garbage.

Hess

It depends on your own experience with the films I guess. I grew up watching the six of them, and I never thought the prequels were terrible or anything, they were and still are a lot of fun to watch. Just the fact that we get to see how everything was before the Empire is amazing. Right now I was watching the last battle between Luke and Darth Vader, and the way that scene goes with the epic music, remembering how Vader was once a child who loved his mother, makes everything much more emotional.

Lord Stafford

@Bane

I was never very fond of Carrie. And, judging by her career since, i'm not the only one. Mark didn't fare much better. We all know how well Harrison has done. From a carpenter, to the most loved actor of his generation.

Lord Stafford.

Hess

@Nick you got mono man, you're not in your right mind.

Nick

i like 4 5 and 6 but the prequels are just mehhh. i tryed to like them when they first came out but i just couldn,t.

Bane

oh god i refuse to see any of these. there all garbage.

So, nothing has changed since the last time you told us.

Bane

I like her in A New Hope and Empire for the most part, but in Jedi she just hammed it up bad. I mean just look how terrible.

Lord Stafford

oh god i refuse to see any of these. there all garbage.

Really, Nick? I mean, really?

Lord Stafford.

Lord Stafford

@Bane

She's still kind of how i see Emma. Who, however unfortunate it may sound to people, will never be a particularly good actress.
