It's Mon Mothma who says the Bothan line and she only appears in RotJ. For shame, nerd.

Yeah I think that's the whole point.

You will find that it is you who are mistaken, about a great many things.

I think Disney is fully aware this thing is going to be bootlegged and appear online in various forms all weekend long...they'll publicly make moves to pull stuff down, but privately be all abuzz about it.

They'll probably release a longer HD version of the trailer online on Dec. 18th.

That's why its stupid. If they know it'll be bootlegged anyways why even do it? Plus who does a limited release for a teaser? Its just a really odd marketing strategy.

Does it matter? It's SW. It'll set ablaze in attention very easily.

Disney has been pretty good with marketing its established franchises. I'm guessing they have a motive for doing this. Maybe its getting a kick back or other concessions from the movie theater chains?

superdeluxe

Why? They didn't do that with the leaked Avengers Trailer.

Solid Snake

Sarcasm? They did just that actually. It got leaked. Marvel/Disney said, "ah hell naw niggahs we own getting them youtube views" And they released their trailer officially.

I think it might have been the Death Star novel that had a brief part where Ackbar stole the plans and escaped from Tarkin.

As for the teaser... maybe there'll be bootlegs online this weekend, then Disney will release the official teaser next Tuesday and it'll be in all theaters next weekend.

I'd love to see that exec in a meeting.

superdeluxe

my response was to Disney start pulling down the bootleg videos. I don't think they are going to do that.

Michael Corvin

Brain fart. I knew this, I even pictured Mon Mothma saying it.

E Unit

International teaser? Fanboy teaser? I dunno...looks pretty fanboyish to me, with the unfinished effects and all.

wow. In the spirit of Thanksgiving. let me just say I'm thankful for that trailer not being real.

Hey, two pet topics .

I think a previous post did .

Masterminding what? It sounds like a marketing gimmick, which is the kind of thing he does better than almost anyone. It isn't different from any other trailer ever made, that's my point. The whole prospect of specially attaching it to specific movies seems kind of pointless when anyone can see it online, is all I'm saying. And I 100% guarantee you that JJ has nothing whatsoever to do with the OOT, I agree completely. My point was, that would be a far more exciting prospect to me than this trailer. Even if it could be withheld, I could just see it online the next week when it got officially released.

That's what I was saying. I sounds like a 25-year old marketing gimmick, and it doesn't sound like it's very applicable in today's climate. I'll watch the trailer, sure. Maybe it'll be good. But it just sounds like an attempt to drum up excitement for something which people are frankly probably pretty interested in anyway.

The prospect of someone at Disney actually using that phrase is hilarious to me.

dan30oly

That looked awesome!

How would a "fanboy" get some of this footage?

EddieMoney

I'm wondering that as well. ?

mewmartigan

eh, i doubt that is real. Some of the effects looked pretty cheesy (even the TIE pilot holding the lightsaber looked totally CGI instead of guy in suit). Also, not a single shot of Han or Leia? Plus some of the shots were just weird...like the lingering shot of a door halfway open?


now that I have said my piece, watch it turn out to be at least some real footage, haha.

It just looks like excerpts from Star Wars video games, fan films and other movies spliced together. I think I recognize the shot at 0:53 from somewhere, but I can't place it at the moment. The shot of Luke is obviously a picture Hamill's head pasted on Hayden Christensen from RotS. A nice effort, but I'm surprised that anyone could mistake it for real with the low res CG and the "shot on digital" look of many of the shots.

Mike86

Yeah that trailer doesn't seem real. It just seems like something spliced together from other sources as was mentioned. Plus I think Disney would have acknowledged it by now if it was in fact leaked.

Chrisedge

It says it's fake in the description... "We hope you enjoy the trailer as much as we enjoyed creating it. sorry if we got your hopes up. May the force be with you all"

Mike86

I didn't read the description as I just watched it through the embedded link. I assumed it wasn't real though.
