‘Star Wars: Episode III’ Trailer Debuts
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) – Darth Vader is coming.
George Lucas disciples will have a chance to view the new trailer for “Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith” on entertainment newsmagazine “Access Hollywood” on Thursday night, Nov. 4.
The preview includes a hooded Anakin Skywalker with eerie glowing red eyes, Chewbacca leading a group of Wookies in an attack and the Emperor wielding a lightsaber.
According to Internet buzz, the trailer also features a battle scene with a prototype of the X-Wing fighter and the lines “A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi knights. He betrayed and murdered your father,” spoken by Obi-Wan.
“Episode III” is set two years into the Clone Wars, when Chancellor Palpatine, with the help of his clone army and Sith Warriors, prepares to rid the galaxy of the Jedis in order to declare himself Emperor of the Galactic Empire. The film sets up the mysterious circumstances in which 1977’s “Episode IV” begins, namely: Anakin’s capitulation to the dark side of The Force and the birth — and subsequent separation — of twins Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker.
“Access Hollywood” will show the “Episode III” trailer in its entirety before it’s released nationwide with “The Incredibles” on Friday, Nov. 5. The final installment of the sci-fi prequel trilogy hits theaters in a galaxy not so far away on May 19, 2005.
