Movie City News posted this first but I have no problems ripping it off.

Below is the original trailer for Star Wars. 2007 marks the 30th anniversary of the movie so you will be seeing a lot of items like this in various places. Actually, after I post this I'm off to look for a new making of book that is supposed to be the definitive version.

Either way, it is interesting to see how this was marketed at first. It seems much more of a serious, almost scary, science fiction film. There is no sense of the adventure or light hearted humor from the film. I guess they were trying to amaze people with their special effects and creature, which seemed to have worked out for them in the long run.

I also really like the opening line from the trailer, "Somewhere in space this may all be happening right now."
