More Episode III teaser stuff

The first teaser trailer for Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (see teaser poster below) premieres in theatres with The Incredibles on Friday. It will appear on Access Hollywood on Thursday night and will also be available to AOL subscribers on Thursday. It will likely be all over the web on Friday. Here's a description, courtesy of comingsoon.net:

The trailer does begin with "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way." and includes Alec Guiness famous line "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."

Some awesome highlights I should point out include a hooded Anakin with glowing red eyes - much like Darth Maul's, a scene of the Emperor wielding a lightsaber, I'm assuming during his battle with Yoda, which looks like he is throwing across the room. In what seems to be a full out war over Coruscant we see an early prototype of the X-Wing fighter with an extra wing cutting across the fighter and a curved nose. There's also a shot of a group of Wookies lead by Chewbacca getting ready to attack. We also hear James Earl Jones speak as Vader though his voice is a slight different then we are used to hearing in the original trilogy.
