The trailer - rather ironically, Episode 1 undoubtably had one of the best trailers ever released

I remember downloading that trailer (around 20Mb) on a 54K connection, waiting a couple hours for it, watching it over and over and thinking Episode I was going to be the best thing ever but in the end the trailer was better than the movie.

lol.. me too.. I remember it was an Apple exclusive trailer... it was freking amazing.. Every generation has a legend. Every journey has a first step. Every saga has a beginning.

The trailer still makes me believe there's actually a good version of the film out there (sadly there isn't).

Off topic - slightly - there's an amazing bit in the extras where you're allowed to see Lucas and crews reaction after watching the first full cut.  Needless to say they are all worried and know they've screwed the pooch (this being in the days before you'd Nuke the Firdge) and I'm amazed Lucas let it remain in the extras.

Given how bad the final released cut was, I'd very much love to see just how bad that cut must have been (well, love is probably the wrong word, but you know what I mean).
