The much anticipated full release trailer for Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith is on its way. Consisting of over two minutes of new footage from the movie, the full trailer will soon appear on television, on starwars.com and in theaters.
First, on Thursday, March 10th at 9 p.m., be sure to tune in to FOX to catch an all new episode of "The O.C." During the broadcast, FOX will air the Episode III trailer.
The trailer will debut online for members of starwars.com Hyperspace after the broadcast (around 9:00 p.m. Pacific time). Lucas Online is pleased to have partnered with AOL and Moviefone.com to provide starwars.com readers with fast and reliable access to Episode III video content. Subscribers to AOL will be able to see the trailer at this time as well.
To see the Episode III trailer on the big screen, head out to movie theaters starting March 11th, with the debut of the new animated comedy, Robots. Featuring the voices of Ewan McGregor, Halle Berry, Greg Kinnear, Mel Brooks and Robin Williams, Robots is an animated family film from the people who brought you Ice Age, the film that debuted the Episode II trailer in theaters.

So make a date to watch "The O.C.", make sure you're subscribed to starwars.com Hyperspace, and head on out to see Robots at a theater near you to make sure you catch as much of the Episode III trailer as you can.

No sarcasm or disrespect intended but, I am truly shocked that anyone cares about this trailer or this movie after how horrible the first two prequels were. How many times are we supposed to be fooled before we get a clue that George Lucas is a very sorry has been.
I'll pass on the trailer and on the movie and wait for some real storytelling.

I did miss this thread. Doubly posting it was unintentional. Slashdot had some funny responses.
And I would like to mention that I may very well be the only person on this entire board who doesn't absolutely hate George Lucas or Star Wars these days.

That's all right, it was an honest mistake. I'm not mad or anything.

You're not the only one, and I suspect there are more just keeping quiet (Star Wars bashing is very trendy these days). I don't agree with everything Lucas has done (Why the special editions?!?!) but it's his story and I'm glad he's told it.
Does anyone else find the pairing of Star Wars and The O.C. odd? I get how a Fox Executive would think it's a great idea but... wait a sec, I just used 'Fox executive' and 'think' in the same sentence. I may have answered my own question...

It's about ratings. Since they figure young people watch The O.C. and that is the target audience for the Star Wars franchise.

Yeah, I get that, it's just that I don't see The O.C.'s audience as being huge fans of Star Wars (which is a gross generalization, I know, but there it is.)
Edit: Kind of forgot to add the main part of the post, which is that this type of preview will likely attract an audience looking specifically for it. If Fox was playing it smart they would use the preview to attract an audience to one of their struggling shows.
I guess it could be worse. They could have put the preview during Trading Spouses or some other reality show.
