NEW YORK (AP) -- Darth Vader is coming to "The O.C."

The trailer for "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" will premiere during the March 10 episode of the Fox show.

The final installment of the "Star Wars" saga will open in theaters on May 19. The new trailer will be released in movie theaters beginning March 11.

"Revenge of the Sith" is the third prequel to the original "Star Wars" trilogy. It continues the chronicle of young Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), who eventually turns to the dark side and becomes Darth Vader.

As an avid superhero fan, Seth Cohen, the main character of "The O.C." played by Adam Brody, would likely relish the event.

"The O.C." airs Thursdays (8 p.m. EST)

Damn, I am going to be in the Dominican on the 10th! Ah well, I can watch it when I get home.

If it's anything like the previous trailers, it's going to be a million .1 second slices sandwiched together so you have no idea what the thing was... but the nerds all cheer.

I'd rather gut myself with a fish knife than watch the OC.

xi_hyperon · Mar 1, 2005, 07:16 PM

I'm sure it will be posted online shortly thereafter, so viewing of O.C. will not be necessary.

Much like a Britney Spears video, it's not so bad if you watch it in mute. If you know what I mean

I like the OC very much,

It is a very entertaining show, and this past week's episode was mighty amazoing.

Disgruntled Head of C-3PO · Mar 2, 2005, 01:55 AM

I also think I would rather skip the trailer so I don't have to watch the OC.

Question is since OC is in HDTV I wonder if the trailer will be.

I only started watching this show recently mainly because my current girlfriend seems totally addicted to it. Then again, my jaw dropped when I saw this creature.

Hot girls? They're so thin its actually painful to watch. You can count their ribs for gods sake.

Since FOX would probably latch it on to the broadcast instead of send it to the local stations and have them broadcast it, I would imagine that it would be in HD.

And the trailer is supposed to be put up on that HyperSpace **** a few days before the public premiere so it should be online in pretty high res QT before the OC showing.

The "Summer" character, played by Rachel Bilson, isn't that skinny. She's pretty fly, actually

MacGorilla · Mar 2, 2005, 01:36 PM

I can't wait for Star Wars Episode Three to totally suck.

imagine this. packed theater, silence, and that character spewed that line. i think i was the only one who burst out laughing lol...after i stopped laughing... the theater was still in silence.

bad scripts, worse acting (including Ewan and Liam, which is surprising) which probably means bad directing. No amount of tech special effects, and even J.Williams score could save EP1 and 2. EP3... well...ill goto theater to see it for the special effects....lord knows these movies were made for theater....but a genuine lack of emotion and love in the entire movie making process.

I rented out 'return of the jedi' and fell asleep twice while watching it. but the characters were definately more 'human' than the zombies in EP1 & 2.

Better quality than the earlier leak, but still, not that great. :/

typoon · Mar 10, 2005, 05:51 PM

If you have kids or just want to see it supposedly it's also one of the trailers before the movie ROBOTS.

W00t!

I'll probably still watch the OC though, you know, 'cause it's a bigger screen and what not

Anyone have a link to a download or viewing of the actual trailer?

Palpatine is going to kick some major ass.

Yeah, this looks like the real deal. Let us hope it will not disappoint.

It didn't look bad but ya, this movie is going to be the icing on the cake of Star Wars suckage.

Because I was too young to remember the original star wars, can anyone please explain the main points of suckage thus far in I and II.

In contrast, what would make III not suck.

You could just go in with realistic expectations. Say what you want about Episodes I and II, but most of the venom they get is a direct result of unrealistic expectations (and Jar Jar, of course).

MilkmanDan · Mar 11, 2005, 08:34 PM

This one looks really dark and scary. Quite the contrast to the last two. I hope its actualy as good as it looks.

MallyMal · Mar 11, 2005, 08:41 PM

Saw it this morning. I like it. I think that "You were the Chosen One!" line was delivered well.

Looks like everyone was actually directed this time (with the exception of dude who plays Anakin. I don't think there's any help for him).

I was especially chilled by all of Palpatine's lines.

Mark Hamill really, really, really sucked in Return of the Jedi ... it was the worst of the original 3!

Can you get this without getting BitTorrent?

... edit ...
...never mind .... found the other link farther down in the thread ..

Eriamjh · Mar 12, 2005, 02:25 PM

Looks impressive. Hopefully the storyline and dialog and acting and plot twists will not be lame and childlike.

C'mon, Lucas! Make this your best movie and make the series go out with a bang!

ReggieX · Mar 12, 2005, 02:52 PM

Saw in the theatre last night, and it wasn't at a major movie chain in front of a major release either.

MacMan4000 · Mar 12, 2005, 03:35 PM

There is going to be a interview with George Lucas and a sneak preview on 60 minutes.

Better than Empire (yes, I know it doesn't really count since he didn't direct it)? Still, this would be one of those aforementioned unrealistic expectations.

Script. Script. Script.

Oh and characters.

While the original ones was pure mythology ( = adventure for you young'uns), the others are about politics and well...something something. There's no drive, no likeable characters and the attempts at humor fall extraordinarily flat.

And that is the main reasons despite what SW-fans will tell you about how Lucas destroyed their childhood by changing things around the way they had imagined it in their heads. (i.e. Anakin creating C3PO etc.)
