What are actual good movie trailers that get you hooked without spoiling everything? (self.asklemmy)

Kind of in response to an earlier post in here about trailers that spoil everything, I think it is easier nowadays to count how many didn't spoil everything.

Was that ever a thing? Not revealing lightsabers? I certainly don't remember that and I lived through it.

Yeah, it was.

I can only find people on Reddit talking about it but we don't use that here

Here it is near the end.

But I'm also sure they dropped the scene of him extending it on TV somewhere too

Sorry I kind of miss understood I think.

I'm saying revealing the double lightsaber in the trailer was a mistake

Oh yeah, I got you. I remember the trailer quite vividly - I used to listen to Duel Of Fates on Winamp (remember that?) with the visualer effect!

But I don't think it was a mistake at all. It got you excited for the movie because you knew there was a kick ass lightsaber fight in the movie - which there was.

Anyways each to their own. We can at least agree the movie did not live up to the hype of the trailer.

Without wanting to start another SW flame war, I actually think the prequels (as bad as they were) are better than the new age Disney sequels for one massive reason. They were original movies, with original stories, and original characters (ok interpretations of characters 😜). They were at least creative. The new movies, to me, are rehashed committee designed waffle. As wonderful as the cinematography is in them, I am deeply disappointed as to why they didn't simple film Timothy Zahn's Heir To Thr Empire and Kevin J Anderson's Jedi Academy. They could have done that as a trilogy slightly condensed.
