I think this story sums up everything that’s wrong in the world of Star Wars. If you pay for it, you get a trailer earlier. And you get the full size version that no-one else gets. This is like paying for a commerical that’s served to you!
Compare and contrast the Star Wars world with that of Peter Jackson, who’s been busily making King Kong for some months now. He’s been supplying the Kongisking.net website with FREE website with, to date, forty high quality detailed looks behind the scenes at his new film. These are superb insights into just about every part of film-making, and he’s not fleecing fans for the privilige. Let’s face it, the hosting costs must be quite significant.
Trailers are ads. Film companies pay to get them shown. Fans paying the film companies is wrong. (Obviously the full-screen version will be out there almost immediately – that’s the internet).
