Ah, excellent!  The 'thumbs down' approval for the fallen gladiator indicating the crowd's pleasure and that the fighter should be spared!

Glad you liked the awesome trailer too Ithoriel!   :D

Since we have absolutely no idea what gesture was used in Ancient Rome to indicate the sparing, or otherwise, of a gladiator I was using the modern idiom. :)

So far, I expect the new film to be marginally better than Episode I and incomparably worse than Episode IV.

I still hope to be proved wrong by the final product!!

You mean, "worse than episode I" ?    :o

:P

Ithoriel

I'd settle for incomparably better than Episode I and marginally worse than Episode IV. :)

Star Wars teaser trailer 2



Ah! But what you don't see is the next few seconds, when he puts in his thumb, and pulls out a plum.

Star Wars,
Don't care that it's coming,
Don't care that's it's going
to be worse than before.

Star Wars,
May watch on the telly,
whist scratching my belly,
and being quite bored.

It's passed it's sell by date and so have the stars, you know,
and Disney's going to make it cheesy,
Jar Jar Binks will be a place that you'll want to go,
to remember when the Star Wars films were good

I only irritated them, as I thought they were distant relatives of yours, Nobby.

It's going to be utterly amazing.


Just as an aside, Disney's stock closed up $2billion.  The power of 110 seconds of Star Wars awesome.   :D
