If the rest of the soundtrack is anything like this trailer's scoring, that's a big plus too. I dig the sloppy bass line and discordant percussion. It just fits. The other trailer's soundrtrack (from the trailer currently on the movie web site) is just...the same. It's the same as every other Asian-bald-kid-saves-the-world type of film (c'mon, you have to admit there have been more than a few). The voiceover sounds like Mako, though - so that warrants bonus points (if it is him). Mako kicks ass. <object width="520" height="249"><param name="movie" value="http://www.paramount.com/webmaster/player/paramount_epk.php" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed src="http://www.paramount.com/webmaster/player/paramount_epk.php" flashVars="cid=d9c8acc5cfeb2ef42944ef899f3c32a24284fc79" wmode="transparent" width="520" height="249" allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object> Is it just me or do the ships in this other trailer look an awful lot like Star Destroyers?
