Trailer begins with a familiar voice over with Alec Guinness. Fans will love to hear him speak his monologue to Luke from A New Hope about "Jedi Knights always being the guardians of peace." As we hear these familiar phrases, they've intercut shots from various Star Wars episodes, excluding Episode 3. Only when the monologue ends with "Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force" about 40 seconds into the trailer do we see the face of Anakin. He is partly covered with dark hood, looking positively evil.
This is followed by the shot of erupting volcanoes, then some sort of volcanic field with crab-like creatures and then darkness, all accompanied by Vader breathing. Then the following is heard:
Sidious: "Lord Vader..."
Vader: "Yes?"
Sidious: "Rise."
Then we see Anakin in full Vader gear rising on some sort of operating table to which he is chained. The rising is slow and is intercut with shot of various Star Wars main characters. When the table has fully risen so that Vader is basically standing upright, the meatiest part of trailer begins, with many, many shots from Episode III. Most of them are very, very short - this will be something for freeze-frame fanatics to analyze.
The ones that stuck in my memory:
Dozens of Wookiees on some sort of floating platform.
Padme with signature Leia hairdo.
The Tri-Fighter, aka the precursor to the TIE fighter with three curving wings and guns mounted between each wing. They shoot red lasers.
The ARC Clonefigthter, aka the precursor to X-Wing, with three wings on each side.
A gigantic starship being sprayed by streams of something that looks like dense acid.
The trailer ends with the title "THE SAGA IS COMPLETE - MAY 2005"

Let's face it though, while Star Wars is reknowned for being the original good vs. evil epic, the beauty of it was that it was never quite so simple.
Luke never believed his father was truly evil, and he wasn't at heart.

Technically, both sides in The Clone Wars are evil then?
Seeing as it's Count Dooku and co who create the Death Star, or at least the blueprints for it (in the film anyway). I never read the books though.
And Jango Fett = all the clones, Jango Fett = evil.
I mean. Whja?

Darth Vader was one of the best villians of any film. Darth Maul was not particularly threatening. He looked evil, but his character wasn't given enough screen time. The battle at the end of the phantom menace was excellent in my opinion, but I would have liked to have seen a bit more of his background story. It felt almost as though he had been added to the story as an afterthought.
Jango Fett was more intimidating and he wasn't even a Jedi/Sith.

Anyone hee read the 3rd book?
Obi Wan fights Anikin, put's Anikin in to lava pit, Vader Born... Voila, book ends...

OK, Darth Maul was useless as a baddie, but he helped towards Obi Wan Kenobis development.
Yupyup.
RoboMaul shall return.
And you want to talk about crappy baddies - what about Darth Vader, he's only around for 4 films.

He was pretty crap, but at least he had a cool death.
Being cut in half is ultimate.

Darth Maul rocked.
He killed Qui Kon Jin (or however it's spelt).
He was cool.
If you kill a cool person, you automatically become cooler.
If you kill a stupid person, you become ultImate.
Maybe Darth Maul will come back in Episode 3 rejuvinated, as he didn't really die, and he will attack Darth Vader, put up a good fight and go RARRR!! and scare Darth Vader till he's white and gets something stuck in his throat making his voice weird.
That's how it works.
Obviously.

Considering he was the emperors apprentice, he was crap.
Darth Maul was the most inconsequential baddie to ever have existed. Seriously, why was he even there? He didn't even fight no good.
