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"

James Earl Jones is providing the voice of Darth Vader, he has confirmed this himself, so maybe it is early unfinished sound that is being described?

Possibly. Since nothing has really been finalised, that would most likely be the case.
Hmm....prediction?
Twill be bad.
IV, V and VI are still unsullied by the horrors of Ep 1. Ep 2 was alright.

James Earl Jones is the man.
I wish it was possible to buy a 'James Earl Jones' box. You talk into it and it converts your voice into Jamesey boys.
Simple verbal exchanges such as asking someone to pass the salt would become 6000% more intimidating for the other person.

I actually really like Episode 1. Darth Maul kicks ass, and the only major problem is a certain, irritating Gungun.

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

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

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.
