Now I am super-psyched for the premiere and May seems too far away.<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, judging the film by the trailer, it looks like too much will be going on, though there will be wookies, which is always good, lots of Jedi and Sith (that is all we care about anyway), and big buns of hair on <b>Natalie Portman<\/b> &#8212; rrrrowr! They probably revealed too much about Vader though, either that or there is something much cooler that was not shown.
