I don't think Lucas has lost his touch at all. In fact, I don't think Lucas ever had a touch. His stories are pretty good, but his dialogue and directing are pretty bad. I love the visuals, but the guy really can't do much with anything else.

As far as a comparison to the originals, these new ones are probably actually better. Not in the fun, "hey that was neat" kinda way, but the "actually, that's a nice storyline" kinda way.

But the two movie series are very different. They are different in the same way that The Terminator is different than Terminator 2 and Terminator 3. What was made years ago was neat then, but now they have to enhance things to make them better for audiences.

As far as the new trailer goes, I got it burned onto a disc. It looks pretty sweet from what is shown and will probably be the best of the series. Can't say that for sure though, until I watch it myself.
