Given Lucas' more recent efforts, I would be especially chary were he in the directorial chair....

I know what you mean... but I've seen much worse trailers for some very good films. Sometimes it almost seems as if the people who put the trailer together deliberately went out of their way to damage the film as much as possible. I doubt that is the case here -- I'm inclined to agree with you that the film is likely not all that good, perhaps outright bad... but, having been married to a film major, I've seen a lot of bad films and even worse trailers; so I leave the door open to be pleasantly surprised. (Though, again, I think in this case it would be a distinct surprise!)
