I think they both exhibit the same approach: a sequence of slightly moving images (ie very short snippets) that convey no plot (and are likely completely jumbled relative to their in-movie occurrence) … but instead show you the vibe, look and general subject matter of the film. Essentially an appetiser that isn’t the main course at all but is perfectly matched.
Except that tag line … “In space no one can hear you scream” … is likely unmatched.
Oh man, I just watched the 2.5 minute trailer … that shit still works! Had me nearly wanting to watch the sequels trilogy again. The promise/potential of that trilogy was soooo high. I’d only made the connection now, but in hindsight there’s real Game of Thrones season 8 energy around the whole thing now. Like even with the Finn jedi fake out, it would have been so much more interesting if he were also a jedi of some sort rather than just “vaguely force sensitive” or whatever.
Oh yea! The hype going into the sequel trilogy was very real and a lot of that was the trailer game. I remember seeing this for the first time! It alone probably carried me into about halfway through RoS!
That actually reminds me of another trailer of a film by the same director of the one I linked. The tag line is “Killing is like smoking. Only the first time is hard”.
Came here to say the same about the Alien Trailer.

You’ve reminded me of The Force Awakens teaser trailer. Only a few shots of the main characters with no idea of the story at all.
This also carries on to the next 2½ minute trailer with no clues to the story really. I thought they were well done.

Now that I think of it, one might even make a teaser an unrelated spin-off to kind of give an impression but not spoil the story.
I wonder if it has been done that way already
