Seriously, of course it was part anticipation of getting a new Star Wars episode after many years, but there has never been as good a promotion for a movie (or TV show) as this video clip:

Sound only superior link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv62Uipis5o
I mean, the song itself might be argueably the best single soundtrack for a movie ever, but splicing it with just the right amount of movie footage and quotes to tease. It was perfect.
I'm not sure who was responsible for this cut, I'm gonna assume it wasn't Lucas, but this was genius. I hope JJ Abrams, John Williams and Lucasarts do something similar for Episode VII.

Of course all that hype resulted in a huge disappointment, but that's besides the point.
