Knowing a bit about how the system works promos are intentionally constructed to give viewers something that sells the product (show). And what the people at SyFy have apparently decided is that Jamil/Greer is not a face that can sell the show to the populace, unlike guys like Scott, Eli, Chloe....Rush, Young, TJ.

Meanwhile Greer is barely ever seen in such promotions. (Not saying he was never used....just that his inclusion tended to be more rare). Now perhaps Greer's absence is somewhat understandable considering he has never been featured in all the previous eps. But in this upcoming episode "Lost" in which he is finally going to be featured the folks at SyFy didn't think any clip of him was worthy of being edited into the promotional trailer. You don't find that strange? Can you think of one promotion for the show this season in which the featured character wasn't used in the trailer?

However, while the SyFy promo shows the get-go, the premise (is that the word?) for the episode, the promo pics on stargate.mgm.com always show pics from the entire episode. So, seeing as the episode will include a lot of Greer back-story, there are a lot of Greer related pics.
The difference between these two has nothing to do with preference of SyFy, mgm, me, you or anyone else... it is just a logical fact, consequence of the episode's structure and plot building. And THAT's why I don't understand what you are saying. Hence, the "huh? "
It's a quite simply explanation and not some Preferential treatment conspiracy.A black hole swallowed this sig pic.

So yes, SGU is a Star Wars rip-off.
