See you on the battlefield.
How is it that seemingly no one has noticed that the suns in both videos are different colors? Since you guys probably don't know to much about astronomy, I'll explain why they are obviously at different locations.
Epsilon Eridanus, as seen at the end of the Reach trailer, is a mid sized yellow star, much like out own sun, which is consistent with it's real life counterpart(cool sidenote: around that star, a planet has been confirmed, and may be terrestrial, which means that the planet Reach could actually exist).
The star at the end of Halo 3 Legendary is most likely a blue giant, like the star Rigel in the constellation Orion(it may even be Rigel, we don't know). This means that it is much more massive than the star in the Reach trailer.
These two types of stars are on completely different life cycles, meaning that a yellow star cannot be come a blue giant, or vice versa. In fact, the only real color change for a main sequence star(which is to say, bot of these examples) is toward red. This is also accompanies by a huge change in size, and a massive explosion in the cases of the bigger stars.
This change takes place over millions of years, which means that is is impossible that they are the same star, since the maximum length of time between the Battle of Reach and the end of Halo 3 would have been around 1 year. It is also impossible because as stated above, the two stars are of different types, and are therefore on different life cycles.
tl;dr: The planets in both instances cannot be at the same location since the suns(the biggest stars seen in the video) are different colors.
