Even bad scripts can be saved if the actors can carry it. Alternatively, Lucas needs to direct his actors better. See also Han and Leia in Episode 5 and 6, then compare to Anakin and Padme in the prequels.

Further support for this may be observed in Ewan McGreggor's performance, which was kind of the high point of the prequels.

Considering popular culture, the next adventures might have this cast:


Luke - Ryan Seacrest

Leia - Snookie

Han - Ray Romano

Lando - Dennis Rodman

Chewie - Jesse Ventura

Admiral Ackbar - James Lipton


and flashbacks with:

Obi Wan - Alex Trebek

Darth Vader - Bernie Madoff

Yoda - Honey Boo Boo

Jabba - Christina Aguilera



And with Disney running the show, maybe it'll be as great as The Black Hole.

Well *I* certainly wouldn't be one of em, being not fond of the hypocritical, moralist-pontificating gits.
S'why I always liked Wedge, no fancy gimmicks, he's just that badass.

Wedge?
The coward that abandoned Luke and Biggs in the trench of the Death Star because of a "malfunction"? Leading to the death of Biggs?

Yeah, whatever you say.



I always liked Wedge too, even before his EU adventures.

So, I read an article about who some Hollywood folks would cast to play Luke, Han and Leia. I didn't recognize many of the names but a repeated name was Ryan Goseling for Han. That seems really really far off to me. First off he's a pretty boy. Was Harisson Ford considered a pretty boy in the 70's/80's? He seems more the rugged type to me. Second, I've never seen much emotion in Ryan Goseling's acting. He seems like he's more into the blank emotionless stare that leaves the audience to read into it however they choose. That does not fit Han Solo to me in any way. I can't picture him giving the "who me?" feigned innocence look or the roguish grin of Han Solo.

When making casting decisions do they ever do any focus group research before making a decision? I gotta imagine a choice like that would be like dropping a bomb in the middle of the internet.

In episodes 4-6 The Force was described as an energy field that surrounds and binds us.

In episodes 1-3 The Force was described as microscopic organisms in the blood that speak to their host.


So what's next for The Force in episodes 7-9? Possibly one of these...

Trace levels of mercury from cans of tainted kosher tuna fish?

Cannabis t.h.c. levels in the roots of hair follicles?

Anyone who drank Billy Beer from '76 - '81?

Smoothies made from Madonna's toe nail clippings?

Anyone who can touch their nose with their tongue?

Exposure to magenta kryptonite?

Ron Paul supporters' zeta wave input polarizers?

Yah, I am also somewhat fond of Arvel Crynyd, who most people ain't even ever heard of.

He was just a fairly ordinary A-wing pilot, albeit a squad leader, who having taken critical damage while attempting to disable some of the star destroyers ion cannons so the fleet could escape, decided to forgo ejection in favor of pounding what was left of his fighter into the the then-unshielded bridge of the Executor.

Having just suffered a morale and coordination loss due to the death of Palpatine, who was using his jedi mind tricks to improve these things, this single act began a cascade failure amongst the imperial forces - not only did it kill Admiral Piett and his entire bridge crew, it sent the Executor out of contol causing it to collide with the half baked Death Star and destroyed it utterly, both turning the tide of the immediate battle and costing the empire a disproportionate chunk of its best officers since service on Vaders ship was seen as a risky, but fast route to advancement.

Just one ordinary guy, one tiny decision, a pinprick moment in a massive engagement, but boy howdy, he MADE IT COUNT.

Really just in Ep 1. Was never mentioned again in 2 or 3.


Note to anyone - Please pity the poor, poor wittle Rappyboy. He's feeling put upon lately, what with all those facts disagreeing with what he believes.
