Star Wars Episode 7 and Disney buy Lucas Film

[ThryllSeekyr]

A series about how Han Solo became a smuggler is being considered.

If I wasn't as old as I am mow, I'd been trying to get in to contact with their casting department right now for the role of young Han himself and did you know I was once ticketed for speeding in a Ford Falcon on Kessel road near the city.

Seriously, I always thought one of the kid actors from Home Improvement was a dead ringer for a younger Harrison Ford.  A lot closer in likeness than I thought the late River Phoenix was.

I believe, his name is Johnathan Taylor Thomas who, by virtue of his grin bears a remarkable similarity to Indiana Solo and the rest of face just slides into place.

Except, I think this guy from Breaking Bad is the current favourite.

I just don't see it there. Even though, a large part of imitation is just being a convincing actor.

[TordelBack]

Yeah, facial resemblance is the smallest part of it really - look at DeForrest Kelley and Our Karl as Dr McCoy (or even Our Karl and Old Stoney Face). Not a hint of resemblance, and yet a perfect fit.

That said, your John Thomas looks the part!





What?

That said, your John Thomas looks the part!

For Rogue One, classic Stormtroopers are back!

The first shot I didn't recognise, but everything else seemed like it had come from the two existing trailers.

Seems "Clan Techie" has graduated to General.

[Goaty]

Ooh check out the Walkers at right!

[TordelBack]

Obviously that shot is completely shit 'cos it's mostly CGI. That's how it works, right?

[locustsofdeath!]

That shot is shit. CGI sucks.

This time the CGI is Practical.

~Is that Voltan there? If so, excitement circuits engaged!

[TordelBack]

The thing about that shot (and the reverse view we've already seen) is how it still completely misses the point of warfare on a galactic scale... That (oooh, ahhh, look at how many baddies there are!) assembly represents  a decent force for invading a small-middling country, but not a well-populated planet, never mind a galaxy full of worlds. Much like the 3 million-strong clone army of the prequels: what's that, 300 soldiers for each of just 10,000 inhabited systems? In short, despite being overblown, if it's meant to impress, it doesn't.

'Course if it's meant to represent a small Garrison, I'll eat my words.

Ignore the preceding drivel. A symptom of the dread that this film inspires in my fannish heart as the days grow shorter...
