I did try to break down the timeline for Stront when I was bored and trying to create a timeline for the fan film facebook page.

(See below - may be errors though)

Johnny is 20 when he travels back to meet Wulf, I imagined Wulf is 5-10 years older

So, say 27 when he returns to 2170.

Which makes him around 35-37 for the bulk of the golden age run.

There's a gap between Wulf meeting Johnny and Johnny having another partner (sniffer Martinez) - also Wulf mentions the Triton Wars (before it was revealed he was a viking)

So there's a gap 2170-2176 ish where Wulf could have easily had a kid.

It's now 2199 or thereabouts, so Wulf's kid could plausibly be in his 20s.

That was more of a slow shutter speed type thing wasn't it?

Oh, also the inclusion of flashbacks - which IIRC is another break with the traditional SW style?

More slowing it down to 12fps or something rather than shooting high speed and played back at 24fps.

Yeah, pretty sure flashbacks are a new thing - think there was a timelapse in the Rey/Luke scene as well?

He was similar in TFA - just imagined he was going for young Hitler to go with the Nuremberg Rally vibe of that scene in the film.

Guessing that it's so [spoiler]Poe's comment that he's surprised she's the vice-admiral doesn't come off as too Roger Moorish "A woman/raised eyebrow?" when he's been serving under Leia for a good few years.

Not sure it exactly works[/spoiler]

Sorry,

Trying not to spend any money before Christmas, had already spent lunchtime trying to find a not rammed pub on Thursday for something else, so knew it would be packed.

And already had the prog digitally.

The same when Luke calls it a laser sword - it jars a bit as if it's from someone talking about Star Wars rather than being a character inside it.

That's a solid prequel reference, though - L'I'll Ani recognises Qui-Gon because of his 'laser sword'. It's meant to evoke the outsider's perception of the Jedi.

As to the rest, yes you can see it that way, but i'd remind you about things like "dusting crops", "see you in hell", and "would it help if I got out and pushed?". All quite 20th Century idioms.

I don't see those as quite the same, [spoiler]If they'd said running on fumes, I could have gone with that -
some phrases seem more universal than others. Gas just seemed too specifically American 20th century.

I didn't much like laser sword being used in the prequels either. But compared to the rest of the problems they had, that was minor.

And yes, Tarzan Chewie in ROTJ is duff as well.[/spoiler]

Yeah, pretty much what radiator said.

The same when Luke calls it a laser sword - it jars a bit as if it's from someone talking about Star Wars rather than being a character inside it. Even things like [spoiler]running out of gas[/spoiler] felt odd.

Best way I could explain it was when there's someone from the film doing a skit in character and it's just too knowing.

Having him dress one of the Porgs in a little Han waistcoat might have been a bit much.

On reflection, I'm grateful that Lando was not included in the last jedi. At this point he remains the only lead character from the original trilogy that "new" star wars hasn't brought to their knees.

He's all I've got left to hold on to from Return of the Jedi.....please God don't let them shoe horn him into Episode 9 just so that they can show me what a complete failure he turned out to be.

Well they've not done an awful lot with the droids, and to a lesser extent, Chewie either.
