I liked everything Mark had to say. He admitted there could be problems with George, but he liked the man and knew he didn't deserve the hate. Jake Lloyd, I don't even understand what happened with him. Kids loved Episode I, the only reason I can think of them making fun of him is the ones with the type of parents that like to say Lucas raped their childhood with the prequels. But then again, some kids are just mean. _______________ Make the Sayles JP IV script into an animated series! Admit it, you'd watch it.

| Billy Dee Williams is open to star as Lando Calrissian.
I can really see this happening. The man is having a Renaissance era. Returning as the spokesman for Colt .45, starring as Two-Face in the Lego Batman TV show, that's pretty good for his age. I don't see why he can't reprise his role as Lando. _______________ The undisputed dominant predator of Jurassic Mainframe.

| i've said this before (can't remember if it was here or elsewhere) but i can totally see Lando returning since, now that Han's explicitly died and, unfortunately, Leia probably has, too, in light of Carrie Fisher's passing, (and Ackbar as well, since his actor has also passed away) plus the fact that Luke is off doing his own thing, Lando is one of the few remaining higher-ups of the former Rebels as well as actually having administrative experience as the leader of Cloud City, whereas Han and Luke were basically just soldiers when you get right down to it. if Billy Dee does return as Lando, my guess is that he'll basically be acting-Chancellor of the New Republic after the events of Ep7 _______________ Requiescas in pace, Jurassic Park Legacy.

| Arfour--Obi-Wan's astromech--had feminine programming.
Also Lando has a strong possibility of being Finn's father based on Abram's comments so it would be nicer to have him back and as Osh said, Luke is essentially the ONLY major character left that actually people can understand (we can't understand Chewie so it sort of undermines his potential to be a lead rather than major supporting character) and is not a subservient droid. So Lando steps to the forefront as a necessity to at least make the transition easier. Wedge is never coming back. Also as Osh said, he can clearly fit as a politician, Resistance military leader, supplier....whatever. He was sort of a jack of all trades since he dabbled or was said to have dabbled in everything.
And this is basically his last chance to return to the limelight one last time truly. Sure his other Lando appearances are big but not SW live-action movie big and Colt will never be mainstream like if he were Dos Esquis or whatever now. By the time the NEXT trilogy starts he will be over 90. | |

| If Snoke is an alien that's the Supreme Leader of The First Order, then it's quite likely that we'll see Thrawn as the supreme admiral or something like that. Besides, the Rebel Alliance/Republic/Resistance has-or had-Ackbar, then it only makes sense that the Empire/First Order has Thrawn. Besides, given Palpatine's anti-alien bigotry, it's going to be very interesting to see how he became so powerful. _______________ The undisputed dominant predator of Jurassic Mainframe.

| I'd love to believe that, but after too many false starts and promises that went nowhere, I'm not exactly holding my breath. But rest assured, if this is the real deal I will be right there with all the fans with my money to own the blu-ray of the trilogy!
It's also worth noting that I still own the 2004 DVD release of the original trilogy and did not buy the blu-ray box set, so it's in serious need of an update. For me, I don't mind the extra scenes or CGI elements, I don't even get that irked by the Greedo shooting first thing, those were things I was used to from the 1997 releases that I grew up with. But the replacing of Sebastian Shaw with Hayden Christiensen was the one that did it in for me. _______________ "Life will find a way." | |

I mean, so we got Maul, and he blinded Kanan. Then he came back and used Ezra to open the holocrons, which led him to Obi-wan. But then he goes, and dies in one swing. And Obi-wan tells him Luke will be the key to bringing balance to the Force. which is something any Star Wars fan already knows. Ezra's brief temptation by the dark side went no where. Kanan as the blind master has went no where. Maul reverted back top his revenge driven self from the early Savage TCW episodes just for the sake of this duel. And of course, now Maul is dead, and it all amounted to nothing.
I've really been holding out for Rebels to pick up the slack...but I just don't think I can defend it anymore. That doesn't mean there aren't episodes I like, but overall, there's so much filler and meaningless episodes. And I will admit, Clone Wars had several mediocre or bad episodes itself, but I can at least find a lot to like. Clone Wars also had the advantage of us knowing where it ends up, but us also knowing that both sides were being played so we weren't too worried about the overall story. With Rebels, while we know where it's going, we want the overall story to matter, and show us this time period we haven't seen much of. They just keep giving us like 7 episodes of major story out of 20. _______________ Make the Sayles JP IV script into an animated series! Admit it, you'd watch it.
