star wars 9 grim resignation thread

Rogue One would not have been the same without Tarkin. Now I would have been fine if they simply hired another actor but that's not the way these people think.

They should just reuse her footage from Catastrophe and have her being inexplicably vile to everyone.

Richard E Grant as Great Miff Turkin

Great Tuff Merkin

Grand Withnailkin

lol REG is the 2nd male Girls alumnus in the cast

can they get one of the 4 female leads to do Daphne Zuniga's 'i broke a nail' Spaceballs thing?

I would 💯 see a Star War if it were Carrie Fisher outtakes from Catastrophe with BB-8 cgi'd in

^^^

tarkin-mendelsohn stuff was mildly interesting in rogue one but not crucial and could have been done with some new character, grand moff icky for example. the cgi was distracting and the fact that they did it was creepy, bleah.

I’m starting to recognize the folly of having more than one thread for a franchise that spans more than ten movies and at least as many small screen spin-offs.

I understand what you're saying, but at the same time I think this is probably the best place to relitigate Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. I mean...Wilford Brimley? Really?

He’s still available to reprise his role

How has no one mentioned that we get Lando

I thought that had been revealed several weeks ago. I knew about it, anyway. I hope I wasn't expected to spread the word. That would be really embarrassing.

Throw in some scenes from Soapdish too, and I'm there

Maybe a couple scenes in bed with Bruno Kirby

I feel like this really needs to just be an R-rated Chewbacca-centric revenge flick where he just goes John Wick on the First Order, all the Knights of Ren and any other poor schmuck in between him and Kylo. I want him to go HAM offscreen like Terence Stamp in The Limey, and then roar threateningly at the one guy he intentionally lets live as a warning to the others.

was going to say "would also watch" until I remembered this is still co-written & directed by JJ Abrams

they made a murderous wookiee bounty hunter character in the comics and he’s everything you’d hope for as far as murderous wookiee fan service goes

I don’t want some rando Wookiee, I want Chewbacca to finally tear out some limb-from-limb justice for all the friends he’s watched die over 60-odd years of this far, far away galactic bullshit

it's kinda sad that yoda, while stopping in as a force ghost in last jedi, didn't make time to go visit chewbacca too. "ahhhhh my old friend, i have never forgotten our time together" etc.

I forgot RotS pretty quickly, so I'm sure Yoda did too

we actually never know if he stops in on Chewbacca tbf, because we never spend enough time with Chewbacca in these freakin' movies

I feel like this really needs to just be an R-rated Chewbacca-centric revenge flick where he just goes John Wick on the First Order

For the purpose of exposition, Chewbacca in a starring role would require some tiresome character(s) constantly saying stuff like, "what's that Chewie? you want my light saber? but you don't know how to use one", just so there could be some kind of dialogue or character development other than Chewbacca roaring/ honking at everyone non-stop. Han Solo played that role in the first (now last) three films, but there has to be a limit to how much of that an audience would put up with.

Other than that little technical problem, it sounds like a great idea.

tbf most all "grizzled wetwork operator goes on revenge tour" films tend to feature extremely taciturn protagonists pitted against cocksure kingpins who blather on and on, oblivious to their inevitable fate until the climax, so I dunno how much expository spoken-subtitling Chewie would need.

Yeah does John Wick have lines?

About 460,000 results for does Chewbacca have a penis.

....and worlds collide.

there was a Doctor Who in the first Star Wars!

phantom menace? who is it? ;-)

And wasn't one of Empire's bounty hunters dressed up in an old Doctor Who costume as well?

Can someone please enlighten me as to which Dr. Who was in the OG Star Wars and who he played?

Peter Cushing, who was in an unofficial/official Doctor Who movie or two in the sixties.

He played Grand Moff Tarkin.

Yes, but who did he play in Star Wars?

He played Alec Guinness

Ok, I had no idea Peter Cushing played Dr. Who at one point.

I was expecting it to be some random cantina alien or something

Well yes that also happened, Snaggletooth was I believe the Third Doctor.

Aw HELL YES

Actually Peter Cushing did play many games of holochess against Alec Guinness, while waiting between takes on the set of the Millennium Falcon.

Funny. Many fair points. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f83D18xL7VE

I am not going to watch an hour-long YouTube about a two-hour movie.

plinkett reviews are generally really incisive tbf (if somewhat... problematic occasionally)

i will never forgive you for exposing me to that comment section

Holy shit I didn't realise it was Red Letter Media, gtfo here with that.

Like, I was going to say that in the year of our lord 2018, I don't really want to watch something where the screengrab is a caricature of Comic Book Guy, whether the balance is praising or damning that straw man, I didn't realise it is the one site that tries to set both to 11.

I’ve never watched any of those rape-comedy review things but I guess at least they’re saving time by coming out before the movie now?

I'll be impressed if that's their last Star Wars video because that shit brings the clicks like nothing else they do
