I want a Generation Kill: Star Wars, not Star Wars 7. But they say I'm just crazy. The pigeons at the park disagree but what do we know?


Agreed! The jedi/sith crap is dull. Most of us loved the originals due to the battles, ships, guns, Han Solo etc. It was nicer when the Force was scarce.

All 3 of the prequels had major ground and space battles. **shrug**

All centered around the Jedi, galaxy space patrol.
None of them had the cool factor of the Death Star fight, Hoth or Endor. Bigger, but it wasn't cool. Maybe the Clones in ep2, but that was still more about Jedi crap and most people had no idea what the fight was really about the first time they saw it.

Considering how much time they spent talking about the Separatists breaking away from the Republic, if all you got was "Jedi crap" I guess you focused a lot more on the aspects you didn't like.

Jeeze... I just told my wife many of the original cast were in, Hamill, Fisher, Ford... you know.

She thought a second and then asked me: Who plays Darth Vader?

I'm NOT going to ever answer that question.

LOL I guess she doesn't know that this film takes place after Return of the Jedi?

Well, it took at least two people to play him, anyway.
And did Christopher Lee wear the suit for some of the
sword scenes?

Dooku never wore anything resembling Darth Vader's suit.

Ah, right. I had somehow misremembered Lee as being
the fencing double for those, but I guess he was long
past that phase of his career, being too expensive
for such work.

He only did half his own scenes for Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith as well. As he put it, at his age his arms still worked fine, but the legs no longer did.

Of course, while he was still relatively hale and fit for those and the LOTR films, in the Hobbit films it's obvious even that is now a chore for him. His scenes consist of him standing or sitting, not even walking anymore. The behind the scenes footage shows him walking briefly and he looks to be having a hard time of it.

I read on IGN that a hydraulic air door on the set didn't work and possibly fractured his ankle. Not good.

Just his ankle? He conquered diarrhea on the set of "Raiders of the Lost Ark!"


The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.
