    Peter Mayhew also played The Minotaur in Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger though the character was mostly motion capture, the second Doctor is also in that film and Jane Seymour

    Rian Johnson has a new trilogy in the works as well as Game of Thrones creators Benioff and Weiss making films (2 or 3). The only thing not confirmed is which series will be first.

    It'll be nice to have a 3 year gap after The Rise of Skywalker, and then 1 new movie every 2 years instead of yearly. Will help from getting burned out of SW (even though I'll take em yearly if I could!)

    I just wished Eon had lots of creative story tellers like Disney appears to have.

    True! Imagine if EON had a timeline like that, B25 2020, B26 2022, B27 2024..

    But I guess we're stuck with Purvis and Wade's "brilliant" story telling for once every four to five years now. Step up your writing game EON, James Bond has just as much material to work with as Star Wars!

    There's honestly little reason Bond couldn't have just as much material to work with. The continuation novels can provide ideas, reaching into and updating (and modifying) real events could be used, unlike Star Wars, which is 100% created from scratch. Bond should, if you think about it, have the advantage in that department.

    Does anyone else find it weird that we'll be getting a whole Star Wars trilogy in between two Bond films?

    I too wish we got Bond movies every other year and I don't think a longer development time means better scripts (DN-GF came once a year and are masterpieces, even accounting that the scripts were based on Fleming's novels, it took Fleming only a year to come up with a new book so that means each movie was made on a 2 year schedule; QoS was also made on a shorter time than SP and I think the former's extremely superior than the latter), but at the same time I wouldn't call Disney story tellers that creative. TFA is pretty much a ANH remake.

    Some of the ideas are better than anything in the recent films, I liked the added brutality of Vader

    After all these years I just realised a lightsaber is basically a long white stick with a flashy colour added to it. :P I guess the "woozh" sound made it look cool. The fan fight is cool if a tad overlong, perhaps. The original Vader vs Obi Wan encounter is short and straight to the point. Vader doesn't mess about! Brevity has its advantages.

    I remember the suffering we had to sustain here in Europe. It'd take some for the film to be released over here. Still, fond memories of seeing Ep. I altogether. Went to see the film 5 times in theatres. Yes, 17-year-old me was quite committed.

    I still enjoy it. I know it has flaws, but it's got some great moments.

    The Phantom Menace has certainly become a bad film I love over the years, but God was I disspointed leaving the cinema. Its one of the few films I have queued round the block for, I recall seeing friends exiting from the early showing telling me how great it was :)) which did not help

    One of my favourite scenes from Episode I...


    Baby Anakin 'So you are a Jedi too, pleased to meet you'
    Obi Wan 'Hi Anakin I am going to chop off some of your limbs and leave you to burn alive on a lava planet... Of course I jest'
    Baby Anakin 'I am going to visit all the planets and slaughter everyone, Yipeeeeee!'

    The Luke photo is interesting, possibly another flashback scene involving the Knights of Ren, I would be happy to have a Luke action scene.
