Your havin' a laff!!!!!
True all that is, but I'm talking about the films, not books or comics.
Yes, Lucas started it all with the prequels, and mediocre as they are, he at least tried to do something different and expand his Star Wars universe.
I picked up a Star Wars continuation novel once. 'Heir to the Empire' I think it was called. I got about 50 pages in and it was appalling.
No not one bit, I much more enjoyed R1, SPECTRE was embarrassing.
SF & SP are night and day, Mendes did say he thought he probably only had one good Bond film in him when he was dilly and dallying whether to do Bond 24, I just wish he'd stuck to that.
Almost as embarrassing as an actor with a CGI Peter Cushing face, eh? ;)
Depends how many dead actors they bring back with dodgy CGI I suppose...
The Cushing face was a bit more obvious I spose.....
As I've said, CGI Photo-real humans are obviously a long way off!
I'm happy to hear they've opted NOT to go that route for Princess Leia in Episode IX. Would've been just as jarring as Tarkin's work was, and would've put a damper on the conclusion to the trilogy.
I don't know if I can agree with that.
Yes, the Expanded Universe novels, comics and cartoons have always been there, but they always existed as a separate entity (at least to me) even though Lucas dubbed them as canon. They were optional.
The films were major events because they only came around every so often and stayed focused on the main characters, while the novels could fill in the blanks between episodes so and so, elaborate on the more obscure characters, or tell us more about the past or future, etc...
And I think they served their purpose well for those who chose to go the extra mile. Now, I'm not saying that I'm against these spinoff films in principle, but it's hard not to see this Han Solo movie as anything but a cynical cash grab. I actually enjoyed Rogue One (with some reservations) but Disney is going overboard by releasing a new film every year.
I have nothing against the EU, but not every story needs to be a major film event, that's all.
Jason Voorhees eat your heart out
Major Spoilers obviously
For me, "The Force Awakens" is probably the worst Star Wars movie I have ever seen so far. Still, it was better than the Holiday Special.
Purchasing Rogue One on Friday which is the UK download release date, I have only watched the film once though really enjoyed the final act. I do recall yawning early on watching Rogue One in the cinema, most films on first watch your initiall feeling is what the end of the film gave you. The film did have great visuals through out which was a plus point, I hope the first two acts work better for me on second viewing.
Mark Hamill posted this on his Facebook page. He was wearing Jeans! JEANS!!! Who knew?!?
*Edit, on a related note, I also learned from the comments section that the top half of the costume was just a super baggy white Martial Arts Gi!
So obvious now that it was pointed out!
Disney CEO Bob Iger discussed the upcoming Star Wars standalone film about young Han Solo during a technology conference at the University of Southern California Thursday, Variety reports.
Iger said the Alden Ehrenreich-starring film will chronicle Solo's life between ages 18 to 24 and explore how the beloved smuggler went about "acquiring a certain vehicle and meeting a certain Wookie." Iger added, "You'll also discover how he got his name." :-S
Along with Ehrenreich, the Han Solo spinoff movie will star Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian and Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke, Woody Harrelson and Michael Kenneth Williams. Phil Lord and Chris Miller will direct the movie, which is scheduled to arrive in 2018.
Iger also spoke about how the Star Wars team will handle the loss of Carrie Fisher, who died last December. Fisher reprised her role as Princess Leia in 2015's The Force Awakens and had also finished filming Episode VII: The Last Jedi, which opens December 15th.
"We are not changing [Episode] 8 to deal with her passing," Iger said. "Her performance remains as it was in 8." He reasserted Disney's past claims that they would not add Fisher in digitally, as they did with late actor Peter Cushing as Grand Moff Tarkin in the recent standalone film, Rogue One.
While Iger will be leaving Disney in 2019, he said the entertainment giant is now planning to extend the Star Wars franchise after they wrap up the latest trilogy with Episode IX. Iger said the team is considering "what could be another decade-and-a-half of Star Wars stories."
Han was a Chinese dynasty from the third century B C. until the third century A.D. They introduced budhism.
Solo is a piece of music for one voice or one instrument, from latin solus (alone).
I am very intrigued as to how it is connected.
EDIT : Of course its him,now ive watched it again its so obvious in the movement and the voice thats its DC...i love it !!
It is obvious, although in the cinema I completely missed it!
