Big Mean Jerk posted:I'd rather watch an 80 year old Han Solo complain about his back and not notice when he farts than recast the character or let Shia LeBeouf touch the role. This reminds me of a complaint I had with the FOTJ books. I'm not sure if this just started with these books, or how long they've been doing this, but what the hell is up with putting real world versions of things into the stories? It's extremely annoying to read about Jedi Mast Kenth Hamner and his cold cup of CAFF, or watching vestara read her datapad about a TEXT MESSAGE she got. I know things like refreshers and sanisteams or whatever have been pretty common but the way they mention coffee in these books makes me picture a Star(wars)bucks on every corner.

Huh, never noticed it before. Must be the way it's spoken about in the audio book. Seriously if anyone is considering reading FOTJ I suggest the audio books. This guy has a pretty wide range of voices, and they throw in music for some scenes as well. Makes the books more exciting/bearable.

Indiana Jones and the sex offenders registerquote:Lucas also wanted to make Indiana Jones a pedophile who had sex with Marion when she was 12. That explains the line "I was a child. It was wrong and you knew it!" when Jones meets Marion in Nepal. Spielberg and Lawrence Kasdan had to talk Lucas out of providing too many details to the audience about their relationship. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3352674&pagenumber=3#post382705544

If anyone saw that Justin Lee Collins Reunion attempt on British TV, he was talking with Billy Dee and Billy recalled the scene with the Sarlacc in ROTJ and kept saying George Lucas was kinky. That and the creepy rumours of him flirting with Fisher with ANH really is unsettling now.

Big Mean Jerk posted:McGregor's Obi-Wan is one of the few things I like about the prequels. Sure, his dialogue was poo poo, but he had a lot of Sir Alec's mannerisms down pat. McGregor's Obi-Wan, Liam Neeson's Qui-Gon Jinn and Mace Windu in the book version of RotS are the only good parts of the prequels. I'd rather watch my laser disc version of the OT then any 3-D version.

Maybe I'm cynical, but frankly hearing that directors are sleeping with their starlets isn't surprising. I'm fairly certain the REAL reason Megan Fox got removed from Transformers is she stopping sleeping with Michael Bay. This is a pretty common common thing, I mean even Star Trek had this. Roddenberry was a HUGE horndog and was actively sleeping with every female cast member. And this trend continued, do you guys remember Seven of Nine, the Star Trek babe? She was sleeping with the producer at the time. Just how Hollywood works.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, I didn't read LotF. I guess my problem might be based on the fact I'm hearing the words instead of reading them. The delivery sounds like there's an emphasis on the specific words that make them stand out to me.

Or at least that's what I interpreted it as, leading to a massive "are you loving serious?" moment.

LOTF also had characters using fake curse words from both BSG and Farscape (frak, frell). Or Jacen/Caedus reusing quotes from Tony Blair speeches. Of course those only happened in books written by one of the three authors, I'm sure I don't have to say which one.

Has it ever been established if humans in the Star Wars universe age slower or live a lot longer than real world humans? The aging thing can be explained away with science or the magic of myth but I don't remember it ever being mentioned in the books. I'm really just curious because Han Solo looks like he's in his 40's on some of the newer books when he's in his early 70's. Same goes for Luke and the rest of the group. They really need to retire the characters, literally.

I liked that they started making Luke look older because for the longest time he just looked like he did in the movies. They just did 20 years too late. I kind of wish the fiction people would give a big send off, they should have done this at the end of NJO and then just focused on fleshing out Knights of the Old Republic era or Legacy comic era stuff. Then they wouldn't be able to write about how badass Boba Fett is so that will never happen.

It is probably safe to say that while humans may not age more slowly, the vastly superior medical care available means everyone is generally in much better shape for far longer. I mean, Pellaeon was still going strong in his early 90s. That (plus bad writing) just means we're stuck with all the old farts for that much longer though.

Basically, after they hit 40 in Star Wars years subtract 10-20 years to get their real world age. Han is 70 in universe, 50 in ours. Luke is 60 in universe, 45+ in ours. Etc, etc.

It really doesn't bother me that much. It's more of a just a "Really?" type deal. I think the stories would be a million times better if the characters had to deal with their age and the world they built collapsing around them. Instead they're still running around like it's the early post Endor years because a great deal of the Star Wars writers lack imagination.

The human aging thing has actually gone back and forth. In the really early EU (stuff like Marvel, the 80's WEG stuff, and even the Thrawn Trilogy and Truce at Bakura) it's assumed that advanced technology means that humans live far longer than they do today - there are a number of humans from then who are a century or two old. Then when the EU got a bit more established under Bantam it basically became that SW humans aged the same as real-life humans, with characters like Mon Mothma dying from old age in their 70s for example. Then as of a few years ago it's swung back around again, literally for the sole purpose of explaining how the Big Three could still be around and active. Denning was actually the one who reintroduced this retcon to justify how active Han and Leia were in his LOTF books with the typical Denning quote "In the GFFA 70 is the new 40"

There was that nano-machines thingy that the Caridan ambassador infected her with. Its not exactly outside the realm of imagination that it could have done enough damage, super medical technology aside, to have shortened her life expectancy? (Why the gently caress am I devil's advocating this?)
