I feel bad that Mark Hamill never had a chance beyond Star Wars and super hero cartoons. He’s so enthusiastic. My favorite story is him emailing Kevin Smith from the set of The Last Jedi, asking if the Trickster will be in his episode of the Flash. He’s making millions playing Luke Skywalker, and he has some C List TV super villain on his mind.

Mark Hamill’s Joker is a bit of a thing.

Pretty sure Hamill got Percent Gross rights from A New Hope and has said he basically has money to live off of and can pick and choose his projects.

I legit love Mark Hamill in Wing Commander III, and if I ever meet him, that’s probably the performance I’d bring up. That or The Joker.

The first two games had semi animated cut scenes, but the third and fourth games had full on live action scenes with branching plot lines, and consequences for failed missions (if your wingman died on a mission, they stopped showing up in cut scenes). You could end the game by straight up dooming humanity if you hosed up enough. The cast was a lot of fun, too. Mark Hamill, John Rhys-Davies, Malcolm McDowell, Tom Wilson, and a few other, “Hey, I know that guy!” actors. IV was only okay, but Wing Commander III is a god drat classic.

He wanted to make movies, not games, so he blew $13 million on building a poo poo-ton of physical sets instead of the CGI ones they used for III, and also insisted on shooting on 35mm film as opposed to digital video. They also turned Tolwyn into Space Hitler, which was a heel turn out of nowhere. The game was also a rush job, with them using basically the same engine from Wing III (which was itself adapted from Wing Commander Armada), because they couldn't afford much development work on it because Roberts pissed all his budget away on the movie portion.

Darth TNT posted:Holy crap at that cast! I've never played any of the wing commander games. I assume you need a joystick for them? You can mouse-and-keyboard them but I really, really would not recommend that. They go for sale on GOG every few months. In addition to the cast members already mentioned, Wing III also has Jason Bernard, John Schuck (Klingon ambassador from Star Trek IV / VI), Tim Curry, Francois Chau, a very young Josh Lucas, and Ginger Lynn Allen. Wing IV adds Richard Riehle, John Spencer, Mark Dacascos (ALLEZ CUISINE!), Chris Mulkey and Robert Rusler, who you might remember from the second season of Babylon 5. They scaled back the budget with Wing Commander Prophecy (there's a part where Hamill's character is kidnapped by the aliens, the player character has a nightmare about him being tortured, and Hamill is just covered in Silly String--I poo poo you not), but Hamill, Wilson, Allen, Peter Jason, Mulkey and maybe one or two other actors from Wing III / IV return, I forget (Prophecy kind of sucks, honestly).

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, The Ultimate Preview Vanity Fair article with some character info and Annie Lebowitz photos.        I love the caracter design on Keri Russel's Zorri Bliss and Naomi Ackie's Jannah. But it's not like these are production stills. Also, I'm assuming this doesn't mean Luke comes back from the dead or something, and is just Lebowitz taking a picture of him in costume, but he's really a Force Ghost in the movie? thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 14:18 on May 22, 2019 |

Based on what I’m reading I think that the shot of Luke is a flashback to the burning of the Jedi Academy The weirdest thing I found from the article was this- https://twitter.com/riri19911/status/1131190528782028800?s=21 I feel like this movie is going to be a mess

It sure feels like this movie has to pick up on whatever remaining plot threads still exist that Rian Johnson didn’t throw out the window in TLJ. Plus they are doing the timeskip. They really should have just had one director or one person decide the plot for the entire trilogy since they have basically said that there was no plan and it shows

Three years passed between ANH and ESB, and one year passed between ESB and ROTJ. And that had a cliffhanger of "Find Han" to wrap up.

Didn't they say Sheev coming back was something that was planned from the outset? fake edit: yep quote:“This has been in the blueprint for a long time, yeah. We had not landed on exactly how we might do that, but yes, it was always [to be in Episode IX],” Kennedy told Yahoo Entertainment’s Kevin Polowy.

And old man Luke was never on Sneeze with R2 until Rey showed up in TLJ so maybe it's a flashback to TLJ which would be incredible purely for the stupestitude alone. Not to mention this can't be Ghostluke either since he still has robo-hand.

I like how that entire vanity Fair article only mentions rose twice, both in past tense from TLJ And her love interest replacement is another non-white person except this time a primitive using a bow and arrow. What if sexy Chewbacca but less developed , as a new character, I guess

The Luke shot could very well just be a staged shot. It doesn't have to tie into any particular scene in the movie. Luke looks like his self when he died. So his appearance here would basically just be his Force Ghost self just not with the post-CGI wizardry. A bit lol that we have yet another desert planet. Really thought they were going back to Jakku at least in this one.

Lebowitz visits the set and takes staged photos of everyone while they're in costume however she wants.

I don’t have a problem with the timeskip. I feel like they had no choice since TLJ ends with the entire Resistance force being wiped out and the survivors only on the Falcon. I do have a problem with them bringing back Palpatine again. Why? They pretty much did Palpatine again but dumber with Snoke. None of the living characters have any connection with Palpatine whatsoever unless there is a retcon of some kind.

I can't imagine these films wouldn't feel more cohesive if the exact same set of events had occurred, but the first film was about Luke and Ben's falling out, the second one was about Luke having hidden away and Rey's quest to find him, and the third one was about Luke and/or his new apprentice facing down his greatest failure.

I'm baffled by the idea that anyone thinks the 70s had a "sense of innocence" which is missing now. Like, I'm pretty sure the original Star Wars did, but it was considered an aberration at the time. It's also weird that the people who make these movies now are afraid of it turning into Flash Gordon. e: "the new movies aren’t like that. They’re not nostalgic. They don’t long for the past"
