Oh no.That is sad news.
I met Jake a few years ago at an event in the U.K. He was so friendly and came across as a real nice guy.

He seemed to be at peace with his role in recent years. The burdens of a prominent role in a Star Wars film can be overwhelming even for an adult.

I hope he gets the treatment he needs.

If I was George, I would secretly write a check to ensure Jake gets “the best” treatment money can buy. The man had a HUGE impact on his life (when Jake was in his development years) and made a HUGE profit from it. Not saying George is required to do such a thing, but I hope a compassionate billionaire would consider it.

George is so out of touch I doubt he is aware of any of this.

I’d love to see the OT at Alamo but no thank you SE.

If it IS the 97 SE on film (which the articles say its the 97 SE, but what do they know), that might be interesting for Respecialized and color grading projects.

And its put on by Alamo, not at their theaters.

As much as I want it to be unaltered, I can’t resist the prospect of finally seeing the OT in theaters, SE or no.

Unfortunately that doesn’t matter because I can’t go. It’ll be playing in Boston when I’m in LA and LA when I’m in Boston. Urgh.

Not necessarily a random thought, but wasn’t sure where else to put this. Someone on reddit made a nice little find.

And eyebrows, fwiw.

I love that they embraced that on Rebels in the last episode.

The new LEGO Star Wars shorts are brilliant. The latest episode, “Poe To The Rescue”, starts a new “The Resistance Rises” arc that leads into TFA. It also takes place immediately after the new “C-3PO: The Phantom Limb” canon comic, which is pretty neat. I’m just trying to justify the fact that I badly want Admiral Ackbar to have a personal ship he adores and calls “Daisy Mae”.

Only saw Poe to the Rescue. Quite a bit better than the original “Young Han Solo” movie:

My daughter keeps calling the big harry guy “Chewbaccra” and it’s too fun to correct.

Other mispronunciations:

-Lifesaver
-Dark Vader
-Kyro Ren
-Mallenium Falcon

My mum still says RT-22 (partly because when we were toddlers we would call our Aunt Katrina, Aunty Too-Too and this was some time before 1977).
She also calls gremlins crimplings for some reason.

I’ve also hear people pronounce his name “Keelow-Ren”

The extras on the bluray had someone calling him that, i can’t recall who though. So lucasfilm didn’t nail it down right away it seems like.
