Well, your apology isn't accepted and I'll hate you forever and then five more years!

Yeah, you and Jedi Temple34. :-(

hey, he hates me too! We belong to a few of the same clubs it seems!

A few? I think he has everyone on ignore.

EDIT: Okay, ALMOST everyone...

 

I didn't say anything about who JediTemple34 is or isn't ignoring, just that Antcu and I are in a few of the same groups. (we're ignored by JediTemple & we think Superman is overpowered)

Would Superman be overpowered by JT 34?

I totally would have if they were closer to Boston.  Obviously not expecting to achieve anything, but just to be involved in that experience.  Even if its just the simplest of auditions, it's a great story to tell.

WAIT DID YOU SAY BOSTON? WHERE AND HOW CAN I GET IN ON THIS?

JEDIT: Sorry about that guys. Cooled down a bit. Looked it up, I think Humby must have made a typo, don't there were/are/will be auditions in Boston. Shame really considering I live there and fit the description of Thomas perfectly and would be forever happy just by auditioning for Star Wars.

No typo DominicCobb, I said "IF" they were closer to Boston.  Sorry for the confusion though.  But it's true, they are not coming here, which is why I won't be participating.  They are sticking to some larger cities across the States, but actively avoiding some of the largest like NYC and LA. 

Oh wow, my bad, I thought you said "if I was closer to Boston" or something like that. Anyway, a shame.

Hmm, online auditions...

I was watching the Star Wars open auditions on the news yesterday and I'm wondering did any OT.com members give it a shot?

OT.com members were the guardians of peace and the OOT version, until the dark times....the Special Editions.  For 20 years, the SW movies were untouched, until Lucas executed Order 66 on all OT.com members. 

As Lucas said, "All people who believe that Han Shot First are an enemy to the state and republic, once more the SE will rule and we shall have peace!"

Cue the Empire music......

;-)

Is anybody else afraid of the EU influencing the sequel trilogy?

That depends on which EU. There is a mountain of books, comics, and games. Some of it is great, some of it is horrible, and a lot falls somewhere in between.

Any of it. I want the sequel trilogy to be no different than it would be if there wasn't a single bit of EU.

You would have to enter an alternate non-EU universe to confirm that, unless someone on the production team comes out and cites some part of EU as inspiration.

I know, but I still feel how I feel. Do I speak for everybody when I say that Chewie shouldn't be dead in the sequel trilogy just because a book says he is?

Naw. Han, Leia, and Chewie are safe. Luke, though. . . I worry about his fate in 8 or 9 if he sticks around as a Kenobi-type mentor.

EU aside, I think that if any of the OT characters are to die, it would be Han.

Keep in mind that Harrison was burned out on Star Wars at the time. I'm willing to bet Han lives and Harrison's attitude has changed.

And I'm someone who would've preferred his heroic sacrifice in ROTJ.

I also don't want armies of Force-users.
