Geez you guys are insistent about this Dredd thing.

Netflix queue'd.

But if it sucks, you guys have to remunerate me for my time.  And let me warn you.  I get $40 per half-and-half, and I can turn out several in the span of 95 min.

[BTW: thank god it's only 95 min.  Most of these pulp action flicks drag on for 2 1/2 hours nowadays.]

I don't want to see a Revan movie. Canonizing anything about playable video game characters never ends well.

Well I would love to see KOTOR adaptation. For me, KOTOR was what PT should have been.

Why bother anyways? Since 1980 it has been a physical impossibility to make a good Star Wars film. It's the fourth law of thermodynamics.

Yeah, I'll take that one with a pound of salt. Besides, Jeremy Bulloch is tanned, rested, and ready. And he has his own suit now. ;)

Boba Fett Movie Casts Jango Actor Temuera Morrison

He could always be playing PT Boba who gets killed by OT Boba.

 Oh how much I want that to be true.

Boba Fett Movie Casts Jango Actor Temuera Morrison

Assuming this rumour is true for a moment... Temuera is a great actor and was fine as Jango in my book but if he's playing Boba I won't exactly be queuing up to see that movie. Boba's style of voice was established in ESB (HS actually LOL) and it wasn't antipodean.

I found it really wierd in Ep2&3 that most of the supporting cast (Including CGI creatures) suddenly started talking with Australian and New Zealand accents after them all speaking in a blend of British/American accents in the other 4 movies, various TV shows and a plethora of games. In the OT supporting actors with strong regional accents (Cockney, Irish etc) were dubbed over to give the galaxy some kind of uniformity. Naturally this was something Lucas never bothered with doing in lazy PT mode.

Fett Snr having the wrong accent in the PT is small fry compared to all the other travestys so it doesn't bother me too much in the grand scheme but it's an oversight that should not be continued forward into the new SW era IMO.

VIZ TOP TIPS! - PARENTS. Impress your children by showing them a floppy disk and telling them it’s a 3D model of a save icon.

Star Wars is full of Jedi VS Sith. And I LOVE all that force users kickin' the shit out of each other crap to death. But I'm also interested in other aspects of the Star Wars universe, and would love it if these stand alone films focused on stories not related to force users.

I am what all Jedi fear to become, and what all Sith wish to be. A GOD!

I want to see a movie where Jedi and Sith battle it out -- through chess*!

I'm fine with Morrison as Boba.  The voice thing isn't a big deal to me, he says like two lines in ESB and if you're not listening carefully it doesn't even sound that different anyway.

You must be from that universe where Jason Wingreen and Temuera Morrison have similar voices.

Thinking about it, I'd like to see a spinoff where Threepio gets stranded on a planet inhabited by warring bands of organics and cyborgs, forcing him to act as an intermediary for the two sides. It'd bring some meaning to that nebulous "human-cyborg relations" job description of his.

 Yeah they sound different but I'm just saying it isn't really a big deal since there's only like two lines spoken anyway from Wingreen.  

A first time viewer would likely not notice it if they aren't looking for it.

Jango must have the only helmet in the entire SW universe that doesn't change the tone/pitch of his voice.

 First time viewer of OT ESB: "Damn, that wicked spacesuit dude sounds all whisper-y, hissy badass like an interstellar Clint Eastwood.  Goes with his poncho."

First time viewer of SE ESB: "Why does that wicked spacesuit poncho guy have a posh, stilted delivery with a kiwi accent, and sound like his voice is being phoned in by a bored Aukland University Classics professor?"

They would make him a Jedi and not another Han Clone.

I mean who wants another Usagi Yojimbo.

It would also make the Jaxxon the Jedi Bunny internet thing finally true.

I mean because everybody has a lightsaber even mickey mouse.

Should OT Boba's real name be Jaster Mereel?
