Trying to cast an Indian actor or an actor of Indian origin?
I must ask Wilf where Puerto Rica is on your Earth.
There was nothing about Khan that tied him to India on the screen in the old continuity.
Benedicio del Toro was supposed to be Khan at first but than something went wrong, they were trying at first.

Well I don't think he's a good director, he is clearly more preoccupied with the spectacle and grandiosity of action set pieces and special effects. This is clear in the PT, where 95% of dialogue and exposition is between characters sitting at tables or couches with a three camera over the shoulder setup. The action scenes are interesting visually but fail because we don't care about the people they're happening to, like he wanted to skip past the "boring" taking scenes to get to the visual effects bits. I don't think he knows what a good story is and how to tell it, he should give that job to writers and directors who know what they're doing. If he wants to keep running ILM, hey, that's cool.
Aren't most action scenes pretty pedestrian besides the Maul duel? Tsui Hark is like that with the story but the action is at leasttop notch.

Lucas doesn't need to regain his prestige. What needs to happen is more people need to be educated on just how overrated Lucas has always been. How he's a hack who got lucky in 1977.
I doubt many people think he is great besides some Star Wars fanatics.
We had seen him showing of his gun in a hotel or something in the Force Unleashed comic.
Didn't Ditko work as a recluse?
Jus saying, his educational charity is a gamble, like almost everything dealing with education, his contributions to film school might not help new people with wild/interesting ideas break into the industry.
If not a s fillmaker, why not be remebered as an amazing patron of the arts and finance some high risk deep big budget movies? With his money he could basically do something just as big as the current Marvel U.

I mean, I thought Return of the Jedi established that Fett basically lived at Jabba's. Not that I ever much liked the idea, but what the hell else is he doing just chilling there in the movie?
Wasn't that explained in Tales of Jobba's Palace?
The thing about threads you dislike is that you can always let it die.
Clone Bondage Wars.
Once you go dead, there is no comig back, you go black.
He called Filoni gay or bi?
Move it to Off topic instead of closing it. Thanks.
You know what this relationship was really about:
Now it makes sense why Borkus would make a ''dishwasher'' out of a higly trained commando instead of a bodyguard or a rentable assasin.
Practice requires a conspiracy.

It is quite apparent that some here rival Glenn Beck in their ability to draw connections where none exist.
See here for examples: link
We talking about standard tribalism, not some complicated conspiracy.

How did the clones become so politically partisan (leaning democrat)?
Well, they were raised by the Kaminoan state from birth...
Changing the main character worked for B5...
I mean 4-5 years ago it was pretty diverse place. Is there a clear defining point/points when it went into that direction.
With different characters taking center stage than pur regular heroes. Talking about the Filoni one. How long do you think would had lasted on Cartoon Network. How many seasons?
My avatar has apparently changed. I could not change it for the life of me while i was on the site. Everything is fine? How can i look up my posts?
It's from an obscure comic called Dynamo Joe.
I cannot change my avatar for some reason.
The rule of cool says most of them should wield it.

If new movies happen sooner i could easily see massive sith and Jedi armies, it just looks exciting.
It doesn't look exciting. It looks boring. It also destroys everything good about lightsabers. When it comes to lightsabers on screen at once, less is more.
Few lightsabers on screen at once = Star Wars, Many lightsabers on screen at once = glowstick rave
tht's like saying all martial arts fights should be between 2 people in movies. You gotta mix it up a little, it's not 1977.
[QUOTE] I'm bored by lightsabers at this point. Back in the OT days they served the story. Now they're there to sell toys - the more the better. I'd be up for a Star Wars movie without lightsabers, honestly. [/QUOTE]
No sabers and no Jedi.
[QUOTE] KotOR1 is a pretty bad game overall and in its best moments it's barely mediocre. It's the usual Bioware fare with horrible writing, abysmal quest design, poor story etc. The idea for the twist was pretty good, but the foundations for it just weren't there. KotOR2, on the other hand, despite all its technical shortcomings, and even despite the fact it wasn't finished, was great. [/QUOTE]
What? Bioware is known for being bad at storyteling?
If new movies happen sooner i could easily see massive sith and Jedi armies, it just looks exciting. I never heard of Revan fans hating the OT characters.
