You have read that issue of Star Wars Tales, right? ;)
This is also the reason Peter Mayhew was warned not to go wandering off in costume while they were filming in the Northern California Redwoods for ROTJ.
Was in Target to grab some groceries this evening. They sure do have a lot of Star Wars stuff now! I think half the Halloween costumes are Star Wars. And some prequel characters are represented.
Will be interesting to see how many people dress up as characters from a movie that won't be out until Christmas time.
I also saw an "angry teddy bear" mask that looks like a crazed Ewok.
Almost impulse bought an Artoo kitchen timer, but I have two ordinary timers already.
I didn't linger in the toy aisle too long to avoid accidental spoilers, but the BB-8 display was neat. And those four foot tall(!) action figures made me a little envious that Kenner never thought of such a thing way back when.
Much to my surprise, they had cheap lookalike electronic lightsabers in the dollar section. I recall Fox going after such copycat items in the old days, and considering the real deal is on the other side of the store, it's a little strange. I'm sure Disney isn't going to like it.
Few other films have been constantly re jiggered with to this degree, so most studios don't have such a convoluted mess to undo though.
He can't be a ghost until Frink's edit is finished. ;)
In spite of all the changes, the credits haven't been updated since 1997.
You'd think the ILM fellows responsible for pasting a Dug into Jabba's palace, or Wicket's demonic eyes would want some acknowledgement. ;)
When was Shaw's credit ever removed? He's still there when the mask comes off, even though his eyebrows aren't.
Even Clive Revill's name remains on ESB, and he's totally gone .
I don't see how this merited a new thread.
And beware the rabbit...
Nobody disses Chewie on my watch! ;)
There still could be health issues that are unique to clones.
I think TCW touched upon whether clones have rights, but this is the same galaxy where sentient droids get kicked out of sleazy bars. ;)

Uuuuuuuuugh, that damn Boba Fett rumor. That one has always seemed particularly stupid. Von Sydow is decades too old.
Wasn't it established in The Clone Wars that clones eventually age faster as a side effect of the process that accelerates their growth into adults? There was even a clone who worked at the cloning facility that was prematurely aged.
Even though Boba was "unaltered", he could still have the aging issue.

I wouldn't mind if Vader appears in Rogue One with Hayden kickin' around inside the suit, if he really wants to. But Hayden in the sequel trilogy doesn't compute.
Even if Vader appears in Rogue One, why use Hayden? He may have buffed up for the prequels, but his scene as the masked Darth Vader made it very clear that he's no David Prowse.
I agree that I don't really want him to appear in the sequel trilogy. Partly because I'm not a fan of his performance, even though I believe Lucas' inept direction to be partially responsible, and partly because Anakin's story has been told.
If it's little more than a cameo in Rogue One, getting Prowse back in the Vader suit would be a nice way for the new regime to put all those years of acrimony with George to rest.
Wasn't there a bit in an EU novel where Luke finds an old recording of Anakin and Padme in Artoo's memory?
For the last time, any discussion of Landis and the TZ film goes elsewhere.

I met John Landis, He's a nice guy. I wen't to a screening of American Werewolf in London where he was releasing / signing his new book. "Monsters in the Movies"
I don't think it's something he would make up, so he knows something, and has shared it and he's obviously excited about it too.
A Very Warm person is John Landis.
While I would never call Landis a "nice guy" (especially after the Twilight Zone incident) but I really hope he's correct.
Same here. I really like his films but I can't get over what happened on that set. They really shouldn't have even made that movie to be honest.

For the record; He only works in Rogue One. Completely unnecessary in the ST.
Anakin would be Vader already though?
Because it needs repeating...
Separated at birth? ;)
As always, take anything from MSW with a huge grain of salt.
Downvote? When did we become youtube?
How come I've never heard of this movie before?

Bernard Lee is in it too. I'll bet someone could fanedit this into a "lost" Bond film. ;)
I would guess someone at Lucasfilm keeps him in the loop.
Never been there, but perhaps you'll find bits of the set that have been buried since 1982. :)
I've had the urge to seek out and photograph the Van Nuys warehouse that ILM once called home, but it's been a miserably hot summer.
Please keep on topic. This is not the shoot the messenger thread.
If you feel compelled to discuss Mr. Landis and The Twilight Zone accident, take it to off topic. Thank you.

Why does it even surprise me any more when they do stuff this way? ;)
Well, that chestnut about Jabba has been around since 1983, so you can't blame people for taking it at face value. ;)
