This is an idea I've had for a long time, but it ended up much more difficult than I was expecting...and thus I'm not 100% sure it works. But I'll let y'all be the judge.
Was thinking about this scene again. If this song doesn't fit there, maybe somewhere else? It's tailor made for Anakin...
Devo reference for the win!

I remember reading that interview a while ago and being really disappointed. Even the people who made Star Wars have trouble seeing its greatness, it would seem.
Eventually I shrugged it off and said whatever, but it still kind of annoys me. Given Mr. Ford's comments about wanting Han to have died in Return of the Jedi, I begin to strongly suspect that the only way they lured him back to make Episode 7 was to give him a suitable death for his character.
If that is the case, he might be happy about it, but I certainly won't be.
Ark of the Covenant stuffed full of money delivered to Harrison's house notwithstanding, they could have also promised Han is wiser, not just older now.
The final death of Saturday morning cartoons on broadcast tv. Truly the end of an era...

Who/what's Rex?
The droid pilot on the Star Tours ride in Disney parks.
So was Atari Star Wars, if you remember. ;)
Okay, let's all chill out and continue this elsewhere, please?

He was absolutely boring and useless in the movies. I guess the main problem is he didn't scream and called everybody a motherfucker.
The ONLY scene which I liked where he was was his death scene, maybe because it was the first time he showed ANY emotion in the whole trilogy. Not sure however if it was his fault or George's
Frink's edits correct that problem. ;)

Check out the videos.
I concur about not wanting to watch TMP again anytime soon.
What troubles me about all this is, this tape apparently was secretly recorded two years ago. Who had it all this time, and why were they just sitting on it?
Once someone knew, not reporting it in a timely fashion doesn't make sense. Isn't that technically aiding and abetting? Does a doctor/patient confidentiality preclude this as well?
And TMZ doesn't get this sort of thing for free either.

I don't think I've ever heard Harrison actually disparage the character.
Here you go:
http://insidemovies.ew.com/2014/05/07/star-wars-episode-vii-harrison-ford-and-han-solo-bury-the-lightsaber-essay/But whenever the conversation turned to his other cinematic rogue, Ford’s crooked smile tended to bend south and be punctuated with an eyeball roll. “He’s dumb as a stump,” the actor groaned.
Interesting, but it clearly states that interview was conducted in 2008. And I think he's only comparing Han to the other roles he's played. Maybe he was thinking of Bob Falfa? ;)
Every actor who's played an iconic role seems to go through a period where they don't realize the impact that character has on people. Just ask William Shatner.
Peter Quill in Guardians of The Galaxy is very much a Han Solo type, except he does mature, and takes charge of the situation in a way Han didn't in the OT.
Interesting if true. Did he write anything just for any of the prequel trailers?
I don't think I've ever heard Harrison actually disparage the character. He'd likely still be a carpenter if not for Han Solo.
In old interviews he had issues with the dialog in Star Wars, and allegedly expressed a desire to tie George Lucas to a chair and make him say those lines!
The front page was up, but if you tried to go the forums, you would have seen a message telling you we were offline for maintenance.
Sadly, my suggestion for an informational graphic was not used. ;)
Yes, it's not like these things are on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet, stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying Beware of the Leopard, or anything. :P
Moderator toga party. ;)
Rush to judgement much?
TMZ is the bottom feeder of celebrity trash though. I really hope it's not true.
Something that happened 40 years ago is going to be hard to investigate either way. There's also the messy divorce angle.
To be precise, Dick Tracy's was a two way wrist radio, (and later a tv) not a smartwatch.
Smartwatches have been around in one form or another for a while now.

Are they even using the same animation house they set up for TCW?
You'd think they had a well oiled machine on that end, even though it's a new show.
Is it too much to ask that people on a Star Wars board know how Wookiee is spelled? I don't misspell the name of your species... ;)

Yeah, I think the only reason she made it out alive was the show's sudden cancellation.

I think that had more to do with Ahsoka being Filoni's waifu than anything else.
Eww, he created her and then raised her throughout the life of the show. She's more like his daughter than anything else.
Because nobody should ever not want to kill off one of their characters. George didn't kill Jar Jar either. ;)
In any case, she left the Jedi order before the final season. That plot line had to have been written way before they knew the show was getting the ax.

I thought "Rebels" was ok, but I expect the series to get significantly better as it goes on. I'd really like to see Leia introduced near the end of the series, and I think it would be really cool if the series ends right where "Star Wars" starts.
I like the idea of the final episode ending with Leia going to pick up Kenobi on Tattooine and the Ghost crew going off to meet Bail Organa on Alderaan. Then we all know what happens. . .
They likely would never do an ending that dark, even if it's implied.
The Clone Wars got Ashoka safely out of the way of the events in Episode III.
