Would you want to see Anakin or Obi Wan in the new trilogy, portrayed by their PT actors?
Time

Would anybody like to see that annoyingly missing movie between AOTC and ROTS, where we actually would have seen Ben and Anakin's friendship and seen all the stuff that Alec Guinness aludes to in SW.

I kinda wouldn't mind that. Like is said above, give both actors a fair chance at playing the characters with good dialogue, a good story and good direction.

Secret Cinema - Empire Strikes Back in London

Less than a month left now and there's a rockin' new poster...

...coverage from CBS (Which shows quite a bit, so beware spoilers!)...

^ FYI: That CBS report mentions SC:SW is coming to a secret-city somewhere in the US within the next 6 months. I like that the CBS report doesn't show you what happens in the finale of the show, just the gleeful "I'm reliving my childhood" faces of the crowd who are seeing the finale...

seeing these two "toys" together is probably one of the weirdest things I've ever seen.
Not to mention the most suggestive.

 Is this your first time on the internet? ;-)

I've been on the fence for quite a while now, but I finally think I'm climbing over to the "I don't want to know or see anything more about TFA from now on" side (I reserve the right to do a complete u-turn in the coming months LOL).

Why &quot;Ben&quot;?
Time

Pre-90s, I thought "Obi-Wan" was a name he was given in the Clone Wars, in honor of some great deeds he'd done helping save some alien world.

Kinda like...

Erwin Rommel: "The Desert Fox?... Now, that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time"

That's ^ just my own theory, or it could have been a military rank

The name on his birth certificate would have been "Ben Kenobi". That is a fact, proved by the two lines...

Luke Skywalker: "I'm here to rescue you. I've got your R2 unit. I'm here with Ben Kenobi"

Princess Leia: "Ben Kenobi? Where is he?"

Otherwise Leia would have said...

"Ben Kenobi? Wait what? Oooooh, do you mean Obi-Wan Kenobi? Right okay, I was confused for a moment there because my father never mentioned this guy ever being called Ben. Anyway, nevermind, shall we get on with escaping from this cellblock?"

Another thing Lucas totally contradicted/forgot for the Prequels.

atheism is too broad a category to rule it as a religion or not a religion.

 Nope, it's real easy. It's not a religion.

Let's say somebody wanted to practice it as such... Where is the Holy-Book? Where are the places of worship? Where is the deity? Where is the religious figurehead? Where are the doctrines? Where are the priests? Where is the organised structure? Where are the forms of dress? Where are the rules? Where is the rigidly defined creation myth? Where is the iconography? Where is the anything that would define something as a religion?

Arguing that it's even vaguely similar is a bit silly.

The new poster is four characters, all roughly the same size just standing there (ok, Solo is acting up, angry at a bus driver or something).

 I totally agree the composition isn't great. I was more making the point that objecting to an artist using "Teal and orange" paint on his brushes was a bit odd. I could also have said it's soooo 1888 ;-)
