Come on you Jets!

If their Roof-Attack player scores in the final I'm naming my children after him!

In the 7th 'Lone Wolf & Cub' film (1980's 'Shogun Assassin') so many people die, that the promotional material says "It's impossible to keep a body count!"... so beat that!

If Threepio had been Padme's butler from the start and R2 had been a Pit-Droid at the Mos Espa arena, that'd be about right for their character's established behaviours.

Oh my god, this is disturbing...

...sleep well everybody.

I'm also gonna say you might want to check out Dredd.  It's well-known that everybody thought it was gonna be awful.

 I remember thinking it would be amazing and watching it 5 times at the cinema but maybe my memory is faulty ;-)

Keep Luke on Dagobah. In ESB he goes from 100% not going to help them and obeying Yoda, to fully packed and leaving in the next scene anyway?!? How about he only leaves after Yoda dies or when Han is Frozen...

You could cut straight from "I love you... I know... wookie howl of anguish*" to Luke dropping the stones? He never goes to Bespin and goes off after Lando, Leia and Chewie's desperate persuit of Fett. That would explain why he turns up late to Jabba's palace.

Remember after Hoth, Luke and Han/Leia are essentially in two totally different films. There's no reason why they need to meet up again for 2 minutes before the end of ESB in your version?

That only leaves the Vader/father reveal right? Kenobi's chat about Anakin could maybe be re-edited to reveal that. Or another method could be redubbing Vader's lines from ESB over the final battle in ROTJ. When Luke is hiding in the throne room, just before losing his sh*t and attacking Vader. Swap the line from "...perhaps she will - Nooo!" to "...I am your father - Nooo!"

Then maybe Ben's "Why didn't you tell me?" chat could take place on Endor between the start of the Ewok celebration and him burning his father's body. The Dagobah footage can be converted quite closely to Endor. I know because I've tried it myself.

Vader and Palpatine are the only two people you can cut to and fill the gap between ESB and ROTJ.

A Boba Fett movie can still stay true to the OT while still respecting/ignoring the prequels, no problem, since he's a kid in the PT. They'd have to ignore the SE-DVD redub, but that's it.

Coming up with some elaborate move to replace the man inside suit seems like a waste of screen time and a waste of my brain space. As long as he sounds and acts like Clint Eastwood it's all good.

The Dredd movie would be a very good place to start for inspiration for a Fett film. Dredd does almost zero to make us like him, infact he does many reprehensible things. But you love him in the end because he's a man of principle, because he does nothing to make himself likeable and he's a badass warrior.

Also you couldn't go far wrong with Fett in a 'Point Blank' style one-man-army revenge film. Fett gets a job, he's betrayed by the criminal organisation that hired him, left for dead, the money is stolen and he spends the whole film hunting down those responsible, one-by-one until he's stood in front of the big cheese and asking for the 1 million space bucks that he's owed.

It's meant to be a sh*t pun... like The Beatles.

You cannot have a protagonist that wears a stationary mask the whole time.

It would be UN-watchable.

Didn't stop Ed Norton giving the best performance in that film.

Darth Id said:

Hell no I didn't see DREDD.  That's my point.

You really should, it's a great hardcore action flick 80s style (and not in the 'Expendables' pastiche way either).

You can do a lot with a voice. Bane, Darth Vader... er Phantom of the Opera? That's the reason why the redubbing of Boba is for me the worst change that Lucas ever made. It's his whole character.

^is that meant to be a pun because it's not working from where I'm sitting?

"Sitting... like a bird sits on it's nest... egg!"

Histor the time-travelling crow teaching kids about History, with his sidekick Pliny the Elder younger crow.

History = Histor's Eye

Makes perfect sense to me.

I found this T-Shirt onsale for just £9.99! :-D

This depths of this thread right now...

Nice tip, thanks Boost. Good cast there.

Has John Radcliffe Hospital got a Bacta Tank?

Does anyone here follow the Koran?

 So you admit that Bingo is just complaining to annoy people here?

 I'm saying that what you said is irrelevant unless someone here follows the Koran's teachings.

 and I am saying unless he is just doing this to annoy the people here, he should complain about the anti-gay stuff in the Koran as much as he does the anti-gay stuff in the Bible.    The fact that no one here follows the Koran is irrelevant.

It's not prejudice against Christians. If you are born and raised in a country that indoctrinates you in the stories of the Bible from the earliest possible age. Then you are obviously going to know a lot about what it says in the Bible, wether you want to know or not.

The Quran, The Torah and The Rigveda may well say far worse things than The Bible but my (and I suspect Bingowing's knowledge, sorry if I'm speaking out of turn?) is rather more limited when it comes to those texts, since we had to choose to find out about them (My Grade-A in GCSE-RE not withstanding LOL).

...and while I'm on that  subject, saying there is "anti-gay stuff in the Koran" isn't a defense of what it says in The Bible.

It's possible the recently late Rik Mayall might just get a second number one single in the UK charts. People are trying to get his 'Noble England' song from 2010 (It didn't chart at the time) up to the topper-most of popper-most in time for the World Cup. It's basically that there speech from that 'Henry V' set to music and it's very funny...

I'm not sure that most Football fans will get the joke and just take it at face value but hey it'd be cool to hear Rik (and William Shakespeare) on Radio1.

It annoys me when people spell "Spider-Man" as "Spiderman".

 Spyde-urh-marhn

On a similar yet also random point... there is a joke in 'Blackadder's Christmas Carol' in which Blackadder points out that Baldrick has amazingly managed to spell "Christmas" without any of it's constituent letters. I always wondered how? Perhaps like this...

DOUBLE SUPERHEROS

Affleck- Daredevil/ Batman

Evans- Johnny Storm/ Captain American

Berry- Storm/ Catwoman

DNoffrio- Thor/ Kingpin

am I missing any?

 Good call on a topic dude :-)

Cage - Big Daddy / Ghost Rider (/ Himself)

Taylor-Johnson - Kick-Ass / Quicksilver

Page - Boltie / Kitty Pryde

Reynolds - Deadpool / Green Lantern

Kitsch - John Carter / Gambit

(Oh and you forgot Affleck has played Superman too... kinda)

Re^: Bingo posted a Wiki link. He's the man in the UK who takes away all our money and spends it on things we don't want it spent on... although presumably his tax regime is responsible for bringing Star Wars back to it's rightful home... so begruddingly I'll thank him for that ;-)

...and yes I did notice I'd trimmed out the green-screen but I was giving it a pass since it's in the same shot as the Falcon cockpit and unless they are actually launching that thing for real... some green screen is needed.

I can still see his feet.

 Yeah, I was trying to balance my desire to remove him completely, with my equally strong delight in having the tear rip right through his body ;-)

I'm optimistic for the future. Hollywood seems to have finally hit on the magic-formula for making genre flicks of this nature, after decades of getting it wrong. Here's how I see it in 5 easy steps...

1. Get good writers.

2. Get good directors.

3. Get good actors.

4. Don't sh*t on the fanbase and if possible get them on your side by staying true to the source.

5. (The most important rule) Don't make it sh*t (and/or cheap).

Rule five would seem obvious but I was reminded the other day by a random screening of 1994's 'Street Fighter', that not so long ago Hollywood hadn't dicovered any of these 5 rules to cult-fandom box-office gold.

Ahhhhhh, that's better now we can enjoy just the good parts of this photo ^.

You're probably right.  Did you know that as unicorns were nearing extinction, one final female was pregnant with twins.  Then she got an abortion.  Now there are no more :(

 Too right, Unicorn-incest* should never be allowed.
