If you stayed through the end credits to Guardians of the Galaxy, you'd know Howard doesn't need George any more. ;)
I'd need to start with the opening credits, first. =P
Definitely recommend it. One of the best films this year.
Being John Malkovich (1999)
That was just weird.

Is this the right thread to debate Star Wars stereotypes?
That's one thing I really liked about the Clone Wars. All the clones were voiced by the same dude but he always slightly altered his voice in different ways for each individual clone.

Novelizations are in a sort of grey area right now. I haven't seen any official comment on their canon/non-canon status since the "Legends" business. Same with the radio dramas.
Del Rey said:
The novelizations of the seven films--including The Clone Wars--are canon.
Del Rey said:
To clarify, movie novelizations are canon where they align with what is seen on screen in the 6 films and the Clone Wars animated movie.
As for myself, I too have my own personal canon. But I don't discount the importance of there being an official canon. They need a clear timeline going forward so that they can remain internally consistent and not start having to retcon themselves every other week as the case was in the old EU.
Another year is upon us and the films are already piling up. Here's what we have to look forward to so far:
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials
So which are you looking forward to?
First post has been updated to take into account a number of films that were pushed back. One notable example Welcome To Yesterday was even renamed to Project Almanac.
Another, Prospect, turned out to be a short film. It can be watched here.
her (2013)
Surprisingly emotional and moving. I think this is the best performance I've ever seen from Joaquin Phoenix.
Yeah I saw that. It was awesome for what it was but the sets looked like they were made of plywood and you could see the block of foam they used to cover up the giant opening on the back of his mask. That plus Batman lost, so there's that as well. =P
I would hope so. It's not been officially clarified as far as I know but Wookieepedia has them listed as Legends.

I hope one day independent technology will progress top the point some ambitious filmmakers will take something like this on. Sw fan films are the most impressive of all fanfilms, hope someone "remakes" them
We're already there in regards to special effects. The trouble areas are always sets, performances and the writing.
Erik Pancakes said:
The 2003 Clone Wars cartoon is no longer canon (the 2008 series contradicts it too many times, I think).
Actually they went out of their way to avoid everything covered in Tartakovsky's Clone Wars. So it still fits in perfectly with the later show. Though since George wasn't personally involved in the project it's been discarded.
Your list also leaves out the novelizations of all the films.

I highly doubt they will ever be mentioned by name again in future films.
Saving for potential use on TFA release day. ;)

If midi-chlorians were only a metric by which Force strength is measured, it wouldn't have been an issue.
That pretty much sounds like how they were described:
Qui-Gon Jinn said:
Midi-chlorians are a microcopic lifeform that reside within all living cells and communicates with the Force...Without the midi-chlorians, life could not exist, and we would have no knowledge of the Force. They continually speak to you, telling you the will of the Force.
They're not the Force, they're just what helps us commune with the Force. Which is still incredibly stupid but not as stupid.
The evidence keeps piling up:

About.....?
Welp, it's official!
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH TO PLAY DOCTOR STRANGE
The celebrated actor to become the Sorcerer Supreme!
Benedict Cumberbatch has entered the world of the mystic arts.
The actor will star in Marvel’s “Doctor Strange,” scheduled to hit theaters November 4, 2016. The film, directed by Scott Derrickson with Jon Spaihts writing the screenplay, will follow the story of neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange who, after a horrific car accident, discovers the hidden world of magic and alternate dimensions.
“Stephen Strange’s story requires an actor capable of great depth and sincerity,” said Producer Kevin Feige. “In 2016, Benedict will show audiences what makes Doctor Strange such a unique and compelling character.”
Cumberbatch rose to international prominence with his critically acclaimed turn as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous creation in “Sherlock,” currently preparing its fourth season. The series’ most recent season earned Cumberbatch the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie in 2014, after winning the BAFTA/LA Britannia Award for British Artist of the Year in 2013.
Cumberbatch most recently starred in “The Imitation Game,” playing famed mathematician and logician Alan Turing, and will soon be seen in “The Hobbit: The Army of the Five Armies” as Smaug and the Necromancer. For the role of Smaug, Cumberbatch stepped into the world of motion capture to bring the dragon to life. He will next be seen in Scott Cooper’s film “Black Mass,” the story of Whitey Bulger coming to theaters next September, where he stars opposite Johnny Depp and Joel Edgerton.
The star’s other credits include the Academy Award-winning “12 Years a Slave,” “War Horse,” “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,” “August: Osage County,” “Star Trek Into Darkness,” “The Fifth Estate,” and “Parade’s End.” Benedict will be returning to the stage this summer in Hamlet at the Barbican with Lyndsey Turner directing. His last stage performance in Danny Boyle’s Frankenstein opposite Jonny Lee Miller awarded him the Olivier.
With “Doctor Strange,” Cumberbatch is just the latest actor to join the bold Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, introducing new heroes and continuing the adventures of fan favorites across multiple films.

Having Anakin raised on the same planet as Luke makes practically no sense either.
Ben Kenobi said:
That's what your uncle told you. He didn't hold with your father's ideals. Thought he should have stayed here and not gotten involved.
That link is pure platinum. I wish I had that quote from Lucas handy where he reveals that Han was secretly married to a Wookiee but that they'd never reveal that in the films as audiences just weren't ready for that kind of thing.

Now I'm disappointed I never got to see the original title!

Nothing has changed.
And btw, each post shows the thread title as it was at the time of the post (except the OP, which always shows the current title).
That's what I thought but I couldn't figure out how they got Anti-matter out of that. Still can't actually. =P
Now I'm disappointed I never got to see the original title!

Tatooine only seems like the middle of nowhere to young Luke because he hasn't been anywhere else. There are probably Coruscant street urchins who dream of the sands of the Dune Sea and Tuskens riding Banthas beneath it's many moons and twin stars.

I tell ya Luke, the Rebellion is a long way from here. This planet? Big hunk of nothing...

I doubt if the Empire'd even fight to save the system.

The contention is that he is an existing character from the prequel films, and the revelation of his identity will shock viewers.
Presumably, his identity would be already known enough to viewers to shock them when it's revealed. So either it's a presumed-dead-but-actually-not PT character, or a presumed-irrelevant-but-actually-not PT character, but the only guarantee is that, if this is the case, disappointment will overwhelm any shock felt.
If that were the case then my two main suspects would be either Sifo-Dyas or Plagueis. If it were Plagueis they could be working up to explaining Shmi's unexplained pregnancy.
Though if they were either of those then there's the big question as to how Han and Leia's daughter ended up with such a character.
But I really hope that particular bit of info is just wrong in the end. I really don't want any PT in my ST.
