The Star Wars Thread

.....how?

"I'm your father fella." Then Darth brouge kicks Luke's head off.

I mean, it's not impossible that Vader shows up in a Flashback or something, voiced by James Earl Jones or pretty much anyone doing a Vader impression. I just kind of doubt they'd bother to get Sheamus, who probably comes with a small price tag, when they could get some unknown and pay him way less.

What I'm trying to say is that everyone knows it should have been Kurrgan.

[Colly]

Just get Green Cross back, then he can spend even more years bitter they overdubbed his voice.

I thought that was a silly rumour that was first circulated a few months ago. I do like the fact that the story has been written by someone called Tom Baker, though. A Timelord discussing the possibility of a wrestler appearing in a Star Wars film might just be the most loaded nerd cultural mish-mash ever.

I mean I get that Vader is a white guy in a black suit. But that's a little too white.

Also. He's dead. And created. And spread out upon a forest moon. Near Endor

[apsham]

There's no way it would be anything other than a flashback though, so no worries about that I suppose.

Also - if I was famous and had the connections, I'd take a pocket full of acorns to pay Vader for a scene or two.

A few months back Sheamus was spending time off in a place near of where Episode VII was being film,so someone started that rumor.

[Colly]

Ireland?

[TCO]

If that's the case, Sheamus is totally going to be in Game of Thrones too!

[Skummy]

Yeah, it's pretty much that Sheamus was around the set, and I guess someone figured he's a big tall guy who could fit in the Vader costume. It's phenomenally unlikely.

[Colly]

Obviously.

He's playing Chewie.

[SeanDMan]

"What's that Chewie? It's a shameful thing?

Tatiana Maslany appears to be the front-runner for a lead role in one of the Star Wars spinoff films. I'm working through season 1 of Orphan Black, and she's fucking awesome in it so this is pretty rad news.

[Maxx]

How is Orphan Black?

[apsham]

It's called Annie and it's a remake.

[Kaney]

It's called Annie and it's a remake.

This post. This post.

Nevermind, I guess it's Felicity Jones instead. I WAS SO EXCITED. Can't they just cast them both? Give me a Star Wars movie with two female leads, dammit!

Also, Maxx, Orphan Black is pretty good.

Episode VIII comes out May 26th 2017. Rian Johnson is set to write and direct it.

Also, the spinoff is going to be called the Rogue One.

[TKz]

I'm pretty darn excited about all this news.

I don't see the complaints about the second film coming out so soon after. Worked alright for Lord of the Rings! I'm just excited we don't have to wait years and years for each film.
