George Lucas vs Disney

I have to comment on this although who gives a shit what I think. All I know is that I've been a star wars nut since forever and Lucas, the empire he's built, I have some thing to say on that even though I'm nothing and mean shit to him and Disney.

But yeah, so what a strange business we're witnessing and so much bad vibes between Lucas and Disney now because he's not particularly fond of seeing his franchise taken into directions he never had planned.

I feel for him, not gonna be all kinda like not empathetic here... I feel him. If I created something, and I have, I've created 3 different comic book stories that I would like to some day get started. And someone ELSE was making that comic and taking it in their own direction. I'd be livid.

Honestly Lucas has YET to show us his true feelings on JJ's star wars. Let it out. Tell us ALL how much you wish you kept the damn license and made the movies yourself. LET IT THE FUCK OUT.

All I DO know is that if Lucas was making the new series it'd be just as muddled and boring as the prequels, so ultimately it's BETTER without him. And that's a shock. I don't understand how he made the OT what it was then gave us the lackluster prequels after the fact. It's a strange chemistry. Maybe Kasdan, Kurtz, and his Wife, plus the lightning in a bottle casting was what really made star wars work, not Lucas and Lucas alone.

He's got to step aside I have to say. Making a fool of himself now with all this "damn, wish I didn't sell the franchise" attitude he's putting on now.

But yeah, I can imagine. He was watching TFA and just thinking, not what I'd have done... not what we had in mind at the end of RotJ's production. Not enough CGI in this scene...

Now I'm not a TFA zealot, it's not ALL THAT. It's TFA. It's a definite long overdue return to the OT spirit and style for star wars. It's so hard, yunno for me. It's an emotional thing. I've been watching the prequels for YEARS and not ONCE did the millenium falcon, the one single most identifiable staple of star wars show up in those movies. It's like, Lucas went down the list of shit that has to happen and appear in every star wars movie, Threepio, R2, bad feeling, willhelm, etc. and left out the goddamn falcon cuz who cares. I CARE!!!

Here's an idea. The jedi get to some space port, find a hot shot pilot there named skywalker who owns the Millenium falcon and can help them get to their next destination and save the queen from the stuff or whatever..." Who'd have thunk Vader once owned the Millenium Falcon. He never mentions it, yeah but probably because he doesn't want to remember it, I dunno... but he built threepio, and had ownership of R2 yet NEVER mentions either so it wouldn't be too far fetched. Now that I think about it, the PT style of making the star wars universe tiny really SUCKED. No, Vader didn't own the MF, but still it'd have been interesting to see someone bring the ship into the series so there's some kind of continuity and of course it's feels more organically star wars. I haven't seen the falcon in a star wars movies for a LONG time, A LOOOOOOOONG TIME. How fucked up is that ladies and gents...

Force Awakens makes a billion dollars

Just finished seeing the movie a 3rd time. I mean I'm a star wars fan. I have to do what I have to do, that's all that needs to be said. I want to finish it off and see it in IMAX next and then it is done.

I got to say the pressure is ON now for Phil and Chris. The han Solo spinoff IS NOT the lego movie. These guys are playing with the potential to earn billions of dollars for Lucasfilm. This is big league stuff.

If they get me on board, I'll do whatever I got to do to provide for them, for the wonderful children who will watch the movie, for the fans who love the franchise. I swear it to GOD.

I just need to lose this weight, damn, harder to lose than I first thought.

Got to somehow talk to Billy Dee, get his thoughts on how I should approach playing his character. He's quoted as saying he always plays characters larger than life as an actor. What that means I'm not sure... Be good to get his thoughts on it before cameras roll.

I just get the feeling now that this game Lucasfilm is playing at is a MAJOR one. I knew Force Awakens would do well, but it's on track to destroy every record and top all the charts like no body's business. I'm wowed by that and bravo. Even though I've seen the movie like 3 times, I still had a blast with it and just found new stuff to look for and take in. Like this viewing I really liked the part at the end where Leia tells Rey "may the force be with you." That's a great scene because it shows Leia appreciating her Jedi heritage for the first time and acknowledging her connection to it. I like the transformation of Rey's character in the end. When she becomes a Jedi, Ridley totally pulls a Hamill and begins acting more like a Jedi, all serious and more spiritual. That's something I never noticed but JJ must have told her to embrace the Jedi way more in those scenes and she embodies a jedi a lot if you look closely. She's totally acting more like a jedi at the end of the movie. Well done there the way she changes and grows throughout the movie.

I kinda do and kinda don't want Finn to return. His Arc in the film is truly a masterpiece if in the end he does die from his injuries. Most likely in the next film he will be broken mentally, physically, just a different person from the trauma he experienced. Or dead. I'd like that. If he does die and basically shows the power of the common man's spirit to act in the face of overwhelming odds. His story although rough around the edges and needing some better writing, actually would be one of the better ones if he dies to save rey and pushes her to embrace her jedi heritage. Notice how it's because he took the saber with him that she even had one to use at the end battle. Ah ha, it's a bit of a underlining subtext there. Finn's responsible for rey accepting her destiny.

And now we have to wait for the next movie to make sense of the mysterious return of the Sith in this film. It's just like that's the biggest flaw although it's not really one. At the end of Empire, you simply have no idea what happens next and have to wait to get all the answers to your questions. And here we stand waiting for Return of the Jedi, like really, the second return of the Jedi.

One thing I was thinking about as I was on the way home was, why did Luke abandon the republic and his own sister. This is totally NOT him. Luke walked into the clutches of Vader and the Emperor in RotJ and has always been a fierce combatant and willing Jedi. He says he'll "never" turn to the dark side. Fine, we are all clear on Luke being a true, shining, unmovable, heroic figure. Suddenly he's said "f-this" and decided to go to some nice quiet little hide away instead of getting involved with the efforts to rebuild the jedi and destroy the remaining Empire.

One major problem I have with TFA is that it really nullifies the ending of RotJ. Mind you, yes, they got 30 years of peace because of that ending. But apparently it didn't REALLY make the serious giant mega dent in the Dark Side and wipe out the sith. I have to say, just up and like nothing, the Sith is Back after the death of the emperor, they got to make sense out of that stuff. They really do...

We've heard nothing and seen nO One out there as big and as bad as the Emperor. I think what Kasdan's doing is going by his own notes from when he was writing empire and RotJ. There was no rule of two in his mind back then. The Sith had various sectors all over the galaxy, not just the Emperor and Vader alone. We just never saw the other members of the dark side. Now we are seeing them. The Emperor was the head, but he had others under his control besides Vader. I'm guessing Snoke is nothing more than an apprentice of Palpatine that we never saw until now and the rule of two is going to be eliminated from here forward. Most likely. I mean the rule of two was a prequel rule. These new movies are said to be following from what the OT brought forth and not including the PT's details and new info at all. It's far fetched.

Lots of speculation swirling online now about Snoke. Is he a hologram, is he a force ghost? Look at it this way. Kylo Ren is not sane. He sits talking to a crusty old burnt helmet of darth vader. He's always on a short fuse and ready to explode with rage. He's totally unstable and mentally not all together. Maybe, snoke's in his imagination. I'd like that. If there is no Snoke. Ben Solo IS Snoke. Kinda like that movie a beautiful mind where the main character finally realizes all the people bothering him are in his mind.

Problem is, that snoke talks to Hux too. So of course he's real. But if the re-imergence of the Sith was brought about by Ben and Ben alone because of his warped mentality that'd have been much better than simply having some giant mutant guy hanging out keeping the sith going after palpatine is destroyed... Maybe, Snoke manifests himself THROUGH Ben's force powers. I think that might be the answer. Ben created snoke and snoke exists as a parasite on Ben, nothing more. He's not real but Ben fractured mind created him and he has his own free will but he's linked to Ben. Oh man so much potential if they go down that road....

What color will Rey's lightsaber be?

I gotta go with purple or even pink. Would be nice to legitimize the purple blade in the series and not have it be this sore thumb that it is associated only with the prequels. We'll see of course, but she'd look better with purple. Lord knows, I don't understand why Lucas had Mace be the only jedi with purple. It was just strange that he's the only one with his own lightsaber color... but it's hard to argue with Sam Jackson. He wanted purple. Lucas bowed to his wishes didn't he...

Force Awakens makes movies FUN again?

Got to say it's a breath of fresh air what JJ's brought with Force Awakens. Every single scene besides the more serious stuff has jokes and gags in it. I liked that about the movie. You can just sit and fucking not give a shit about the story if you want to, you'll just enjoy the jokes. That's where I come from, every movie in the 90s was half comedy or in Burton's Case, half weird as hell.

I got a burton Del Toro vibe from the movie. At some point, yeah Guierllmo Del Toro was slated to direct it and I can imagine it'd have been a fucking totally different movie but I think some of his touches remained. I just got some of his essence and humor in scenes. Maybe JJ took his ideas for it.

But yeah I hope we get more movies like TFA and less of the constant depressing, fuck this terrible world, movies.

TFA's like a bag of gummie bears, it took me back to that feeling as a kid watching disney movies all day. That's my childhood, I mean. I'd watch power rangers the movie all day. Watch ninja turtles, ghostbusters, and of course Star Wars totally owned my ass. It was like living a dream, cinema back then. Like when Jurassic Park came out. It was like this giant beautiful amusement park of a movie. Like full on spielberg in his prime, just making a movie that's for FUN and not much more... Don't make em like that anymore, not much.

Makes me wish like a lot of us are wishing now that we didn't get 9 years of Lucas dicking around and fucking up star wars. Why he didn't hand the reigns over to spieberg or some one who was actually a good director, fuck...

Really, I mean I watched TPM and yeah was kinda thinking something went wrong. We go from the OT which had the characters bickering and making quips every second, to the PT which is a lot more dilluted version of everything we once had in a star wars film. Little did I know as a kid that that was where the PT was heading, boredom, lackluster, and ultimately inhuman. The characters and humans were NOT what Lucas cared about in those movies. Can I create this in CGI, can I have the emperor do a backflip off of his table and shit.

Thank GOD we're done with that. All I have to say. Bring Star Wars back to where it came from, that's all that needed to be done with the PT. I don't need to know if Anakin and Obiwan can swing around lava pools and all this bullshit.

No Lava or flips or any of that bullshit in episode 8 please. Just no...

The return of Luke Skywalker...

I don't know what that means now. We shall indeed see. It's neither been an inevitability nor impossibility. Hamill has been hanging around for years teasing Luke's return in various ways. Now he's doing it, finally bringing Skywalker back from the shadows into the modern world and it is glorious.

I don't know... I sat and contemplated it as a kid, at the mall, what would it be like if Luke was with us again and not this Hayden guy or these new much lesser characters. What if we actually got to see Luke in another star wars movie.

I like TFA on its own merits and quite enjoyed the new characters and their lives and stuff. Here we stand though, about to be blasted with full on Luke Skywalker star wars movie, no more teasing. What will it be, lord knows. But I can gurantee it'll blow TFA off the earth, the sequel they're coming up with.

Kylo vs Luke Skywalker... It's going to be bombad.

Force Awakens thoughts.... spoilers ahoy

It's better than any of the prequels by miles. It's NOT as good as ANH or ESB or ROTJ.

It's a mixed bag. I abhor the stuff regarding the Death Star 3. LOVE everything else about the movie.

Unclear of the fate of the Finn Character.

So many many many questions about Kylo Ren that will nag the shit out of you after you see this. Why did he turn to the dark side? Ya serious? He wants to bring Vader back and honor his Grandfather? Why doesn't ghost Anakin tell him Vader was a mistake he made and not someone to look up to. I'm lost on his motivation and would prefer he not be linked to Vader.

This is basically Part 1 of one giant film that we got going here. Like many have said, this is NOT a stand alone self contained movie.

No return of Boba Fett, wow... All the shit about there being too much fanservice is bullshit. It's all winks and nods, nothing more. Barely a blatant in your face thing going on here.

Phasma is truly NOTHING in this movie. Might as well have been some no-name general like in every star wars movie. Should have mandated that she go toe to toe with Finn or Solo or some shit. Mind you, I think she'll be in the future movies. But her character is truly pointless.

Well, it's a fun movie, GENIUS moments mixed with Star Wars Rebels episode, very light on fleshing out the characters though. You won't get that, but at least it has a main character that we're focusing on instead of Lucas' prequel style where you don't know who's the focus. We have an established group of bad guys now although it's very unclear who the hell they are and what they want to accomplish. We know Palpatine was seeking the secret to immortality. What the fuck is these guy's ambition in life?

Solid 7/10.

Had an idea. Let's do BATMAN 3!!!

I mean I'm just like, thinking about how the star wars saga's going to go down after the dust settles and we have a total of 9 films in it of varying degrees of quality.

I personally will NOT include the prequels alongside the new saga.

I LOVED the IDEA of what a prequel trilogy might have been, but ultimately what we got fell far short of what it was supposed to be. Could have easily been better films. Didn't have to surpass the original trilogy but didn't have to insult us with its ridiculousness either.

You may like the prequels and say well they're not THAAAAAT bad, just suck it up and deal with them, nothing you can do about it.

Oh really? Do you take batman forever and batman and robin and put them alongside burton's two classic batmans and just suck them up??? Superman 3 and 4, to some extent returns? The dark Knight rises and its fubaring of the The dark knight trilogy?

I'd be down for a Tim Burton Directed Batman 3, now that the trend is coming along to actually finish old movie series properly in the wake of far lesser additions.

It's because of the prequels that this new trilogy is born, sadly. If the prequel trilogy had been an amazing resounding quality return for star wars, we'd have no thoughts of a last and final trilogy. But unfortunately we have 3 big honking stains on an otherwise masterfully crafted set of films, and so it's been decided, there needs to be a full and final "better" conclusion to the series now.

And of course make assloads of money. But yeah, I think Keaton returning as batman would actually be similarly welcomed... Everyone wanted it, but we got batman forever instead, which was the appetizer for Batman and Robin.

I say we do it. It'll make money from not only new batman fans but the original 89 lovers. It'd be like Alien 3 retcon that Blonkamp is working on. Oh my GOD would I die to see Tim Buron make HIS batman 3... But alas, Keaton really is goddamn old as fuck now. Thankfully being old won't make much difference for beatlejuice 2, but it'll be tough to sell him as Batman again... Thing is, that as much as we've moved on from his batman, he's still the best one... Makes sense to my dumb ass to put him back in the cowel and finish his story properlly. They worked so hard on those first movies only to fucking toss em out. Yeah they're dated as fuck now and batman killing left and right won't fly anymore... no way...

But still, when you make 3 batman movies and the only thing good in them was the joker who was aping burton's style for his whole performance, well it's obvious which films are superior.

making sense of the first order's existence

I'll know what the hell they're all about tomorrow, so no need to delve into it really, but whatever.

So apparently everything they did in RotJ meant shit. The empire, the sith, the whole thing is still in full effect after the fact.

That's one of the main complaints about TFA, it kinda retroactively down plays the victory on Endor at the end of RotJ.

If they fought so hard, worked so hard, sacrificed so much, for NOTHING, kinda makes the whole of RotJ like a minor event that didn't do much.

The thing that irks me and I hate that it does is that, YES the defeat of the emperor SHOULD mean the end of the Sith. It's not like they're as wide spread and all over the galaxy in hiding like the jedi.

This new concept that the Sith is just hanging out in different places no matter what you do to them is really a bad idea that Disney has just pulled out of their ass now to keep star wars going despite the rebels winning in RotJ.

The thing is RotJ TRULY is a tough film to sequel to. The EU has been trying for decades to come up with a new story, and failed every single time.

In fact from what I've read about the plot of Force Awakens, it ultimately can't figure out the next logical step after RotJ either. It's a good movie, but not one that explains itself well enough to make sense!

EU is the same. Not much in the EU ever made sense because RotJ WORKS. It really truly was designed to be the final star wars story. There really is not much to for Luke or han or Leia to struggle against after that battle and that movie. YES they have to go after the remaining Empire and wipe them out. But that's IT!!! The Emperor truly was the biggest worst threat to the heros. With him gone, and Vader. One could argue if Vader had survived RotJ, we'd have so much more shit to deal with. But no, he dies.

I was watching RotJ recently and thought ok, MAYBE while the emperor was shooting Luke with lightning he transfered some of his dark energy into Luke and MAYBE it finally voldemorts itself into Luke's mind and takes over his body or some shit...

Essentially, Star Wars is becoming harry potter now. They killed Voldemort at least fucking fifty times in those movies and only in the last two films did they figure out why he keeps coming back. He knows how to create duplicates of himself. Simple but effect way of returning a villain to the series after he gets killed.

In Star Wars it's never said, never made clear, never a thought that the emperor can voldemort himself.

So he's fucking dead, he's gone.

Why are the heros afraid of anything, even Kylo Ren, in the new movies. Ultimately even IF a new jedi apprentice of Skywalker goes to the dark side, he's fucking luke skywalker. He'll crush him like an ant.

This new star wars trilogy better make some damn sense of itself, all I have to say. I'm on its side, but it's asking me personally as a fan to stretch myself waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much here.

Of course, TFA is online now....

Not going to say where, but you CAN see the movie for free on the internet. I should have thought about it, what if one of the people who saw the movie yesterday just videoed it with their cells and uploaded it to facebook. Well, that's exactly what someone has been doing, at least they took pictures of tons of spoilers and have released them on facebook today.

WOW, what a world now, no movie is sacred.

I now know everything that happens practically within just a few minutes of casually browsing facebook. Thanks...

Still hope to enjoy the film, and not going to make the same mistake with episode 8 and 9 but damn, FUCK the internet, HARD.

People love Force Awakens

They better love that shit. It's going to be the first step in what will be a very big revival for star wars in cinemas. It doesn't need to be godfather, just be enough to start the ball rolling, we'll see on friday. Going to dress up as Marty Mcfly and go see it. Yep, I'm a weird fuck, that's all you need to know about me...

As for the complaints that it's fan service. Did you not see the prequels? Fan Service Paloozaaa in those bitches!!! Of course it's fan service, it's a movie directed by a fanboy. If you expected it to feel like a movie directed by someone who's never gave a shit about star wars after learning of JJ's involvement, you are an idiot.

I can't wait to see this, my life has led to this moment I think. I may have had to slog through the prequels to get here and I'm older, 29 now, but I'm still me more or less. I'm still just a dude sitting at his computer looking up star wars shit.

When I was 11 I went and got a little star wars fact book. Had all the jedi in it. I took a SHIT while reading my star wars TV Guide... I remember that day, the shit and the shit I read in that tv guide...

Star Wars is my life. I feel no shame in admitting my unbridled, unrestricted love for the series. It's a masterpiece.

These new movies MUST be masterpieces. There is no FAIL equation here.

They MUST be the BEST movies ever made.

Life is good...

I just got the email for my new job as CCA for the post office. Despite the drama that they wanted to start with me at my old position, it matters not, I will fullfill my duties as CCA and earn a substantial amount of nonsensical levels of money nonetheless and forge forward with my intentions of just investing in stocks and going after a pilots license.

I must say, what a strange world this is. So very confusing to me... But now of all times, when our nation sits on the brink of "more" war with some radical islamic muslim whoevers, we're getting star wars, we're getting samurai jack, everything that made my childhood tolerable seems to be returning.

And if Lucasfilm wants it, I'm ready to do Lando for them. Got to get it done soon, I will age and grow old at some point, do it now or never.

The thing that annoys me is how like, people are such assholes in this world. What's up with that shit... You can't just chill, which is my akunamatata kinda thing. I'm a don't give a fuck kinda guy. You can do a lot of things to me, I'll not give a shit honestly. But the way some dudes want to push you and force you to go crazy, makes no sense to me. Not that I won't pull out a gun and end them, hell no, I'll kill you if that's what you want. But I see no point in it is all. I want to get laid, fuck 10 bitches, enjoy the taste of heaven that is right before our eyes every waking day. You want to start shit...

I mean I used to go to work at the post office, the fucking post office and there were bitches there wearing things and one girl was hot as shit latina and had nice titties. Why everybody going crazy and starting shit, I don't get it. I'm swimming in ass every day. All I need to do is figure out how to get my dick in it and I'm good.

We'll fuckin see brutha...

Daniel Logan confirms his interest in Going up against Solo

Come on Disney, let's do it. I'd love it if it was ME, Dan, and Ingruber going at it in the Han Solo Spinoff. I'd be down for that....

I'll fight for Dan's involvement. He LOVES Star Wars, that's why he should be involved with future projects. It's not about money to him, in fact I think he's got plenty. But the man truly is the biggest and best star wars fan in the universe. To have him on board with the Han Solo Spinoff will be a very wise decision.

Battlefront Addendum

Just more thoughts on this typical battlefront game. I will max out my stats and such and hopefully the new DLC fixes what is a very messy game, fun as hell but messy. Thankfully since we're in the online gaming era, no developer ever truly has to finish a game, just release it and patch the fuck out of it. My GTA 5 game has NO resemblance at all to the game I bought anymore, which is kinda weird but that's the name of the game these days. Buy a game at the store, then download the rest of it later!!!

Whole new world. I come from the days when you went to blockbuster and rented a game for your system and if it was shitty you got fucked, if it was great, the dev team gave a damn and created a wonderful game. Kinda sad that the companies are getting away with releasing half finished games these days since everyone who buys it can just download the updated finished stuff later, but I won't complain if EA fixes this game and makes it much better than it is right now which is basically Battlefield for KIDS!!!!!

What do I want in Battlefront 2 the inevitable better sequel? Just do everything battlefield is doing, fuck it. That's what Disney wanted, why they wanted DICE to make it, cuz battlefield really is the BEST online war game to date. They wanted DICE to just do that but with star wars shit. But no DICE had to have some kind of bravado and try to make some new type of battlefront which just ultimately feels like a crazy mashup of battlefield and the old battlefronts. The game has NO identity of its own. It's a clone of 2 better franchises put together.

They can fix this thing... Han Solo, got to talk about him. What a horrible Hero he is. I can't begin to make sense of the choices they made regarding his abilities. At least in the old battlefront they made the regular non-force-powered heros have a few tech devices to aid them, detonators and such so they can potentially stand toe to toe with a jedi, but even then playing as Han or Leia in hero battle was damn near impossible against jedi who had  a billion powers.

Same here and that's trully awful. This game is well aware of how horrible and shitty the old hero system was in battlefront 2 yet they make the same mistakes. Playing as HAN is INSTANT death for you in hero vs villains or anything. He's horrible and has NOTHING to save him in the battlefield against superior opponents. Only shit he has is the super powered hadouken gun shot thing that he's got, and it's just hard to aim that shit. If that was an ON Call shot not a power up shot, done, good shit.

But no. His little line backer rush power is just stupid as shit. It's a fucking tough power to use and when you're done using it, surprise you're right where your enemy wants you to be and you get hacked to shit.

Ultimately they should have given Han and Leia a handicap in the game since they're going up against much tougher heros, simple as that. Make their health double in the next update and you'll get praise from me DICE. Just look at the statistics and they won't lie. Hero VS Villains most of the time the villains win because they have actual good fucking powers. It's that simple. I'm always surprised when we win as the heros in that game mode, because it's just an unfair match, simple truth.

What else can they fix in this very very mixed bag of a doritoes game they made??? Heh, so much I can't even begin to name them all.

Health goes down way too fast. It's like weird. You go into a room with a probe droid, it shoots you and nearly kills you, but you escape, then you get shot from behind by some guy. I don't know if they'll give a shit since that's a shooter for you, the name of the game is avoid getting shot of course, but to me it seems like I'm made of tin foil in this game, I get shot just maybe 2 or 3 times and I'm dead.

I hope we get better more interesting new skins for the troops and heads etc. Wow what a bare bones selection they've created. I'd kill for a facial mapping and image capture feature like they do in some sports games. Playing as myself would be sweet.

What else, maybe make the ATST a vehicle accessble to both rebels and imperials in an update. That was cool in BF2, didn't matter, anybody could drive anybody's ships. As it is now. It's very lame that I play as the rebels in any match and I have to deal with a few fucking ATST's hanging out and rebels have SHIT to defend themselves with against those things. Who came up with that shit? That was a serious complaint in the beta that the rebels don't have an ATST equivalent in their arsenal so they're royally fucked in battle against a few of those. So true. Why did they not fix that issue?

Generally just fix a lot of the minor annoying things a bout the game. Getting Killed right off the bat like in one of my videos on youtube. If we didn't spawn so close to each other at the start, that wouldn't have happened. In fact, a lot of the spawn locations DICE has chosen are shitty and put you right next to the action so you get shot before you can figure out where the hell you are.

It's a super strange mess of a battlefront game and I'll personally move on to Metal Gear if DICE doesn't update and balance out the game's flaws a little more...

Title for Episode 0

STAR WARS

That's it... I figured it out just now. Just call the Super Duper Prequel Star Wars, no titles, just pure original star wars like 4 was originally suppose to be.

I wonder if my dumbass submits this idea to Mark Hamill, it'll get heard by Lucasfilm. I'm really wanting them to make a super cheap super retro old star wars movie to precede the prequels and attempt to make those movies not seem like some ambling mess that they ended up being.

I'm serious here and this is coming from someone who paid to see episode 1, 2, 3 each one for 9 years of his life, so they have to at least kinda give a crap about what I think here. I've been all over those movies inside outside upside down afterall.

I know why they don't work in the end. I know what can possibly be done to repair the damage. Probably actually start the series off nice and with a good solid preamble before we get into the gobbly gook of the prequels. Sure nothing will save those film in terms of the ridiculous fx on display, but just the basic stuff like not explaining the force can be handled, maybe explain the force ghost thing a little, I don't know... Anything's possible. Sadly and most obvious to me now, Lucas Sold Star Wars not necessarily because he didn't want to deal with more fan backlash, but because he knew he screwed star wars up termendously with the videogames he made instead of real movies.

But it's not over yet. We can fix this thing, just need to actually make a good movie with better casting and the fun factor star wars always embodied. That's what the prequels missed, the FUN, omg, so much talk, no fun, no OMG we have space ships and lightsabers and powers, attitude, everybody's life is HAAARRRD in the prequels. Should have been whole scenes of just Anakin playing with tech he's designed since that's part of his character... like in lost in space. They made that movie more like star wars than any of the prequels and to this day it stands superior. I mean wow how's that even happen? Glad I lived long enough to see that movie come along so I know the prequels didn't cut it.

star wars ideas

I had a dream last night that I haven't had in decades, decades, but it was born I think from the now approaching release of Star Wars 7...

It's a dream about my weird idea I had as a kid for a star wars videogame. It was going to be like a really gritty realistic space ship battle game with cut scenes on the ships and it takes place during some point in the star wars story line.

I finally came up for a name for it: Mid Towers Revenge...

I know how awkward that sounds, but I just wanted something that sounded like a shitty 80s action game title, so there ya go.

It's basically a lot like the stuff you see in anime space operas like gundam or that galaxy something one. But my shit would be on a much much much more epic scope than that, ridiculous levels of epic like we've never seen before. It'd create such an austhetic of trippy 80s scifi to it, and feel so star wars. Like dru struzian's art come to life.

Besides that I came up with a new movie idea that Lucasfilm might take into account. Let's do Episode 0!!! I say we go waaaaaaaaaaay the fuck back and explore YODA's origin or something similar.

The shitty thing about the prequels is that so much stuff is left un explained. The OT never treated us so poorly. They introduced ideas and surprise explained what they were to us. So might as well create a movie that actually lays the ground base for the whole star wars saga so that we're just not caught with out pants down watching episode 1.


Thoughts on Lando as usual

I mean I don't know if I'll get the part, I just don't... But I swear to heaven that if I do, I will not let Kasdan down or Phil or Chris. I will get in the best shape of my fucking life. Do whatever it takes to get it done properly.

I feel like it's just all supposed to go down like this... I've been a weirdo all of my life. I drew cartoon characters during class. I fell in love with Pee Wee's Big adventure as a kid. Then I got into home alone, everything that was weird and awesome in the 90s I was into it, power rangers etc. Why did I like this stuff? I just did, it felt RIGHT.

I'm just a guy who played with toys and I still do. I want to graduate to the level of having felt boobs etc. But I still love toys, nothing wrong with that.

But yeah it's a culture, nerd fanboy culture and I'm very much a part of it having been living that life since day ONE. I mean these new star wars movies are going to not only kill the box office, but be a huge nostalgia trip for everybody no doubt of that.

And if they want a person on board with them who CARES and isn't just there to make money, they got to go with me, just saying...

People spoiling TFA online

Yep it's going on. New toys released featuring a spoiler that reeeeeaaally should be kept secret. Wow what's wrong with the toy makers that they have to spoil the movie on the BOX...

Shit. I think TFA will be very divisive but a good solid start for the new star wars trilogy.... Just the tv spot where poe dameron quotes Han solo for the second time is really awful. I hope it makes sense in the film. JJ is NOT stupid enough to allow that, it has to have a purpose or something.

We'll see. My life is all about this movie. And if I've wasted my life on this like I did on the prequels that's really sad...

I know I can't possibly hope star wars fans online will not spoil the film, that's retarded as shit, you bet your ass the second this film drops, we'll know the entire plot sooner than a fart fills the air, so forget it and just shut down the web till you see the movie, all I have to say to yall.

So leia won't be a jedi in the new movies

JJ Abrams basically confirmed this on IGN, kinda a spoiler imo, should have kept that to himself.

Well that sucks. One thing I was looking forward to was seeing Leia actually use the force. She is exactly as powerful as Luke Skywalker, to not take advantage of that makes no sense at all.

Weird decision but he says it was Leia's. She simply decided not to become a jedi. I can see that I guess. I KNOW Leia. She's more interested in her political causes than spending time training with a light saber, makes sense but would it have been something to see Leia doing some jedi shit in our life time... dissapppooiiiinnnttteeddd!!!!!

Mark Hamill has liked 2 of my tweets to him

I couldn't be more overwhelmed... he's GOD to me.  Such an amazing career he's had, and a living legend on top of it. I don't deserve his acknowledgement in the least, but he's the most normal down to earth actor there is for all his success.

Motivates me to get off my ass and do what he did which was fight and claw his way to fame and glory truth be told.

I may WANT to play Lando, but ultimately it won't be so simple as showing off lando cosplay on the internet. I have to go to Lucasfilm and kick somebody's ass or something. It's going to be a fight, and I gotta be willing to go to town on this thing...

Such a long life I've had, my body is falling apart now, getting old and shit, not as young as I used to be brother...

But I got to do this shit, AND get laid, that too, those two things...

gonna be working big bucks at the post office now

It's a relief that's for sure. I mean financial security is the basis for everything going forward and progressing now that I think about it. I will indeed be pulling down a hefty salary at the post office in the coming weeks and that's a nice feeling. I'm going to spend out the ass and not give  a damn cuz I've got the money, why not...

So Phil Lamarr himself has basically made it clear to everyone that he's working on the new Samurai Jack season.

I sit here just in awe. I mean I honestly told myself to let it go and move on from samurai Jack a show I loved to death when it aired.

It was a painful divorce, and I'm sure it was for Phil too. So much effort into a show and then POOF it's never going to finish. Such bullshit. I'm so happy for Gendy and congrats to Cartoon Network for knowing a quality program when they see it. Now they're using their goddamn heads...

I'll be 31 when they start shooting the Han Solo movie

Fuck... all I got to say. Was hoping it would be shot sooner so I can still pass myself off as in my 20s.

I mean spare no expense, I WILL slim down to my bones if I have to to look spot on like young billy dee.

So no big deal. Thing is that yeah, never in my wildest imagination did I think I'd reach 30 or even that I'd potentially portray Lando Calrissian in a star wars movie...

Just got to slim down. I'm WAY overweight and need to drop all this fat, that's all.

It's going to be great though. I can't wait to audition for the part. Problem is that I have NO ties to hollywood. Only thing is that yeah Lucasfilm is VERY aware I'm interested in stepping on board with them... DUH I mean, having a fuck ton of money doesn't hurt does it... But more importantly I want to do the part the way I KNOW it should be done since I'm like this super star wars nerd since childhood.

I HAVE TO DO THIS....


Han Solo casting underway

I'm trying to see if I can get in contact with the casting director for the Lando Role.

Amazing world we live in now. I mean the net has its bad side but the good thing about it is that yeah, you hear about stuff much much much quicker than in the past. Speedy info. So they're doggedly pursuing a Han Solo for the Stand Alone movie. I mean hell, 2000+ actors they're looking at. Sad to say Anthony Ingruber has a mountain to climb, that man... I don't envy his position, but just believe in it enough and it'll happen I'm sure...

Wakes my dumb ass up that's for sure. I don't mean SHIT to Lucasfilm in the end, now that I think about it. The Lando role will be just as wide spread just as impossible to get since he's going to be the second lead actor in the movie. I'm thoroughly fucked. Feeling like giving up on it to be honest.

But NOOOOOOOOOOO I'm The ONLY person on this fucking planet who should be considered for that role... I will not stop, not be held back, not be moved. I will get this part, or there's no justice in this world, none at all.

Gendy Tartakovsky SHOULD have directed one of these new Star Wars movies

Something I was thinking about while taking a shower yesterday. I mean JJ Abrams basically is Gendy's cousin so it's all good but yeah. When  you REALLY think about it, Gendy DESERVED for having created the only good star wars thing associated with the prequels to have a shot or even consideration for the star wars films since that's what he's doing now making movies. Still, they went with Abrams and Johnson and whoever's going to make Episode 9 because they're film makers not animators like Gendy.

Just wanted to be one of the few people in this world who took some recognition of the man's brilliance and great contribution to star wars over the years. The clone wars shorts were BETTER than all of the prequels. And I have no shred of doubt left in me that Force Awakens will stomp all over the prequels and make them look like the star wars EU comics that they truly are and nothing more.

Thank you Lucas for having the BALLS to give up star wars. It's in better hands now. You have to admit you can't do this all by yourself man... it's a team effort.
