I haven't seen the movie yet, and unfortunately I probably won't for a while; I don't generally see things in theaters if I can help it (I don't even like theaters). But I will give this movie a look when I get a chance sometime after it's on DVD or whatever. As I think I said before, I'm cautiously optimistic, not that hyped but also not feeling negative about it, just sorta, "hmm, wonder if that's any good?".

 

At the very least it sounds like it'd be some goofy fun, hopefully not as dark or grim-toned as it's recent counterparts in the franchise (I really enjoyed TFA and TLJ, but they are easily as depressing as ROTS, and I'm still skipping Rogue One altogether).

 

But I must know one thing, so spoil away in a spoiler block if the answer is yes: is Vuffi Raa in it? (I'm assuming not XD) If the answer is a literal and true yes, I might reconsider not seeing it in the theater...

 



starring Anthony Daniels.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Anthony Daniels would play C3PO for like, random birthday parties if people could get in touch with him to ask. Has he ever turned down the part? Forget the Holiday Special that they roped everybody into- he did a whole extra one, an in-character music/play album called Christmas in the Stars! Then there's the Droids cartoon, or Monopoly Star Wars for PC, or a slew of other videogames, or the Clone Wars CGI show (did they get anybody else, except maybe Ahmed Best, to reprise roles for that? They certainly didn't get Ewan McGregor), or underwear commercials, or... just look at his IMDB page and count the C3POs and rest assured they must've missed even more times he did it that don't quite count or got forgotten altogether.

Well dang, that does sound intriguing!

 

They really seem to be going for hybrids/expys of EU ideas with this new canon; the exact events of the EU are all out the window, but the concepts are starting to get more engrained in movies than they ever were back in the Prequel days (Coruscant being introduced in Episode I is a weird edge case, since I think Timothy Zahn based it off unused Return of the Jedi story notes). I mean, Kylo Ren is kind of like a take-off on Darth Cadeus, too, and more happily, Thrawn's existence is 100% canon now. (Makes me wonder if they're planning anything related to Mara Jade; didn't Obi-Wan have some sort of tragic romance in the Clone Wars show? I could see them revealing something a little like that with Luke somewhere in those unseen decades, at this point.)

 

I don't suppose that "When's the sequel" thing you mentioned seems like them angling for a Lando movie in the future?

There have been hints that such a thing is in the works.
