    Looks like we might be getting an Obi Wan film in 2020. Not confirmed though

    How about that Boba Fett film? Now that would be epic. Is it Cannon that he's still alive or is that still a mystery?

    Not canon as far as I know, but easily changed. Seems like a no brainer to me, but have not seen anything about it since they canned it.

    Currently still being digested by the Sarlacc as far as canon goes.

    Fett would be a difficult one IMO. If you fill in part of his story pre ROTJ then you build him up even more and make the easy dispatch into the Sarlacc pit even more unbelievable. Resurrect him and you risk making up a story for the sake of it. Surely if he did survive he would have hunted down Luke/Han and confronted them and that option is a no go.

    Maybe he did and lost? Would like to see a movie with the guy who plays Bucky as young Luke finishing him off in a more fitting action scene.

    There was a great comic in which he was hunting down Luke shortly after ANH. He tracks Luke to Obis old hut. That would make a very good film.

    No point resurrecting him now for the new films. He's too old. Would be great to see the Mandalorians though. See this is what really pisses me off about the new films. The SW universe is vast and the CW provided even more scope for exploring it. Yet we've had a soft reboot and a really garbage film with shockingly bad new characters. R1 was a much better template for what they should be looking at.

    Boba Fett actually matched Luke albeit briefly when they were fighting but he was too caught up with him to realise Han was a threat.

    Pretty sure it is Canon that he is alive but probably scarred and fucked up.

    Wouldn't put it past him making an appearance in a couple of weeks. I'd also love to see more of the Bounty Hunters from ESB.

    According to canon he is 'currently declared dead' (in the Sarlacc pit). They are deliberately leaving options open.
    Canon has already fucked up one cool character (Darth Maul) and it took some time to slowly pull him back to respectability and finally have a final showdown with Obi Wan.
    As for Fett, I think that if he was ever to return it will be as an escape from the pit but his story will then intersect with the arc that was created by SW Rebels, possibly in animated form only.

    Had a quality one on one evening with my youngest so he requested we watch Rogue One and ANH back to back.

    Hats off to them for getting the continuity absolutely spot on, my boy did point out one massive issue though.....R1 gives us a great indication of just how absolutely fucken massive the Death Star is. ( Nerd Alert ) apparently each Star Destroyer is 1600 metres long ( he googled this ), they look like specs next to the Death Star ( 2016 technology vs 1977 obviously helps convey this ) so the Death Star circumference is probably a few hundred km.

    How come when the Falcon is sucked in with the Tractor Beam the Landing Bay, Prison area, Tractor Beam control etc seems to be walking distance and a couple of lift rides away from each other? Surely you'd have to fly a ship to get from one end to the other.

    Also in ANH Tarkin refers to testing the weapon when it's clear he did this a couple of times in R1....

    The battle over Scarif is probably the best space fight in any of the flicks overall, the assault on the Death Star later on looks a wee bit empty in comparison although I guess a lot of this can be explained by the rebels losing so many command ships at the end of R1.( and technology as well )

    Fucken awesome flicks the pair of them though.

    Oh good, its very important to define his sexuality...pansexual. Good to know ahead of time that the SJW brigade have their hands all over this one too.

    I got the impression him and Han were old mates and that he wanted to dust up Leia the moment he laid eyes on her.

    I'm glad someone has made me seen the errors of my ways.

    I hope they can let me know if threepio is gay or just 'British'

    They already hinted at that in Skyfall.

    I'm sure Roger Moore hinted at that in all his movies. 😉

    Isn't ESB your favourite SW film? That was Laurence Kasdan making that comment. He wrote Lando's character in the first place.
    BTW read the article, the words were put into his mouth.

    Trust you to defend it. And no, the comments were from his son Jonathan. Nice try though.
