Star Wars VII ****contains spoilers****
-
Yeah, it seemed like he was the boss of Vader in E4. Unlike Alec Guinness, Peter Cushing loved Star Wars and was disappointed to get killed off.

<p>My first thought was "so the lead is a young, plucky, independent female? bit of a theme"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But, at the risk of having Baron and his sidekick RS jump all over me, if it's a cool, well developed character, why does it matter if it's a chick or a guy? I though Rey was fucking great. </p> -
<p>It's a prequel to star wars i think? sorry, Ep 4: A New Hope. </p>

<p>Rey was a stupid kid with all the character depth of R2D2. Indeed, she and the other young lead seemed to be modelled on the comic relief roles of R2D2 and C3PO. That's fine for a kids movie, but it makes for a pretty shitty one for adults. </p>

<p>3/10. Nostalgia driven, derivative garbage.</p> -

<p>I know I can get lost on all the fan literature but haven't we already had that? The one with the Jaja Binks?</p> -

Is your new vagina still sore Caitlyn? -
It's part of an Anthology series. There's another due to begin filming next year centering on a young Han Solo<br>
So this one, 'Rogue One ' is set before Episode IV (aka the original Star Wars)<br>
Kinda like a prequel, just not a shitty one that's full with Jar Jar and cute little Anni -

<p>I think him and Vader were equals, not sure if he was entirely his "boss" as such. When he orders him to release the officer from the force choke it seemed to be done with the due respect of a peer. Vader coulda made mince meat of him in a second but there's obviously the mutual respect thing happening there. Him and Christopher Lee were best mates in real life, if the prequels/sequels were switched I think a younger Dooku would have been an absolutely sensational bad guy, he is still my favourite Bond lead villain too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yeah Sir Alec seemed to despise Star Wars, kinda funny reading all the shit he said about it, didn't stop him returning for both sequels though !</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In terms of where it sits in the Star Wars "Canon" I think it's 3.9 as I said earlier, ie perhaps a year or two before "A New Hope" which is set 20 years after Revenge of the Sith. ) People with greater Nerd powers than me may correct me but I'm pretty certain the only confirmed character I saw was Mon Mothma.......</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another thing, Changing the "canon" is fine for Bond, Hannibal ( Tv series ), Batman, Sherlock Holmes and whatever. I hope to fucken god no one ever does this with Star Wars.</p> -

$4B at the time sounded like a hell of a lot of money, now it's appearing like bargain of the century<br><br>
Wonder if Lucas is full of buyers regret? -

I ain't donated shit. But you've clearly donated your balls and manhood. However small and shrivelled that may have been. -
Sorry. It's just that with all his talk about tits and female beauty M4L makes it seem like he's a red blooded male. But he's not. He's a farking lesbian!
