My first thought was "so the lead is a young, plucky, independent female? bit of a theme"<br><br>
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></blockquote>

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>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>

<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> -
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="Tim" data-cid="570460" data-time="1460072693"><p>Yep. I think that they are doing main story sequels every two or three years, with side story movies in the other years. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$</p></blockquote>

$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!

<p>RS, we're all lesbian, in our own way. </p>

Yes, but you don't only like pussy, you also want to have one

<p>Does that mean "sympathy" in some foreign language ?</p> -
<p>Back on point after I was rudely and unnecessary slandered as being Toad's bumboy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>IIRC you yourself had a rant about how shit womens cricket is. Now female leads in SW aren't shit. Some are great. But the males are just better. Rey isn't a farking patch on Luke or Han or Obi or Anniken/Vader or Yoda or even Lando. Where are they now? Han is dead, Luke is a fat shit, Obi and Yoda are ghosts, Anniken/Vader was fried and Lando appears to have gone awol. Poe and Finn are cool, but are just sidekicks and the less said about Emo Renn the better.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So yeah, considering the vast majority of fans are men or boys, is it really that strange or misogynistic to want an awesome male lead in at least one of these new films?</p> -

<p>Sorry, I was interrupted by Dave Pocock's lesbian tea lady.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tarkin must have had some serious power. Just the way he spoke to Vader seemed unthinkable in later films. Apparently there is a novel providing his back story. Not sure if its cannon or not. I think Dooku was a character who was seriously underdeveloped. IMHO Episode 1 should have farked off all that trade bullshit and started with a separatist movement led by Dooku.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sir Alec pisses me off. I absolutely love him as an actor, but he's such a hypocrite. He loved the money and freedom SW gave him, but had no problem slagging off the very people who made him all that money.</p>
