Looking back at that picture, I got a chuckle. I know it is more symbolic than anything, but why is Peter Mayhew there? So he knows when to come in a say RAAAAAARRRWWWWWWWWW?

He really chewies up the scenery

Chewbacca is a character, Peter Mayhew plays him. I think it makes perfect sense for him to be there.

I'll also add that while Chewbacca the character may only have limited vocalizations, the actor must communicate his motivations, emotions, and reactions mostly with physical acting...while in a costume that is remarkably ill suited for it. That must be very difficult! Understanding his role in the movie and with the other actors would be very important.

I know all that, it was just a chuckle 9for only me, apparently), and it is just an initial script read-through, they aren't blocking scenes or anything like that.

Man, that costume. I bet that, given his age, he would give anything to have been cast as a human character.

Maybe they will Mo-Cap Chewie in the new one .

Hopefully something new, not Chewie.

Obviously Gollum - COZ DER IN DA SAME UNIVERSE!!!111!!!!!

JUst like ET Is a JEDI coz They put him in PHANTOM MEACE

Yes. as a joke. Calm down, nerds.

Lord Of The Rings and Back To The Future are in the same universe because Elijah Wood is in one scene in 2015.

Also - it's the MIDDLE film in the trilogy and it's set on EARTH.

Obviously same universe!!!!11!!!

Orbert · « **Reply #1901 on:** May 03, 2014, 07:55:47 AM »

Star Wars is in the same universe. It was just a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #1902 on:** May 03, 2014, 08:19:44 AM »

Correct me if i'm wrong but the Star Wars and Star Trek universe have never been closer than this before? Imagine the impact if Spock had a cameo in SW VII.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #1903 on:** May 03, 2014, 10:24:16 AM »

I'd hate it. Star Trek is future solar system. Star Wars is past distant system.

Plus I'm really not keen on SW as a whole.

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #1904 on:** May 03, 2014, 10:29:24 AM »

Of course it would never happen or I hope to Mangini it won't! Just a funny thought, that's all.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #1905 on:** May 03, 2014, 11:16:08 AM »

I'm hoping JJ is smart enough to know that both sides would be in uproar if they crossed over.

They should remain seperate entities.

Orbert · « **Reply #1906 on:** May 03, 2014, 05:20:39 PM »

Don't cross the streams!

It's fortunate that I'm a massive Star Wars fan, seeing as today is my birthday as well.

And I was born on November 7th.

Which is an anagram of 1701

I will probably watch one of the OT films today at some point.

faizoff · « **Reply #1911 on:** May 04, 2014, 09:26:41 AM »

I have the complete saga bluray set and thought about popping in the extra discs about the OT. Man that is the most frustrating menu system ever created. Whoever put the extra features together needs to watch the LOTR and Hobbit extended editions extras and learn from that.

The new commentaries for the set are pretty boring as well.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #1912 on:** May 04, 2014, 11:54:49 AM »

Saw this today :

" Anyone tried watching the films in the so-called Machete order ? "

Apparently you watch IV then 2 then 3 then V and then VI. Ignore 1 completely.

JayOctavarium · « **Reply #1913 on:** May 04, 2014, 11:56:14 AM »

The point being?

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #1914 on:** May 04, 2014, 12:01:16 PM »

Had to of course google that so yea....

JayOctavarium · « **Reply #1915 on:** May 04, 2014, 12:24:06 PM »

That makes perfect sense... Even though I really don't like the idea of leaving Phantom Menace out of the picture.

Accelerando · « **Reply #1916 on:** May 04, 2014, 02:27:53 PM »

My Star Wars blu-rays and DVDs never made the move with me to California last summer....or none of my movies for that matter. So my buddy suggested The Clone Wars animated series for me to check out today since they are all on Netflix. I kinda rolled my eyes and said ok i'll check i out. I couldn't have been more ignorant. I'm just three episodes in, and I'm very impressed with this. I really like the cinematography. Just the movement of the cameras and everything that is going in the frame, especially in the background during the battle scenes, are most impressive!
