It's specifically said to be a religion in the first movie! And the way the members of the Rebellion say "May the Force be with you!" to each other implies a shared belief in a higher power, not just a "vague philosophy".

As for ST V, I'd say is a bit of anomaly, generally the protagonists in various Star Trek operate from an atheist (or at least agnostic) point of view.

Irrational right wing nutjobs. Who would have thought it?

Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 16 May 2013 08:52 (eleven years ago) link

tuomas maybe it's just best to imagine that the fake cartoonist is just a trekkie in this case

gr8080, Thursday, 16 May 2013 10:22 (eleven years ago) link

I remember people posting earlier cartoons in the same series, and they were all parodies of right-wing political cartoons... That's why you have crying Lady Liberty in it, she appears in all of them.

there's two types of kelly cartoons, ones parodying right wing political cartoons, and ones that develop the Kelly Mythos

Trek cartoon also reminds me of how the Mallard Fillmore dude will just go off on pet topics for weeks at a time, most famously his quixotic campaign to save 'Veronica Mars' from cancellation.

Ooof. Look on the bright side, NO KELLY.

not entirely opposed to this, I like her singing okay and I have to say it's in the spirit of the original movies to build the cast out of largely untried actors in the lead roles. If they start announcing gracefully aged British character actors for the secondary parts I'll be really impressed. (But please no Alan Rickman as Darth Severus.)

Doctor Casino, Saturday, 1 June 2013 14:39 (eleven years ago) link

Yeah she might be a terrific actor for all I know, whatevs. Basically I'm approaching these new films with interest and an open mind. If they turn out to be good then bonus, if they're shit then it's not like the franchise hasn't been already debased.

How about if they cast Justin Lee Collins as Jar-Jar Binks' son?

Looks like the Jake Lloyd's screen role was playing a character called J.J.

Think about it.

two weeks pass...

Prepare your headshots:

A young man aged between 20 and 25, witty and smart, fit but not classically handsome,

Man in late twenties, also fit, but this one is handsome and confident.

Late teenage girl, independent, good sense of humour, also… physically fit .

Second young female, also late teens, tough, smart and physically fit.

Man in his forties, obviously physically fit, this one is a military type.

A man of around thirty or so, this one is an intellectual type.

Finally, a guy aged around seventy, strong opinions and tough.

it's cool that Reel 2 Real is writing the casting calls for this

they are either militarists (ugh) or kangaroos (?) (DJP), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 19:28 (eleven years ago) link

So they're going with a cast primarily composed of good-looking young people, you say...

So, this maybe implies Ford won't return for this movie, right? I don't think they'd have a third old mentor figure besides Luke and Han... Unless the old dude is the bad guy.

who knows, it could be like, the hero(ine)'s dad or something

Your Favorite Album in the Cutout Bin, Thursday, 20 June 2013 15:37 (eleven years ago) link

I'm not gonna lie to you, there's already an "Expanded Universe" novel, Tatooine Ghost, in which that dude plays a major role:

. . . Han and Leia embark on a journey through Tatooine in order to retrieve the art piece, battling the Imperial forces and Tusken Raiders with the help of Jawas and a Squib trio, Emala, Sligh and Grees. During their voyage, Leia finds out more about her late father's past, and runs into Anakin's old friend, Kitster Banai, who reveals to her what her father was like before he left Tatooine under the guidance of the late Qui-Gon Jinn. Leia also retrieves a holojournal recorded by Shmi, revealing details of her life in between Anakin's departure from Tatooine to his return to his home planet. After Leia saves Han from being dehydrated and lost in Tatooine's vast, dry desert, it is implied that they sleep together, which would indicate that this tryst was what led to the conception of their children, Jaina and Jacen.

Man in late twenties, also fit, but this one is handsome and confident.
And Captain Lando Tucker, a dedicated young man with no characteristics.

I was being charitable and assumed you Googled it.

For I am deeply ashamed.
As you should be.

to what extent is Lucas involved this time round?
IIRC, he may have handed off an outline. Other than that, not at all. He sold his toys and went home.
