Yeah but at least he's like a vaguely-inspired distillation of old tropes, if Lucas had made Jedi in 1999... I shudder to imagine.

If Lucas had made Jedi at all.

This just in from the Star Wars front: Episode VII has cast 12 Years a Slave Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o and Game of Thrones’ Gwendoline Christie. From the studio:Lupita Nyong’o joins the recently announced cast of Star Wars: Episode VII. This year, her breakthrough performance in 12 Years a Slave earned her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Gwendoline Christie, currently starring in the hit television series Game of Thrones as Brienne of Tarth, has also been cast in the production. She can next be seen in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2. “I could not be more excited about Lupita and Gwendoline joining the cast of Episode VII,” says Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. “It’s thrilling to see this extraordinarily talented ensemble taking shape.”

if Jar Jar had been a double-headed character played by Gwendoline Christie and Lupita Nyong'o, s/he would have been the best character ever created in the Star Wars universe
― On-the-spot Dicespin (DJP), Monday, 2 June 2014 17:44 (ten years ago) link
Yeah but surely there can be a planet that is a desert but the sand is grey or pale blue or something, and the sky is red or whatever. Pick up any random sci fi pulp paperback and just rip that off.
