Don't give money to the last Jedi remake projects

I think you're gonna be disappointed.

“I don’t care in that way anymore.” And thus, the Youtube thumbnail blight spreads just that little bit further. At least there’s no stupid faces being pulled, I suppose.


It’s funny. I also don’t care about Star Wars the same way I did decades ago. Evidently, that is all Disney’s fault.

Although like me, Mark still seems fond enough of it to start talking (unprompted) about the prequels every other day. And he’s not even in those!

“I don’t care in that way anymore.”

I suggested if he appears as a force-ghost he'll just be doing it out of a contractual obligation and will phone it in. I don't see how the italicized text negates that assertion.

However people feel about The Last Jedi script, Mark put his all into the actual performance. He's spoken at length about how he felt cheated by not having even a single line in Force Awakens so he put 110% into LTJ. I don't think he'd work nearly as hard in an Episode IX cameo.

As such, I don't particularly care whether he appears or not either.

One wonders how you can bring yourself to watch the OT. What with:
Harrison Ford: Vocally and visibly bored by the end of filming ESB. Flat out wanted to leave.
Carrie Fisher: Notoriously unhappy with certain scenes, and so coked out at the time that she couldn’t recall large segments of it.
Hamill: Bored by ROTJ
James Earl Jones: Didn’t give a shit. One of a million paycheque jobs.
Alec Guinness: Supportive when making the first movie, but was very vocal about the franchise ‘phenomenon’ being ridiculous (but profitable) by the sequels.​

Oh, last but not least: George Lucas feeling like an absolutely miserable defeatist during the filming of ANH. As in ‘man on the edge of a nervous breakdown.’

(Oddly enough, it was TPM and the Disney movies that had actors absolutely thrilled and geeking out to be there. Hmmm...)

Oh, and presenting: Man who has no positive feelings towards the possibility of appearing in XI, whatsoever.

Now excuse me whilst I go find out if that LEGO set is real.

I have seen Mark Hamill horrifyingly melt into a giant man-slug, investigate child-murders by soul-sucking bipedal cats, and The Star Wars Holiday Special.

But I’m yet to see him ‘phone it in.’ Something has given me the impression that he’s not capable of it.
 
Yes, how and why some films/episodes in a series were disappointing to you even though you loved their predecessors and the series overall.

I don't see the point. I enjoyed it, or didn't. If I didn't, I don't rewatch that episode or movie.

I mean, it doesn't get much more clearer than that ;)
