Aw cmon we don't even disagree but it was just an expression. What I mean is the idea of "hey, let's do an action oriented trek movie" is not inherently bad and doesn't automatically make it not trek. Yes, the actual script was terrible.

Enterprise was just one big fan wank. I remember in the first episode it was supposed to be this cool low-tech space cowboy shit. Discovering the universe, making mistakes along the way while being the underdog. Then in the second episode "oh look we invented photon torpedoes!" and it just got worse from there. They couldn't stand a new concept for more than 60minutes.

I hadn't anticipated that they'd have him grow a Kenobi beard (most renditions of Old Luke that I've seen have him clean-shaven), but he wears it well.

The guy is going to be as old, or a year older than Alec Guiness was when he did A New Hope.
Soak that in.

Kind of awesome to me.
The funny part is Ford is almost a decade older than 'the old man' Cushing was. (Ford is 72, Cushing was 64)

Anything that hides his face is a plus. No kidding. Some people don't age well at all. He is not a handsome man. |

I feel the guys in the medical fields are not building magic nanobots that will end aging fast enough. Ginaz: Well, he'd have probably looked better if not for that face versus glass versus road incident in his youth. I suspect "massive facial trauma" ages your face a bit. |

Yeah, I remember hearing about how he had some scarring or something from an accident. At least he's looking more like Mark Hamill again. There was a stretch there where I guess he had put on so much weight he was literally unrecognizable. The first time I saw the episode of Chuck with Hamill in it I had no idea it was him until I watched it a second time specifically looking for him.

Yeah, he had to have a large amount of facial reconstructive surgery before "The Empire Strikes Back." Oddly, it was during the filming for empire that his talent for voice acting came out and started getting him noticed for it, as he started doing Yoda impressions that cracked people up and pissed off Frank Oz as he did a better Yoda than Oz did.

Mark hasn't aged well at all. His voice has also become sort of...odd...somehow. He doesn't come across to me as the wise old Jedi, but rather the sort of crazy old uncle who might be a bit drunk most of the time. On the other hand, I think he is a decent actor and his voice work has been nothing short of phenomenal. I really don't know what to expect from him from this movie.

In a "older man who's been straining his voice playing the Joker for 20 years" kind of way? Yeah, I noticed that. |

It would be funny if he was the bad guy in the first movie. "Uh, Lord Skywalker, your academy is turning out a lot of Sith."

I saw the first Star Wars at a drive-in in the backseat of my brother's 1969 Mustang Mach I fastback. Same scenario, but it was my mother's Pinto wagon. I was 4, but still watched the whole thing. I still remember my mother reading me the intro, light sabers and laser gun fights. But that is about all I can piece together from that viewing. |

Life to you is a dashing, bold adventure... As for Hamill's looks, I think he's done pretty well, considering he had his face rebuilt in the early eighties when plastic surgery was significantly less advanced. |

Totally works for me.
He might turn out to be the genuine actor in that trinity. Ford lost all the softness and insouciance of Han Solo in every single subsequent role--a less "rogue-like" actor is hard to imagine. Carrie Fisher, well, she's funny and interesting and 100% addled. But I'm actually curious about what Hamill will do because his voice acting suggests real range and imagination.

Ford has been coasting on indiana jones and phoning it in for the better part of 20 years now. Hamill has had to work for a living and it seems like he's sharpened his chops, at least where voice acting is concerned. Fisher is probably insane which could go either way.

No probably about it. Fisher is, if memory serves, bipolar. I'd say out of the three of them she is probably the one with the quickest wit and the smartest person. Hamill is the nerd of the group who loves this stuff and I think it'll come across in his acting. Ford...well, Ford is ironically the one I have the least expectations of. As he's aged he's seemed to be more and more grumpy old man and less charming rogue. I just can't figure out how he'll recapture Han Solo and to be honest, I think he's arrogant enough he won't put much effort into it unless J.J. rides his ass hard about it. |
