Lando in EpVII?
« on: March 13, 2013, 08:53:26 AM »
Billy Dee williams say's he's been approached to play Lando .. I guess that means there's a part written for Lando in the script(?)

I think they should all do it.... as long as they arent required to act like young guys anymore.... They should play "old" people... they are all still great actors and actresses... and masters of the craft (but dont cast them just for the sake of casting is what I hope)

You know, cast the old crew to stand around and act like older more refined/sophisticated versions of themselves type thing.... then I say Heck Yes!!!

(offtopic) They had a batman where robin wore batmans suit because bruce wayne is an old man so he cant do that crimefighting type stuff anymore... it played off the dynamic of being an old retired ex- "super guy", dealing with aging and just issues with being old, while at the same time stepping into the wise mentoring role... Its a neat area to explore for the writers as well

Time will bring the real end of our trial.  One day they'll be no remnants

I think it will be mixed.  If they think it is better for the bottom line to have Chewy "in" he'll be in.

I would think if not chewy then something or another wookie... Its also a huge marketing tool and we (the public, me included) are a sucker for the wookies/Ewoks type toys.. the opposite spectrum from solid metal sabers is stuffed animals, sleeping bags... just everything! (Even in the clone wars episode the little wookie kid had one of the best sabers in the arc imho, so they know we love little furry things)

EDIT: sry for offtopic btw

Chewy had a level of comedic relief that accompanied everywhere he went which I think made the movies that much more enjoyable to watch. I mean its gotta take a certain amount of skill to make a movie like Wall-E where a character NEVER talks but still finds a way to be our favorite protagonist. If anyone can write in Chewy and make him work for the new generation, Disney can.
