Star Wars: The Force Awakens (12/18/15)

[jye4ever]

Let me rephrase that.

 

[jye4ever]

Tom Baker in the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special after 32 years as well.

Dr. Who?

 

[Asta]

...Peter Mayhew, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, Tim Rose...

 

[pixletwin]

Dr. Who?

Yaaaaaaaar.

 

[jye4ever]

Well, they returned for the PT, correct?

So that was only 16.

Btw, who is Tim Rose?

He was Admiral Ackbar.

 

[slackerboy]

Let me rephrase that.

In that case...closest I can think of would be Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau in the Odd Couple and Odd Couple 2, but that's only 30 years. 1968-98

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

How about Paul Newman in the Color of Money with Tom Cruise? The first one came out in the 50's I think.

25 years, the first was 1961, second was '86. That was the first one I thought of, but I had to do my math for a second. I'm sleepy.

 

[jye4ever]

If Arnold makes King Conan!

 

[slackerboy]

If Arnold makes King Conan!

That's it! Let's do it!

He said he'd be back! Oooooh, wrong franchise!

 

[Jaycepticon]

Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill

And Peter Mayhew

 

[slackerboy]

And Peter Mayhew

Nah, he was in Revenge of the Sith.

 

[Mr. Green]

Are we there yet? Are we there yet?!!

 

[Prime Clone]

Ian McDiarmid has the distinction of playing a 35-years-younger version of the same character, 16 years later!

 

[Prime Clone]

Further to the subject of showing Anakin as a child, while it may detract somewhat from the OT Vader, it makes his downfall all the more tragic if we see him as a loveable, untainted child who "gives without thought of reward" and "knows nothing of greed". It shows the lost potential that was there.

Then we see him as a troubled young adult padawan and finally a battle-hardened Jedi.

It was Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan's failure to train him when he already had attachments to his mother and Padme.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I still don't get why Qui Gon didn't just take both Annie and his Mom. Who was going to stop him?

Watto. She still had the explosive transmitter implanted. Not the best plot point ever, but whaddaya gonna do.

Also, Ani couldn't be trained with his mum hanging around, he had to let go of attachment.

That always gets me as well.

It's either his code of honour stopping him - but that shouldn't apply when dealing with slaves - or it's because he doesn't want to complicate things and bring the Jedi under fire from the slavers. If he took her, maybe it would set a precedent for the Jedi to free all slaves.

It's a plot point that makes Qui-Gon appear callous, or merely shackled to his duty.
