It's amazing how much he looks like Hamill.

Broke and happy
Hamill revealed he was paid $1,000 gross a week for ANH production!
I'm surprised it was that high Lucas was a nobody with a goofy idea.
He is also now saying that NOT having a scene with all 3 together in the ST had the effect of making the OT that much more unique and special and it was just meant to be this way he has a ton of respect for JJ and RJ and that both of them are hardcore SW fans.
Interesting.

Yeah, but I can't escape the impression that The Winter Soldier is staring down Vader and about to up and kill him.
I really don't see the resemblance between Mark Hamill and Sebastian Stan, never have. Every comparisson I've seen has been heavily edited to make them look more alike.

Well, wasn't that what so many wanted, Luke-the-bad-ass?
What I was hoping for, ultimately, ain't gonna happen - that Luke Skywalker didn't make an appearance until the end of the show; and that Stan had been brought in - at least there would have been some expression in his face. I mean, Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Qui-Gon can at least crack a bit of smile (or more, in Obi-Wan's case).
This de-aging doesn't do it for me; don't think the tech is there yet. Plus it bugged me that an entire fight went on with a hood on (unless u are a Nazgul). But with Filoni having a background as an animator and Favreau having done an entire film with blank-faced singing animals - don't think they see an issue.
But, not sure how much interest overall I'll have in the show going forward
- just can't get excited about rehash - so sure, they can stuff in as much CGI Luke as they like at this point. Pretty sure Luke will show up to deliver Grogu back to Din and be in at least 1 battle, probably more.Since the Pandora's box was thrown open. There's already rumors swirling of Lucas himself directing a Season 3 episode
.Well, Hamill and Stan accept that there's a resemblance; they even joke about it to each other as Dad and son etc. Whether a rather radical? part of the fan base is ready to accept a re-cast is debatable. Dunno if Stan would want to put up with the *&^% that comes with being part of SW either. Personally I think it's time vs. trying to use tech to fake it, but far as I can tell the majority? of SW fans were happy; so that's that.
Happy fans = people spending money, and Disney has to answer to stockholders.

Lens Crafters is running a NewYears special discount, you might want to take advantage of that.
If they had Stan in the role IMO they could just use the tech on his face for all the close-ups but it wouldn't really be needed for stuff like action scenes. Given the similarities in their bone structure I think it would easily look as good as what they did with SLJ in Captain Marvel. Of course if they went this route SS would also have to agree to have his dialogue dubbed by MH, and that seems unlikely.

I guess. I didn't hate seeing him but didn't need to. I would have enjoyed an entire series without any legacy characters, but Grogu being all Force-y somewhat painted them into a corner ... it was Luke or a random Jedi which was possible I guess, but another can of worms.
I'm along for the ride, but I'm not a fan of the Kitchen Sink approach.

I never saw it that way, especially re some comments made it Rebels...I mean, if there were THAT many Jedi surely a FEW managed to get wind of things and hide - the PT even kind of alludes to this (e.g., the part about trying to draw Jedi back to the temple).
The fact that we haven't seen them up to now IMO is meaningless, since no character (outside of historical/real) exists until someone makes them up and tells a story.
But - well, it's not the first time I've been at the mercy of directors. Someone makes something and it either speaks to you or it doesn't, in varying degrees. Like I thought Ragnarok was hilarious and a fresh approach. Plenty of outraged/disgusted Thor fans tho.
Yeah, I'm along for the ride, I'll just move to the cheap seats in the stadium
. Dust my incredibly detailed HASBRO Razor Crest
and think about what might have been (kind of like my TFA HT Kylo...)
PS. In theory I don't KNOW what F & F have planned; and maybe it'll be awesome (in my opinion) but find that hard to believe, between comments from F & F, fan comments, and speculation. Also, directors who say one thing and do another is bs, to me. Makes me pretty wary of anything else they might be cooking up.
I think there'll be some stuff I really like in the future; but not enough to get really enthused like I was.
Yeah. Career-wise - imagine an actor would have to really think over whether they wanna be a kind of face stand-in. But I would have liked to see what Stan did with the part. Not sure a pretty vocal fandom is ready to let go tho. He'd be another actor/actress getting harassed online, unless Hamill made a big deal of how much he supported the idea. Maybe.
And there's rumors Hamill is back in SW - dunno.

He is looking for revenge along the same lines as his second toy deal with Hasbro after the Kenner debacle. George always strikes back

What a wonderful exchange and such a refreshing contrast to the Rose Tico debacle both on and off the screen.

This is true, but when I spoke with Hamill he told us that even with the money he made of royalties from the films, which he DID get, and made him rich, it was nothing compared to the merchandising he signed away. Any merchandise with Luke and Hamill?s likeness he got ZERO.
That?s what you get for using the same lawyer as your director.
Yup, Hamill?s lawyer was ....Lucas lawyer, generously lent to him by Lucas.

Well this is interesting.
I'd never heard that theory and honestly if that's the way they want to go then that would actually be pretty straightforward and simple.
For those who don't click on the video they're basically suggesting that there already are two timelines existing parallel to one another in SW along the lines of what we saw in Endgame due to Ezra going back in time in Rebels to save Ahsoka. And that everything after that moment where Ahsoka was pulled through the World Between Worlds portal is now a new and parallel reality. And in the new reality Ahsoka lives through the OT, encounters Grogu and directs him to Luke which will create a butterfly effect that prevents ST events from happening and Luke going into exile.
And the ST is what happens in the *original* reality where Ahsoka dies.
Honestly if they want to do that in an attempt to please everybody I'd be totally fine with it. Do I personally think it's dumb to have a SW multiverse? Absolutely. But the beauty of this particular scenario is that it's an alternate universe that exists completely within the context of television which makes it very easy for people like me to ignore. Rebels and Mandalorian would just be a new timeline that branches off of the one true film canon (heh heh.) Sure, go ahead, give some fans a completely alternate ST that they can enjoy on the small screen forevermore.
If Mando proves to be in a different universe than the ST then I'll just consider it a lesser side canon and will go back to enjoying the live-action films as their own thing and my preferred and "true" SW universe. Everybody wins. Go for it, why not.

Unless Mando figures prominently in the next movie trilogy that would follow after Rey's adventures.
Then they are crossing streams, which we all know from Egon is a bad thing to do.

This kind of thing can only work if the creators/writers and audience are willing to accept major plot holes. This is what I was referring to the other day about the WBW opening up a mess of nonsense.
Like I had said in a previous post, an alternate timeline *already has to exist* because of that WBW episode of Rebels. That was already a given. Ezra became the catalyst for the "Prime" SW timeline that has been playing out on screen, while the timeline where Ahsoka never gets pulled out went unseen by the audience.
Remember, Ezra takes Thrawn out of the picture in the timeline where he saved Ahsoka. That's a huge deal. And she's the one who talked Ezra out of saving Kanan. And that itself is relevant because Kanan's sacrifice led (indirectly *and* directly) to the Thrawn/Ezra hyperspace escape. A timeline without Ahsoka would mean a completely different ending to the Rebels series, including what happens with Kanan and/or Thrawn.
The idea that the butterfly effect could lead to these two timelines *both* happening on screen (where one leads to the ST and one doesn't) means that the OT would play out *differently* in each timeline. What happens (or doesn't happen) to Thrawn pre-OT changes the landscape of the Empire. You can't credibly say that the events of the OT would not have differed regardless of the presence of Ahsoka and Thrawn (and potentially Kanan) for an extended period of time.
If LFL/Disney were to ever go through with something like this, the inevitable plot holes will end up being monumental. There are plenty of SW fans who aren't stupid, and are very capable of deconstructing logic flaws that would end up undermining so much credibility from these stories.
