Which is sad because now I know there's an alternate dimension of Star Wars with ...and Sean Connery as Wedge Antilles.

You could also picture Darth Vader as having an English country accent, since David Prowse, his physical actor, had a regional accent and thought for most of production that he'd be the one voicing Vader going off urban legend. You can hear a bit of his spoken voice in clips like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQFho0_G1VI. Which, I'm not surprised that they replaced his voice honestly, since his voice doesn't have the depth and gravitas associated with Vader at the very least. It's hard to know how it'd be received when you know what it could be, but it doesn't seem nearly as menacing or iconic at the very least.

This is a dumb humble brag I've never shared anywhere else because SW threads on SA are bad but I was childhood friends with JEJ's son. We went to the same summer camp and after a couple months of him and I hanging out almost every single day, he was like "Hey my mom says its cool if you sleep over, but you gotta know something first, my dad's in movies so just be cool about it, I dont really like talking about it". I was 15 and he was 17ish.

JEJ's wife was a very pale, snow white dove of a woman and his son was just an extremely pasty kid with curly hair and I just thought he was Jewish like me. Anyways he's like "my dad is Darth Vader" and I was like... whatever dude cool, like he meant his dad was a bad guy or a mean dad. I knew he was very wealthy, and went to private school in Poughkeepsie, NY, but I was too young and sheltered to just accept that my very white friend was Mufasa's kid.

Anyway Saturday morning he drives over and grabs me and my stuff and we drove an hour out into the country and his house is a huge gated mansion and we park and go inside and James Earl Jones is just sitting at the kitchen table. it's like 11 AM and he's in a wifebeater and black sweats and he's eating a giant bowl of cheerios and watching one of those little kitchen TV's that absolutely everyone had in the 90's. I breeze through the introductions and try not to stare or be too chatty. He doesn't sound like Vader up close, and he's so loving tall, even sitting down, but I have watched The Sandlot like 50 times and i'm just barely not totally starstruck. His wife is getting ready for work and she swoops over to smooch Flynn, their son, on the cheek and tells us not to spend the whole weekend watching anime, and that she made a huge tray of baked mac and chicken wings for us for the weekend so we shouldn't need to order out.

To capstone the entire thing in the most surreal way possible, a Verizon commercial pops on the TV and of course its the middle/end of the JEJ ad campaign where he's a cowboy and he watches himself and just grimaces and shakes his head and Flynn's like "i told you astronaut was cooler, you shoulda done astronaut", and then we go upstairs and write Kingdom Hearts fanfiction for the next 16 hours.

That's the kind of playground space I'm interested in. Vader in the volcano. Biggs is a thing, way outsized vs what was on screen. Wedge . . . exists.

That's like playground metis. I want to contrast that with poo poo we know because of the internet like missing scenes. Or like Bunny guy from the comics. Nobody talked about bunny guy from the comics.

You don't have to imagine anything dude, we know for a fact that Carano was raised the daughter of a conservative GOP Vegas pit boss with a silver spoon in her mouth.

Yeah, but there's a difference between "Henry Cavill" and "a friend of mine." One is a person you know in real life, one is a person who plays pretend for a paycheck. I think that's where the confusion over your "processing" remark came from.

That's some prime bullshit to put out there - has Cavill expressed ANY loving bullshit on the level of Carano? Not in the public eye. So why burn him cause he once dated someone then it was broken off?

It firmly remains mediocre throughout, although it tends to hit its stride in the second half of both seasons (14-21 in S1, 11-19 in S2)

Not really a priority watch, but it helps kill time between waiting for other Star Wars shows to come out
