Can I complain? I'm gonna complain. TATTOOINE, AGAIN????

For a neglected corner of the galaxy, they spend a shitload of time there.

It might not be Tatooine. There's gotta billions of desert planets. Sure.

Personally, I get annoyed by any obvious attempts to cash in on nostalgia. Like, "let's put Spock in this one because fans will love that."

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

Ugh. It's always Tattooine. You would THINK there was another desert planet.

At least it's written by Kasdan. But then, he wrote Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull (and Grand Canyon, ha!). Lucas was a driving force, though. Maybe with more freedom a good story can be made.

I hope Han & Leia will have some significance if they're cast.

I'm just going to not expect anything. The three originals are enough. Heck, just the first two. But it's tough to not be a LITTLE excited.

There is another desert planet. It’s called Arrakis.

hmmmm, do you know what you are duneing implying that...

[immemor.livejournal.com]

It’s only in 5 of the six movies. In TESB you get Hoth, which is cold Tattooine.

Maybe that's why Empire is the BEST of the series.

Lucasfilm/Disney probably owns half of Tunisia (We PAID FOR IT, WE'RE GOING TO USE IT!)

[immemor.livejournal.com]

I can see it now: ISIL is foolish enough to invade Tunisia. They destroy the Skywalker home because it is “western idolatry.” And we end up with the 21 century being defined as a struggle between geeks and radical Islam.

.....the 21st Century defined as Jedi-ism versus Islamism...it is always about the "isms" isn't it!?

....still the geek army would be the first to need sound effects fitted to their weapons in order to use them...

[immemor.livejournal.com]

And that’s why I try to avoid –isms… but, that too, is some kind of –ism.

[immemor.livejournal.com]

Nope. The Nazi’s used sound effects in their aircraft to intimidate the Brits.

It’s always comes back to the F-ing Nazis, doesn’t it? Sorry Goodwin.

I always wondered if a really hot Tatooine would be called Coldh....

"Baby, I may be black, but I sure ain't little."

The Millennium Falcon is my favorite character.

She's still got it where it counts.
