Starting "heir to the empire" and the entire thrawn trilogy. Why couldn't they just roll with this for the sequel trilogy?

Why pay movie rights to an author when you can hire a bunch of diversity nerds to give you woke wars?

For starters, Leia and Luke are in their mid-30s in the books and Leia is pregnant with twins. 2015 Carrie Fisher was crabby enough without morning sickness.

OBVIOUSLY we can't take the story verbatim, but it could've advanced with the twins, Thrawn, etc. however, post menopausal Pregnant leia would've been... about as cool as super-man in space leia.

Just recast the roles for the people who are too old

Han and Lando have already been recast so precedent is set.

Would Daisy Ridley have made a good Leia?

Obviously has the wrong accent

And 19 years later, I still don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

I wouldn't have gone to see a Star Wars movie post-ROTJ recast Han, Luke, and Leia.

The prequels made this impossible. What the Force is and how it works didn't align with these books. And everything about the Clone Wars played out differently than Zahn wrote it.

Also, hilariously, the Luke of that series had literally fallen to the Dark Side and willingly served as apprentice to a resurrected Emperor. How would the TLJ haters have liked THAT?

It's gonna happen. I think the Sebastian Stan thing possibly has legs, even.

If the stories are important, and they are the myths and epics of our age as we tend to say they are, then the characters have to be bigger than the actors.

If it was a good movie they would probably figure it out. TLJ was a bad movie with some really egregious faults, and once you lose a nerd audience they go nuts picking apart things they would forgive in a movie they otherwise like.

I think that mischaracterizes what happened a bit. He was essentially forced to because he was out matched, and at first, he didn't know he was evil. From what I recall anyway.

Also, Luke joining with the resurrected Palpatine happened after the Thrawn trilogy so it's a moot point as far as wanting to see Heir to the Empire on screen.

Visiting Disneyworld with the fam, walking around Galaxy's Edge today with an Aggie hat on. One of the cast members on my way out of a shop goes "hmm... from the College Station system..."

We're Star Wars canon now boys

Had an experience two years ago similar. Was wearing a well-worn Texas A&M Football shirt (on the day the Ags "lost" to UGA). Stopped to get my picture taken in front of the X-Wing, and the gal taking the photo said, "Gig 'Em, I'm Class of '22".

I like to post this every few years in case anyone on this thread was in attendance, or is the "Beat the hell outta Darth Maul!" guy. (CS Cinemark in Feb 2012)

I remember asking for directions to Toy Story Land and they pointed in the general direction and said to grab a shuttle to go offworld. The cast members are really incredible at keeping in character.

When I interned in NYC in the summer of 2009, I soon discovered that a dozen+ Star Wars fans would lightsaber duel at sunset in Washington Square Park every Wednesday.

Grabbing a to-go bite and eating in Washington square park became a much more regular thing after that.
Thanks and gig'em
