@mn5 don’t spoil it! Maybe it’s an upgrade to the T-65. Gotta be species inclusive these days. Humanoids only is not sustainable.
True. Chewie was very tall but not that bulky.
Porkins fit.
Look where that got him...

Yeah righto. Hired by the rebels cos HR would have a fit if there wasn’t one token fat fluffybunny to fill a quota and was the first one to die cos he’d fucked the engines on the X wing the moment he sat down…..seriously, every other X wing could avoid the surface cannons except for him.
Which brings me to my next rant…..How come in Rogue One they sent out literally hundreds of Tie Fighters for a dogfight but in a New Hope there was pretty much only three ? Couldn’t George Lucas have come back and rejigged the scene ? If Scarif had a couple of hundred Ties then the Death Star would have had thousands.

I think that may be one of the plotholes filled in though later books/comics. I have a vague recollection of reading an explanation. Something to do with not having re-allocated the squadrons for destroyers to Death Star yet. DS was very new and still being commissioned when the actions of the rebels accelerated it's use.

I hear that but I’m sure they would have had a few thousand floating around in case of emergencies. Not like there wasn’t room for them !

im what many have referred too as a bit of a star wars nerd.....and i've never given that this much thought

A bit of a ironic meme this one, I remember reading in the newspaper around 97-98 ( remember those relics of the past ? ) that Ewen McGregor had been cast as Obi Wan. My first thought was no fucken way will that junkie do justice to an iconic character. I was triggered before that term was even a term….
How wrong I was.
If anything due to the volume of work he surpassed the great Sir Alec Guinness.
Hats off you Scottish legend.

Um, you do know the great body of work that Sir Alec did, right?
The Sir might be a bit of a clue.
Or the 2.25% he got from the profits of a certain Star Wars movie, I doubt Sir Ewen got that (but I may be wrong)...
If it helps, Sir Alec was born in England but he thought his father might be Scottish. -

Fully aware that SAG was a legendary actor who made a lot of movies that I’ll never bother seeing.

@mn5 fair enough!
On that though it’s a bit like Peter Cushing, amazing as Moff Tarkin ( most underrated villain in SW history ) but it’s not like I specifically go out to watch any of his other work.

When I was little I did wonder what happened to Jabbas Palace after Luke and the gang wrecked havoc. Now I’ll find out.

Can't wait.
Very happy for our Tem that not only was his role resurrected but he has been able to bring a new fighting style to the SW universe with Boba's use of Mau rākau.
There were some lean years for Tem. Remeber that reality programme were he was scratching a living from fan conference appearances and signings and had no good acting prospects?
Jake the Fett deserved better than that.
