Who?

Don't make me back hand you one across the face.

Anybody who knows two licks about the Star Wars franchise, especially the original trilogy, knows who Wedge Antilles is. Wedge is the only character besides the main characters (so Luke, Han, Leia, 3PO, R2, Chewie, Vader and Kenobi) to have appeared in all three chapters of the original trilogy. In A New Hope he was the X-Wing pilot with the callsign Red Two who did the Death Star trench run with Luke. His X-Wing was damaged and he had to pull out. In Empire he helped during the Battle of Hoth piloting a Snowspeeder who helped bring down an AT-AT Walker when Luke's gunner was killed and in Jedi he now had the callsign of Red Leader, went in with Lando and fired the first shots to destroy the Death Star's main reactor.

Wedge is probably the most important secondary character in the original trilogy and he has been vastly expanded upon in the EU stuff.

I know i was joking

[ILOVEVHS]

Mark Hamill did say he wanted to make a cameo to pass the torch to a new Jedi.

[RedAuthar]

That'd be pretty cool.

[Uncle Ben]

Isnt Hamill like 70??

[RedAuthar]

61

[ILOVEVHS]

He's still in acting. He voices Skips on Regular Show.

He's 61. Plus Alec Guinness was in his 60s when he took the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Age isn't really a factor if they still got the stuff to do it.

Not mention The Joker.

He's not just the joker. HE'S THE BEST JOKER!

Too bad his performance in "Batman Arkham City" is gonna be his last time voicing the character. Hamill said it himself on his Twitter account. He's still into voice acting though; just no longer the Joker.

It's a real shame too. He really got into the role and made the Joker one of the most memorable animated villains ever. Had SatAM continued, I wonder what it would've been like if he'd voiced Ixis Naugus.

[RedAuthar]

That would have been epic.

[ILOVEVHS]

Sure as heck would.

I recall a long time ago I read George Lucas had plans for a sequel trilogy. It was going to be about two brothers who were sith make a clone army of Darth Vaders to resurrect the empire. The story would revolve around Luke's son and Luke becoming the eccentric mentor.

I'm not too eager to see a new Star Wars movie. I think the ones we have now are good enough. But the main problem is what characters will appear in it. The main cast, aside from Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker, are too old at this point to play their characters. And I can't really imagine anyone else being Han, Luke, etc. Oh well. If it's good, I think I'll wind up making myself see it.

You do realise that Kenny Baker is older then Mark Hamill, Harrsion Ford and Carrie Fisher right? And for most of Sith R2 was either rendered in CGI or it was footage shot during Clones that featured Baker. If anything, Baker is probably the one not likely to return compared to the three main cast members of the original trilogy.

And as for the too old to play their characters, that's bullshit. Bruce Willis is still playing John McClane after 25 years, Sylvester Stallone took up play Rocky Balboa and John Rambo after those characters spent years away from the screen. Hell, Leonard Nimoy came back to play Spock in the 2009 Star Trek movie at the age of 78 and that was about 18 years since the last time he had played Spock on screen.

I don't know. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. But being the kind of fan that I can sometimes be, I'll probably just be butthurt from now until it comes out.

You mean like how Batman fans were raging at pics that were released of The Joker from The Dark Knight before the movie was released? How they went on about how the look of the character was all wrong and it was ruining The Joker character without having seen the performance?

It's fan nature to get butthurt when we see something different, or hear about some news that we (and I mean our own personal opinion) don't agree with, casting news etc, but what good does all the butthurting and rage and ranting get you when you eventually see this thing that has been pissing you off before you actually sit down to read, watch or listen to it yourself, only to discover you actually enjoyed it? Doesn't all that ranting and anger from before seem pathetic? Best thing to do is not let it dig at you until you see the movies.
