    Oh you mean like in Guardians of the Galaxy 3 they team up with Elvis, who was abducted by aliens after all. And then he sings "Hound Dog" to Cosmo over the credits?

    Not the lead, and they used an actor who did a vocal impression for the mocap.

    Yeah, like I stated on the other page
    he kills her so she won't reveal his identity. But he does so from an unconcealed location and then flies away. So the Jedi see him and have a notable fact about him to help with identification (he is an armored bounty hunter who flies). Then it turns out the weapon was extremely specialized, and trackable! You might say, "Oh, it was the Sith plan, they wanted him to be tracked." Okay... then let Zam reveal the information under questioning, rather than murdering her?

    I've also never understood why Jango was fighting the jedi at all. He's the model for the clone army, he has...no reason whatsoever to be against the republic, he's literally aiding their soon to be war effort.

    he was paid to.

    bounty hunter got to get paid, yo
    Also the extended clone wars series seems to very strongly imply he was hired by dooku to be the clone template

    It's one of the stupidest and most complicated bits of plot from the prequels, explaining the clone army thing.

    The best part of the clone origins is that the guy who ordered the clones only exists due to a typo.
    In an early draft of Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, the name of the Jedi who contacted the Kaminoans was "Sido-Dyas," a false identity for Darth Sidious. Obi-Wan Kenobi claimed to have never heard of him, and Mace Windu confirmed no Jedi of that name existed. In the draft, one instance of Sido-Dyas was misspelled as "Sifo-Dyas," to which the name was ultimately changed.

    Some movie has been trying to do this with James Dean but I cannot remember the cursed necromantic project at the moment.

    A joke obviously but I would say there is a nonzero chance this might happen for the next trilogy.

    I can almost guarantee at some point someone noticed the name for their mystery man sounded like "cypher" and felt very proud of themselves.

    I watched A New Hope with my girlfriend for the first time and she was like "Why is this movie such a big deal, it is the simplest, bog-standard adventure movie, it's borrrriiiiiing" and I was like "I don't know whether to be angry to quietly appreciate the fact that you have basically the same opinion of Star Wars as Alec Guinness".

    Then I had to explain who Alec Guinness was.

    I swear to God if I read this article and the reason why it says a third time is because the force awakens exists someone is getting a smack in the head.

    Edit:. God damn it not only is it that but a bunch of people are just making that same observation in Twitter comments.

    I wish that at any point in the past like 10 years people would stop making clearly incorrect statement that Force Awakens is just a remake of a new hope. Mostly because it is clearly incorrect and not particularly funny even if it was true.

    But pithy remarks about superficial similarities in plot are, like, the entirety of 98% of the internet, NM. Take that away and all we have is gamergate and nazis!

    A movie that has a different plot, themes, and characters is not a remake just because it intentionally references another movie.

    There are more or less exactly as many explicit references to ESB in TLJ would you like to claim its a remake as well?

    It has the same plot, themes, and story beats and it tries its best to copy the characters.
