I have some good shots in mind from the trailers. Shots of Poe screaming, the forest on fire, stormtroopers torching, etc. Might only be enough footage for about 10-20 seconds of dubbed music.
I'm not the best at video editing, but will give it a shot weekend....not like some/many care, but just as something to do.

The bloke was in his early 30's when he stared in A New Hope.shit he's old lol.
And thank god it launched his career, for all his faults his acting as Han has been enjoyable and he didn't need a sex tape to be famous.

It was his exclusive interview in Brüno that launched his career.

Are you saying he has a sex tape that hasn't been put out there yet?

No I always assumed it was Lucas that gave him his start in the industry

I was being smart about the sex tape as a dig about the fame game these days

I recall reading Ford was apparently a stage hand or carpenter working on set of American Graffiti.

Lucas then supposedly plucked him out of nowhere for a small role in that film, then cast him for Star Wars. And the rest is history.

He's by far been the most successful out of the cast. Phenomenal career. In stark contrast to say Jake Lloyd or Haydn Christensen who many thought would also launch a strong career off the back of their work in Star Wars.

He wasn't even meant to be cast in Star Wars. He was helping people read for other roles when someone asked why Lucas didn't just cast him as Han.

Lucas also cast Ford in Raiders of the Lost Ark as Indiana Jones (although Spielberg had to persuade Lucas to cast Ford in the role because Lucas wanted to cast another actor in the role to prevent a perception from developing that Lucas always worked with Ford).

The Star Wars/Indiana Jones double did wonders for Ford's career.

They were looking at Tom Selleck weren't they?

10 minute discussion on Kylo Ren.
As theorised by 2 ign blokes.
I dont class this as a spoiler cos quite frankly their theories and logic behind their theories are well.....pretty stupid.
Far superior discussion in this thread.
Fairly pedestrian effort. Two 8 year old star wars fans would have equal depth and insight but use far fewer words.
Still. Its a must watch in my books.
Comment on you tube. "seriously..a 10 minute video on this? How the hell do I get a job like this?"
Many highlights. Particularly as bloke on left starts warbling on about Nazism and bloke on right responds with "Thats getting a bit heavy". To which bloke on left responds" I bring the heavy". LOL

Very sad news, the terminally ill Star Wars fan (Daniel Fleetwood) who got his wish to see The Force Awakens, has passed away.

Very decent of Mark Hamill campaigning on twitter to make it happen, and JJ Abrams and Disney for making his last dream come true :(

No more leaks i guess.

But seriously....it's horrible realizing there are fans of whatever out there everyday passing away, never getting to see what happens with their favorite football team, movie franchise, etc. So it was really wonderful of Disney/Abrams/etc to make that happen. When humans care for each other it's very touching.
