I've been watching the news about the giant at-at for a while... the nerdosphere was buzzing about if to for a while. I may have to venture back into starwars for it, not sure what I'd do with it but.
4Lom & Zuckass are the buddy film embedded w/in Star Wars. 4Lom, the cold intellectual. Zuckass, forever sympathetic and emotional. Send screenplay to Mel Brooks or Blake Edwards.
I always figured 4 Lom was the straight one and Zuckass was the wise crackin' sassy buddy. "You can ZUCK on that fool!"
Ahem, in the comics & books (!), 4Lom is like Dr Spock. All cold logic, but questioning humanity. While Zuckass is the sensualist who shows remarkable sensitivity for a f*cking bounty hunter. But yeah, if they were in Cannonball Run 2/3/4 etc they'd be in the same car. Zuckass would be played by Dom DeLouise, 4Lom played by... well, Anthony Daniels ftw.
I'm gentrifying the Extended Universe. Great condos at low prices. Also has some interesting stories, esp the ones that fill in between the movies (one 4-part about Vader drawn by Dave Gibbons is killer, will find the name). And who can forget all the ancient & future Jedi? Damn you George Lucas, had to go ruin a perfectly good space opera....
I nerded out a while ago and got all the 12" bounty hunter figures, except Boba Fett, because he is a I FART A LOT.
The only reason Bossk let Fett get Solo is he knew whoever got him would end up in a Sarlac Pit. Bossk rules.
Sorry, but Fett went out like a b***h - shot by blind unfrozen guy, malfunctioning jet pack, sarlacc food. Blame George Lucas for punking out your boy, don't blame me.
I always use this argument too, screw Fett. Then I get a lot of "Well he flew out of the pit and was all unfocused cause' he saw a Jedi and his dad was killed by a Jedi" and I say "SHUT UP EP I-III DON'T COUNT YOU LOSER!"
True dat. Lucas accidentally creates a fanboy favorite IN AN XMAS SPECIAL, (and let's face it, those other bounty hunters were totally a last-minute thing - their costumes are all repainted bits from the costume shop) punks him out in the next movie, then rewrites the whole beginning of his "epic" to make Fett the son of another punk, and the clone-brother to thousands of stormtroopers who can't shoot straight. PUNK! He's worse than ewoks.
And why doesn't Vader remember that dude when he shows up on his Star Destroyer? "Waitaminnit, didn't I cut that guy's head off before lava burnt off my junk?" (Did he cut off his dad's head? It's hard to remember those crap prequels.)
No, Lucas didn't want Vader to be cool so he let Sam Jackson do it. Those tins are great. I really like the big 3 armoured saints of Star Wars when all together. I like Fett, especially his look, I just don't LOVE him and I hate the damned hype.
