I’m coming home for Christmas but god I wish I wasn’t…That ones not meant to be funny
The trick is not to fight them, but to poison them with decades-old Reggie Bars
If true you have to wonder why he preferred the version that made him sound like a jerk.
I did
Interesting. I’ve heard the story told as both a boy and a girl. One who had seen the movie over 100 times, and one only three. The girl and three viewings seemed to be the more legitimate one.
I’m amused by the fact that he’s quoted as saying that early on Star Wars was a wonderful thing and whatnot, when it’s also known he didn’t want to do the movie at all after reading the script until they offered him a big enough check. And he said himself that early on in the filming he had called a friend of his who was a fellow actor, and complained about how stupid the movie was and how much he hated it, calling it “fairy tale rubbish.”
A lot of people in Hollywood really do seem to overestimate how big they are, especially if they try to compare themselves to star bigger then them.
But yeah, that is really shitty. Normally those biographies just stick to making themselves seem like saints that can do no harm and make the people they don’t like be like the reincarnation of Hitler.
Some people just have giant egos.
Star Wars still made him a ton of money, but I guess the fact that there was more he could’ve made incensed him.
The movie industry is full of people who get too big a head and start making demands and get themselves canned for being stupid. But usually they don’t write a biography where they shit talk the biggest role they ever played and brag how they made young kids cry, heh.
I’m sure he would.
Also, what did he expect? He said he hated the film, wanted his character to die, then when it came to the sequels, wanted more money even though it was just cameos.
Reminds me of the Matrix, where the guy that played Tank (even though he was a minor character), thought that for the sequel, he was worth more money then Laurence Fishburne and wanted to be paid as such. The Wachowskis responded by killing him off.
Yup. From all accounts he was a complete and total asshole when it came to Star Wars. He hated everything about it, but he sure didn’t mind the money it brought him, and wanted even more.
In today’s scoial media-fed world, he would’ve been vocally crucified for doing some of the stuff he did, and likely would’ve suffered professionally from it, as well.
I mean, even if he hated working on the films, there was no need to be a dick to a little girl, who said she was a big fan of him. Plus taking pride in the fact that you ruined someone’s day is a really shitty thing to do.
Yeah. It’s kind of shocking when you find out how he really was about the whole franchise. Here you’ve got one of the most-beloved characters, whose original appearance is of a kindly grandfather-like role, and in reality the guy bragged about how badly he treated his fans.
Alec seems like a bit of dick.
And why was that?
Avoid this spoiler if ye have not seen Rogue One, lest thou shalt be spoiled in a most bad way.
They had to die. They were never mentioned in the original trilogy (for obvious reasons, their characters didn’t exist yet), so it would make no sense for these heroes of the Rebellion to never be recognized nor a part of the future missions. THAT would have made no sense and would’ve gotten a ton of complaints for being a screaming-for-a-reton ending.
Rogue One was meant to be a darker movie than other Star Wars. It was about the heroic actions of a band of rogues that saved the galaxy. Not “And they all lived happily ever after again, never being mentioned again.”
Consider it a war movie. They won, but at the cost of their lives. Did I personally like that they were all killed? No. But from a story-telling point, it makes sense. And it gives the movie a lot more weight.
( ._.)~How did I miss that?!~
Thank you. :)

I wouldn’t be surprised if Harrison Ford said he hadn’t watched any of the movies, honestly. He famously hated the franchise. He wanted Solo killed off in the second one, but Lucas said he was too popular, so they did the carbonite freezing instead, and Lucas decided later whether or not he actually lived.
This is also why (TFA spoilers for those who still haven’t see it) Solo was killed in TFA. Harrison Ford wanted him dead, and as an out from any future movies.
Alec Guinness (the original Obi-Wan) also famously hated the franchise. He was an established actor who had many roles prior to Star Wars, and he thought the original movie was stupid, childish and asinine but did it because they waved enough money under his nose. He hated the fact that he became more well-known for that role than his others. In his biography he claimed that he threw away all of his fan mail unread, and bragged how he made a little girl cry. He was out eating lunch with a friend in public when a little girl approached him, and said she was a huge fan of him and Star Wars, and that she had seen the movie 3 times. She wanted his autograph. Not only did he say no, but he chastised her for watching the movie “so many times”, and insulted her for it.
IIRC, he was also pissed after the fact because he received far less from the two sequels due to the fact that his role was reduced to essentially cameos, but this was his own fault. He went into the movie hating the role, and wanted Lucas to kill his character off (sound familiar?) so he did. Then when it became obvious sequels were going to be made due to the success of the first one, he was written back in as a Force ghost.
Why the ‘nostalgia critic’ tag? Nothing against him at all, but he’s hardly the first or only online critic to have reviewed/mocked the Star Wars Holiday Special.
Which is why he hasn’t watched it
but he was in it, kinda.
George Lucas wants to destroy every copy.
And Harrison Ford has never actually watched it
