God, I would enjoy seeing each of those options perform at least one number in the role.

If not, they’ll let Jack Black fill in... 100% positive.

Everyone I’ve met who graduated from Transy is eager to let you know that fact.

Adding, kids I met outside Kentucky (while travelling with school groups or visiting family) would legitimately ask if we wore shoes. And by kids, I mean teenagers. And, like, I lived in the country so I often didn’t wear shoes outside...but I knew to dress my feet when going out for a fancy dinner at the Olive…

Yeah! That’s leaving out the entire western half of the state, which is where I grew up. We didn’t have hills.

My California family likes to come in the fall to see the trees change colors. Plan your trip. Fly into Louisville, head out to Bardstown to see the leaves at Bernheim Forest, tour some bourbon distilleries, head back to Louisville for foodie heaven, walk through the 3rd largest historic preservation district, drive…

My husband and I had this conversation last night. It is largely agreed that Empire is the best of OT, but it is the best because of the full trilogy. A New Hope is the tightest story on its own. Perfect example of compact storytelling and pacing. All of the action continues to move the story forward. Just such a good…

Ok—if Anakin had been written well and if Hayden Christensen could deliver dialogue and if George Lucas had written a better script, then it would be more clear that Anakin was complex and troubled. Luke was a pretty whiny airheaded baby in A New Hope and he became a Jedi Master!

Additionally, the originals were good because they took the classic hero’s journey and put it in MUTHACLUCKIN’ SPACE! Simple story means we hardly need any explanation. We just get straight story with great characters IN SPACE!

^ What I came to say. The army dudes practically laugh Vader out of the room when he starts going on about the force until he force chokes that dude. He was a stooge, but he thought he was doing something noble by following the emperor. The horrible things people allow themselves to do when they follow an ideology,…

That line is the definition of why “show don’t tell” is an especially important rule for writers, particularly in a visual medium. Like... George.... we get it... Make them stop talking.

George Lucas isn’t a great writer of dialogue and the prequels are huge examples of that. Harrison Ford was able to turn a lot of turds into diamonds and it helped that the stories in the OT were a lot simpler. Ugh, delivery is everything when the writing quality isn’t there. So many lines in the prequels make my skin…

It’s not pure goodness, but a piece of his former self. As Vader he’s more of a machine, both physically and as a tool used by the Emperor. But Anakin is in there and Anakin was complex and troubled and turned to the dark side, but there is still good in him and he can turn away from the dark side.

Obi Wan seeing his master die, mirroring Episode IV and giving his character some conflict with the force, all happened for nothing because Darth Maul was killed in the same movie. Dude should have been around for the whole trilogy to test Obi Wan in the same way Vader tested Luke. Bad writing—but I guess then they…

Naw, you can explain away any OT plot holes by saying: “something something the force.”

The OT hardly spent any time developing Han and Leia’s relationship, but we believed it! We got the “do you think a princess would go for a guy like me” line. The bickering between Han and Leia that was so wrought with sexual tension. A comment about being alone in the south passage. The kiss on Hoth. Then the line…

This is why the prequels failed. They shouldn’t have been about Vader and in the end I don’t believe they were about Vader. The prequels were Obi Wan’s story. He was the only character that benefited from the prequels. Seeing Ben for the first time in Episode IV after watching the prequels feels like a bigger deal. it…

I personally enjoy spending an entire afternoon cooking food for the week, because cooking is meditative to me and it makes my week go more smoothly. But I work every other weekend and then work the following week Monday-Friday, so I only get one day off every other week. On those weeks, I don’t have time to spend an…

I don’t understand why people don’t understand this concept.

I see non-poor people doing this too. Americans don’t eat well in general, couple that with having an actually stressful life. I eat junk food when I’m grumpy because of stupid stuff, imagine when every teeny aspect of your life is questioned and judged and you can’t pay the bills and you’re working multiple jobs to…
