Well, at least Nick Frost doesn’t get to ruin the SW universe the same way that Simon Pegg ruined the Trek-verse with “space monkeys”.
(And anyone else read “Popular comic in a SW movie”, and immediately flash back to Greg Proops as the two-headed race announcer in Phantom Menace? Er, no thank you.)
I think they should let me do all the stories. After all, I started Star Wars (from The Star War, a 1963 novella now magically lost. I’ve been “consulted” on all but one of the films. 5 vicariously (I came up with YO! (who me?) DUH! Yoda! with a little help from US Trade Representative Ron Kirk whom I did not want to see kicked out of the Dallas McGovern office.) 6, they did entirely without me. Sigh. That was probably the best one, huh? Anyway, I got them to remake 4 in 7 and that worked out OK. My eight wasn’t as well accepted, but nine did blah, I could have made it VERY successful if they’d just given me more input. I could still edit the dog into a cunning hound if they’d let me. Rogue One worked out. Rogue Squadron? Not very original.
My name is on Elliot’s frog-lab doodles at least, eh, Stevie?
