King Mark 3,631 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I don't really see why it wouldn't be in the movie, but I'll be surprised if it's more than just something that passes by in the background.Honestly, that's exactly what I expect it to be for. Looks like alien crowd filler for a marketplace. Something like that doesn't need to be front and center or attract attention.Yes, it's also for Wave 10 of the Hasbro action figures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 So in the end...isnt it ironic that a new Star Wars film is going to have the 'lets use muppets and not CGI everywhere' sentiment that the hobbit was going to have with Del Toro?That's not irony.Ironic has become the new word for "funny".

Not a trendy thing of today....i think you could see them in the senate pods from farprobably, but i have promotional close ups of wookie senators, alderaanian senators, mon calamari... that they looked like they had a little scene...they did a fully animatronic calamari head (i think) and we dont see calamari (at least close) in any of the prequels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Actually I can understand why some woman take issue with it. 'Musician' and 'artist' apply to both sexes, so why should the acting profession be any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,722 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Well to steer us back to the topic I have to say that the token (hopefully) appearance of the original trilogy trio as old geezers might be a nice nod of nostalgia if they keep it sweet and brief. Of course so as not to take away screen time from non-melting people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brónach 1,302 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Wish there were some females here to find out what they think about the actress thing, but oh well. The sausage party continues.I understood that in modern English actor referred to everyone and actress, with the French suffix, to women? I don't see the big deal. I wonder what the word for this was before the 16th century, as actor is also a loan.(In Castilian it's actor and actriz, but the terms are exclusive. Some jobs have gendered words and some don't.)

nightscape94 965 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Actor isn't one of them. The english word is non-gender specific.It doesn't make a difference to me, quite frankly, since I am unaffected by it. However, many female actors completely dislike the term "actress". If you listen to acceptance speechs, many of them even go out of their way to refer to themselves as an "actor" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,798 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 It would have made more sense to make 'actor' the exclusive male word than eliminating a word from the dictionary.Don't English people see that their language is already a little crippled regarding gender words?I still don't know how the f*ck i'm supposed to differenciate between male and female cousins, if no other references are given!

Jay 37,415 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 What's even more annoying than that is the dual definition of "Brother In Law". It could refer to my sister's husband, or my wife's brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am concerned that it won't be anything particularly original when compared to all previously existing films. They might prefer to preach to the fanbase retreading stuff. But one can hope.
