I think Carrie Fisher would have been offered alot of work but she had no real interest in it she was more interested in her writing..Hamill would probably have been the biggest surprise that he didn't get more roles after...not that I'll always remember this post apocolyptic film he did afterwards and it was ribbish at the time...I think it was called Slipstream...it was a general flop too

As for the others I guess they are very specialised kind of actors....the majority were a mixture of dwarfs and giants

Though Warwick Davies played the title role in Willow and was very good
he came across as a very jolly little guy... I liked him

Funny you mention that about Daniels K because part of me was thinking that and there is two sides to every story and I have to say I did feel they went too far out in the middle of a very hot desert leaving him in a suit like that... though in saying that I did also feel he was probably extremely difficult to get on with

Peter Mayhew is probably suffering that same condition alot of giant people suffer from later in life......where bones and stuff are still growing and it effects their walking....though he did seem in good spirits and obviously still enjoys fan base

And yep I knew about Jeremy Bulloch too

he was the village leader that used to help the outlaws

I still preferred the original Boba Fett voice...they showed a clip of the new voiced version of Boba Fett on the show

My sister would lynch your Carlos for even suggesting replacing Michael Biehn in Terminator K

But what's so great about Michael Biehn? He's just some bloke, he's not Luke Skywalker

What's Michael Biehn done since Terminator?

Yes, I preferred the original Boba Fett voice- was that done by Jeremy Bulloch or some other person? Now they've given him an Aussie/ NZ accent so he sounds like he's questioning everything

I think Mark Hamill should have done what Shathead did about Kirk in Star Trek i.e. embrace the role and not try and escape it

But maybe Mark is worried about his face/plastic surgery he's had.

He was in Aliens too

As for Boba Fetts voice...no it wasn't Jeremy but added in ...the original voice was much grittier and slightly angry sounding and your absolutely right K the Aussie accent sounds awful and does sound like he's questioning everything

I actually believe Hamill got a bit of a raw deal from the programme to be honest and I do feel that a false impression of the guy was given because as far as I knew Mark Hamill was always willing to promote Star Wars and his involvement...years ago he used to do an awful lot more interviews about it than Ford or Fisher were at the time ...because before Lucas even contempleted the prequels it was always Hamill I used to hear talking about the possible sequel trilogy ...and he has also parodied himself in other stuff and movies

The accent is because George Lucas got Temuera Morrison, who played Jango Fett and his clones in the prequels, to redo Boba's voice for a rerelease of the origineal trilogy. I don't like it either, it just seems wrong, even in the Star Wars computer games ( he's in both the 'Battlefront' ones reprising his role).

Yes, I thought that was why. Its silly- just because Jango was played by a Kiwi, why on earth would his clones have the same accent?

Nonsense. The original voice was better.

I remember Hamil talking about a sequel trilogy. Makes me laugh though, as George Lucas keeps contradicting himself. First of all he said he originally saw Star Wars as a stand alone film, then before Empire came out he said that the whole trilogy was originally the first draft of the first film then he realised that he had enough material for three films. Before Phantom Menace came out he said he was doing the prequel trilogy as he wanted to know where the characters came from and why they were the way they were. Later he claimed that he always had the prequel trilogy written at the time of the original trilogy and during the same interview he spoke of it all being part of a 9 chapter story and that there would be a sequel trilogy. Couple of years later he then says that he there will never be a sequel trilogy as the six films tell the whole story. The poor bloke doesn't know whether he's coming or going.

The only way there'll be more is if you read some of the extended universe books/fan fiction. Lucas is too preoccupied with squeezing as much cash as he can from the existing films....

Yep I'm with you K on the guys voice and accent I absolutely detest his voice on the Battlefront games too....he manages to make everything sound whingey in that game like he doesn't want to be there fighting

and him born for that purpose

The original voice was much better and cooler sounding...I really don't know what possessed Lucas though I find myself asking that question about Lucas alot the last few years

And your right Jip he has contradicted himself so many times on this whole Star Wars parts he had planned or hadn't planned in the past...and I have no doubt that he did say about there being nine parts to Hamill sure why would hamill lie about it years later? Personally I hope there isn't any more now after the disasterous Prequels unless of course Lucas does the decent thing and gets in other directors like he did with the original trilogy...we might then get some decent Star Wars films

Unfortunately Morphy is spot on too and Lucas is only interested in profit and on how to market and squeeze every bit of cash from these movies rather than making really good films which is a shame really

My only hope of some possible decent future Star Wars to watch is the real life Tv Series that is in production at the moment..I hope Lucas lets others take the helm a bit more

yeah i think lucas should birng the ideas and let others direct , he probs could make 9 or more parts to the movies and also a killer tv series if done right ,

bullocks voice was much better as boba , the only one thing i do understand is that at the endof jedi when luke sees his father and yoda and ben , i knew he would change anakin to hayden's
