Von Sidow *has* to play a baddie. He's a poor man's Christopher Lee anyway, and Lee has already been in Star Wars and killed off.  :lol:

Did you just call Ming the Merciless the poor man's anything? :angry:

Von Sydow has made lots and lots of crap over the years, including some dreadful Italian fantasy TV movies where he specialized in cheesy scenary chewing baddies. A poor man's Christopher Lee he is.

Well, so did Peter Cushing when he was cast in the first one. You can't make a Star Wars film without some washed-up B-film actor playing a villain, anyway.

Seriously.  Not to mention Brewmeister Smith.

I think he always felt snubbed that Lucas chose a different actor to play unmasked Vader for Return of the Jedi. And that he was never quite given proper credit for his part in creating Vader as a character.

He also didn't know about James Earl Jones being Vader's voice until he saw the film during its opening.

Lawrence Kasdan is writing it? Oh that's the best news I've seen about this so far.

No fucking shit.  Maybe he can save it from Lucas.

He has a point there I think.
