Now that sounds interesting. I hope they get an old-school composer to score it, like Shire. I wonder if any Wilson balls will be in there... ;-) If there are, they should be shot a la the chickens in "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid." The SJW crowd will shriek and seek counseling, no doubt.    Posted:   Aug 17, 2018 - 2:58 PM     By:   Warlok   (Member) I don't want to see a Tatooine spin-off. Not every place or character or element requires or necessitates a filmic exploration. If an Obi-wan film finds itself eventually on Tatooine, fine. He *did* end up there. Makes sense. Instead of doing a Tatooine film, why not do a tale that takes place on a planet that has *similarities* to Tatooine but is not Tatooine? Is Bespin next? Hoth? Tattoine was a little-known backwater. You can call it that all you want, but if you do so in film after film after film after film featuring it, you've lost it. Tatooine becomes a featured celebrity locale merely by virtue of its remarkable frequency. Often background lore retains its contributive mystique only for as long as it remains background lore. Explore it too much and you lose that. I was very pleased at the quality of Rogue One's exploration of the Star Wars backstory element, but lets please view this as an anomalous exception. (Admitted Disclosure: more Darth Maul. And inherent mauling.)    Posted:   Aug 17, 2018 - 4:21 PM     By:   Scott McOldsmith   (Member) Tattoine was a little-known backwater.

Agreed and Lucas himself kinda botched it by making it a bustling hub of activity not only in the prequels but in the special editions.    Posted:   Aug 17, 2018 - 4:40 PM     By:   jenkwombat   (Member) To this day I thought those "pods" on the right side of the screen are those (4) pods on the sides of the Eagle Transport from Space 1999. Always thought of it as an "in-joke". Probably were. Many of the same "guest stars" who appeared on the godawful Space: 1999 also appeared in Star Wars; David Prowse, Peter Cushing, and (albeit much later to the Star Wars universe) Christopher Lee. Several of the Rebel Pilots and Imperial Officers are recognizable as well. And, somewhat similarly, the "pod" from 2001: A Space Odyssey appears in The Phantom Menace (in Watto's junkyard) as a tribute to that film...    Posted:   Aug 20, 2018 - 3:58 AM     By:   Sigerson Holmes   (Member) Of course, the recycled movie plot, as a Star Trek plot, is itself a recycled plot. https://pastimescapes.com/2016/11/13/watch-star-treks-take-on-the-enemy-below-in-balance-of-terror/ --Not that I'm complaining. You get some good episodes that way.    Posted:   Aug 20, 2018 - 7:47 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) Of course, the recycled movie plot, as a Star Trek plot, is itself a recycled plot. https://pastimescapes.com/2016/11/13/watch-star-treks-take-on-the-enemy-below-in-balance-of-terror/ --Not that I'm complaining. You get some good episodes that way. I'm just glad they did a major rewrite for Trek II, which was very close to Star Trek's second pilot "Where No Man Has Gone Before " and had no Genesis Device. As much as I enjoy TMP I'll admit it was way to close to The Doomsday Machine and The Changeling.    Posted:   Aug 20, 2018 - 3:35 PM     By:   Scott McOldsmith   (Member) ... the godawful Space: 1999 OMFgoodness, I loved Space:1999. Loved it. Both years.    Posted:   Aug 20, 2018 - 3:42 PM     By:   Justin Boggan   (Member) Speaking of "Space: 1999" ... it's being remade.    Posted:   Aug 20, 2018 - 4:15 PM     By:   riotengine   (Member) TRIVIA---in STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN, the Battle of the Mutara Nebula, in which the USS Enterprise duels the USS Reliant, is based on the movie THE ENEMY BELOW in which a Navy destroyer escort duels a German U-boat. In THE WRATH OF KHAN, the USS Enterprise and Captain Kirk (William Shatner) battle the USS Reliant and Khan (Ricardo Montalban). In THE ENEMY BELOW, the USS Haynes and Captain Murrell (Robert Mitchum) battle a German U-boat and commander von Stolberg (Curt Jurgens). Um, not really. :O The classic Star Trek: TOS episode, Balance Of Terror is actually a very well done remake of The Enemy Below. Watch the Trek episode and Enemy Below, back-to-back. I have watched ST:TWoK and Enemy Below many times and any similarities would be extremely superficial. Yes, there is a WWII-submarine-style space battle in a nebula. That's where the similarities start and stop.
