He literally plays a major role in Episode 5 and helps destroy the Death Star in Episode 6. Saying he's "forgettable" is borderline racist.

Shame they didn't ask him back, it would have been nice to see him with Han again before he died, actually it would have been nice to see Luke with Han again too.
Maybe they'll consider him for the 3rd Movie.

Sadly Billy Dee Williams is in a pretty bad way, I met him a couple of years ago and he is already showing early signs of either Parkinsons or dementia. Still a lovely chap to chat to, but definitely the ravages of time have hit his body hard already.

He was able to do this:



Although I think something is going on/went on that we don't know about. I remember back before TFA, Billy Dee had to leave Dancing with the Stars early to film some stuff for it. But we know he's not in TFA.

Boyega's story arc looks cool.

There won't be any Dark Side Luke. We know from the leaked scuttlebutt that that's a mandate for the marketing only. i.e., making people think, "Oooohh... did Luke go eeeevil?"

No, he didn't. And Hamill is probably playing along to the company line with his "I was aghast when I read the take on Luke in this!"

You mean...Luke.
He's always been a crybaby.

Well...he IS Anakin's boy. The "dark side" thing might be dubious, but the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in other respects.

I predict this will be the "Citizen Kane" of Star Wars movies.

This movie does have the power to completely redeem the last one for me. I am rooting for Johnson to nail it. If it does not, though, things will be past the point of no return.
