And this is…sorry, what, exactly? " Lucas creating something like this when he made the first Star Wars ( or right after ) " Yes that's Ralph McQuarrie concept art of the Emperor's Lava Cave Beneath Vader's Castle on Mustafar for early thoughts on Return of the Jedi.

So that was originally planned for RotJ? Interesting! As I wrote, I could see something like that, but I imagined it would have been earlier. While he’s more of the dark wizard in the first one, I find it difficult to imagine him on a throne in a castle, as he’s so (seemingly) loyal to the Emperor, who definitely would be sitting on a throne in a castle.

Oh and that thought, a dark cave below structures like Vader's Castle, the Jedi Temple on Coruscant (in the book Tarkin), and the cave below the First Jedi Temple on Ahch-To, along with the Kyber mines below Jedi Temples for the construction of the Death Star, is a recurring theme of hidden places below these structures. And it all goes back to original McQuarrie artwork and Lucas ideas.

By the way, guys: Have any of you seen the ’73 Three Musketeers? (If I’m remembering correctly, Primemovermithrax Pejorative liked it.) I wasn’t that big a fan, in spite of a great cast, but I recently caught the second sequel, The Return of the Musketeers (’89). I thought it was great, though it flopped at the box office and had a terrible production (actor Roy Kinnear [Mr. Salt in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory] died because of an on-set accident). Recommended. Anyway, point is… Here’s Oliver Reed in Return of the Musketeers. Here’s Mark Hamill in The Last Jedi. And the characterizations are nigh-identical, including the reluctance to get involved again and needing a new hero to re-interest them in old adventures. (The difference is that this reluctance and shift in characterization fits with Athos, Reed’s character, but not with Luke Skywalker.) The villain isn’t even that far removed from Darth Horseface (though she’s female and a better character). I’m almost positive someone watched these (and they have Christopher Lee in them in a part not that much different from Count Dooku). On the other hand, The Last Jedi would have been much better if it had followed Return of the Musketeers’s plot points.

I watched an older Three Musketeers recently--I have seen the 73 film although it has been a while. The connection I saw between it and Star Wars was the sword duel with the fireworks blasting off around them--*could* it have inspired Lucas and the light sabers?

I don’t “hate” RO ( I actually enjoyed it in theater ) The Force Awakens... at least felt like Star Wars... Rogue One doesn’t. Agreed.

’K. I think my library has it. By the way, another sci-fi flick I’ve long wanted to see is The Black Hole (’79), the Disney film–and I see it’s available for free on Internet Archive. I’ll let everyone know when I watch that too–has anyone here seen it? archive.org/details/TheBlackHoleMovie

It seems to be “love it or hate it.” I don't know how to answer that, as a kid we liked it, but we didnt have too many sci fi films to choose from, it was no STAR WARS thats for sure, i havent seen it since then, so i dont know how well it has aged, i would go ahead and watch it though, if i were you

There's also the Ewok tv movies if you haven't seen them. I cant remember the second well, but I do remember the Gorax! Should have been in Return of the Jedi.

I know we talked about this before, but honestly this is the guy’s best performance as Darth Horseface–as well as being hilarious.

Sorry, folks, of course it’s just been checked out of the library. So—The Black Hole?

^^^^And, because it’s not Star Wars, I guess I’ll put comments on the “Salzmank Reviews” thread. But does anyone know if Solo is supposed to be on Netflix soon or something?
