idk how Ray Walston got roped into this movie

wait the fuck that’s the - is that the gardener from Starfleet Academy who used to be an admiral? I want to say Boothby

Yes that’s him, Boothby. He was also My Favorite Martian in the 50s (and in the crummy 90s remake) and one of the teachers in Fast Times at Ridgemont High and the judge on Picket Fences (among other roles).

“ Luke escapes the Death Star with his father’s body and flies out through the flames.” - requested (x)

I wish he’d flown out of there with Anakin’s corpse strapped to the roof like a shot moose.

I have this this image in my head now of Luke, in a large flannel jacket, hunter’s cap (with the ear flaps) and driving a pickup, with vader’s corpse strapped to the hood of his pickup, pulling into a gas station where’s Han’s waiting for him.

“Good going kid!”

“I didn’t mean to kill him, he just darted in front of my truck!!”

“well why didn’t you put him in the truck bed?”

“That Palpatine feller is a lot bigger than he looks, I didn’t have space for both there.”

“…feller?”

“Yeah…that’s what hunters say, right?”

“Oh, Luke….”

personal space what’s that

deep space nine, personal space none

MY CARSONA WAS IN MY FAVOURITE BD

Udo Kier always looks like he’s in the middle of swallowing something

And it tastes just awful.
I remember when he was Dragonetti in Blade and I spent an embarrassingly long time thinking his name was Dragon Eddie.

if your name is dragon eddie I expect there to be a dragon involved. Tattoo, transformation, pet, whatever.

#did the crippled engineer have a name?

The credits just call him Mechanic (a lot of the characters within the compound have descriptions rather than names, like Warrior Woman and Curmudgeon - and, to my irritation, The Captain’s Girl.  She wasn’t even with the Gyro Captain when we met her, she appeared to be a doctor or nurse, she had a pet dog (like Max!), and when the Captain tried to persuade her to sneak away with him in the night before the battle, she turned back because of her compassion and sense of duty, and he went back with her - whether because he saw she was right or because he didn’t like his chances alone.  I would argue that it was because of her influence and help that the Gyro Captain was able to lead the Great Northern Tribe - indeed, I would rather think of them as co-leaders.

Anyway, she deserved a description that described her and the character-defining things she did, rather than making her sound like she was only important in relation to her boyfriend.  Or just a human name.  Trish!  She looks like a Trish to me.)

Also, I know there was no dickishness behind this word choice because I know you, but “disabled” would be a better description for the Mechanic than “crippled.”  

One of the things I really like about the Mad Max films is how they show characters with physical disabilities (I’m not so keen on the way they depicted mental/developmental disabilities, e.g. with Blaster) taking an active, important and sometimes heroic part in events.  This guy couldn’t walk, he figured out ways that he could get around and do his job, he insisted on going on the tanker mission because he wanted to help despite the danger, his community couldn’t have succeeded without him.  In the Mad Max world a disability doesn’t make you helpless or useless, lots of people have them (which is entirely realistic), and you find ways to get on with life because you’re a survivor.  This is rad.

see and I was leaning towards hobbled.

Ah yes the “Captain’s Girl.” I call her The Woman Wearing a Blanket.

well this is just all kinds of fucked up

why would Leia wear that skirt
Leia is just not a short skirts gal
Leia wears long skirts or pants and that is just that
otherwise this is awesome

I don’t think she had much choice in the matter here. She’s basically under house arrest so I think this outfit was provided for her.
