Yes, but let’s be honest…

The worst part of this is that Wookiepedia doesn’t exist anymore. Fandom.com fucking ate it.

Is there a writeup about what happened to it?
Why can’t we have nice things anymore?
Now that is upsetting. I remember it being such a good resource as a star wars obsessed early teen
Seeing Obi-Wan in a suit is weird as hell
He’s suffering from success
Unironically I will always remember Alec in Tinker Tailor before Star Wars.
From a certain point of view.

You gotta have a legitimate British theater actor in your space wizard movie to sprinkle in a touch of authenticity.
…Ewoks ate each other? That’s pretty metal, honestly
And got in a tug of war with Gary Oldman over who people think of when they say “George Smiley”
For some reason I pictured Gary Coleman and this post is now hilarious to me
I haven’t seen Guinness as Smiley, but I watched The Spy Who Came in from the Cold with Richard Burton as Leames (and apparently a guy called Rupert Davies as Smiley, and holy moly was it boring.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy was slow af, but I at least found it watchable.
I thought the BBC tinker tailor and Smiley’s People was really good, understated performances. But I’d read the books a few times so caught a lot of the cues.
sing it with me folks Donald! Has only got one ball!
