-- 1st they killed off Harrison Ford. Then Carrie Fisher died 4 real. Now Chewie's gone. Yep Star Wars has jumped the shark
Yeah, hard to fix it after that.
Not with CGI. The creative force always lies off-screen anyway, so the director can just add-in characters nominally played by dead actors. Han Solo, on the other hand, will have to remain dead.
Or different actors. Alec Guinness, Carrie Fisher, and Peter Mayhew are dead. But think of Star Trek: Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, and James Doohan are deceased. It's hard to believe that William Shatner is approaching 90 -- but it is true.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
