Abrams at 12o clock. Then clockwise its Ford,whoever and Fisher leaning on chair arm. Mark is at 8oclock in plaid shirt leaning forward. Looking great__thinner with mustache and beard?
Wow, lotsa meanness here directed at Carrie Fisher. I hope you all look fantastic in your late 50s.
That said, I have to say my inner child was thrilled to death to see Hamill, Ford, and Fisher in the picture taken at the table read today. Who knows if the film will be any good, but they were my childhood idols and it’s nice to see them together for one last hurrah.
Hahah!!! Nice!
They DO look like robot camels....
It occurred to me that the rule in that family should be “no children after dad dies. Period.” Teach them to have kids early and be done with it.
Here’s that scene... entire Hoth battle.

It’s still dramatic.
Enjoy!
Good point, that Teddy Bear Army scene did look cheap.
They front loaded all the special effects in the third movie (Return) and then ended the trilogy with the midgets in bear suits hitting the Storm troopers (who had blast guns) with sticks, pretty lame little kid stuff.
Man that ending with the Teddy bears singling and dancing and they are all smiling and OB(Alex Guinness) comes back as a ghost was a pretty painful ending.
I did love the SNL Satire of the first move, 'Beach Blanket Bimbo from Outer Space' with Carrie Fisher in the Bikini, she was really hot in those days.
No.
Thanks notsofastmyfriend.
Harrison Ford got the call about the job in the original Star Wars while shingling a roof. He was doing odd jobs to stay alive, and had a book out of the library that told how to shingle.
Carrie Fisher et al, on Big Bang Theory. Mudfence alert:

Don’t know these guys. Whether this is part of Lucas’s real storylines or not, I have no idea.
After the six films, and being part of the initial fan wave and book buyer, from that fateful May in Denver, CO., 1977, through to seeing the evolution of Darth Vader unfold on the big screen, shortly before the landscape forcibly changed by Hurricane Katrina, I closed the book on that saga.
Now, in the time of movie houses being shot up, and those same houses standing on the stupidity of a gun-free zone, and the price of the concessions making a solo trip to the movies more costly than a steak dinner at a mid-scale steakhouse, George, I ain’t got it to give ya!!!!
Mark Hamel? NCSI: Star Wars?
“..that ending with the Teddy bears singling and dancing and they are all smiling and OB(Alex Guinness) comes back as a ghost was a pretty painful ending....”
Agreed... it was cheesy.
But the speeder bikes and Chicken-Walkers (AT-STs) were cool.
I have the same amount of interest in these new “Star Wars” crapfests as I do in smelling Lindsay Lohan’s breath - NONE!
These films, like the last three will be at best, subpar when compared the the original trilogy.
They’ll make a gagillion dollars, for sure, but they will suck. I’ll predict they’ll suck worse than the last three that were made.
And who in their right mind wants to shell out anything to see Hamill and Fisher? Even Harrison Ford is ehhh...
I pass. The only positive I see is a spike in the price of collectables, then I’ll sell what I have left.
Ping to 155.
Didn't I just hear...YEEEEESSSS?
Yes, from "The Blues Brothers."
She looks like Mrs. Jabba the Hut!
“Ol’ Max is certainly no stranger to sci-fi.”
He also played the hit man in Three Days of the Condor, a personal fave!
