Gurges-Ahter Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 From what I understand about Mayhew's knees - he had "wobbly" knees, meaning they wouldn't lock out properly, and that made it very difficult for him to walk. Similar to what Darth Avlectus stated, I've heard many cases where knee replacement absolutely changed the quality of life for people. Hopefully this is the case for Mayhew. Given a few months of rehab, he should be able to walk just fine. As for any crazy Tarzan stunts, I'd imagine they'd go with CGI anyway - whether it was Mayhew or not. As for his age - I believe he's actually younger than Harrison Ford, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astor Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Cast of Episode VII Announced Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film. Max von Sydow. Awesome. Haven't got time to look up the other names yet, but Max and Andy Serkis are awesome. EDIT: Oh, and John Williams returning as composer. Obviously.

Alexrd Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Oscar Isaac is a nice surprise, but no Billy Dee? EDIT: Oh, and John Williams returning as composer. Obviously. I believe they had announced that back at Celebration Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurges-Ahter Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm excited for Max von Sydow, and curious to see how they use Andy Serkis. I'm also glad that I don't recognize many of the names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I honestly can't believe I'm reading this. I never thought I would see the say when the original cast would appear in another Star Wars film. <one tear> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought I would see the say when the original cast would appear in another Star Wars film. <one tear> Well, they almost had to at this point. There were reports that Hamill, Fisher, and Ford were hanging around the studio recently. John Campea called it the worst kept secret in Hollywood last summer.

Ser'eck Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I got really excited when I found out Max von Sydow was a cast member, that guy is AWESOME! I wonder if he will be the new Chancellor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Campea called it the worst kept secret in Hollywood last summer.Yeah, I was thinking more from a last few decades standpoint. I mean, since 1983 the official stance was there would never be episodes 7-9. The Big Three seemed to imply they would never do it again. Star Wars was done. And yet here we are. My whole life I never expected it to happen, and even though there were the rumors recently to see it become reality is really amazing to me. We'll see how it turns out, but for me right now all signs are positive. I guess I am having a religious moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkonium Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 It's confirmed: The film novels are canon whenever they don't contradict what's on screen. So, Kit Fisto being decapitated with a smile on his face is still non-canon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RotS novel is one of the best SW books ever and explains a hell of a lot that isn't covered in the film. The character motivations make so much more sense.
