I can't really judge this guy's voice acting skills, since all I've really heard him do is roar.

If it is the guy in the chewie suit, that roaring wasn't him. They dubbed the roars and chewie noises over into the movie in editing.

At least he'll have a better script to work with than he will with Revenge of the Sith.

You can hear Peter Mayhew's voice on a few Star Wars documentaries here and there, particularly the new ones in the original trilogy box set. He has a lovely, soft British voice.

I'll be very interested to hear him. There are too few good British actors doing anime voice-overs; I hear some Americans attempting British accents and cringe.

Wow GATSU, is it really that bad? How in the world did you get your hands on the script? They're usually so hush hush with all the lawsuits and all. Rolling Eyes

greenwolf: We all know Lucas doesn't have a script, which is why the last two prequels sucked so badly.

Rather, he did have a perfectly complete script. Bad side - Lucas wrote it himself.

Actually your wrong there as usual. GL had the Prequel story arc lined out in notes he wrote when he wrote the script for the oringal Star Wars Trilogy and sense the SE of the OT, he has been working on the script for the Prequel trilogy now mind you the first two scripts did stink but whos to say Ep. III will.

Gee, I don't know if the Star Wars Hater or the DB Hater in me should come out and blast this news.

Haisekoh: Go for Star Wars. Unlike Lucas, at least Toriyama knew when his 15 minutes were up.

GATSU, Maybe you should set an example to Lucas then and learn how to stop.

Anyway, you have in the past judged a movie before it's even out, and that alone is a pretty pre-mature mature move. Not only that, but then you go as far to bash the movie which you haven't even seen, and try to spread your opinion as fact.

GATSU, do yourself a favor and keep your mouth shut until the movie comes out, then go out and buy yourself a movie ticket and actually SEE the movie you want to critic so badly. Only then will you have every right to complain and bash.

Do you wake up everyday and say "I'm going to post ignorant, inflamatory, and negative comments all day long! La La La!"?

15 minutes . . .? By that do you mean 10+ years?
