Saw Antman tonight and watched the Star Wars trailer again. Why does Han Solo look 40 years older, but Chewbacca hasn't aged a day?

Because in that Galaxy, dog years are like 7 human years

Saw Antman tonight and watched the Star Wars trailer again. Why does Han Solo look 40 years older, but Chewbacca hasn't aged a day?

Kinda like how at 900 years old (minus 20 years) Yoda's doing spinning lightsaber battles with the baddest Sith guys ever, then in Episode V he's running around with Luke training him, then a year later he's barely crawling into bed and dying...
(And don't get me started on how he can gasp out "there....is.....another....sky....walk....errrr...." instead of "Leia your sister is")
Talk about falling off a cliff...

He's like Asian men. They look great until they hit age 70 and fall off a cliff, usually getting much shorter, barely able to walk and their face look like it was melted from a nuclear holocaust.

You have to remember that he had to use the force to keep his identity and location a secret. Same reason why Obi Wan aged so much in just 18 or so years.

I'm not sure what you mean... I don't remember any movies other than the three they made. If you're talking those fan-films that were popular in the 90's, they frankly don't even bother to match continuity, so why bother trying to think about them?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

My hope is that the rebellion ended up like a failed insurrection, and the empire remains, but in a weakened, chaotic state... a grand civil war like The Romance of the 7 Kingdoms or something.

Sounds like I might be getting my wish.

Wookiees live 200+ years; if he aged 40 years from young to slightly middle-aged, he won't look like he aged much.

I just looked and standard wookie lifespan is 400 years.

Are you aware of the Mr. Plinkett reviews of the shitty-ass prequels? If not you're in for a massive treat.

 

[stampedehero]

Man, I'm a LotR hater because of the perversions that Jackson's doing to the story, but I've never come across fanboys as dickish as the commenters on these trailers. I liked this rebuttal to them:

"You can't say the movie sucks based on 88 seconds because the movie isn't made yet. JJ Abrams doesn't know what it looks like yet. He's a month into post-production."

JJ Abrams at the helm.....Instant Success.

These are amazing. I watch them every year.

Fucking nailed what's wrong with that movie. I was utterly disappointed

The guy behind the Plinkett persona has some real film criticism chops, which just makes the takedown that much more damning.

Mike Stoklasa.

He and Jay Bauman made a pretty good horror-comedy called Feeding Frenzy a couple of years back. Worth the 7 bucks for the digital download from their site if you're into campy B movies in the style of Ghoulies and such.

Also, you owe it to yourself to subscribe to their youtube channel just for 'the Half in the Bag' and 'Best of the Worst' series.

I'm thinking of buying a lightsaber. Not that I get pissed fucked up drunk a lot anymore, but it'd be fun to swing around whenver i'm wasted.

Obviously this is racist. They are trying to hide a black man in a white costume.

I know this is a bit old, but it can still give some chuckles

at least they didn't give the black guy a purple lightsaber again, George Lucas is so entranced by BBC.

at least they didn't give the black guy a purple lightsaber again, George Lucas is so entranced by BBC.

Samuel L Jackson asked for it to be purple.

"We had this big arena, this fight scene with all these Jedi and they’re fightin’ or whatever. And I was like, well s---, I wanna be able to find myself in this big ol’ scene. So I said to George, "You think maybe I can get a purple lightsaber?"

Although Lucas pointed out that lightsabers traditionally only came in red or green, Jackson responded with some pretty powerful logic: "Yeah, but I want a purple one. I’m like the second baddest Jedi in the universe next to Yoda."

Ultimately, said Jackson, "When I came back to do reshoots, [Lucas] said, 'I want to show you something, this has already caused a s--- storm online.' And he had the purple lightsaber! And I was like yeah! And so I could find myself in that big fight scene. There's like 300 lightsabers, and I'm like, ‘There I am, right there.’"
