About Star Wars but in a different way


I know, I know, there are too many posts, articles etc. about "Star Wars". But I'll try to make it different.
Listen to this:
and then you can start reading, cause you'll be in the right mood:)
First, I'm a huge fan of this saga. It's the best "fanfiction" ever made. And I don't want to upset anubody, but it's not a scret that "Star Wars" are inspired by "Lord of the rings" by JRR Tolkien. George Lucas was so fascinated by this trilogy that he wanted to make an adaptation of it but he was afraid he wouldn't succed, so he made first "Star Wars" (which now is called "New Hope" but originally there was no "episode IV: New Hope"), than when it turned out to be a smashing blockbuster, he decided to make more movies about Luke, Leia and Han. What is surprising, nobody who was shown the first episode by Lucas, wasn't fascinated, or didn't even like it, only Steven Spielberg said it was good, but I guess it was just because he and Lucas are BBFs.
Harrison Ford didn't like too much Han Solo, he wanted him to be killed in the fifth episode (that's why he's frozen) but eventually he agreed to appear in the 6th episode.
Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) was the only one actor who knew about "Dad Vader" because originally the lines were: "You don't know the truth. Obi Wan Kenobi killed your father" instead of "I'm your father". The actor was delighted about it and he didn't say a word about it, and after first screening Harisson Ford turned to him like "You never told  me that" and Hamill had to explain why he couldn't say anything.
There are a few kisses between Leia and Luke (who are twins) but when they started to shoot the films, noone thought about it and it's in the sixth episode, when they come out with this idea.
They also chose Yoda as the one who says only the truth - that's why he's the one who admits, that Darth Vader used to be Anakin Skywalker (for the truthers).
And there was another ending scene, where when Darth dies, Luke wears his helmet and says: "now I am Vader", but the ending we all know is much better (at least for me).
Now there are many ideas, conspiracies, plots, theories about Luke's absence in the trailers and posters for the 7th part, but it's all on purpose, because Mark Hamill signed an NDA and J.J. Abrams has some special plans for him. But still I found one intersting article about it and I've chosen it as my reading assignment.
In general, Mark Hamill is a totally awesome guy, his Joker's interpretation was just flawless and he will be forever Joker's voice. He set up standards really high and now everybody seems to copy that or at least inspire too much. Well, let's hope Jared Leto will come up with something new and brilliant, although I think his Joker will be a total psychopath. (there's nothing wrong with that) But Hamill is a quite shy and genuine man, he didn't want to get this role, because he thought he wouldn't be good at it, and it's such a legendary villain for Batman, has so many fans all around the world, but he did it just perfectly. Here's the interview where he talks about it:
 


 Here are samples of his talent:




And here's his improvisation of a dialogue between Luke and Joker:


But in the Joker's words "Why so serious?"
Let's see the other site of "Star Wars":


















I had no idea princess Leia had so many love interests!






And now they look like this:
They're in a pretty good shape, aren't they?

Back in a flash!



So... "The Flash". The TV show considered by many people as the best one about superheroes. Well, let's just say I'm not totally agree with that. I can't feel any connection with the characters. I really like Barry Allen in the comic books and in the animation, but here, he's likeable, but, there's something about him that I don't get. Of course there are many other people I love, like the villains. Like the Trickster. Portrayed by Mark Hamill (I really love the guy, he's soo scary! I mean his Joker voice over was excellent! and he played and still plays Luke Skywalker!!!). Or Zoom. And I'm really excited for the crossover with Arrow. There are many sets off for The Legends of Tomorrow but I'm still fangirling about the Hawk couple.

The only limits are in your mind




So the new show "Limitless". I've seen the movie a few years ago and it was good - I think it could be a lot better than it was, so I was a little bit disappointed, and I was affraid to watch the show. But I read some reviews (all positive) so I've started to watch it. And I'm not disappointed at all. The main character is a pure human in a good way. He-s just a regular, good guy. Then he gets that pill it's called NZT I suppose and suddenly he has access to every information in his brain. And in the way more real than it was showed in "Lucy". So Brian becomes pretty famous in FBI and starts to work for them as a consultant. He also has to save his a** sometimes because one of the senators (and the main character from the movie) has somme special plans including him and Brian is still not sure if he's safe. He becomes friends with one of the FBI agents - Rebecca (she's portrayed by the actress known for starring in "Dexter").
It's interesting how much infromation our brain can get and just save it somewhere deep inside of us and we can't get there and use them. This show presents the mysteries of our mind with a grain of salt and Brian's mean and sarcastic comments.

So I definitely recommend it!
