Heh. "Data tapes" Oh future.
You mean the past ;)
"A long time ago..."
wait so he was only 31 is Star Wars? I always thought he was much older.
I've met him several times. Not to long ago with my oldest son. He was really awesome and such a nice guy.
Yeah, got to meet him as well somewhat recently. GREAT PERSON, as pretty much every other cast member of the original trilogy is. Very British, very nice, very grateful to meet YOU, such awesome people.
Same as those I've gotten to meet from the prequels, despite peoples' immense disdain for everyone & everything involved w/ them.
Temuera Morrison alone is just AWESOMENESS & he was great to get to talk w/ for a moment. Same as Ray Park, who is not only THE DARTH MAUL, but also SNAKE EYES.
But, hey, just screw anything cool, at all, to do w/ those films, just think "Jar Jar trumps IT AAAAAALL" as manically as you possibly can. :-/ *smh*
That's cool. I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr LeParmemtier, myself.
Temuera Morrison was awesome in 'Once Were Warriors'. If anyone is perplexed why he was cast as Jango, watch that movie!
Temuera Morrison is AWESOME.

...and, for us, learning more about the Mandalorians, in the films and especially in the novels, has just added awesome going back since the very first... Well... Mandalore the First.

...then there's Cassus Fett... ;-)
Anyway, learning more & more "new stories" about the Mando'a is like one of those shows that "uncovers old relics/facts/discoveries/etc" of this or that culture. But, hey, that's just me. Don't care who hates it or thought "seeing the guy behind the mask/hearing the stories/etc" made it lamer. It didn't to people who like it!
Yeah I'm one of he people who didn't like what they "revealed" about the Mandalorians - just my own personal taste in the direction they took. But like you said, for many they liked it (like you)! Which is fine - we all have our own tastes. We as fans often fight amongst ourselves, but need to remember that we are really all fans of the same stuff! :)
