To be expected, GL did make Greedo shoot first (not to mention the shit with selibate Jedi's, with Midi-chlorians flowing through their veins, wearing desert hermit robes all the time everywhere) so I wouldn't really put anything past him. He'd certainly do it if he thought that it would help at the box-office.

Besides Jackie couldn't possible be half as bad as Jar-Jar, noy even if he intentionaly tried.

I wonder if Chan would play some kind of Jedi or Sith.

I wouldn't have anything against it, with the exception that the movie might focus a bit too much on Chan's character. However, I'd like to see a Star Wars movie show a martial artist who's NOT a Sith Lord or Jedi Knight.

Chow Yun-Fat isn't that great of a martial artist though. The only time he's made a decent showing of it was in CTHD.

Which is why Kenobi won. :twisted: :P

It was hypothetical? Good.

It's not nearly as bad as having N'Sync in the films, or Jar Jar, but I really don't think he'd be right in the SW films.

It would be interesting to see someone who can actually fight other than a Force-user. Surely martial arts must exist in the SW galaxy other than lightsaber usage.

Probably, but for a good martial arts fight, some time will need to be spent to actually explain the characters and then show the fight. Really no point to it as far as Episode 3 and the stuff it'll have to cover goes.

wtf...

I can imagine them making up some new lightsaber weaponry just for Chan. With him in it, Ep3 would be more of a comedy.

Remember that old game SW: Masters of Teras Kasi? Teras Kasi was a martial art, right? :)

There is. Its called Teras Kasi or something like that. Teras Kasi artists can effortlessly kick a stormtroopers ass when he has a blaster.

EDIT: Oops.. I should read the whole thread before i talk.
Yes, i've played masters of teras kasi, but it was also mentioned in Shadows of the Empire

Remember that wee thing about game mechanics. This seems to be one of those times.

Chan would make a good stormtrooper. I would love to see a stormie throw down his blaster rifle and open up a can of ninja whup ass on an unsuspecting rebel soldier.

Maybe "Rumble in the Force"? Argh, that hurts physically.

Not if they get Jet Li for the role. They could give him a pair of force-pikes and have him effortlessly shish-kebabing armed Jedi Knights. :lol:

I wanted Nysnc in AOTC because they were originally going to be shown and killed in under 10 seconds.
