Can't remember if this was posted before. Vader's helmet looked kind of big for the actor. 3:24 made me laugh because it reminded me of this.

Kurt Russell is a great actor, for sure. But the role of Han Solo....just like Indy.....is and will always, only and ever be Harrison Ford. Alden Ehrenreich was better. than Kurt Russell or Harrison Ford??

than Kurt Russell or Harrison Ford?? Harrison Ford obviously, since Kurt Russell was never Han Solo. You could have meant it in terms of possible choices....ie, Alden Eisenreich was a better choice for the role than (what we could have potentially gotten in Kurt Russell). I know Kurt Russell was in the running...But personally, I think they chose correctly when they chose Harrison Ford. I'm sure you've seen the audition clips in Empire of Dreams....and Kurt Russell's delivery of the dialogue just wasn't the same. It would be the same for potential cast of Indiana Jones when they were doing readings with the likes of Tom Seleck and Peter Coyote (both actors I like very much, but I think neither of them would have made a good Indy. I just don't seem those two fitting the character as well as Harrison Ford did....and no, I'm not just saying that because I'm used to seeing him in the role. But watch the audition tapes of Tom Selleck and Peter Coyote in the bar scene with Marion....they just don't deliver those lines the same as Harrison Ford did. For one, Tom Selleck yells waay too much. Just like he did in "High Road to China" with Bess Armstrong; he was supposed to be playing a drunken, down-and-out pilot.....But all he did was yell. He couldn't deliver any of his lines in the entire movie without yelling. I get that he was supposed to be playing this drunken, down-and-out pilot who'd just been woken up with a really bad hangover and probably a splitting headache...so maybe he was supposed to come off as angry. But personally it ruined the part, and it made the delivery of his lines seem really forced. Consequently it also made Tom Selleck look like a worse actor than he really is. Like I said, personally I like both Tom Selleck and Peter Coyote. But. He did the same delivery with the character of Indy. Personally, I just don't think either actor would have been right for the part, including Kurt Russell.) But that is my opinion. Of course you are entitled to your own and I respect that. We each have our preferences, and that's okay.

That's a big reason I prefer Alden in the role: he actually made me like the character.

Isn't a light saber a focused plasma stream or something like that? If so, it is feasible that whatever contains and shapes the plasma is refracting light. The blade itself would of course emit light itself but if that is lower intensity than the bright backlighting, it is feasible that a shadow can be cast by the blade itself.
Should have used that argument against the 10-year old little know-it-all.

Should have used that argument against the 10-year old little know-it-all. A plasma stream in a magnetic containment field is the scientifically plausible explanation for what a lightsaber is (assuming you could handwave away a power source strong enough to manage that miniaturized to the size of a flashlight) But given the term "laser sword" that gets tossed around, It's probably supposed to be literally a laser that comes to an abrupt end about three feat away from the lens

Though looking it up on wookipedia, they say it is based on plasma and "laser sword" is just a term, used by the uninitiated that don't really know what they are talking about. I didn't check which sources wookipedia uses for that one though, that was as far as my nerdtrest went on this topic.

IIRC the reason it has a length is that it's actually a loop, like a solar flare extending outwards then going back down.
Can't remember the source and it's almost certainly not canon anymore. I remember hearing about it roughly around the time I was playing the old Starwars D6 P&P RPG some 20ish years ago. (Which may in fact be the source, but again, don't remember for sure.)

'Cause a coronal loop is literally exactly that, a stream of plasma trapped in an electromagnetic containment field.

Agreed. If only the sequels made sense on any level. Ben/Kylo is the only redeeming thing about them & even his arc is a bit silly (especially in the end)

That wasn’t the argument. They said there was only one good thing about the movies, so I provided two more examples.

Prequels beat the sequels by a country mile and music. A lot of the sequels' music were rehashes of old music.
