For instance, what's this I've heard JD>about the cantina scene being redone with old aliens removed and JD>newer "flashier" ones inserted in their place? I'd assumed they would be the same aliens, just looking more realistic. But you're right, now that I think of it - there is the rumour that the Max Reebo band is going to be totally replaced. Personally, I was celebrating that one because I never did like that band, which is why I'd forgotten that one. JD>Not a fair comparison... Daleks are like Klingons almost: other JD>writers are free to play around with them... I mean, when was the JD>last time Terry Nation actually penned a Dalek story? Well, anyhow, That's what I meant (I think; memory is going): other people are free to play around with the Daleks, and have, so if Terry Nation stepped in and said "they're non-canon", it would be a really anal move. But with Star Wars, everything but the original movies has much less authority, so if George Lucas wants to change something it won't really screw things up so much. Which doesn't mean everybody has to like it, but he certainly has the rights. I just wanted to use Daleks to maintain some semblance of on-topicness. (Speaking of which, do you think we should move this back to the Star Wars echo?) JD>JM>JD>Why not just bring up all the Star Wars actors who had appeared JD>JM>JD>in Doctor Who? JD>JM>Because I don't know any... :-) JD>Oh, come on...Think! Sure, I don't know em All, certainly not by name JD>(and even those I do I probably can't spell them correctly, or just JD>know them by the characters they've played)... JD>Dave Prowse - The "body" of Vader, he was in at least one Doctor Who JD>episode "The Time Monster" where he was the "body" of the Minotaur... Did not know that - never heard of "The Time Monster" (must've been before my time - I've only been around since Davison, and I was really young then...) JD>Jeremy Bullock - He was Boba Fett and was in at least 2 Doctor Who JD>stories (Some distance apart!)... He was a character in "The Space JD>Museum" during Hartnell's era, and later played Hal the Archer in JD>"The Time Warrior" during Pertwee's era... Again, before my time... JD>The bald fellow who played Lobot in The Empire Strikes Back played JD>that bald scientist in "The Mutants"... Never heard of it again... JD>Julian Glover played General Veers in The Empire Strikes Back (the JD>feller who lead the ground assault on the rebel base)... He first JD>appeared in an historical Harnell episode playing some king ("The JD>Crusades"?)... Later, he had a meatier role in "City of Death" as JD>Skaroff/Count Scarlioni... This guy's been in practically everything JD>(several roles on The Avengers, Space: 1999, I think even Blake's JD>7)... He was also the villain in Indiana Jones and the Last JD>Crusade... Hmm... I didn't know that! I don't know any of the actors for bit parts in Star Wars, which is why I'd never heard of him, though I'm sure I've heard the name in connection with something else... JD>Peter Cushing was of course Tarkin and "Doctor Who" in the two JD>feature films... And like Glover, appeared all over the place over JD>the years... Yeah, I knew that one (see! One! I know one!) I'd thought we were just counting the TV shows... JD>Who'd I miss? I dunno...
