I actually might agree with this (at least when it comes to the Trek movies).

Yeah, ST's always been better in long form. The movies have never been as consistently fulfilling as the series have been.

Having said that, I know nothing about Galaxy Guest.

By Grabthar's Hammer, you need to rectify that.

This is probably gonna sound really lame, but is it just the Tim Allen movie? Or is also a series? Or what?

Shame on you all.

Spoiler: show

There was a rumored scene a while ago involving Luke wielding a lightsaber in a snowy burning forest next to the Millennium Falcon.

Gary Kurtz wrote:In the meantime, George had worked with Stephen [Spielberg] on Raiders of the Lost Ark. He was convinced by the end of Empire that it needed less serious stories and more rollercoaster ride. He changed the story outline for Jedi and we had a kind of mutual parting of the ways, because I just didn’t want to do another attack on the Death Star.

The original story outline that we had for the third film I thought would have been great. It was darker and it ended up with Luke riding off into the sunset, metaphorically, on his own. And that would have been a bittersweet ending but I think it would have been dramatically stronger.

I had some written materials somewhere. It was about how are we going to resolve the story of these three people; one of the discussions was about Han Solo’s character being killed in one of the raids in the middle of the story. Harrison wanted it to be that way. He wanted his character to end that way. So there was that and there was the princess having to take control of what’s left of her people, and be crowned queen.

But I think what happened was that there were discussions with the marketing people and the toy company. They said, “Oh, no, you can’t do that. You can’t kill off one of your main characters. It’s too salable.” In a way that still happens today with superhero movies. There’s no poignancy anywhere. It’s just a lot of action. But there’s no threat to any main characters. I guess that’s inevitable in this kind of situation where nobody wants to lose anything like that that’s important.
