I know I mentioned this before but I gotta say Almost Human is just getting better and better.

I don't take hints well, Tar.

**Big Head want Dolly** · 12-09-2013, 11:39 PM

Thanks for the presentation, Tar

It makes me want to avoid watching that even more

a new hope · 12-10-2013, 06:06 AM

Well I didn't make it

Found it on Tumblr

**Violent Delights** · 12-10-2013, 09:09 AM

I recognised the style

I usually skip past them.

**Big Head want Dolly** · 12-11-2013, 01:35 AM

It did seem like something from tumblr

**Violent Delights** · 12-11-2013, 12:28 PM

there's one for most things

I know that the whole point is for them to look crap, but I just can't get past that

Rumor time once again

Looks like we'll be seeing more British actors in the upcoming Star Wars Episode 7 movie as director J.J. Abrams admits that "It wouldn't be Star Wars if there wasn't some fantastic actors who happen to be British," as told by Abrams to author Neil Gaiman. "But I think we're doing our job and looking everywhere for the best possible actors for the roles."

With the movie about to start filming in London early next year and with the casting call being closed, the more important question right now is who will be included in the cast of the most awaited sci-fi film?

"Nothing is more important," Abrams added about the recently concluded casting process. "There are things that are as important, but nothing is more important than casting a movie great and I have been incredibly lucky to be involved in projects that we've had wonderful casts and wonderful casting directors to make it happen.

"The last thing you want to do, when you're collaborating on something, is work with people where you have to do their job for them and kind-of give them notes every way. You want people who inspire you and elevate it."

Meanwhile, with all the rumors circulating Star Wars Episode 7 casting, the only character that has been confirmed for the movie is R2-D2. The much loved astromech droid will be back to put a smile on everyone as it was seen in a photo posted on the movie's website along with Episode 7 director and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy with the creators of Artoo, Matt Lee and Oliver Steeples.

The return of Harrison Ford, playing the much-coveted role of Han Solo, also sparked together with the rumors about Han Solo's always-unreliable spacecraft, Millennium Falcon, already built in the studio and just waiting for the movie production. While singer James Blunt revealed Carrie Fisher reprising her role in Episode 7 with a possible hint on Star War's recently launched official Instagram account posting an image of slaved Leai's.

Lucasfilm and Disney Movies already announced that Star Wars Episode 7 is due to hit theaters on Dec. 18, 2015.

of course, we're great.

**Big Head want Dolly** · 12-13-2013, 01:36 PM

Plottwist: he will cast the original cast and have the film take place in a home for the elderly Jedi

a new hope · 12-13-2013, 11:57 PM

As long as I get my Han/Leia I'll be happy

If only this was real

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Cast Themselves In Episode VII

(...)

But it was a high-profile project on the big screen that truly lit up their faces, as Fey and Poehler revealed that they have scored roles in the new Star Wars film as… Darth Vader’s mothers.

POEHLER: “He has two horrible mothers. We know a lot of father stuff with Star Wars, and not a lot of mother stuff. We play these really naggy mothers of Darth Vader.”

FEY: [In an elderly New Yorker accent] “Darth, eat! Why don’t you eat?” That kind of stuff.

POEHLER: “You’re never gonna find a girl when you go out looking like that!”

FEY: Making him practice his Jedi stuff for hours.

POEHLER: Hitting on all his Jedi friends inappropriately. I feel like the theme of the next Star Wars is going to be: How does a working mother juggle it all? I’m looking forward to that. What I like about all these giant superhero movies is that they speak to the issues that I’m dealing with right now — working mother and time management and how to be an interesting, sexual, curious woman in your 40s. That’s the kind of stuff that I like to see on the screen, and that’s what I see with a lot of the films out today.

And what does J.J. Abrams, who will direct the next Star Wars installment, have to say about all of this? Reached via email for comment, he told EW: “The exciting thing about having Amy and Tina play the Vader Moms, as we’re calling them, is that they bring to the film that pitch-perfect Star Wars energy fans are clamoring for.”

He would not, however, confirm the rumor that R2-D2 and C-3PO will be played by Adam Scott and Jon Hamm.
