I have a bad feeling about this...
They have a great chance to make this a true reboot and introduce us to new memorable characters. Instead, they're gonna play it super safe and go with the warm-and-fuzzy "remember these guys?" vibe.
And no offense to any of the original actors, but I do wonder what kind of energy and authenticity they can bring to the characters at this point. I mean, I think Harrison Ford is great, for example, but there was something about his performance in Indiana Jones 4 (beyond the awful script) that was just...off. After so many years away from the characters, I think something just gets lost along the way.
And the "a number of other characters" reappearing just has me picturing a bunch of self-aware cameos that are just there for the hardcore fans and add nothing to the story. Like "hey, look at that guy in the background, everybody...it's Wedge!"
Hmm, maybe I'm the one that's irritable now...I think eps 1-3 made me very cynical about the handling of the franchise.
