I'd call it a cash grab if, given the gag in the original, that wasn't the entire self-aware point...

[F-ZeroOne]

"Oh, no. Not again!"

[Chronocidal]

I absolutely love his statement in the teaser.

"After 40 years, we asked, 'What do the fans want?'

But instead, we're making this movie."

If only the ST had been so bold.

Also love they're targeting it for the 50th.  Just poetry.

[Dynaman]

I would have been excited for this if not for that dreadful History of the World show.  If it gets good reviews I may see it at the theater but will probably be waiting for netflix, amazon, etc...

I’m awkwardly curious about this one

[Thom]

He's almost 100, we jut have to let him know he has nothing to lose by going all-out! He needs to be possessed by his 60 year old self. 

[Bolt]

I am totally tickled 

There's so much newer awful SW content to make fun of, they're going to have a hayday 

Can't wait!

Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis are also returning.

[Hikuro]

I wonder what they'll do to fill in the roles of Dot and Barf then. 

[Duke Togo]

I've got a bad feeling about this

Nice, haven’t seen Rick in anything in years, maybe decades

I hope they don’t do a recast, but a fun memorial instead

Lewis Pullman will be playing Lone Starr's son, Starburst.

Same; although maybe a "Dot 2.0" or something may be good if handled the right way.

He moved away from the industry after the death of his wife in 91, in order to better care for their kids. The last time I heard anything about him was in 2020 when he was assaulted while walking down a street in Manhattan.

I remember that incident, I also think there was an interview over his old show anniversary a few years back. But not much else

That definitely wouldn’t be as bad as a straight recast

Right? And it would allow for the new version to have her own persona and idiosyncrasies, so a new actress (or actor, since it may be a "son") could make that role truly their own.

[sh9000]

Prophecy fulfilled.
