i always thought Kirk and Janice Rand should have been a couple. I read that was originally Roddenberry’s intention. It would have been nice if this happened. Actually why hasn’t Janice Rand showed up at all in this or Kelvin Universe.

A true fairy tale ending. I wish the movies had Jaina (Jacen’s twin) in it. I liked how she embraced the Jedi side and Jacen ended up going Sith. Ben is Jacen in the movies. I also preferred how Jacen was a hero and got involved with the New Republic then went Sith bringing about a civil war.

Producers recast lead stage roles for movies all the time. Hopkins didn’t steal the role. It’s how the movie business works. Ethel Merman was the lead in musical Gypsy and movie producers cast Rosalind Russell instead.

Karl Urban was fantastic as Caesar. I thought of all people late Kevin Smith had a bright future in Hollywood. He would have been a fantastic Batman. I am shocked Hudson Leick didn’t have much of a career after Xena.
