Maybe for the first time I understand the need to remake a movie and update to new sensibility. Of course that then begs the question of the number of plots.

As fans know, I dep'd for Jeremy for two days on ESB in the scene with David, Billy Dee and John Hollis (Lobat). Boba says the line, "He's no good to me dead." The day before, I asked Jeremy the usual--"What's my motivation?" "How do you want me to play this?" He said very simply, "Play Clint Eastwood." So when Darth Vadar entered to my right and came around to face me, I very slowly and deliberately moved my head mechanically from my right shoulder to face him squarely. I thought of my move in terms of a radar tracking him, not so much for communicating to him, but rather as man-machine weapon system that coolly and continuously regarded him as a target that Boba was ready to take out in an instant.

Will it be a direct adaptation (like Senate Spy, based on Hitchcock’s Notorious)? Or will it be more of a loose inspiration, like The Man With No Name Trilogy had on characters like Boba Fett and Cad Bane?

I am interested in film history and I found this fascinating. I may have to check out those spaghetti westerns pretty soon.... Thanks for the great entry, Bryan.
