Star Trek vs. Star Wars (and a collection of memes)

We all know this is the bedroom of a 50 year old. No judgment. I want to get my son a sleeping bag that is a tauntaun with the zipper being a small lightsaber. The inside looks like intestines, too pricey for my budget but I like it.

 

If this isn't on your tailgate, you don't drive a real truck.

 

I'd be surprised if they didn't age a little but Beru is not 19 years older.

 

This is one of the niggling issues I have with the PT. Specifically, I feel like each of those characters were cast too young (despite how much I like Ewan). I'm sure it's just that actors tend to look young b/c we like young looking actors, especially female actors. Regardless, when I think of them in the OT, they just don't match up. I'm probably being a too much of a stickler, but I can't deny that it bugged me.

Generally, I think the cast and story could have skewed a bit older. Maybe Anakin and Padme both as teens at least. Obi-wan likely as a late 20-something Jedi Knight.

EDIT: It turns out that Ewan was in his late 20s during the filming of Phantom Menace. He plays Obi-wan younger than that to me. So, perhaps he should have been a 30-something Jedi?

 

Movies just hate to have any actors who aren't young in them. Have you seen the movie Red? All the actors are older and high level for skill. The movie is a treat and we see actually acting and not just action stars. Excuse me, I need to load the Maltese Falcon into my player, I need to cleanse the pallette and see a movie with pacing and good acting.
