Fanclub X-wing Series Fan Club: Home of the Dancing Gamorrean

I'm happy with this.

 

I was trying to figure out someone for a good Hobbie. I guess since he was in ESB and had a few good facial shots, unlike Janson, who had a few side-of-face shots but not really much more, I just pictured whoever-it-was that portrayed him in ESB.

But if there were a Wraith/Rogue TV show or movie today, I'm just not sure who I'd cast as the Hobbie to Donnell's Janson. Can't think of anything simultaneously dour but goofy enough, not off the top of my head. Give me some time...

Yes, Renner was the perfect casting for Donos, IMO.

Couldn't think of someone for Lara; someone with dark blond (or light brown) hair, I think.

I...don't know who Baldwin is, so I'm sticking with the other guy.

 

...Adam Baldwin. Jayne, from Firefly?

I'm not as concerned with hair color for Lara, since she changes it frequently, and wigs/dye are very helpful things.

 

OMGOODNES JAYNE! That would be hilarious. But... could I dispell knowing him as Jayne??? Maybe more hair or something and diff clothes of course. And no cunning hat.

 

I really need to watch Firefly sometime.

 

Well, Allston did say it was about 10-15 years before Firefly, so I don't know if he would be a good Trey now. But someone of that physical type.

 

DO IT

 

YES DO IT

 

Who knows? Saffron might show up here too. Malcolm Reynolds

 

Ooh, that makes me think about casting Jewel Staite as Dorset Konnair...

 

I'm thinking David Paetkau for Castin Donn.

 

Rooney Mara would be a fantastic Dia.

Iella - I think I've decided that Romola Garai would be perfect for her.

 

If she had long hair, Samira Wiley is pretty close to how I picture Shalla - the big smile in particular.

She looks perfect! And wigs do exist.

 

OOH, this looks fun.

(All I've got for now) I've liberally borrowed from some pretty rad shows.

 

Wes Janson has to be hawt though.

 

Not sure about that but I think he hits the mischevious right on the nose

 

Okay, well he is kinda cute...

 

I love your choices for Hobbie and Iella SnubJockey

 

SnubJockey what show is that one for Wes Janson from? (wow, it's been a long time).

Also, Caode this is the series I think you might like.

 

Michael Shanks and Ben Browder should play Hobbie and Janson. (Image heavy.)

Spoiler

Derek "Hobbie" Klivian
"...it's worse than that."

Spoiler

Wes Janson

...and Claudia Black should play Isard.

It's not my intention to wholesale import the cast of SG-1, they're just too perfect.

 

LOL Love it!

 

It's from Steven Speilberg and Tom Hanks' Band of Brothers, which Premiered on HBO in 1999

It was bloody, heartwrenching, and not strictly historically accurate to what actually happened, but it followed a squad of Paratroopers through WWII Europe and mixed intense combat with squad cameraderie



A ton of folks got minor parts there, from Simon Pegg,


to Tom Hardy



And James McAvoy



It was followed by "The Pacific" which was a grimmer look at the Marine campaign in the Pacific:



Both are some of the best television I have had the pleasure of viewing. The efforts of the production staff, the character interactions and the topnotch writing were what I would love to have seen, had an X-Wing series ever been made.

If you guys want some squad interactions for writing inspiration and a high tolerance for depressing stuff, give them a view. (Not for the faint of heart or stomach though)

 

I watch things like Supernatural and Grimm and Bones I don't think it'll be hard to watch. That does sound interesting, thanks. Where/how did you ever find it?

 

I watched BOB when it aired when I was a kid, after I read the book. I caught the Pacific by borrowing a DVD set from a friend. They're both HBO shows, so there are DVD sets out there, and may be available on HBO go.
