[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cartman: [QB] [i]So I would say that the Star Wars actors for the most part didn't exploit there "It Factor" at the time and turn it into other prominant roles as actors from other huge franchises have.[/i] OK, time for some mental gymnastics. Of the [i]Die Hard[/i] flicks, who have exploited their It Factor, again? Samuel Jackson was pretty much everywhere after [i]Pulp Fiction[/i], Rickman went back further, Irons had long theater roots, and most of Willis' work has been of the straight-to-video type. Next... Of the [i]Indiana Jones[/i] franchise, who have exploited their It Factor, again? Ford was already on the [i]Star Wars[/i] bandwagon, Rhys-Davies was an acclaimed stage man like Irons, and Connery also went back further. Next... Of the [i]Alien[/i] quartet, who have exploited their It Factor, again? Sigourney Weaver hasn't done much more than Fisher, Hurt, believe it or not, went back further, and Biehn and Henriksen have kept their profiles below sea level in recent years. Next... Of the [i]Superman[/i] movies, who have exploited their It Factor, again? Certainly not Reeve (even before he was paralyzed), and Hackman and Stamp went, guess what, back further. Next... Of the [i]Predator[/i] popcorners... erh, those shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as [i]Star Wars[/i], and that's irrespective of your political persuasion. B) Now, I'll grant you [i]The Godfather[/i], because it had heavyweights like Brando and Pacino (Brando... heavyweights... get it? GET IT?), but, really, only the [i]Lord of the Rings[/i] trilogy (which stands on the shoulders of veterans McKellen, Lee, and Rhys-Davies) is anywhere near [i]Star Wars[/i] in terms of influence and ensemble cast, and it's too early to tell what it will do for the carreers of Woods & co. So, in the words of another [i]Aliens[/i] actor who has since undeservedly slid from the silver screen: GAME OVER MAN[i]!![/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
