The coolest Star Wars roundtable discussion ever


Geeks are cool.

Empire magazine conducted a roundtable discussion between Kevin Smith, Simon Pegg, and Edgar Wright, where these high-profile Star Wars geeks talk about all manner of things regarding a galaxy far, far away. The Mallrats auteur meets the creative forces behind Shaun of the Dead and they dissect Star Wars minutia. You bet I was in Geek Heaven when I read the transcript.

Beware that there is plenty of speculation (and some known spoilers) about Episode III, so read at your own risk if you want to be surprised.

How creepy. I just watched Shaun of the Dead last night.

How's the weather in Ohio?

Shaun of the Dead was third only to Garden State and The Incredibles last year. I've seen it more times than a well-adjusted person should. I like zombie movies and romantic comedies, so it is the perfect movie!

Weather's fine. It was sunny today, but a bit cool. But it was nice enough for me to throw a bunch of shrimp on the barby for dinner tonight.

I'm surprised that Kevin Smith wasn't employed as a consultant by the Star Wars production team.

I can only dream of a day when Kevin Smith, Simon and Edgar make a movie together, or at the very least one writes the screenplay while the others make the movie. *drool*

spydrz - He'd be great. Lucas already paved the way by adding fart jokes in The Phantom Menace.

Dave - That'd be awesome. Especially if Jason Lee stars.

I finally read it. All seven pages. Pretty cool, though I wish they talked more about the movies' timeline, cause I've been wondering about that myself! :D
