@steve1976ification I couldn't believe 'The Old Man' from Robocop was Grig either! He was also in Colditz wasn't he?

@whitemanstand72 : Xur's personality was the exact opposite of that. He was loud, manaical, arrogant, brash, and rather annoying. Almost like a spoiled rich-kid. I don't have a problem with seeing Lance Guest play a villain somewhere, but Xur is not the role and I already explained why.

[D2Kprime]

@whitemanstand72 : Nick Meyer was responsible for the two best Star Trek movies of the original series (Wrath Of Khan and Undiscovered Country) so he would be a good choice. Not sure he would want to though.

[D2Kprime]

@whitemanstand72 : Yes. There should be a ship comparable to the Gunstar and it should be more powerful in some ways than the Gunstar in order for there to be a struggle.

[D2Kprime]

@whitemanstand72 : As far as I know Lance Guest has never been cast in such a role so there really is no outward reason to cast him as Xur, but if they did it would be a slap in the SF fans. We don't need directors screwing up stuff from the 80s anymore be intentionally spitting in the faces of fans. Got enough of that crap with Transformers and G.I. Joe. I say either have Guest as a face (good guy) or leave him out totally and bring in a new, young cast.

@whitemanstand72 Having it short is what I'm afraid of...a saga like the LAst STarfighter has a lot of story to tell like the Ko-dan empre , Xur his story Alex and grid , after defeating Xur invading forces , ALex in traing new fighetrs and recruiting some from earth. Wht do earth govt think about their reaction. However I don't ant it o becaome to cheesy like Star gate series.

[whitemanstand72]

@whitemanstand72 I havent really thought of it properly but I will give my thoughts soon.

[whitemanstand72]

@D2Kprime THe director is a hard one Maybe Ronald D moore but I need to have a hard think on that. Abrams is good but ....hmmm another hard one. Nicolas Mayer perhaps and have a hint of Gary Kurtz :D ?

[whitemanstand72]

@whitemanstand72 cond. ANother Idea is have Xur has his own Gunstar. A modified upgrade refit Gunstar which is more stealther that gose up against Alex and Grig head to head near the end. just like the film Firefox or at the end of Topgun. This Gunstar is similar in shape and desgine but its function is more greater than the average Gunstar. the different in the gunstar is oke the difference in the Tie sries liek Tie inter. Alex and Gring is more robust whilst Xur is sleak and stealtheir, -

@whitemanstand72 cond, AS for "the Slap on the face" they are professional actors they are paid for the characters they act in. It doesn't matter. Maybe a few very Hardcore Star Wars FAn may raise an eyebrow for MArk Hamill as the empreror or spock planing an attck on earth in start trek but LAnce Guest ?......he is pretty much an unknown to a lot of people so to put as a villain would be great chance.

@D2Kprime No thats where I disgree I think Lance CAN pull it off so effectivily enough for Sci-fi haters to watch LAst STar fighter. I have seen him in documanetary and his has this calm , cool voice that is soooooooo perfect as a villain. The Xur in the LAst STar fighter (1984) was kinda corny like how one of the Kodan Commander reminds him that controllng an empire needs more than handling a staff. The Xur that I'm think doesn't get insults because he is feared and evil.
