TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands.
To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.
I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.
I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.
I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all.
At least ask any roles he'd think he can take (like one of the commanders) than just putting him into the musician suit again, if it can be granted, he'll have it.
@Magoose The Negaverse was meant as a present for you so... Do you want to Pick?
As to the turn plan. I want to see what Brandon is up to and if he needs help. There have been hints in the last few turns that he might need something.
Beyond that I want to see what the Gophering option does and am always down for Wally and Mary interactions So seeing What they cook up in ILM should be interesting.
[]Return of the Jedi (George): You want to go with George's plan for the Movie, make things a little better.
[]Return of the Jedi (Dave): You want to go with Dave's plan for the Movie, make things a little better.
[]Revenge of the Jedi (Lawrence): Lawrence has Mike backing him, and you think that things can get a bit messy, so you will see what Lawrence wants to do.
[]Finding Actors for the side characters: You need to flesh out those side characters. So time to bring in some great actors
-[]Write in who you wish to cast for new actors.
I have to ask Magoose, what exactly is the difference between all three plans, especially Dave since he's an OC. Also for Side Characters, any confirmation on characters besides Pellaeon and Bel Iblis?
[]The King has Come: Elvis needs a favor, he wants you to direct a concert he is having, in exchange for… well something.
-[]What do you want from him (Please don't extort the man, and be reasonable)

That's going to be something that the miniturn for those choices will give, as I am going to let you pick and choose from the list of stuff they want to do, and either put it together or ignore them all. George and Lawrence will have ideas from their drafts at play while Dave's will carry my own flair of what I think should occur
As for side charecters, I'm leaving it up to you guys in the write in.
How about a Commander who is initially distrustful of Han Solo because of his Smuggler background but slowly comes around and respects his heroism, in the climax he takes a shot from a Imperial Sniper plasma bolt meant for Han Sacrificing himself to protect what he initially viewed as a dirty criminal.
A Rebel medic who darts across the battle treating the wounds of both Rebel and Army troopers alike not caring on whether they wear the White or Brown with their only field hospital being a nearby home. During a heated battle Storm troopers would enter the house and would raise their weapons on the medic intent to kill the medics and the wounded Rebels but before they could fire a officer would shout ceasefire and ordered the soldiers to back down, the Imperial Commander would scan the Area seeing wounded Rebels and Army troopers, some being an inch of their life from passing away. In a rare moment of humanity the Officer would Declare the house as a sanctioned field hospital forbidding any Imperial soldiers from targeting the facility. The officer along with his StormTroopers would leave the building with the Medics and the patients sighing in relief before the medics returned to treating the wounded.
(I know that this is basic level with the latter likely being scrapped because "Imperials showing too much Humanity" or the scene will likely fail to make the side character recognizable or the scene remembered)
Personally, I think Pellaon and Garm Bel Iblis are enough additions to the movie as it is. We are going to have to flesh them out and, with the addition of a longer space fight, we have enough time to do so while also keeping to the film's further developement of the main cast. We must remember that every addition means either taking time away from another character/scene/battle, or at worst adding more time to a movie that is already going to be pushing it because we gave George the go ahead for his epic space fight.
We have either one or the other, but we can't have both. Budgetary reasons (as well as having enough time for the characters as well) make it unfeasible.

It might still work. Like highlight internal conflict and the nature of the two forces by having the stormtroopers reject and declare the officer a traitor only for the wider group to start shooting each other(Or the dissenting stormtroopers just get killed by 'friendly fire' and the officer states a cover story). Highlighting the stormtrooper's nature as indoctrinated enforcers of palpatine's will, and could serve as a peek into the inner workings and the corruption of the empire.

If we have the budget for it I'd like to have Admiral Trench as a background character. He was one of my favorite villains in Clone Wars and I think it'd be cool to explore a villain to hero story about separatist holdouts joining the rebellion at some point.
When I watched this cartoon back when Nickelodeon actually knew what to do with their programming and Nicktoons (though nowadays I do wonder if perhaps they gave Butch Hartman a bit too much leeway) I remember thinking that it was a fun if quirky one, though at the same time I found it a bit aimless. Like, one of those cartoons where you just throw situations at the character to see how they react, but with no overall story. I mean, sure there is how Jenny is trying to live through teenage issues, but there never seems to be much consequences, or any reactions about her being a robot besides the first episode.
That is something that could be just put to the side I guess, but it just rubbed me wrong is what I'm saying.
Still, they did great with what they had. I loved the episodes when Jenny had to deal with finding out about dreams or when she faced Vexus and the Cluster. Sheldon was good for a laugh, and the Silver Shell was one of the funniest additions to the series. Frankly, I think the entire series peaked when the season 2 Finale "Escape from Cluster Prime" was shown, though I would have wished if it had lasted longer than a 2-episode finale.
It is kind of a shame that the series has not made a comeback like so many other cartoons have made, almost like it was forgotten, though not by many if what I found in the internet has shown me. However, I believe that perhaps having it made as an anime, with a bit of a more serious plotline and a central story, would have made more memorable, not to mention that having more episodes with which to work with can only help for the writers to find new and exciting ideas with which to work with.
Thus, I give you:
Anime Pitch: My Life as a Teenage Robot GENRE: Action/Adventure/Drama
SUBGENRE: Science Fiction/Comedy
FORMAT: Anime TV Show
Set Up: The story follows the life of Jenny, a super-powered robot with a chip on her shoulder, but a heart of gold. Her primary function is protecting the planet from any disaster. But, like all teenagers, she has her own ideas about how she would like to live her life. Unfortunately, an endless array of global disasters and otherworldly villains keep cropping up, and that's not mentioning the constant attacks by their deadliest enemies, The Cluster.
- Earth has been dealing not only with Aliens but also mystical creatures for a while now.
- Earth has been in a constant fight against "The Cluster" for years now, as such there is a prejudice against Robots and AI, even as they make use of technology.
- Jenny is not the sweet naive girl, but instead more tomboyish and surly due to the prejudice against robots that Earth has. Even so, she still yearns for friends and those she can trust.
- Skyway Patrol is an actual efficient organization, if somewhat hampered by red tape and bureaucracy. The reason Dr. Wakeman left was because of their growing prejudice towards AI, and the danger they may pose towards XJ-9.
- The series is a serialized story, with some episodic takes, but that nonetheless moves the plot forward.
- Dr. Locus and Melody Locus serve as more than just one-time villains. Dr. Locus is a member of Skyway Patrol who, in reality, is a double agent for the Cluster. He built Melody Locus in order to aid him, but was eventually found by Skyway Patrol and imprisoned. Unknown to the Patrol, melody had already been released, and was unaware of her origins.
- The XJ Sisters will play a greater role in the story after their introduction in the middle of it.
- At the beginning of the story Jenny manages to win some approval after saving the city from a Cluster attack. Through the rest of the series, she will face both the good and bad side of humanity, but will persevere with the help of her mother and friends, eventually gaining the approval, respect and admiration of the world.
- Vega will be a constant enemy for Jenny, but will eventually come to see how the Cluster are treating not only humans but robots as well. She will eventually defect and take over the Cluster in the Finale, allowing for peace between both sides.
- Drama and characterization will allow for shifting dynamics through the story, and 2-to-3-episode arc will be the norm, save for the finale which will have a 4-part-arc, which will adapt the "Escape from Cluster Prime" arc from OTL.
- Not all episodes will deal with a fight or with facing the Cluster. Many of the episodes will deal with teenage troubles, as well as the trials and issues Jenny, or her friends, need to face. A couple of episodes or more will also have The Cluster's point of view in order to see life on the other side.
Jennifer "Jenny" Wakeman/XJ-9: She is a state-of-the-art robotic protector of Earth, armed with advanced weaponry and devices at her disposal. She tries to balance her life with duties of a crime-fighter while attending high school and proceeding with teenage endeavors. Though a tomboy and usually surly (mainly due to the constant fights and distrust she receives) Jenny does want to fit in and have friends to whom she can relate and have fun. She enjoys listening to Rock and Heavy Metal.
Seiyu: Minori Matsushima Alternate: Kazue Ikura
Dr. Noreen "Nora" Wakeman: She is a brilliant scientist specializing in robotics, a former member of the Skyway Patrol, Jenny's "mother", and creator of the XJ series. She used to be widely respected and famous, her face appearing on many magazine covers, venerated as a renowned scientist. However, after Armaggedroid was subverted and defeated, she started work on the XJ series, before the growing attitude against AI Robots grew too much and she had to leave.
Seiyu: Makoto Kōsaka Alternate: Miyoko Aso
Bradley "Brad" Carbuckle: He is Jenny's best friend (though not his first) and a friendly student at High School that helps Jenny acclimate once she manages to convince her mother to let her go there. He is known to be very adventurous, and a ladies' man and he tries to get other girls to like him; however, many of the girls he tries to flirt with reject him. Brad dislikes being on the sidelines, and is also observed on many occasions as being stubborn. He intends to join the Skyway Patrol in order to help Jenny in her fights.
Seiyu: Hirotaka Suzuoki Alternate: Bin Shimada
Tucker "Tuck" Cornelius Carbuckle: He is Brad's younger brother, and Jenny's first friend. He has a hyperactive personality and is easily excited.
He and Jenny become friends as he looks at her fight off a Cluster attack and finds her awesome. Tuck enjoys joining Jenny, his brother Brad, and their friend Sheldon, when they go on adventures. Tuck also tends to rely on Jenny to help him with problems he faces, and Jenny occasionally becomes exasperated with him.
Seiyu: Masako Nozawa Alternate: Mari Shimizu
Sheldon Oswald Lee/The Silver Shell: He is a "geek" stereotype, heavily invested in both science and comic book culture. He has a crush on Jenny, but despite his affection, he never is able to get Jenny to go out with him, and the two are simply close friends (though it took a while for Jenny to warm up to him to that point). Whilst normally sweet-hearted and intelligent, Sheldon easily becomes jealous of any boy who shows affection for Jenny. He also built a robot he uses as a suit known as "The Silver Shell" in order to aid Jenny to fight against the Cluster.
Seiyu: Toshio Furukawa Alternate: Yasuo Yamada
Vexus: She is the reigning monarch of Cluster Prime and leader of the Cluster, one of XJ-9's most recurring foes. A cunning and cruel robot queen, Vexus is bent on the enslavement of the human race. She and Dr. Wakeman have been opponents for what must have been quite some time, and Vexus was likely the inspiration for Jenny's creation. XJ-9 typically can outwit and outperform Vexus, but regardless, she has the resources of an entire planet to call upon. Occasionally she does gain the upper hand, typically through trickery and sabotage.
Seiyu: Mayumi Tanaka Alternate: Masako Ikeda
Krackus: He is the Chief Inventor of The Cluster. Though often seen as a "crackpot", even by his own race, and on many occasions his equipment or inventions have broken down. However, Vexus is the one who remembers his successes more than his failures; the Cluster Drones, Cluster Ambassadors and Cluster Scrapyard Officers are among his chief creations which allowed for the better offensive, management, and logistics of the Cluster. Oftentimes, flashes of his brilliance are able to be brought to bear on his enemies.
Seiyu: Chikao Ohtsuka Alternate: Ryūsei Nakao
Smytus: He is the militaristic commander of the Cluster forces. He works under Queen Vexus, though he is independent in nature and is often known to go off on missions of his own. Being the battle-hardened commander of the Cluster's military, he is a military genius, and wields very powerful weapons and rather ingenious schemes which he utilizes in attempt to thwart Jenny and take over Earth with his Cluster army. Smytus is very arrogant, self-centered, and ruthless. He has a loud, domineering voice, often boasting of his power and demanding respect and praise.
Seiyu: Tesshō Genda Alternate: Kōsei Tomita
Armagedroid: He is Jenny's most powerful "brother", designed by Dr. Wakeman about 20 years before Jenny's creation in order to protect Earth from alien invaders and destroy their weaponry. He is the size of a city block and possesses an arsenal of weapons, all of which to serve his programmed duty of disarming and destroying enemy weaponry. Though successful against Aliens, he was subverted by the Cluster, and severely damaged by Dr. Wakeman to prevent him from being used against Earth. Now, he waits for repairs to be finished to extract his revenge.
Seiyu: Kenji Utsumi Alternate: Hideyuki Tanaka
Ruby Rocket: She is a discarded project from Dr. Wakeman that the Cluster managed to acquire, repair, and then repurpose against Earth and XJ-9 in particular. As the discarded "sister" of Jenny, she holds immense anger and jealousy at her for being the one that was chosen to be made instead of her. She is a ruby-red rocket-shaped robot, with high speed, and explosive power. Though not possessing as many multipurpose weapons as Jenny, she makes use of what she has like a pro.
Seiyu: Eiko Masuyama Alternate: Rumiko Ukai
Snarus: Snarus is the Head intelligence Officer of the Cluster. A tall grey, black, and deep blue insectoid/humanoid Cluster robot with a particularly long pointy nose, neon green eyes with small black pupils, and a mouth lined with sharp pale green fangs. He possesses the ability to transform into any object, thus making him a chameleon when it comes to sneaking and finding secrets. later on, he will gain the technology to use holograms to turn himself human and fool everyone around him.
Seiyu: Akira Kamiya Alternate: Minoru Inaba
Vega: She is the princess and the estranged daughter of Vexus. Though committed to her mother's goals, she does it in a way to gain her approval rather than truly believing in them. Through a series of engagements with Jenny, and interacting with the humans on Earth, she comes to doubt, and then oppose, Vexus, leading to her switching sides in the end, with the goal of bringing peace between Earth and the Cluster. She has a trio of friends known as Drab, Shell and Tuff, who are usually clumsy, though loyal to the circuit.
Seiyu: Kazue Komiya Alternate: Saeko Shimazu
Melody Locus: She is the robot daughter of Dr. Locus. Unlike Jenny (or her sisters) and the Cluster robots, she did not show any sign of being a robot, and she herself was not aware of this fact. She was one of the first to befriend Jenny when she was admitted to High School, though her overprotective father tries to limit their interactions. When the discovery of her being a robot occurs, it affects both how she views herself, finding herself betrayed, and thus easy to manipulate by the Cluster into joining them as a double agent...just as her father intended.
Seiyu: Yō Inoue Alternate: Chika Sakamoto
General Hardscape: The Highest-Ranking officer of Skyway Patrol, an old tough scarred man of action who hates that he has to stay behind a desk, yet mindful of his duty. He constantly complains of paperwork whenever one of his operatives steps out of line, with his favorite punishment being to let them take care of said paperwork for a day.
Seiyu: Ryūsuke Ōbayashi
Mr. Piggot: An agent for Skyway Patrol, he was inserted and given a secret identity as a science teacher at Tremorton High School in order to observe Jenny, eventually becoming the link between her and the organization, coming to trust her and even defend her against most of those who would think to speak ill of her. He's more of a researcher than a fighter though.
Seiyu: Yūji Mitsuya
Jaxon Marsden: A Student at Tremorton High School, and the youngest Agent in Skyway Patrol's history. His skills in fighting both armed and unarmed are top notch. He and Brand become friends early on, with him helping Brad in how to defend himself when he goes on adventures with Jenny.
Seiyu: Kazuhiko Inoue
Kenny/YK-9: A teenage boy Robot created by Phineas Mogg. He was the response of Skyway Patrol to fight the Cluster on the same level XJ-) could. Unlike Jenny, YK-9 is very sweet and kind, with an air of naivete to him when interacting with other people. Though Jenny does not seem to like him at first, eventually they do become friends and colleagues when dealing with the Cluster.
Seiyu: Yū Mizushima
Dr. Phineas Mogg: The main scientist of Skyway Patrol, and the man brought to replace Dr. Wakeman. Mogg is a man who is immensely jealous of Dr. Wakeman's accomplishments and always tries to one-up her, often by copying her previous designs, yet falling short of what made them revolutionary. Despite his pettiness and arrogance, he is not wholly evil, as he is willing to fight together when necessary.
Seiyu: Hōchū Ōtsuka
Dr. Locus: He is the father and creator of Melody Locus, a man who served as a double agent for the Cluster before being caught and incarcerated. After Melody's turn, she was able to lead a team to rescue him, thus releasing one of the most dangerous enemies as he is able to perfectly duplicate, and counter all of Dr. Wakeman's creations. With his help, the repairs to Armagedroid could finally be finished.
Seiyu: Shigeru Chiba
Misty: She a ninja alien heroine who later revealed her true villainous side. She possesses ghostly psychic powers and advanced martial arts skills.
Gigawatt: He is an electric interstellar energy vampire who sucks in and absorbs all electricity by contact, growing increasingly more powerful the more he absorbs.
Jiang Shi: They are small creatures that are a cross between vampires and elves. Jenny eventually found out that the only ways to defeat them were to hit them on the heads.
Himcules: He is an orange, muscular man wearing a black toga with a yellow "H" emblazoned on the sleeve. Whenever someone cries out in pain around him, he grows stronger. But if someone laughs at him or his attacks, the opposite occurs, and his powers are diminished.
Space Bikers: They are a group of anthropomorphic frog/fish hybrid alien bikers. They enjoy parties, and especially love to crash parties on Earth, wreaking mayhem and pranking and roughing-up humans in the process.
The Crater Critters: They are large, brutish rock creatures who bathe in lava and claim to enjoy eating brains. Despite having deep, raspy voices, a majority of the Crater Critters are actually female.
Space Pirates: They are infamous and dangerous intergalactic alien thieves, both to others and to themselves as each of their captains tend to get killed by their own crew by accident.
Giant Metal-Eating Fly: It is a massive, mutated fly that can spit a type of acid that only melts metal, which it then consumes. Agile as well as fast, it is one of the most annoying enemies to face.
Giant Sponge Monster: A tiny green capsule-shaped sponge creature. Tuck mixed up the instructions that stated to expose it to sunlight and not to water it. It absorbed the water and expanded; The spongy monster then rampaged in Tremorton because the water caused it pain.
A.N.: I tried making some episodes like I did with Miraculous, but unfortunately though I could plan some beats for the series, I could not come up with a coherent plot to join them together. I do think this could become a good show that on a 52-episode season could become something of a cult classic for the future, at least more than what it has become nowadays, forgotten among other cartoons like SpongeBob and The Fairly Oddparents.
@Magoose , in the scripts roll there seems to be a couple of small errors. Flight of the Navigator has already been on our scripts for a while now. And Reservoir Dogs was a reward, if I recall correctly, for the challenge from before.
Also, quick question, but the options for the pre-production of Star Wars, can we do them in parts? As in, select a number now, and then next turn do another select number?
I'm asking because for the plan I'm thinking that we might first see the vision George has for Star Wars on this turn, then next turn we see Dave's, and the one after we see Lawrence's. That way we are not that overwhelmed with ideas and we can take our time to better think them through.
Though from what I know of Lawrence's plans from OTL (and the fact that his plans have Revenge on them) I can already see I'll be going against them. Seriously, this is supposed to be a triumphant ending for the rebellion, not a bittersweet one like he planned.

The reason I am going to say be very careful with that, is that we begin production in march, and the film dosen't even have a script.
so unless you want some bad and very stressful filming of Jedi, because right now we have no script, you're going to need to get something good and fast.
[X] Plan Return of the Goose
-[X]Return of the Jedi (George): You want to go with George's plan for the Movie, make things a little better.
-[X]Steve and the Crazy Things of Production: Steve is worried that production is going to go to hell, so he's trying to be extra prepared.
-[X]The Practical effects of George Lucas: George has ideas, and he has ideas that seem… Crazy. But you'll see what he wants. DC: 40
-[X]Jim Henson and the Puppets of Greatness: One look at Jabba made you realize one thing. This was going to be awesome! DC: 30.
-[X]Finding Actors for the side characters: You need to flesh out those side characters. So time to bring in some great actors
--[X] Gilad Pelleaon: Alec Guinness, George Peppard, William Daniels.
--[X] Garm Bel Iblis: Liam Neeson, Burt Reynolds, David Hasselhoff.
-[X]The Directors Guild Strikes Back: So the Directors Guild, in an asinine piece of stupidity… has tried to bar Steve from working on the film? You want to know why? DC: 35
-[X]Mary's Weekend Project: Mary had a three-day weekend, and she wanted to spend it with ILM and the Magicians, saying "I want to do something fun with Uncle George and Wally!" DC: ???
-[X]Mike's Insanity: Mike came to you, practically ready to beg for forgiveness for going insanely over the 300 million dollars he promised to keep.
--[X] Tell him you're fine with the price tag since you have more than enough money in the reserves, just warn him to be more reasonable with the budgets next time.
-[X]The King has Come: Elvis needs a favor, he wants you to direct a concert he is having, in exchange for… well something.
--[X] Request for a collaboration on a song, either a cover or original, with you or Carrie in the future if either of you desire, though Elvis has a right to agree on which song. Carrie's done amazing with collaborations and it could be fun.
-[X]I Love You/I know: Carrie wants to talk about having more kids. DC: 30
-[X]The Twin's Big Days: So Joseph and Sarah have become quite a handful, and Debbie is actually worried they might be very rambunctious. Especially since Joseph is swimming by himself. Without a life jacket, and swimming incredibly deep.
-[X]A Return to Sender: Debbie asked you to follow her in for a meeting with Sid again. Something about needing to politely refuse a contract or two. DC: 30
Okay, very busy month divided between Star Wars and family stuff. Go with George's Return of the Jedi since it is his movie. I would be inclined to Dave, but Magoose has not shared much of what Dave has so I can't go off a complete unknown. Give some support to Steve for a smooth preproduction. Work on practical effects with George since it coincides with Mary and also work with Jim on the Jabba's Palace puppets. For actors for side characters, I'm posting a list that Overmind shared with me for Pellaeon and Bel iblis. Finally deal with Director's Guild bullshit.
The one action I'm considering right now is "Don't Announce the Title" because Magoose said that production proper would start in March so February is still a decent time to announce it, and it would be best to do so once we settle the writer's room.
Put Mary the genius to work and let's see what kind of fun she can do with Uncle George and Wally. For Mike, as much as I'm not a fan of his choices, we have 6 billion dollars remaining, it's more than reasonable but I'd like for the next vote to be in the hands of Questers.
For Elvis, I'm really at a loss what to do. As I said before, Bruce has no material needs or wants that Elvis would provide and he's pretty content at his life, plus I don't want to Elvis to do anything degrading. Only thing I really want is a hopefully still alive Elvis to voice act in New Vegas Johnny Bravo would also be fun. I think in regards to any movie or TV roles, we could just entice Elvis with a good story and role. Cyberpunk did have an Elvis Poser Gang but not like any of them became super plot relevant. I'll just stick to a collaboration for now.
Anyone got any ideas for any acting role we could put Elvis in?
Talk with Carrie about having kids. Both because it's important for the marriage, and Magoose said there's a small chance there could be a pregnancy in filming, so best to plan things out firmly. I don't think Bruce would want Carrie to be a baby factory, so 4 kids is definitely enough, maybe 5 if they want to push it. Probably means there's a decent chance we sadly might not get Billie O'Brian though.
Check in on Joseph and Sarah, especially what the heck Joe is doing in a pool. Also help Debbie with Sid. I don't know what the hell Sid is trying to do to Debbie since Universal ended all contracts with her for her scarring and it's been more than a decade, not to mention it's not like she was a superstar after Five Dates. Hopefully things work out as they have for Debbie because Sid does not want us to go back to war after things just got civil in Hollywood.

Alright then! Thanks, I was concerned about that, but I figured we would have more time.
Okay, then it might work better if we start hearing them all at once, perhaps also work the issues with the Guild and start with the production issues with Steven as well.
Oh boy, this is going ot be a tough year indeed.
Edit: Nevermind, @Kaiser Chris put in a plan while I was writing this.
Seems like a good enough plan, so I'll go for it. Though, shouldn't we hear the proposals of the others as well? At least next turn? I'm just asking since, while you are right that this is George's movie, perhaps the others may have some ideas that might be good enough to add to the overall script.
If you think however that this is a "too many cooks in the kitchen" situation then I'm fine just sticking to George's vision.

Do you think any one of the actions can be replaced with Dave's vision? That's the only one I'm considering because while Lawrence Kasdan cooked with Empire, he wanted Leia to die here and wants it to be Revenge of the Jedi, don't trust him at all. Maybe we can take out the Mike Eisner action since we are already pretty cool with it, so it kind of feels like a waste.

No, I'm not saying doing it now, but next turn. George's vision should be the one to follow, but we can hear Dave's ideas next turn, and if any of them sound good then we can at least consider them.
I'm with you on Kasdan though. I wanted to hear him out for politeness' sake, but if we can just leave him aside then I have no problems with it.
We could give him a cameo in Star Wars 😆. Not a good use for him but it'd be funny. But seriously if we get the chance to do Austin Powers a Agent Elvis cameo would fit right in. Nothing else off the top of my head.
