AFICIONADO OPINION: SIMON PEGG - "NOW YOU'RE GETTING NASTY!"

Simon Pegg "burns" for STAR WARS. Perhaps he'd enjoy some Prequel fans putting him on a spit-roast!

Second definition of the word "Wanker" from the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language): "A detestable person". The term "Wank" has a third definition of usage: "Bad, useless and worthless".

Yep, in my own personal mindset that just about sums up that odious creep Simon Pegg, causing grief and insult specifically to George Lucas, who really doesn't deserve it- the creator of STAR WARS who should be applauded and respected for creating a saga and then actually letting other people get to play in it and expand it to the kind of frenzied anticipation we're experiencing with THE FORCE AWAKENS. Now that's a move both professional and very generous. This is the kind of needless garbage from Pegg, acting thoroughly unprofessionally and obnoxiously in my opinion, that's just not needed, and at the wrong time- just when we want to feel good about the entire STAR WARS saga in general. It's also an insult not only to Lucas but the huge amount of talent in front of and behind the cameras that worked on those Prequel endeavours, and its oh-so-loyal fanbase. Makes me feel sad to be a British STAR WARS fan. Constructive criticisms of the Prequels, fine. But Pegg's just being nasty...

I'm quite amazed that Kathleen Kennedy, such a long-time friend to Lucas, and inheritor of the LUCASFILM flame, allows this derogatory crap from someone now (apparently) involved in some of the creative decisions linked to EPISODE VII.

Simon Pegg: Has the Bantha poo-doo hit the fan!

Just when I was really getting to enjoy all the right and wonderful decisions being made about EPISODE VII, along comes this shocking rumour now likely fact. Its the moment which I and many other SW fans had been worried about for some time...

If he is indeed in the new film/s, its a serious slap in the face to many devoted fans of the Classic Trilogy SPECIAL EDITIONS and the three massively under-appreciated Prequels, of which Pegg has been aggressively vocal these past seventeen years. Let's not forget some of his memorably negative things which I'm happy to provide links to - these "gems" of derogatory "wisdom" - he's spouted about them, and creator George Lucas, over the years...

"Shitty", "clueless", and "a fucking shame" - Simon Pegg on the 2011 Blu-rays, from The Daily Dot website, 2011

Of course, Mister Pegg is fully entitled to his opinions, its a free country, but if he felt that bad about the current state of STAR WARS, someone of his media influence should have had the wisdom to send back the free copy/"care package" of the 2004 DVD set sent by LUCASFILM, turned down the likely later 2011 sent Blu-ray sets, too, and should have politely declined Dave Filoni's ultimately poor and controversial decision in offering him the voice over work of Dengar in THE CLONE WARS animated series- which, for an actor (well Pegg's supposed to be an actor), turned out for many to be a pretty weak vocal performance and an overall ruination of that popular character's bounty hunter mystique.

J.J. Abrams obviously likes the British nerd-ness of Simon Pegg, who is a talent within his own original material (like SPACED, SHAUN OF THE DEAD and HOT FUZZ), and surely sees in him some kind of relatable kindred spirit whom he can identify with and have lots of laughs on and off set. But its no laugh to the insulted worldwide STAR WARS fan base- this likely latest addition to the cast is a pretty unpalatable one, is a potentially huge disappointment (especially with Pegg's prior re-imagined TREK connections (there's a big difference between an actor and a directors participation), which we hoped he would sensibly not clash with) and likely cause quite a negative feedback wave in some quarters leading up to December 2015...

One final question: If I slag off the Prequels and George Lucas, do you think someone at LUCASFILM might hire me for a job on the Sequels or Spin-offs? It seems to have worked for Spin-off movie writer Gary Whitta, and now likely Simon Pegg. Is it that easy?
