aw man! next you're going to tell me the Titanic sinks, it's really a cookbook, the cornfield is Heaven and that John Jasper really did kill Edwin Drood!

I'm wondering if we'll ever see them together onscreen like the Bester-Chekov nod in the symphony :D

That thought aside... Is it accidental symmetry or design that both these characters share coming back to life in the EPU verse? :P

Maybe Ewan will play Obi-Wan in the in-universe movie loosely based on The Fulcrum of Fate. :)

That's coincidental, actually. I was just thinking, "What would be the most extreme possible Long Way trip?" and the first thing that came to mind was the myth of Orpheus's descent into and return from the Underworld - which dovetailed neatly with the already-established fact that there are highways between the eight celestial/infernal worlds. (Obviously it's going to take Ewan and Charley a lot longer than it took Corwin and Nanami in Sympathy for the Devil, because Ewan and Charley haven't got those automatic toll thingers for the Asgard bypass.)

(Also, technically, Obi-Wan wasn't dead, he was more powerful than Darth Vader can possibly imagine. :)

But then someone might write a fanfic based on Ewan's performance as Obi-Wan and post it on the Galactic Net, and you've got the making of a nasty infinite-recursion paradox on your hands.

Over in the studio, we have since determined that he played some other Jedi (probably a fictional one) in some other movie during the period in between the re-establishment of the Order and Obi-Wan's return from the Force. (We also know why he and Charley were still making television shows in the early 2400s, which - contrary to popular assumption - had nothing at all to do with the Wedge Defense Force of the late 20th or early 21st centuries. I mean, hell, when we were covertly recruiting people from Earth, it's not likely we'd ever heard of either of them.)

Ewan (helmet-cam mic): I think what gets to me most, Charley, is this fucking fog. You can't see if anything's coming the other way, you can't see if anyone's coming up behind, you just... ride along in your own little world and hope the next thing you hear isn't a horrible crash.

Anyway, yeah, it's not that Hel is a terrible place - a lot of people in the living world live in worse places, and some of them are even kind of perversely happy to be there. It's just that spending eternity in Ketchikan, Alaska when you were expecting Dante's Paradiso is a bit of a let-down. You start thinking maybe you should've tried harder. (And if you've led the sort of lives Ewan and Charley had led at that point, you find yourself wondering who the hell they're letting in up there. :)

Well, note the date of the movie. Tuncer may not have had much practice in Earth-style drama at the time (or with any sort of drama, come to think of it; I wonder if his birth-people went in for the artform in the first place). I make no doubt that he's improved since then (assuming, for instance, that he plays himself in that Halo (?) movie for which we saw the poster quite some little while ago).
