    I loved them both. First for their Hammer films, second as the first Big screen Dr. Who and lastly, but by no means least, for their roles in Star Wars. The career is my childhood in a nutshell. A child of Dracula, a time traveller and an intergalactic governor. R.I.P., I miss you both. 🙏🥰🥰🥰

    I have read that Peter Cushing was so nice to Carrie Fisher off screen that she had a hard time acting like she hated him on camera. In one of Cushing's interviews, he refers to her as "That dear little Carrie Fisher."

      I read Peter was originally considered for Obi-Wan and Chris for Tarkin. Also John Carpenter considered either one of them for Dr Loomis before Donald was casted. Lee told Carpenter he regretted turning down the role.

      They do appear in a lot of Hammer movies together and those are a lot of fun to watch. Peter Cushing is such a great Dr Frankenstein and also a great Van Helsing.

    Peter was the best in my opinion. I went to visit his house and where the bench and plaque is down by the sea front in whitstable. I even got the chance to meet an elderly couple who told me a story about Peter :) Both legends will live on forever ♡♡

    We got some good officers in the other films, but watching this really makes me wish that Peter Cushing was in _Empire_ and _Return_ as well, with Grand Moff Tarkin somehow surviving the destruction of the Death Star, standing next to Vader as one of the Big Bads until the final reveal of the Emperor, just so we could have gotten more of him in Star Wars.

    • @zacmumblethunder7466
      @zacmumblethunder7466 Год назад +1

      There's a vague notion in the novelisation of the original movie that Tarkin might be the big cheese of The Empire. The Emperor is described as weak and out of touch, being manipulated by his governors. Fear of the Death Star will keep the systems in line after the abolition of the Senate. . And Tarkin is in charge of it.
      Had George stuck with that, we may have had more of Tarky.

      Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this CGI technology . Don't get too proud of this CGI technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force.

      Don't frighten us with your sorcerous ways, Lord Cushing. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes for the CGI technology or given you clairvoyance enough to find the rebels' hidden fort... ACK... (chokes) agghhh... ackkkk...🤢

    My sister said on the day of Peter’s funeral the cortege stopped at each shop and cafe on the high street in Whitstable he went to out of respect. There is also a converted art deco cinema Wetherspoons named The Peter Cushing. It’s a lovely building. I’ve been in. He also swam in the sea every day.
