LES MARTIAN

I opened the latest issue and saw Matt Damon’s marooned-on-

Mars astronaut staring up at me and the tagline “Bring Him

Home”. When I read the tagline in my head it was in the voice

of Hugh Jackman singing the song Bring Him Home in Tom

Hooper’s Les Mis. Why oh why has nobody on the internet

made a Bring Him Home-Les Mis-Martian mash-up trailer?!

I thinkEmpireshould fill this gap in the market!

LEE ROWSELL BRISTOL

Come on internet sort it out. And while you are about it can

you compose some Les Mis-Martian crossover tunes: On My

Own (obvs) Red (Planet) And Black; One Damon More. For your

cosmic vision and musical appreciation have some Zavvi

vouchers. Altogether now “Can you hear the spaceman sing...?”

SHELF LIFE

THE 500+ DVD CHALLENGE

CHEWIE... WE’RE OLD

In response to the Editor’s Letter the

reason Chewbacca does not appear to

have outwardly aged in the trailer for The

Force Awakens is likely because the

average lifespan of a Wookiee is more

than 400 standard years. The 30-odd

years between episodes VI and VII would

barely be the blink of an eye for Chewie.

Have I been reading the Wookieepedia

page for Wookiee? Yes I have.

ANDY GOUT LONDON

It’s not wise to age a Wookiee.
