Not Alan Rickman!

Yeah it's shit. Great actor. 69 isn't supposed to be old anymore! How can two famous people die at that age in the same week.

Fucking cancer, that's how.

And yet Republicans laughed at Obama for making it a priority in his State of the Union address on Tuesday. My nation is fucked.
 
Sad.

Alan Rickman's death ended plans for 'Galaxy Quest 2,' co-star says

(CNN) Bye, Grabthar's hammer. Plans were in the works for a sequel to the cult classic "Galaxy Quest," but the death of star Alan Rickman put an end to the idea, co-star Sam Rockwell told Nerdist.

"They were going to do a sequel on Amazon, and we were ready to sign up for it, and Alan Rickman passed away, and Tim Allen wasn't available -- he has a show -- and everybody's schedule was all weird," he said.

Scheduling was one thing, he added, but Rickman was irreplaceable.

"How do you fill that void of Alan Rickman? That's a hard void to fill," Rockwell said.
Rickman, who died in January, played an actor named Alexander Dane who portrays Dr. Lazarus, a starship's science officer, in the 1999 film.

"Galaxy Quest," a parody of "Star Trek," its fanbase and science-fiction movies in general, also starred Sigourney Weaver, Tony Shalhoub, Daryl Mitchell, Rainn Wilson and Enrico Colatoni.

"It was a great cast," said Rockwell.

Grabthar's hammer (part of a phrase often uttered by Rickman's character) isn't entirely forgotten. There may not be a sequel, but Amazon is developing a series based on the film.

I thought they were going to make a tv series with new characters or something shit sounding like that.
 
Maybe if they didn't wait 17 fucking years to try and make a sequel they might have still been able to make a few with Rickman.
 
We'll never know what it would've been like, but the original was so good and used up so much material that I'm doubtful a sequel would've matched it. Let's just be glad we had one awesome movie called Galaxy Quest.
 
Amazon is still making the TV show, with other actors.

Tim Allen's current TV show is shit, a right wing political propaganda machine masquerading as a sitcom.
