    Yes, but let's be honest...

    If not for Star Wars his legacy would much more prominently feature brown face that has not aged nearly as well.

    Yeah, but he negotiated a percentage of the box office when nobody else believed in it.

    The worst part of this is that Wookiepedia doesn't exist anymore. Fandom.com fucking ate it.

    I haven't seen Guinness as Smiley, but I recently watched The Spy Who Came in from the Cold with Richard Burton as Leames (and apparently a guy called Rupert Davies as Smiley), and holy moly was it boring. Dreadful.

    Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (with Oldman) was slow af, but I at least found it watchable.
