Star Wars

I'm still waiting for a Shadows of the Empire trilogy.

I wasn't interested in seeing the Solo film. Then I saw the trailer during the Super Bowl.

Also, it was announced that the showrunners of Game of Thrones are going to do a new Star Wars film series.

I'm both excited and scared. 10 year old me is giddy that there are new Star Wars films every year, but I'm afraid of oversaturation.

Han was a smuggler who didn’t care about anyone or anything except himself back in Episode IV. I have a feeling that Disney is going to make him into some kind of hero.

I read the synopsis and I don’t see how they can make that movie without pissing all fans off. I think they should either change the story around to focus only on the Vader subplot or make an entirely different story. Since all you need is James Earl Jones and the guy who played Palpatine (he’ll be in makeup anyway), they can do an entire movie about the empire that takes place after Hoth and before Jedi without ruining the cannon or using CGI recreations.

From the teaser, it looked like he was applying to fly for the Empire. Maybe he gets turned down, and then starts smuggling as revenge?

I would be really disappointed if they make Han anything but a scoundrel.

It’s Disney so I wouldn’t put it passed them. Besides, they can write whatever they want and the movie will still make hundreds of millions globally.

If Han's not a scoundrel, it's going to be hard to forgive.

First off, if that's all they had to talk about in the bar, maybe they should try vagina.

Second, the plan they're complaining about making no sense was created by a guy who literally made Natalie Portman love scenes unsexy. I'd hazard to think no one even told Lucas the idea was implausible, and even if someone had, he'd be all "Whatevs. I'm putting Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, and the droids all in the same scene with a screen full of aliens!"

Finally watched Solo: A Star Wars Story. Don't know why it got such a mediocre reception, I thought it was terrific fun with great casting, script and acting. It didn't have lightsabers or space stations or thinly veiled religious overtones, but it was all the better for it.

Lightsabers and thinly veiled religious tones are the main attractions in the Star Wars universe....with special consideration to Princess Leia's tight body in ROTJ.

Honestly, apart from people planting their flags on the "No one is Solo except Ford" hill, and the (alleged*) Russian hate seed campaigns, there really wasn't anything wrong with it. I'm one of the "it's not Star Wars without Jedi" people, but going into this movie, I was willing to accept it because it was nothing more than a heist movie in the SW galaxy--and everything about it was better than Rogue One.

I thought the guy that played Han pulled him off well, and Donald Glover was Billy Dee-esque.





*"alleged" because despite it being reported a few weeks ago, I'm sure we have those who see that as "fake news" so whatevs.

Honestly I think you can tie it to shitty marketing, hype, and people feeling Disney was using this as another easy cash grab.

I saw it a couple of weeks ago after vowing to not pay for it in theaters because it seemed like a stupid Disney cash grab and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and left wanting more.

Exactly.

I did see it in the theater, because cash grab or not, the commercials looked good, and at the end of the day, it's Star Wars so I'm going.

I can't wait to see a Lando movie.

When he and Chewy turn to walk away from Enfys and her gang right at the end he does the Han Solo wink, and I did a double take - it was perfect Harrison Ford.

L3, Vos and Beckett were all awesome characters played really well. As you say, it was a heist movie - I don't know if people were expecting some kind of big revelations but I thought it set up Solo's character perfectly.

I never wanted to give this movie a chance solely based upon the reviews and just negativity which surrounded the film upon its release. I'm really glad that I finally caved and watched the movie over the weekend. Thoroughly enjoyed the film and it didn't deserve the bashing it received. Good character development and a great story line.   

It doesn't rank up there with Empire, Force Awakens and Rogue One, but it certainly falls into a respectable 2nd tier.
