Solo: A Star Wars Story

Great news! He seems to be the most talked about from Solo. By the looks of it he owns the Lando role!

My guess is if they do a Lando movie, it'd be the "just before ESB" prequel like RO was for ANH. Lando was always one of my favorites - the Lando fig was one of my top 5 as a kid - so I'd love a movie about incursions to ATAT factories and trouble at Bespin all centered on Lando in the weeks before ESB.

Like Ehren with HF, Glover is actually only about eight years younger than BDW was while filming ESB, so I can see ways to subtly age Glover to cover that distance.

Notice that IMDB has erased all the votes. At present nothing's showing as it needs 5 votes.

Probably because there was so much obvious fake voting in the 1000+ results it was previously showing.

Over 50% had given it 10/10, and over 20% had given it 1/10. Depending whether they wanted to crap on it for the hell of it, or were over-voting to take account of those crapping on it.

I'm surprised it wasn't 50% gave it 10/10 and 50% gave it 1/10.

What about the Obi-Wan spinoff instead? What happened to that?

This is what I'm wondering.

I'd rather see an Obi-Wan standalone movie before a Lando one. Don't get me wrong; I want to see both.

Really confused by a Obi-wan standalone movie - with Ewan pushing 50 it makes sense, but would a general audience today really want to see a $200m movie centered on a genteel, greying, bearded oldish white man?

what is his video even about?
some people say it is anti gun, some people say it is about police brutality, some people say it is about the entertainment industry blinding us
others say it is about gang violence, others say it is about chicago............
whats the vid about really?

It's whatever you want it to be - meanwhile, youtube views drive sales $$$.

I'm really hoping they fast track the Max Rebo standalone film.

They have Ewan ready to go I guess just waiting on Solo opening weekend numbers to make the announcement.

Supposedly the Obi-Wan movie is in early pre-production according to Movie Web.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Movie Is in Pre-Production, Begins Shooting Spring 2019?

This has already been retracted... Man, these websites will run with anything. Reminds me of the scene in Johnny Dangerously with passing along info through the grapevine.

UPDATE: Première has published a correction to its original article, saying there was “a misunderstanding” between its reporter and Kennedy. The correction added the following, still vague quote: “One day, we would love to tell a story about Lando Calrissian, but that’s not relevant. It would be fun to tell the story of Han and Chewie…”

A spokesperson from Lucasfilm confirmed to Fortune that the conversation was a misunderstanding, adding: “Kathleen Kennedy was saying ‘I would love to see a Lando film in the future, and it would also be fun to tell another Han and Chewie story.” The spokesperson also said that Kennedy did not say that a Lando movie was next up.

Chewbacca's cool but not



I don't even defend geek culture anymore. It really is as bad as people think.

I honestly thought this was a reference to the black shirt Alden wears... as in every hero wears black these days... how dumb am I?

A Lando movie down the road would be fine but let's get a Obi-Wan movie out first.

Introducing the latest forced, out of place, and now just plain silly SJW propaganda in Kathleen Kennedy's Star Wars: The "feminist" #DroidLivesMatter, L3-37.

The droid, L3-37, is a self-building robot who has taken pieces of other droids to create and improve herself. And yes, she's a female droid. But not a stereotypical one. "There's a kind of gruffness to her that I loved. [The screenwriters], in creating her, avoided all the usual tropes of when there's a lady version of something. She's not sassy and she doesn't skip anywhere and she doesn't try to seduce anyone. She's just fiercely independent and funny and energetic."

And yet the writers defaulted to the biggest female trope there is: a female trying to 'improve' herself (in this case through used parts rather than make-up)

I didn’t realize skipping to places was a female trope?

Also isn’t ‘fiercely independent’ *the* buzz words for female characters these days?

Where do they come up with this stuff?

Good point on the ‘improvement’ analogy.

IMDB also deleted all but one of the reviews this morning.

Looks like voting has been suspended for the time being.

I think the last overall vote it displayed was 5.4 / 10 before the great purge.

Just got out of the Sydney premiere of Solo.
It's a great flick.
Lando steals it for me.
Lots of EU reference.
Surprising cameo at films end...
