Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)

Not because it's new though, because it's bad.

Yeah but old farts hate everything that now that NOT from The good ol’days....

I know a guy or two that think action stars peaked with Errol Flynn

I am not sure what is "tacky" about this or offensive... The difference is between a hand taken and a hand offered. If Finn had offered his hand and she rebuked him and gave him a speech about how insulted she is as a woman at the implication she needs help it would be one thing. But that is not what happened, Finn kept taking her hand and dragging her around assumptively. The message is universal, offer a hand, don't take. It goes both ways.

The context of those scenes are seen by many as to imply that a women does not need the help and guidance of a man. She is not too frail to take care of herself. Finn thinks SHE needs HIS help. Like throughout history with the "damsel in distress" as the centerpiece of so many a story. This is a blatant opportunity to switch that and show that a female can be stronger than a male. And in that instance it is Finn indeed that needs Rey's help instead of the norm. Rey is in charge. She is the strong one, Finn is the weak one. Rey takes on the baddies and poor Finn stumbles. Finn needs HER help, Rey doesn't need his. Instead of the typical Finn leading Rey out of danger, it is the swap in which Rey takes charge and leads Finn out of danger.

I have no problems with this and there is nothing wrong with the message. The problem is how it it plays out in the movie. It's a forced message to the audience. It doesn't come across as a normal part of the narrative. The way it's written and shot cinematically. With Finn's constant insults to Rey by trying to help her. The constant annoyance from Rey that Finn is trying to help her, assuming she needs help cause she is a female. It's how it conveys the message in showing women don't need the help of men. It would be fine in context, but the problem is they couldn't just leave it as Rey can take care of herself. They had to switch it in that Finn, the man, is the one that needs the Woman's help in Rey. She saves him, and she fly's the ship to their safety. She is in charge from the minute they meet. He didn't need to be the bumbling ***** they made him out to be. He was a First Order Stormtrooper after all. He couldn't have possibly been that inept. But that's what they did and how they chose to display him onscreen and how the scene plays out. It seems like a forced gender reversal scene, as opposed to a gender equality scene.

"I Am Women, Hear Me Roar".... Yeah, we get it. The Force IS Female.... I guess most forget how strong Leia was as a character in 1977.

That’s my first post, post screening lol

Epic post.




Yes, apparently Disney has done away with "old" Star Wars" and now services only the audience for the cartoons. Which is the new generation after all.

However, if you're over 30 and you're still watching cartoons, then no wonder these movies suck so bad.

:( ...... :monkey2 I feel insulted..... :lol

If you don't watch animation your missing out on some great stories. Especially if your a DC fan. The old Batman The Animated series, Superman and Justice League cartoons are the best stuff DC has EVER done. AND not kiddy at all....

I do only watch the animated SW stuff with my son. That's what he grew up on, the Clone Wars cartoon. Not sure I would have watched it without him, but I did come to like it and enjoy watching it.

My SW collection will forever be focused around Vader and the OT Troopers. While his will be focused around Captain Rex and the Clone troopers.

Here’s my quick review.


I liked the movie EXCEPT for that ridiculously egregious cameo.

First Old Man Logan
Now Old Man
Maul
Next year Old Man Stark

lulz

I went in spoiler free so when it happened I immediately spit my drink out!

I was actually expecting her
contact to be the Mandalorians or Fett himself then I laughed at myself for not catching on with the Crimson Dawn name...get it Crimson Dawn lol Fett would’ve been 100x better! Like Evil said it actually ruins Obi-Wan’s TPM arc this doesn’t help TPM in any manner it actually only serves as the final nail on the coffin of the only great thing in TPM.

Hence the word I used to describe the scene: "tacky".

not having or exhibiting good taste: such as
a : marked by cheap showiness : gaudy a tacky publicity stunt
 
Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)

Darth Maul. I hated seeing Darth Maul in this. It robs Kenobi of his moment. Fauk Maul. And Fauk anymore Star Wars movies.

Obi-Wan has his moment again eight years after the end of Solo.

In 2 BBY on Tatooine he killed Maul for good. And was sorry he had to do it. Maul had become such a likable old rogue.
 
Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)

OK, so the movie's good then?

I mean, the cameo is itsy bitsy fish-food for man-boys who couldn't let Maul go. Spider Legs!!!

Jesus Wor that cameo is sooooo laughably bad it’s not even funny it almost ruined the great build up at the end for me.

If they wanted to introduce the force in this movie they went about it the wrong way they should’ve just had Han have a conversation with either Chewie or Q’ira showing his indifference to it.

But yes a fun movie.

RO is still better but this is still a fun ride.

Just remember that when I say great build up that I went in 100% spoiler free.

YMMV

Yep, it was ******** in Clone Wars, it's ******** now.

I much prefer his dumb death in TPM than everything they did to him afterwards.

Makes sense Jedi don’t make pregos.

Sith love to hump though lol

I saw a 250,000 Bentley a few days ago with the license plate Sith Lrd lol
 
Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)

The movie was decent..I’d watch it again and likely buy the blu-ray. Definitely think R1 was a better film and it felt more like it fit in the Star Wars Universe.

I didn’t have any issues with the acting on any level just didn’t feel like the character (Solo)..... but parts didn’t feel like Star Wars either . Didn’t realize until after the flick without the empire as the bad guy, it’s hard to tie into SW. I’m ok with no “force” action I just need the empire 🤨
