I might have to go solo to see Solo. Seems fitting.

or maybe I'll just skip it

Felt Star Warsey to me.

Felt like a generic action flick to me. But glad you liked it!

Spoiler

Who else caught the Masters of Teras Kasi reference?

Solo is the second un-SW SW movie in a row. But TLJ was un-SW on purpose, Solo is un-SW despite throwing every prior reference they could at it.

Yep. This took the concept of Origin Stories to absurd lengths. They made a list of Solo factoids from the OT, and attempted to account for the beginning of every minute detail except for the only one relevant to the plot: How did Han become so self-absorbed? Instead, we see him resist being self-absorbed in the face of ridiculous, on the nose dialogue telling him not to trust anyone and be selfish.

TLJ was a mess, while Solo is hacky, overly structured pandering. It's as if Solo was written by a marketing team, as opposed to actual writers.

Saw a matinee showing today and I really liked it. It wasn't perfect and it was slow at times but overall a fun movie.

8/10 from me.

That was my favorite reference. I had to explain it to my buddy who is a huge SW fane but not a gamer.

I thought THE cameo was cool but I'm a 'toon fan. And much less forced than Walrussman going HEY STAR WARS FANS MEMBA ME AND THIS DUDE????!!!! in Rogue One.
That may not be an exact quote.

I see the RO cameos as innocent and logical.

The Solo cameo is some really forced **** lol

I really think it kills the only good part of that respective movie.

Pretty much my score and opinion as well.

At this point I will be anxiously awaiting news of firings and reshoots on all future SW movies.

Not necessarily mine since I haven't seen Solo but just as a gauge...

I guess if you're into the storyline of the Filoni series it's different. I've been at peace with that guy being back on the field for quite a while and I like this new SW gumbo.

I actually like it when Panda Boba Fett photobombs Rogue One but it's simultaneously the worst kind of fan service IMO.

I can let the two ideas rest comfortably next to each other in my super zen mind.

Throw Mama From The Train
Robocop
Attack of the Clones












The Dark Knight


I can't honestly rank SW as Solo is too fresh and TLJ has gone up and down dramatically for me the more I consider it.

taken at 1am last night

taken now



Lol...

At first I thought maybe it was review bombing since it went down too quickly, but most of the negative reviews do know what they’re talking about.

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

I can safely say Solo > TLJ.

Fo me.

(For the record, holographic chess has now appeared in three of 10 SW films)

Rankings anyone?

I think a lot of people just use the RT audience scores to talk **** between faps and feel all vindicated about it. I'd guess every DisWars movie will go this way now that they've found the weakness in the Death Star.

But I don't have a youtube video to back that up so we'll never know for sure.

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

Something I mentioned previously is LFL seems to have given up on giving us truly exotic-looking planets. They're just going over the same old foresty/beachy/muddy settings.

Seeing that garbage-land in BR 2049 reminded me what should be possible.



On a separate note, did anyone else get a Mad Max vibe from Enfys Nest's marauders?
