Glad to see it's underperforming. One step closer to KK being GONE.

Let's assume Disney do kick KK to the curb for this. Who in an ideal world should they hire to replace her? Gary Kurtz is the only name that comes to mind as someone who knows how to make the franchise fly, but he hasn't done much in the last decade and he's getting on in years.

Dave Filoni.

I thought the whole droid rebellion was funny especially with Gonk jumping up and down on that console lol

There were some funny things going on in that chaos.

Yeah, I got a good laugh out of that

Dave Filoni.

I agree 100%. Filoni respects McQuarrie art, the prequels (which I like except for the awful EP I) and even the EU. He also made many EU things cannon that the mouse wanted to throw out like Black Sun, Thrawn, etc.

I never dreamed there would be a SW movie released that I wouldn't go see. Surreal.

Not getting my money.

This happened to me already with TLJ. I knew it would be awful since the TFA was garbage IMO and my gut was right. I will never see that movie. This one, I may rent when it comes out because I did like R1, but the more I read the more I am leaning towards my days of watching or reading new SW material as being dead.

is deadpool in the movies REALLY pansexual? or does he flirt with guys just to mess with them? Does he EVER flirt with any men in the movies?

he seems very in love with his girl...

Deadpool Is just messing with people.... People who say otherwise are grasping at straws... The same with Lando…. When Lando was playing cards with Solo he calls solo adorable, he's not flirting with him he's just messing with his mind in order to try and make Solo screw up in the game..

Have any of you hosers even seen the movie yet? or are you guys just trolling for kicks?

The SJW Police are really embarrassing themselves on this one. The Droid Rights thing is a gag, even Lando rolls his eyes about it. Lando being attracted to his droid is a joke - Khaleesi struggles to keep a straight face when she's talking about it. And the Han/Lando bromance is barely there. SJW/anti-SJW amounts to the same thing now. People with magnifying glasses, trying to find something to make a video about.

Yes, I might see it as a rental, but I’m right there with you with TFA and TLJ – Garbage. They should just cancel episode nine, but they’re probably already too invested.

I couldn't agree more. But at this point there are SW fans who will see anything SW. And that is fine, I don't begrudge anyone for liking what they like. These are just not for me as an OT/PT and fan of the EU books/CW cartoon. Basically I am a Lucas SW fan except I really do like Rogue 1.

I for example enjoy AOTC. Most people hate it. The love stuff is awful and I skip chapter on my Blu ray when it comes up. But the fights, Jango Fett, Obi Wan's detective story and the introduction of the clone army and the Clone Wars are all epic. Add in the original Dark Horse Comics, CNW Clone Wars cartoon and the Filoni's Clone Wars and I think it gives so much more depth to AOTC. That was Lucas' intention, to make SW accessible to more media and less constrained to just a movie. But I understand people who just saw the movie feel the way they do and respect their opinion. Which is why even though the Mouse's SW does not appeal to me AT ALL, if people like or love it that's cool.

I will never see that movie.

Jealous. Wish I could “un-see” it.

Solo: I’ll wait for it to be free on TV.

I might pick it up at the dollar store or Ollies.

At the theater for first showing that starts in 20 minutes and there are 6 other people in the theater.

Wow.

We'll see.

Not sure who you’re aiming this at, but I was told by theater owner that The Force Awakens was a great film and anyone who thinks otherwise can keep it to themselves. I kept my mouth shut about how much I hated the Disney Star Wars movies until earlier this year. Everyone else seems to be able to speak their mind just fine.

Call it trolling or whatever the heck you want. When I say what Disney has done to Star Wars is horrible, I’m speaking my mind plainly and if you can’t handle it, don’t read it. It’s like Mickey Mouse took a dump on something I enjoyed, and then signed it with his urine.

You can call it art. I call it a load of BS.

If they ever make another good Star Wars movie, I will be the first to cheer.

The argument of have you ever seen it yet, worked for the last three. China dislikes it – that’s good enough for me.

Anyone who disagrees with me, I don’t care. I’m not going to argue minutia. Nothing is all bad, but if it smells like crap and it taste like crap, the little bits of corn in it really don’t matter that much.

Said my piece, now I will leave Star Wars and all these boards behind.

Saw the movie and really liked it - almost loved it. L3 is easily the most annoying character since Jar Jar, but aside from her, it's a solid movie for those who can still go to the movies and have fun

I wonder how much corn there is in Solo?

It’s cute to see a lot of “grown” men boycott this film and the studio who created it, yet spend countless hours on a thread saying how bad it was.....

Only reason I saw this last night was because I got a free pass.

Factoring out the brand it's part of, the movie was mediocre at best and surprisingly boring overall. Straight forward story and totally predictable, with acting that's nothing to write home about. Now as a continuation of Star Wars on the big screen it's definitely to be classified as bad, though going into it I was treating it as non-canon and it will stay non-canon in my book. They beat you over the head with "REMEMBER THIS?!" and Alden isn't the slightest bit convincing as Han Solo. Not to mention just the characterization of Han is completely off, and he's a bit more of a bumbling idiot at some moments than a clever gun slinger. As others have said Donald Glover as Lando is one of the better parts of the film, but for myself he really felt like the character in some scenes (especially when first introduced) and not so much in others. Some scenes where Lando could have an opportunity to shine more are squandered by his stupid female droid. The droid is definitely a Jar Jar type character that was nothing short of annoying.

The entire flick felt very much like a fan fiction/fan film; it has Star Wars elements in it but it never once captures the feel of Star Wars. There are also a bunch of terrible story/script decisions or insertions that feel like something you would find from a random redditor lol.

Looking at the franchise overall it's actually somewhat amazing it is as relevant as it is, considering that beyond the original 3 everything to follow has ranged from mediocre to awful. 3/10 of the movies are quality entertainment, and one could even make the argument that the original trilogy in of itself is overrated in a variety of ways.

Also while I went to a 10:30 showing, I was completely baffled at how empty the theater was. My friend and I literally had the entire theater to ourselves right up until 5 minutes before when 3 other guys walked in and that was it for the night lol.
