First star wars that barely feels like star wars
a movie that had to change directors and have multiple reshoots. messing the story and messing the continuity.
Riddick loves it...

Rogue One is still the best Disney Wers and that's not saying much.

Ok this is all directly from the films man......
No exposition or extra knowledge needed from George or anyone else!
The Emperor was a menacing threat ....because we know he is the leader of the Empire. And If he controls what Vader does , and Vader was intense as Hell. Actually, this is what gave Tarkin such a presence as a bad guy....he could control Vader.
The first scenes we see Vader he is choking some guy from across the room for insulting his religion...next scene he’s slicing though and old man....I would say that menacing...
Lando was a punk , that redeemed himself , facing down possible death at the hands of the Empire to do the right thing!!! Of course people like him. He gave up everything to help his friends.
Come on man, this is a huge attempt at proving what? That we needed off screen talk to make all that real?
Back in 77 we didn’t get the non stop useless information we do now about films. We took what we saw on screen at the story. Unless you looked into the comics or books.
So yeah, I don’t need to hear about what somebody says about a character beyond what is in the film.
I am quite sure they are not re doing all the books about the characters to mention Lando’s sexual preference.

If they did that they'd have to cast a Luke who looks younger and is shorter than Alden - ruling out Sebastien Stan I think. Unless they cast yet another Han Solo to play a post-ROTJ version of him which would be ridiculous.

This. I'll take my seat in the Rogue One thread asking for figures of Beckett and Lando now.

Again, why is Boba fett a bad ass or feared or anything?
Hes basically a space Fed ex delivery driver. thats all Boba fett is. he follows Han, gets a package, takes the package to the destination. how is not boba fett a glorified Postal worker then?
Why do people love him so much and why do people consider him so cool? because of the outfit? what did the movie show Boba fett do besides delivering a package........
you CANNOT answer about Boba fett without either assuming stuff or your brain filling the gaps in the movie or without a little bit of speculation. we THINK boba fett is a badass because of what we THINK he does when hes not on screen.
Boba Fett has a reputation for things people THINK he can do. NOT from what the movie shows...
all of these connections and ideas you have are in your head after watching the entire movie trilogy. all these things are things the mind created by connecting the dots. the movie didnt show you a lot of the stuff that you are assuming.
The Emperor was just a creepy old guy giving instructions to Vader. he looked frail and sickly. he was like the King in Lord of the rings looks wise, the one being controlled by the evil wizard.
IF you Go by ONLY what the movie shows, before the third movie we only see an old sickly guy in a cloak giving orders to a servant. YOU are the one connecting his power to the fact that he controls vader. we didnt SEE him controlling Vader, we only see him talking to him and giving orders to him. like i said, the movie shows vader as Emperor's secretary.
Then you start assuming all this other stuff, we all do, all fans. your brain creates connections and your brain fills in the gaps. you LITERALLY just proved my point. some of the stuff you just posted is never said or shown in the movie, it is just ASSUMED............
you see how taht works bro?

More thoughts later.

I think Robert Boulter could also be a good choice for Luke.

That was my feeling on it. I liked it fine but the best thing I can say is it felt like a decent/solid Star Wars TV show. Like where they recast the hero with a TV actor (who does a very solid job and even has a few charms of his own,) the stakes are lower and everything lower wattage, and it all feels kinda like what you're used to on the big screen, but not as epic or engrossing (the "cool new worlds of SW" aspect was especially lacking for me.) It kinda felt like a Shadows of the Empire TV show that was focused on Han for the pilot episode.
There were parts I really liked a lot - the meeting of Han and Chewy felt great to me, and Chewy in general was the very best he's been since the OT (both his look and what he does) and great to see him so physical and bit scary - and surpriingly, that's a huge win.
The movie felt like it really dragged in a number of places, and characters like Bettany's and the Efys Nest person were quite weak (not gonna mention Lando's droid and "her" subplot,) and some sequences - like the mining colony/cloudy-space sequences too bland, predictable and not visually unique enough especially while channeling classic sequences like the Asteroid field from ESB.
And I know the force has been off-limits in the standalones, but the "keep the Empire to the background and focus on the criminals" mandate in this movie felt like it left a huge hole - like we see a Star Destroyer and TIEs but we never cut to any Imperials.
I get what they were trying to do but part of the issue is that OT Han's character is 50/50 from Western and Noir conventions, and you really can't delve into the story conventions of those genres fully given what SW is as a brand today. So the movie had a hint of Noir, but not really, and slightly Western, but not really. So you're left with a heist movie for kids, and that's going to feel off for everyone. A surprising choice from the writer/director of "Body Heat."
I'm not at all in the hating Kathleen Kennedy camp (she's an exec who's communing with the buzz terms of the era) but my guess is that Solo's sub-$100m opening and production tumult, coupled with the RO director replacement and the TLJ backlash is trouble for her longer term at LFL. With the political climate being as it is, my guess is Disney can't fire her and will gradually freeze her out, steadily forcing her to quit but will resign the company after Ep IX, as an "end of an era" thing.

She does say she’s known about it for a couple months however, probably when they were more optimistic. If Solo pans out the way it’s looking to pan out right now, I doubt this would ever get made

Boba Fett was the only one that had the balls to stand up to Vader on freezing Han and was singled out for disintegrations in the bounty Hunter line up. That's enough implication that he's a bad ass. Lando spends the entire film pretty much annoyed with Han if anything. You seem him really flirt when he tries to turn up the charm in Daenerys

Fake fan. I bet she likes The Big Band Theory too. She's one of those fake geeks who likes EVERYTHING nerdy because it's trendy. You can tell by the SW, Harry Potter, and MCU crap behind her. If LOTR and ST were trendy, she would have a bunch of LOTR and ST crap in the background. #harambe

Balls, Boba fett barely says "hes worth more to me alive" he says a line.... and he says it in a careful weary manner. He might as well be saying "This delivery needs to be in good condition, I cannot Delivere a damaged product"
hes literally a Fed Ex employee............................... thast what the movie SHOWS US.... and VAder even tells him he will get paid double and he shuts up... thats the end of the "balls" he gets told he will get paid and hes quiet the rest of the time.
Im just saying, if i go By xipotec's logic and judge Boba by what the movie showed. hes just a delivery boy thats worried about his package being damaged.
