The ghosts of Han, Luke, and Yoda will appear in the last scene of Episode IX to smile at Rey with Han's ghost alone inexplicably being his younger self just like Anakin in the ROTJ:SE.

I want a sequel. Full of bounty hunters and scum.

Due to Kennedy's costly mistake of initially hiring the Lego Movie directors I doubt it will happen. I definitely wouldn't mind a "scum and villainy" trilogy with Q'ira being the unlikely link between all three. Have her link

Spoiler

Crimelord Maul

to the upcoming Obi-Wan movie and then segue that into Mangold's Fett with Alden again.

Though now that they've retconned

Spoiler

Maul's death

I can see them doing the same for Fett and have his movie take place after ROTJ.

I want to hear the tica-tica-tic of Han's spider legs as they scuttle across the floor to his son.

Han: Hold me.

If the severing of his entire goddamn body didn't kill him within seconds, when his upper half hit the bottom of that shaft and was pulverized into bone fragments, fluids, and powder, what was left to scrape up and put back together?

Maul being alive in any way shape or form is dumb. It's just plain dumb. At least Boba Fett went into the sarlacc pit "whole" and has a lot of weapons on him so could have conceivably clawed his way out with a lot of effort.

But good lord, fans' willingness to accept Maul being able to survive just cause he was "cool looking" and wanted to see him in more stuff is just dumb, in my opinion. But sticking him in this movie with no explanation whatsoever is ever dumber.

But on a par with the level of laziness, plot holes, and general stupidity I've come to expect from Disney Wars.

Your not wrong....

Watch the last 2 seasons of Clone wars for explanations of a great many things....

Problem is SW fans want reasonable and plausible explanations about how and why their space wizard do stuff.....

I mean they even explain Midichlorian in the last episode...

It does explain everything.

I think when we see Leia's funeral, she will be holding Han's gold dice (paralleling Padme holding Anakin's necklace).

Awww, the poetry.

I didn’t think it was possible but they succeeded at showing a scary Chewbacca all narly with mud.

Chewie is so very much associated with cute and funny due to his mannerisms that it was a breath of fresh air to see a monster who had probably killed and ate other humans in that cell prior to Han saving his own life by barely speaking his language.

I also liked the reason and method they went with for his Kessel run.

First that space monster was freaking terrifying and awesome.

Them having to use the actual cargo to escape a black hole and monster was great and it was a nice balance between time and distance because the Falcon had to take a very dangerous short cut but that short cut required for it travel very fast so it was a nice build up where both reasons served the story and made for a thrilling scene instead of them just going fast because “the falcon can”.

I also loved how calculating Han was in the sense that even though Beckett got him locked up he still kept his cool enough to save his own ass by ignoring what Beckett did to him and instead form an alliance with Beckett. Great character depth given to Han by them going that route.

I thought Rio was a great alien character and his death was one of the most realistic deaths yet in the entire series.

Going again today for my 2nd viewing because I want to see it in a Dolby screen this time so lets see how it holds up.

Honestly I didn’t have any faith in Howard yet he pulled it off.

What do I mean by that.

Well day before release there was zero faith in Alden we were all just going to celebrate watching him fall on his face.

I mean the nerve of them trying to give us a Han that doesn’t exactly look and sound like Ford, ridiculous.

Day after release and Alden now owns young Han!

Wut!

Care to explain your sig?

Is that it? It’s generational?

My kids watch YouTube all the time.....I can barely stand to watch 2 minutes of what is entertaining them...

The worst offender....watching other people play video games? When did that become fun?

Pfffff at least video games are kinda normal

Millions of people gather to watch girls eat..... thats all their vifeos are, eating in front of The camera

I hope the box office gets somewhat stronger for Solo but alas it probably won't. Love to see Alden and crew back for another movie...maybe if they do won't be called Solo 2 and will integrate these characters into a bigger story involving bounty hunters...

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

So this is interesting to me.

The Last Jedi 46 Audience score
Solo: 56 Audience score

However it seems to me that MANY more freaks are saying they Like Solo quite a bit........

Yet those two scores are basically identical.....so you would assume the vitriol TLJ created would be at least similar with Solo?

What gives?

The anthology films will continue despite this unprecedented BO bomb for a SW movie. Disney isn't stupid. They know exactly why this happened. The boycott is real. KK is probably finding Jesus right now.

Maybe to this generation...the only time my generation wanted to watch someone else play a video game was when we had to wait our turn in the arcade....

I mean ....buy they game and play it yourself?

No?

My kids can’t explain why they like it either....at least in a way this old man understands.

I would never sit an watch someone play a board game on video or real life either.

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

I definitely liked young Han better than old Han.

Think on that.


Also, mystery of why they cast Alden has been solved.

That’s why it’s a shame that he wasn’t a new character with the option for a new trilogy without the baggage of being young Han. It lessens the drama when you know the central characters are all gonna be fine.

They could call him “this generation’s Han Solo” if they wanted to give him the baggage and up the expectations. Need to give him a cool ship, just steal Dash Rendar’s Outrider and give it to this dude.

Solo doesnt preach to the audience.
Solo doesnt shame the audience
Solo doesnt disrespect the biggest hero of the franchise
Solo doesnt hire bad actors to play annoying human characters.

Even as annoying as the robot is in here is nowhere as cringe as rose

I think what we think of as a bomb, is not what Disney thinks.

The people who come up with the magic number for films may just be wrong.

If they are making 2 films a year now, they don’t need a huge opening week, as long as they are happy with the return on investment.

This movie will be a loss most likely though. Not much of a return.

Well, again Crows , your parroting what am asking.

There should be a wider margin then , not just 46 and 56.

The hate on RT forums is just as strong for Solo as TLJ, but here is for a better reception as far as I have seen...

I would think that would correlate to a 70ish on RT audience score?
