Doing a RO for ESB and ROTJ is the best path forward for SW.

Return of the Jedi and Revenge of the Sith have a few things like this (the fat keeper crying after Luke kills the rancor with that eerie music, Anakin getting chopped up and chargrilled after envisioning it in my head for years), but it's just not the same.

Being 100% honest I don't think I appreciated everything going on emotionally in ROTJ when I saw it - the parental stuff, the last minute sibling protection protocol, borrowing a car - but my first impression when it's mentioned is always my Burger King glasses.

I'd kill for a Shadows of the Empire movie.

My experience with Shadows was - liked the game, hated the novel, didn't read the comics, bought the action figures. I've since learned that I kinda did it wrong.

They can never cast Dash Rendar for me because he will never look blocky enough like the video game.

Well there's one.

I'm in so long as there's no Xizor or Grace Jones Chewy.

I'm not kidding. Incursions into ATAT factories, Fett at Ord Mantell, setting up the Hoth base. Like RO but with snow.

And the Empire exterminating Ewoks on Endor before building the DS bunkers - who wouldn't want to see that?

They can never cast Dash Rendar for me because he will never look blocky enough like the video game.

His action figure had shoulders that were twice as wide as a normal human, so maybe they could start there.

Those were some popular figs. I bought them fresh. Comic book mini series was one if the best ever. The game never got old in those days.

I'd rather get a remake of the game.

My avatar is young Han Solo ejecting from his something-somthing 68 speeder on the instruction sheet for the Hasbro toy. I found it amusing in an IKEA kinda way.

What was your take on Solo?

Just got home from 2nd viewing.

The build up to the cameo is so freaking exhilarating but why was that character chosen.

Maul was young and cool in TPM, like AXL Rose in the 80's and 90's.

Now Maul is old. Just be glad that he doesn't look like Chucky and sounds like Mickey Mouse, like old AXL. ;_;

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

there are so many references in Solo that linked to animated series "Clone Wars"

those who haven't watched that series yet will definitely zero clue...especially that cameo in the end

 

[amos brearly]

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

I haven't enjoyed a Movie as much as Solo in a good long while.

Best thing about it for me was that we almost went a whole SW movie without a lightsaber. Nothing against the all powerful force but I do not care for the Jedi/force overload we get with most SW movies. Boring for the most part.

This movie, more than any other SW sequel/prequel/story took me back to 1977 and what it was all originally about.

I found it a total blast. Great job Ron Howard.

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

Well Maul won’t be alive for long he needs to die....AGAIN....before ANH.

Will it be Obi Wan that takes him out again lol

Oh man imagine an Ewan/Park rematch!

So I take it Q’ira eventually becomes a royal red guard.

My main problem with that is

Spoiler

That in SW Solo is skeptical of the force and has never encountered Jedi/Sith before, so in Solo 2 or 3 does that mean he'll never even meet Maul?

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

I doubt they'll use Park. They'll Thanos the role and get Josh Brolin or Ryan Gosling to play Maul, not a stunt guy.

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

Two-Tubes is now in the two-films or more club. As much as Piett and Dooku, almost as much as Tarkin. Then again, so is Maul.

He needs an HT figure made of him.

And holochess is in the three-films-or-more club!

i will pay to see that rematch

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

I think Two-Tubes ultimately kills Maul.

It's amazing to have such a good Star Wars without frickin' R2-D2! Or 3PO! Must be the first time. Makes this a classic for that alone.



I'm jealous that Jye + Khev saw this movie a 2nd time already. Do you guys go alone? In trench coats and everything? Are kids afraid to sit next to you?

I may have to go by myself to see this again, no one will go with me. I'm going to wear a trench coat and see what the fun is all about.
