Solo: A Star Wars Story

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

Still have yet to see it.. Going later this week. Just not that excited. First SW film I have not seen on Opening day or weekend.

Sorry Khev. I blame The Last Jedi

Dude, go! I liked it so much I'm back to considering forsaking TFA and TLJ as canon and just sticking with the OT and spin-offs.

If this was around in 2005 we would get a battle pack of Han and CHewie in the shower (possibly with Lando peeping).

Also, not sure it's been mentioned, but does L3 call Lando "Landonis" when she's annoyed with him? Like the way you use your kid's full name when you're trumping up some charges to send them to bed?

I didn't catch that but I did think it was funny that her sassy brain is what 3PO will have such a hard time communicating with when trying to figure out what's wrong with the hyperdrive in ESB, lol.

It was funny how her off-hand suggestion to the R2 unit on Kessel inadvertently caused a major uprising when he took her literally.

I liked the 4 armed guy. I liked how he said wookie.

In the good old days there would be at least 2 action figures of him by now.

Agree. As a SW figure collector since I was in grade three, I don’t feel Disney is pushing as much figures/characters out as I feel they should be. Even going back to the PT releases the department stores was a “event” with how many figures were released at the same time (including obscure characters). But then again todays Disney figures look extremely cheap and asking three to four times the price!! But yeah Rio should have been out ‘Day One’.

I have not done the math but I feel that the Disney Era four movies have killed off more characters than the entire OT. Im not a fan of this especially from a child’s perspective. Also from the fact that Disney is killing off characters that they can actually used for their own SW Universe rather than relying of OT & PT.

I will have to disagree I think not only did he look good but are you ready for this.

Are you sitting?

His up close death was actually more realistic and more sad THAN NOLAN’s TALIA death scene!

Yes a cartoon had a better death than an actor directed by Nolan!

See now you can appreciate Rio a little more lol

No seriously watching his death was pretty damn weird for a SW alien no less.

Han was like...wow wtf.

And yes loved his “Is that a Wookie” line lol

Well, you're comparing his death to an extremely awkward (and laughable) scene in TDKR, can't really argue there, but it's not exactly a high water mark. Still didn't like him, if that will change on repeated viewings, I don't know. His cartoony look reminded me of Sebulba.

The only problems I really had with this movie were 4-armed guy and Boring Bettany. Oh, and no Bossk, I wanted to see Trandoshan Wookie hunters.

I can accept that Han doesn't get mixed up in spice smuggling until he meets Jabba, I mean, this is only his first day on the job, for crying out loud.

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

There's like 10 Hans I want from this movie, lol. Corellia, Mudtrooper, Train Heist, Kessel Guard disguise, Smuggler, etc.

A. My favorite was snow Han (then mud) right after the train scene when he got punched and lectured to by Beckett. My wife said he looked very handsome there with his thick hair I agree pan sexual jye out.

B. Beckett looked great in his Skiff disguise!

C. Q’ira looked great on Kessel with her cape very bad ass with that hairstyle.

Why do people keep referring to Lando as Pan-sexual? I don't recall him having sex with anybody.

Her advise and recommendations to the other droids were hilarious.

I am not going to lie.. You and Jye have given me hope with this film.

The above statement are bold words indeed.

If Solo brings you to my vision of the SW universe then it has got be something special

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

I never dreamed that I'd ever see

Spoiler

a young Han in Imperial gear mouthing off to a superior in front of other troops

in a way that perfectly captured his character. I thought it was so stupid and offensive for them to even try. I couldn't be more happy to be wrong.

I have to ask why you would omit TFA and TLJ from canon? I think they all fit in quite beautifully. But I admit TLJ missed a Han Solo type character. Would have been cool if that was DJ, but I am in the camp that hates his character.

Just because of the warm fuzzies of ROTJ's implied ending that the heroes all lived happily ever after. I still greatly enjoy TFA and TLJ as individual films in their own right. But I can't deny that they took a bit of an "Alien 3" departure in how harsh they were on the main characters that we'd spent so much time with beforehand.

Omit the Sequels and not only does Han live, but you also omit the embarrassing Ben Solo character.

It was all going great until they had the teenager from hell.

Yeah, the anti-sjw thing is so laughable on this one considering how "droids rights" is presented. Not only does Lando roll his eyes at the notion but even L3 herself sort of doesn't give a **** about it when she's on-mission. "What do I do now?" "I dunno, free your brothers and sisters or something." Cut to gonks beating on computer panels with lunch trays.

Her advise and recommendations to the other droids were hilarious.

It somehow reminded me of joe Pesci parroting "Free South Africa you dumb sonofabitch" in LW2. Talk about a series with some weak-ass messaging. Save the dolphins!

Why do people keep referring to Lando as Pan-sexual? I don't recall him having sex with anybody.

Because media outlets ask everyone about sexuality and the writer and actor gave slightly expanded versions of "yeah, sure."

The 4-armed alien was great, loved him. Wish there was a bit more of him.
