I’m not going to bail on Luke, Leia and Han it’s just not in my dna to simply abandon these characters that’s asking me to walk away from my childhood **** that noise not going to happen.

I promised myself at a young age to stick with these characters regardless of the situation they’re put into thick or thin.

Thankfully TFA/TLJ are nowhere the equivalent of Crystal Skull bad lol

If anything the OT cast kicked *** especially my man Hamill!

I’m there baby!

I don't believe you.

Regarding Solo I still prefer RO but it’s a respectable little follow up to that movie nonetheless.

Even with its character issues, I really have come to love RO. But yes, Solo is right up there. If it just ended better. I feel like I could leave the theater once they arrive at that beach and not really miss anything.... yet RO starts rocking as soon as they hit their beach.

Disney is the Beach Star Wars.

Older couple leaving the theater complaining they fell asleep...older dude says he fell asleep twice, older woman says she was fighting sleep...

This is me. I didn't find the action sequences particularly exciting (possibly because we know Han, Chewie et al survive) and my mind actually started to wander during one of them.

But I'll give it a second viewing just in case it improves. RT audience score is inching up a percent at a time.


(P.S. Is s*** still considered profanity round these parts?)

Disney is the Beach Star Wars.

That was another of my issues. The Disney Wars settings are starting to feel samey.

Yep for me Episode IX will probably be a make or break film on whether I ultimately accept the ST as canon or just watch them as well done (if somewhat depressing in parts) "What if" adventures. RO and Solo are absolutely canon for me though, of that there's no question.

I hope I can say the same of the bolded part. My brother saw it and loved it, he wants to see it again on Friday so that's when I'll go. He has the same stance as I do, that the standalones are where it's truly at now and that the sequel movies have failed to justify themselves. So I think it's likely I'll agree with him and enjoy Solo.

Damn son 2 just 4 weeks apart no less!

You were smart for skipping DP2.

Jye what the hell is that in your signature? Crows has a creepy avatar now too that is almost as scary as yours. You guys could be the Two Tubes of our world. Did you share the same pod? We need Wor-Gullet to sort this out.

Anybody else see Solo in 3D? My showing was really dark, wondering if it's just the projectionist screwed up or if it's the norm?

Watching ESB right now and it was cool to see Han and Lando's first meeting on Cloud City play like Lando gets Han back for making him think he was about to attack him in the last scene of Solo.

The brightness looked fine in my 3D showing but the 3D itself was pretty much non-existent. It looked much better the second time with Dolby 2D Laser Projection.

Oh boy....my poor ironwez, if you only KNEW......
they are French royalty. not only that but they are two of France biggest celebrities,

they are scientists with a lot of papers published, they are authors of best selling books and they are certified pilots.

they also own shares in nano technology companies and have IQs or 160 points.

they have doctorate degrees in physics and mathematics and speak Russian, German, French and English fluently.

(none of that is a lie, everything is actually true, they really are royal scientist best selling author geniuses)

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

My buddy and I came away from the movie thinking Lando was maybe having sex with L3. The saving her scene was so over dramatic in how it was shot. Maybe that’s where the pansexual thing came from, whatever that even means. I think they took a character like K2 and tried to outdo him, but immediately jumped the shark with L3 from her opening lines.

Saw it in 2D and thought my screen was pretty dark too. Hopefully just our particular screens.

If I let Return of the Jedi into my heart for only a few positive reasons, despite the overwhelmingly bad things about it, then I have to do it with Revenge of the Sith. If I do it with Revenge of the Sith, then I have to do it with The Phantom Menace and Rogue One, which also have decent aspects to them despite being mostly crap.

To allow yourself to love Return of the Jedi is opening the floodgates to everything that ended up going wrong with Star Wars. It's hypocrisy. You follow that dark path and you end up like the people that love Attack of the Clones and The Last Jedi, I don't want to be one of these people!

You, like the Ayatollah who decreed that Fatwa, are all about absolutes.

There are degrees of crap:

ROTJ 40%
RO 45%
ROTS 65%
TLJ 80% (the physical presence of MH being the other 20%)
TPM 87%
AOTC 92% (literally everything except Jango/Obi rain battle)

For me, under 50% crap holds the possibility of passage into my heart - IF - what is on the other side of that is good (not just "decent.") Much that is not crap in TLJ, TPM and ROTS for example is decent, not good.

The film compliments and adds to their history in Empire so well. I enjoyed it so much.
