Solo: A Star Wars Story

No, that's in ROTS. There are other Corellian freighters like it on Naboo in AOTC too, but nothing in TPM.

No it is seen in TPM. Even the blue color scheme seen in Solo when it was Lando's.



Never mind. I think that's ROTS. The internet is stupid. Dumb Google. I too thought I remembered it, but it does seem it was only ROTS & AOTC like you said.

I can live with that line up

Damn I failed with my gif lol

Oh i’m definately worshipping it

Oh okay sweet then, lol.

Khev is the Selma Hayek of SW discussions so that actually makes perfect sense!

I've been thinking of changing my title since with RO, Solo, and now TPM I'm hardly a prequel denier but don't think I can bring myself to choose "Salma Hayek of SW Discussions," lol.

That idea is just so crazy I love it.

Straight from “Little Annie” to him choking Krennic his first on screen imperial choke then to Antilles his first on screen rebel choke.

Dude you just made me like TPM wtf!

TPM has never really "fit" with AOTC/ROTS IMO and not just because of the practical sets and real world locations. For one AOTC pretty much pulled a "TFA" in that it undid the victory from the previous movie. At the end of TPM: Nute Gunray imprisoned with his Trade Franchise about to be "kissed goodbye" and all of his droid armies assumedly on the verge of decommission. But then AOTC says "nevermind he simply got out of jail and is continuing with the droid empire like nothing ever happened." Lame (among a million other lame things obviously.)

Also with no Jake Llord, Darth Maul, or Liam Nesson AOTC hardly felt like a true continuation anyway. So if you ditch AOTC/ROTS altogether then the Trade Federation's defeat is a compartmentalized little war with no goofy evolution into Separatists using even sassier Battle Droids and so on. The Clone Wars, Fall of the Jedi, and Rise of the Empire get to continue as mythic conflicts that are only referenced and imagined, never shown.

In other news I see that last November Carl Cunningham (IrishJedi) was sentenced to one year in jail for stealing all that SW merchandise and then three years probation. So I guess he'll be a free man in a few months.

Hmmm are you sure.

Hold on let me ask my friend loki2371.

Your new trilogy is certainly helped by the fact that AOTC starts with an adult Anakin it’s like GL was trying to distance himself from TPM as much as possible lol.

I like it that we skip over Padme’s death and thankfully never see Grievous ughhh I hate him from the movie he was so awesome in the original Clone Wars cartoon.

More importantly we skip over the battle of Kashyyyk!

Yep and now with Han paraphrasing that the Empire took over Kashyyyk and sent Wookiee slaves off-world we have all the info we need about Kashyyyk in a canon film.

I've long viewed TPM as the best of Lucas's prequel trilogy and now Khev has me damn curious to watch it again before I see Solo tomorrow....

Grace said Solo was boring as all hell contender for worst movie of the year.

She obviously didn’t watch TPM before Solo.

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

Just looking at the art book. beautiful stuff - wish we had seen some of Solo in the flight academy.

Yeah, I just ordered the Art Of and DK Guide book on Amazon. The Art Of book looks really cool.

This is the first SW movie in a long time I'm jumping on the merchandising bandwagon for in a fairly significant way. I realized yesterday that someone finally made a movie that feels like Star Wars. RO got quite a few things right, but its such a dour, humorless slog that it doesn't "feel" as much like the classic SW films as it does looks and progresses like one. Even though I was kind of in the middle in terms of liking Solo, there are parts I loved and tonally it's right. "Fun" is not a term you have been able to apply to a Star Wars film in long time.

Really hoping HT does another maybe 3 figs, and hopefully two of them are the unique troopers.

IrishJedi on here was the guy who stole Phillip's RF Fett? Wow, had no idea. IJ was a pretty decent member on here from what I recall. He was in the Indy section and always saw him around quite a bit.

A year in jail for stealing a toy, albeit one that's worth $30k, seems a bit steep though. It wasn't even a break-in - I think he was good friends with Phillip and sort popped it in his pocket while he was visiting Phillip's "museum." I guess maybe there was more to it than I'm aware of though.

He was a recalcitrant pantey waste.

I wonder if he'll find his way back here.

Will he now be known as IrishSith...?

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

I regard all of the films as canon. I just don't have to watch TPM or AOTC. I start with ROTS (which I love) and go to (now) Solo, RO, OT and ST. I love most aspects of all the movies except TPM and AOTC. I will regard them as they told me what happened, but I do not ever have to watch them again.

RP still has it.

Yup he’s coming back for sure.

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

Soon there will be an entire world of Star Wars that is made up of RO, Solo, Kenobi and Fett....

I'm betting RO and Solo gain a much larger audience over time on television and streaming with the younger generation. That is of course if Star Wars remains relevant to young audiences and doesn't become an uncool buzz word for cliché Disney nonsense.

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

I’m ready for the Skywalker saga to end and I don’t think i’ll continue on with the Rey saga.

I’m content with another 10 movies from the OT era though and honestly i’m really open for reworking the PT.

It’s very easy to hate Disney but they delivered Alden against ALL ODDS.

For me regardless of Solo’s abysmal box office that’s one of their greatest accomplishments.
