I think his resurrection cheapens the only great part in TPM.
Now I want the Emperor, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Grievous, Shmii and Nute Gunray resurrected.
Ok maybe not Grievous lol

You know Kennedy’s days are numbered when JOHN CAMPEA posts a video saying she needs to step down
Hell considering his reputation is that of a Disney shill one could then say he has insider information which means her ceremonial fall on the sword is imminent.

Qui-Gon did resurrect, in a way. Only Yoda could speak to him though. I wonder when an amputee Mace Windu will come leaping back atop the corruscant skyscrapers, flailing his arms about and fumbling to even hold a lightsaber, yet still looking for a fight. It could happen...
Personally, I’m of the crowd that Han shot first, Boba took the slow road to hell and Darth Maul got served up in a Gungan deli.

Great to see Solo improved TPM for both Khev and I, in our own ways.
For me it was because I have a new least-favorite SW film!
(But I still need to see Solo again, just to be sure)

But I drink Budweiser, so for that I lose 3 Irish points...or pints
If you ever previously mentioned that you're Irish I completely forgot by the way.
I have to hand it to you, as a fellow Irishman, if you grinned more during Rogue One that is TRULY Irish.

Solo edges out RO for me simply because it hides its seams much better. Both had troubled productions, but it’s hard for me to watch RO without noticing all the things that they clearly took out or changed pretty late into the production. Still love it, but Solo definitely seems to flow much more naturally towards a carefully planned out and satisfying conclusion.

Maul's cameo is 100% confirmation that there's a Maul standalone movie as a possibility, and that is unfortunate.
The idea of his scuttling around on mechanical legs sounds like it might be a bit iffy from a disability shaming standpoint though. What's interesting is that problem is probably subtle enough that Disney won't realize their error until it's too late.
This has probably happened a few too many times for it not to at least suggest that Howard is not exactly a TLJ fan. He keeps doing it over and over.
It must be sort of frustrating for him though - he made a pretty damn good SW movie and its performing how TLJ should have, and that's at least partly because of the "aftertaste" (as Deadline termed it) of TLJ.
But to paraphrase the old saying - a franchise is only as good as its last film. Maybe that bodes well for Ep IX - but it doesn't help Solo or Howard.

Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)
This just simply cannot be overstated. Remember when we scoffed at the idea of a Han Solo prequel and then all but washed our hands of it being even remotely good when they passed on Ingruber? And now here we are. I hesitate to overpraise Solo compared to RO since it's only a week old but dammit if Howard, Kasdan, and Kennedy didn't pull off one of the most amazing cinematic feats ever with bringer a young Han Solo to life on the big screen that doesn't feel like an alternate universe Han, doesn't feel like a reboot, but rather made me accept that I was watching the actually legit backstory of the "real" Han Solo as we've always known him in the OT.
It's very hard to choose between RO and Solo right now especially since they provide different SW experiences that don't really overlap. But man what a pair of films we now have.

Disregarding the ST here is Han in both his first and last on-screen military battles.
In the first image he's watching a man impersonate an Imperial Officer and in the second image he is a man impersonating an Imperial Officer.
He also utilized "furry help" each time in ways that the Empire never anticipated.

Not quite. Han's impersonating an ATST pilot who's reporting to an Imperial officer/Commander, but I like the symmetry.
Loved seeing Han in the Imperial uniform, though they kinda cheated - like with Finn - by not showing him killing for the Empire.
And I was already salivating over the Hot Toys Han disguise helmet to replace the Hasbro ATST helmet on my ROTJ Han ATST custom figure.

If they’re doing this many figures of Han... I want a Qi’Ra. I want it Hot Toys. Emilia needs some good 1/6th representation. And before anyone says it... no, ThreeZero failed.

Qi-Ra didn't have any cool outfits though - they were kinda boring by SW standards. Glad to see the HT Mimban trooper in the background. I'm passing on the regular Solo Han to get the muddy version with that trooper.
The ThreeZero proto looked good - was that in in-hand fail?

I’m worried that every death in SW has been ruined by bringing Maul back.

Won’t happen. Hot Toys didn’t make three main characters in RO. Solo is flopping. Toy sales in toilet.
Do not see Hot Toys making many figures from Solo if they did not from RO which was a hit.

No doubt. But the 18 month wait before Episode IX gives at least some hope that HT might tackle a few of them (Range Trooper, Enfys Nest, and hopefully Lando and Qi'ra.)
