Solo: A Star Wars Story

I want them to make every figure in this pic.

Don’t see it happening. Might get half of them? And hoping to god one is Qi’Ra. I would pretty much buy anything Hot Toys puts out with Margot Robbie or Emilia Clarke’s head on it.

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?

It was pretty bad. I cancelled my pre-order and never looked back. Biggest disappointment of last year, hands down.

Nope. And I’m a huge Darth Maul fan. Where he was cut in half would be impossible to survive. Vader barely survived being set on fire.

The first simply requires belief in a magical life-after-death that has been with human beings for tens of thousands of years. I mean seriously - who knows in real life, let alone when you're dealing with space wizards in a myth story.

The second requires belief that you can be sliced in half, fall fifty stories with your lower torso lost forever, presumably lay around as a dead (cut in half, pulverized by fall) upper-half torso for hours until someone can find you... and then be restored to being ALIVE.

Yep, got it too.

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

Lol , yeah exactly how much wizardry we all can accept is always a movable reality.....

His resurrection is in clone wars season 5 if memory serves....

The basic gist is the dark side and his hate for Obi allowed him to survive....he was sent down a garbage chute (like Luke in ESB ....he didnt get squished either) and sent to a garbage planet where a worm like creature gave him spider legs and fed him people so he could steal there stuff after Maul ate them .

Maul was essentially insane for this entire time until his mind was restored by the witches of the Sith.

For me it’s no contest RO definately better than Solo.

RO has too much going for it to lose out to Solo.

We’re talking about Vader/Tarkin/Leia/Death Star/Rebel Fleet/Krennic/K2SO/Sacrificial ending

I was talking strictly first time viewing..

RO is the better film.. But first time viewing I was a little let down until Vader showed up. 2nd viewing and on proved this film is a SW classic.

I don't think Solo will continue to improve with repeat viewings but I think it will always remain fun and an easy watch.

I think Maul could have survived the fall... if he had legs.

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

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

I disagree. Maul was on the short list of characters (along with Fett and possibly Mace Windu) whose death was implied but not shown. Snoke was cut in half yes but the camera specifically showed his lifeless face afterward. Other characters like Tarkin, Greedo, Jabba, Vader/Anakin, Biggs, Jango, Uncle Owen, Aunt Beru, Yoda, etc., were all shown to be either vaporized or lying lifelessly.

Plus the combination of both Maul and Fett technically being conscious when they disappeared from frame PLUS the fact that their deaths were kind of lame make them viable candidates for return. That's it though. No one else.

So now that the “you ***** my childhood” PT are hailed as masterpieces 18 years after release I can’t wait for TLJ to be hailed as a masterpiece 18 years from now.

I don’t see the reason for Fett or Maul to survive. They played their part. If you want more of the same, just get another tatted-up Zabrak to turn to the dark side. And then there’s Boba Fett’s offspring.

What is it some people tend to quote here often... “Dead is better.”

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

I do think because Solo had fewer characters it was able to devote more time to flesh them out better than the 1,500 characters in RO.

RO is just the better spectacle.

Are they really going to show Maul walking like Grievous in a future movie

Didn’t he break his neck in that 500 foot fall......while cut in half lol

This is why I enjoyed Solo more then RO on a first viewing basis.. I remember the first time I saw RO and I was actually a little stressed trying to keep up with the characters and remember all their weird names.. Then add on the fact they kept jumping from planet to planet.. I was always worried I was going to miss something

Solo was simple fun... So first time viewing Solo won.

But RO stands the test of time and like you stated before.. Just too many great moments to be passed by Solo.

I do wonder if Solo might get more viewings in the long run since its such a fun movie.

It was season 4.

All the Maul stuff in Clone Wars was great stuff IMO.

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

Yeah , I agree. Dead should stay dead....

Although Snoke could come back of the body jumping Sith Lord theory was true

I need to watch some of that show. Whenever I see clips of it, it looks pretty well done.

I love how Maul's brother has yellow make-up instead of red though.

I'm sure he'll come back with bad smoker's cough.

Oh wait...

I guess i’ll get used to it.

Didn't GL himself say he cut Maul in half so that he couldn't possibly come back?

(Despite the fact that GL also approved his eventual comeback -- but GL has a habit of just giving up on Star Wars after a certain point in order to sell toys)



And in Star Wars, what 'death' is not implied?

Tarkin, could have easily been inside a destructive proof room -- a super-steel sphere that sailed away from the blast.

Jabba? Hell, he just passed out. Then woke and slipped out a trap door before the ship exploded.

Death? No one dies in Star Wars.... or Marvel.

Star Wars and Marvel Zombies cross-over incoming.

Not Solo related and a bit rough (and not sure if this was posted elsewhere,) but this was sort of cool. Film school project to do SW teaser bringing to life McQuarrie artwork.

I’m sorry but I never understood why people like the concept art stuff so much. It’s conceot art. Is there a reason why fans like these designs so much or no?
