'Cuz they're neat. My favorite 3.75" Vader is the Ralph McQuarrie figure. I thought it was cool how he had a blaster.

I'd love to see Hot Toys try their hand at one.

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.

Stupid SW cartoon :gah:

I watched Rogue One again...Vader slaughtering Rebels is just incredible.

And look! I spelled Rogue correctly!

Finally saw solo on a streaming device, didn’t pay for it, and I have to say it’s reasonable entertaining. A couple of facepalm moments but for the most part a fun ride. The Han Chewy moments were the best parts. Really pulled out the nostalgia in me.

L337 wasn’t as annoying as I thought it was going to be but still annoying. Funny that she was the blunt of the jokes and sad she was assimilated in the end.

Love those little Easter eggs.

The last thing I have to say about it is the fact that Lando’s sexual preferences were not overly expressed. The only logical reason I can conclude from Kasdan releasing the news of his pansexual is to create buzz around it to boost ticket sales. Not sure it helped or was a smart business move but it was obviously a ploy. I think I would have enjoyed the movie more if they didn’t divulge that part of his character and allow people to speculate and discover these things for themselves. George never felt the need to explain much of anything and fans got it.

Jabba the Hutt was an asexual slug with male and female parts that presented masculine and obviously had a son in the clone wars but there was no need to blatantly state these things in the media or in the movies themselves. Fans found out this information for themselves if they were interested by reading the books on characters and species. Leave a little more to the imagination please.

I hope they do another Solo to show how he got in trouble with Jabba in the first place. Solid 6.5/10.

I have no issue with Maul returning. Aside from being around for years in the awesome cartoons for people with sophisticated palates, who the hell knows where his organs are?

Grievous was a brain on a hanger. There’s a girl in Solo with half a head.

The kick is good.

The believability is really not the main problem though.

I think it weakens the epic climatic battle of Obi-Wan coming into his own after his master was murdered.

It eradicated Obi-Wan’s personal journey.
 
Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)

Obi-Wan truly accomplished nothing if you are keeping score.

A pointless hero who creates a monster. Several actually.
 
Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)

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.



That was one of the cooler things I have seen in a while.. Thanks for sharing.

Obi wan killed grievous, handed down Anakins lightsaber to Luke and told him about Yoda.
 
Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25th, 2018)

Nah even with Maul's return Obi-Wan still kills him. And dead or not in TPM a victory is still a victory.

I agree.

Since the Clone Wars Show did nothing but improve the PT then I have no complaints.

The show is not perfect. Like any show it had some bad episodes. But it had some episodes that just fantastic.

I think the show is another reason why I don't hate on the PT as much because it gave us the Obi Wan and Anakin friendship background that was needed in the PT.

Plus it is responsible for one of my all time fav Star Wars characters with Ahsoka Tano. She was annoying at first but grew into one of Star Wars best.

Finally Home and I can type on a real keyboard..

Interesting to see you think its Neck and Neck with RO.

Thinking of both of these films and my first time viewing of them I would say I liked Solo more. Had it not been for the Vader scene I would have left RO a little disappointed. Now Repeat viewing of RO have made it an all time classic SW film and I would say its will always be a little better then Solo.

However I have to ask.. Was this film really dark for your showings? I mean it was really hard to see the first 30+ min. I know a lot of it took place in darker areas but man I really felt the brightness level was way down in the theater I was at.

It actually affected my enjoyment. If it was intentional then I think it was a bad choice. If not and it was the theater I think I will like it more the next time I go see it.

Anyways it was a fun fun FUN time at the movies.

I was not thrilled with Lando's robot but only when she was talking about her relationship with Lando... It was just goofy. "We can talk.. Its just us"

Yes SW films humanize their droids but this went a bit too far IMO. Just goofy. I did not mind her freeing the droids as it is fun to See Gonk droids causing havoc :lol

Seeing lot of strange discussions here in the board as per usual with a SW film but they don;t seem as depressingly negative as TLJ threads were

Of course why would it be? This is a vastly superior SW film.

A lot of...solo... people watching the film this weekend.

While much of the coverage of “Solo: A Star Wars Story” focuses on its subpar box office performance, many fans and critics have expressed disappointment with a more immediate problem: The movie is hard to see. The “Solo” Reddit thread is packed with opening-weekend moviegoers complaining the film was so dark they had trouble making out characters’ faces or details in the film’s expansive galactic settings.

The DCEU was really dark and muted.
