Rose Tico

Tobias Beckett

Rio

Val

Who is choosing these names? They got no zing. No "from a galaxy far, far away" sound.

And the wannabe western names of Solo are really bad.

Oh look i’m going to watch a blurry IW2 on my laptop opening night lol

Never understood the insatiable desire to see something to the point that you view it under horrible conditions just to "see it".

Then its not surprising when that person hates most movies he watches.


RIDDDDDDDDIIIIIICCCCCKKKKKK!!!!!! Is that you?

Added to the KK touch list:

Luke Skywalker - a bum with a murderous mind who turned his back on his family and friends during the rise of the First Order.

Han Solo - a deadbeat who abandoned his wife and son when they needed him most.

Leia Organa Solo - the partner in the feminist cause and in the bedroom of Admiral Gender Studies herself, Amilyn Holdo.

Rey - an unparalleled Mary Sue with an incomparable jobber aura who was created solely to be a feminist icon.

Finn - the classic token black character. A joke.

Poe - a now emasculated symbol of "toxic masculinity".

Kylo Ren - an immature manjina with no compelling reason for turning to the Dark Side.

I actually enjoyed this movie.

Much better than The Last Jedi.

I was actually going to pass on seeing this movie, but one of my co-workers gave it a thumbs up, and we both hated TLJ, so I'm glad I gave this one a shot.

Kinda reminds me of the original Pirates of the Caribbean. Twas a movie that did not need to be made, but they made the heck out of what they had.

The Han Chewy moments were the best parts. Really pulled out the nostalgia in me.

You’ve been waiting 41 years for a Han and Chewie shower scene?

Kennedy: "Begin replacing all male extras with women. Make the Force stronger with them too."

Johnson: "My lord, is that canon?"

Kennedy: "I will make it canon."

Trevorrow: "This game of yours has failed, we dare not go against the fans."

Kennedy: "Johnson, I don't want this stunted slime in my sight again."

Johnson: "But what of the returning OT cast?"

Kennedy: "Abrams should have never brought them into this. Kill them immediately."

Have not read rest of thread since this post. Immediate reaction upon reading

Man that just sounds so lonely and depressing.

Opening night IW2 the energy in the theater will be off the charts the movie was filmed with Imax cameras and will be presented on an Imax screen in an exhilarating shared experience!

Meanwhile in some dark basement sits a porn addicted person who hates being around other humans slurping a mountain dew ready for the bootleg IW2 to be released

Not really. You check out library books for free. You’re not supposed to keep them. Same with YouTube videos.

Equating borrowing from a library with streaming a movie that's still in theaters? You know that's not the same.

Let me put it to you this way, whatever Disney content is on YouTube, is there because Disney doesn't care. If they cared, they would have a storm of 1,000 lawyers descending on YouTube in minutes. Trust me, nothing gets by them that pops up on a mainstream site.

I like that way of putting it.

Time will tell with this film. I don't think there's anything in it that will make me outright hate it. That being the case it will end up being an acceptable backstory to Han Solo and Chewbacca.

Maybe this is the way it is to be now. Reasonably entertaining movie, doesn't blatantly contradict what I previously knew about core characters = happy to accept as canon.

I will say, I can't believe they canonized Teras Kasi.

I also can't believe they canonized Maul being alive. But the Teras Kasi thing ... that was a deep cut. That was like the first time that I experienced something Star Wars that wasn't good, so them reaching that far into the bag of tricks for a reference in a movie that I was trying to examine every nook and cranny of the screen to see what nods and Easter eggs I could find ... oof.

So I've read this isn't doing so well.
I haven't seen it, and don't really plan on going to the movies for this. What's the consensus here?

KK ruined another SW movie.

7.8/10

Most people say it's a mediocre sci fi movie, made worse in being a pandering Solo origin story that inundates you with every trivial tidbit of information you can imagine. Meanwhile, it softens Solo from the "scoundrel" we know from A New Hope. Some defenders of the film argue it's meant to be a trilogy, and that Solo will go from altruistic hero to scoundrel by the 3rd installment (so that Solo can come full circle in the OT).

It's not a bad film. I'd say it's underwhelming, as have most critics. If you hated TLJ, Solo won't bother you nearly as much. It's not as good as Rogue One. As a generic sci fi movie it's a 7/10, but as a Solo movie I'd give it a 5.5/10.

Does not seem like anything is doing particularly well at the box office For early summer....

Its just so weird to see you posting this sort.. I know you still like TLJ but still its strange.

Solo may be my fav Star Wars film do to the waking effect it had on you

Impressive. Most impressive.

Let's not forget Glover is in it too -- so much for his pull to open a movie.


This movie needed:

1) Boba Fett in his Empire gear

2) Jabba the Hutt


I don't mean cameo - I mean scene or scenes like Vader and Tarkin.




3) Wakanda - seems the only way to guarantee insane profits from a mediocre movie.

I thought before seeing the film that Fett should have been the main villain to help spark interest.

Also I personally would rather see Fett in a Solo film then get his own movie.

Solo is more of a scoundrel wannabe.

Woody's character is what Solo thought of himself but he is "the good guy" Self preservation is a very important part of his character.. I think that has more to do with being a "scoundrel" then anything else. He;s a lot of talk but not really the bad ass he likes to act like.

I thought Solo did a good job of demonstrating this. Plus siding with the "pirates" I think had as much to do with getting his girl away from "Vision" as it did helping their cause. (I could be remembering all that wrong )

I also thought the film did a good job of not explaining were every single origin came from.

I don;t know.. I thought it did almost everything 100% correct.. Never once did I not feel like I was watching a young Han Solo and Lando on the screen. That is IMO an amazing feet all on its own. Add to the fact that it was very entertaining and you have what is IMO a very very good Star Wars film.

Having grown up with Star Wars and the early expanded universe novels of Brian Daley and L. Neil Smith, which were very in-keeping with the style of Star Wars at that time, I can only say that Solo felt authentic. Couldn't ask for much more than that.
