I’m a little lax in my Star Wars history, but can someone please help me with this? Maul got cut in half when Anakin was 8 maybe 9? During tg Clone Wars, 10 years later he was brought back to life then at the end of the clone wars he became the head of black sun. Now at that time Anakin was maybe his early twenties Luke was a baby and Han was a late teen? Three years later Han meets Lando and gets the falcon. So then Vader is about 10 years older than Han? So at the start of A New Hope Han is 32 and Vader is 42, 43?

Your response totally reminded me of Ralphie in "A Christmas Story."

"Oh fuuuuuudge" lol.

Lets ask C3PO what the odds are that Abrams can save the ST.

RO cast must be very grateful right about now for dodging a bullet.

"small"
"inordinately vocal quadrant of the fan community"
"like-minded brethren online"
"a magnified vision of their numbers"
"this subset of the fan base"
"there's no real way to quantify how vast this portion of the "Star Wars" fan universe is"
"deluge of web-traffic-driven hot takes"
"a slightly delusional quality "
"the victory lap being taken in comment sections and online forums"
"a subsection of fans "
"the loudest and most belligerent voices"
"the force of a vocal contingent -- one that's perhaps a small minority"

The more Disney talks about it, the more we know it must hurt.

Again, don't be surprised to see KK give her resignation after the last Episode of Mary Sue Skywalker...

Yeah she’s definately out no way would any executive responsible for the FIRST STAR WARS MOVIE TO BOMB ever be allowed to stay on.

Lucas already knows.

This has got to hurt him.

That's both a and a lol



And Abrams' greatest weakness is always finales. The best parts of Super 8 and TFA were the beginnings when he was setting everything up. But with Episode IX there's no more setup, the whole freaking thing is going to be one big finale. Written by him and the JL guy.

Yeah getting Chris Terrio was an odd choice. I cannot believe they didn't put a truck of money in Kasdans driveway like Paramount kept doing with Bay. I would love to have dinner with Lucas right now and hear his opinion on what is going on. I didn't think Solo was ever going to be billion dollar film but to actually be considered a bomb is frightening. However, I do hope Disney takes this and decides that after Episode 9 they will do a SW film every two years. Still so much ground for cool stories. I would actually like a film between 4 and 5 about Luke leading the rebels to Hoth. Or other "story" like films that are not a necessity but help flag out the OT.

I still cannot believe I not only liked but loved Solo. I was the one who actually contemplated skipping it so I never had to watch a movie that might ruin a character I love so much. It exceeded my expectations, I smiled the entire movie and have seen it 3 times. Going for a 4th tomorrow dragging my brother who has sworn off SW. I hope he likes it because SW always meant so much to him.

We could not be living in stranger times right now, lol. How the hell did they make an awesome Han Solo movie without Harrison Ford. Not even "oh wow that's a decent alternate universe reboot I guess" no I literally take it as the canon backstory to Harrison Ford's OT character. I can't even fathom what the odds were for them pulling that off, lol.

Nest was a disappointment. Ginger freckle-faced adolescent girl running the marauders. Enough with the social justice.

Han speaking Wookie was ridiculous.

Landos robot romance was just weird and a toe in the water to start pursuing non conventional romance concepts.

Landos droid was a cringe-worthy sjw and I hated every moment of her.

The trooper costumes were great but you didn't see them enough.

Lando was played very very well.

The MacGyver moment of making the ship go into ludicrous speed was silly. Like really silly.

I would have liked Voss to be more evil. We saw him get angry a lot but not much more. He should have killed a lot of dudes...not just one.

Becket wasn't near as annoying as I thought he would be.

Chewie eating people was awesome. He's a starved Wookie known for pulling arms off.

Would have liked to see more Wookie rage.

Did anyone feel like a lot of the characters had gigantic masks that were too big for their bodies?

Lady Proxima was brutal.

The music number on Voss' ship was very cool.

I wasn't at all invested in Qi'ra. Didn't care what happened to her.

Han was played wonderfully. I saw a young Han Solo.

Love the Solo name origin.

There should have been more examples of the empire being ruthless.

Maul was just so bad. Star Wars has to learn to keep their characters dead. Just stop.

The ending was too much. You thought you were tricking me but I tricked you by giving you the real thing knowing that you would think I was tricking you. Urgh.

I do however like that Han shot first. That was a win.

Contrary to popular thought I enjoyed the Kessel run.

Lando taking off after Han saved his life without getting paid kind of made no sense. Like, he killed his droid and ruined his ship and just had to wait for the cash. He didn't even know the marauders were there.

Who? They already killed everyone off, Han dead, Luke Dead, Leia (Actor dead)... What next they gonna bring back Lando? Lobot? Wedge? This franchise died before it began since Disney acquired it. And say what you will about Jurassic Whirl, but today I was in Wal*Mart and a kid was Super Excited to see new Jurassic World toys than vs Star Wars... I smiled because the hype over Dinosaurs has outweighed the bad Space Operas. He even knew what day it was coming out as I overheard him talk to his parents. Sadly I saw his dad playing with knock off lightsabers trying to get his attention, but he ignored him and kept talking about JP.

The AGE of the Dinosaurs are back

dont forget Millenium Falcon was *** with that disgusting L3...ha!

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

I'm just gonna say it... if Disney was Smart they'd save face and reboot the ST under a new President and let real directors get a hold of it like Colin Trevorrow should have had to begin with..

And just for the record, I have no qualms with Star Wars movies being made... but HOW they are made. Continuity errors, poor writing and lack of vision over critics saying "BLAST", "IT'S A BLAST!" does not give me any hope of seeing the films under current management. And luckily I have pulled that off with all 4 films, no theater watch, just watched on payed Netflix. So in essence to my subscription I payed 0.0001 cents to see them.

And for those who think a reboot ST can't be done? Well it can, have Han and Leia in some funeral together and start off with Luke at the wake next to Chewie... Ford gets what he wants (To be dead), no worries on dead Carrie and Mark gets to swing his lightsaber again and not suck on a alien cow tat.

Reboot the damn thing in the literature.

If reboot, what about the previous cast of Sequels ? Fire them all ?

No need for spoiler tags anymore.

I don’t even think the movie is in theaters anymore lol

Good review some of your problems I agree with.

The sequel movies came twenty years too late. It was best left alone after all that time.

You just really cut it down to the core of the problem.

1999 should’ve been GL directing the OT cast Hamill and Ford looked great but I think Fisher still needed weight management back then.

Who knows maybe they would’ve turned out better than the PT because of the different dynamics.

Anakins fall and Clone Wars could’ve been flashbacks as told by the OT cast to their children.

What are you going to do what’s done is done.

It’s still hard for me to simply just discard the ST as you, Wor-Gar and Jaws have done what with the OT cast in them.

Luke, Leia and Han just mean too much for me to toss them into the garbage like that.

I respect your will powers I certainly lack it because I just can’t let go of them.

At the 1997 Special Edition Premiere.

The Princess was still hot in her 40's.
