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

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

Don't discard them. They're still entertaining movies to watch even if you don't take them as canon. And you never know, I've kept the PT on blu-ray all these years "just in case" and now low and behold TPM is canon again, lol.

Seriously what the hell, why George why. Now I'm imagining an alternate universe where we got the George Lucas ST with younger main OT stars and then somehow RO and Solo still get made years later anyway and we have a perfect 8 movie Saga, lol.

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.

Exactly. Look at Ford in Air Force One back in 97 - could have passed for only a 10 years older Han Solo. Carrie looked fine in Austin Powers from the same year I think. Hamill, likewise, still looked like Luke Skywalker when he was doing talk shows when the Special Editions came out - at least I think that's what I was watching on youtube, stuff from that era.

The prequels could have been made any time, they were going to have new actors no matter what.

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.

Same as I toss out anything after T2, Robocop, Alien 3, Die Hard 3 etc etc. Doesn't matter if the actors come back when the films suck/stories are awful/go too far from the original concept and tone etc

The "what could have been" that all SW fans will take to the grave. Forget the SE's - it's 1995 and the ST is underway with a 40 year old Luke and mid-late 30's Leia.

Instead, in the real 1995, HF is making "Sabrina."

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

Empty Nest was most definitely a dud. Like this girl is on the train blasting and besting soldiers making Jason Bourne look like a freshman and even Hit-Girl look like a SDCC cosplayer - just silly social justice fantasy stuff.

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.

Yeah, it's like the whole audience and the characters on screen all looked at each other and said - "what just happened there?"

And as Jye says - this movie is already a sun-faded VHS box sitting on a back shelf in the last video store on earth - no need for spoiler tags.

I know people looked at me as if I had 3 heads when I was defending TLJ tooth and nail.

So called alpha males can call me soy boy 24/7 I could care less I will defend Luke, Han and Leia to my grave.

If I tolerated the god awful PT for 7 years without those characters in them I will tolerate the ST WITH those characters in them.

Yes TLJ has the slowest chase scene in history with poor military tactics, yes the casino sucked and yes ending the movie on slave kid that looked like a freaking professional model was lame as **** BUT I don’t care it still has my favorite characters in them acting their asses off.

All due respect and as a huge fan of those same franchises I can unequivocally say there is OT SW then there is everything else lol

Yep, all 100% true. The main thing that brings me true happiness with how long before the OT cast returned is that it has allowed me to enjoy them with my kids who got to see new Han, Luke, and Leia movies at the same age that I was when the actual OT came out.

I know that TLJ was divisive and will be hated and mocked by however many people for however long but watching my childhood hero Luke and Yoda talking about the new generation growing beyond them as I sat with my own son and daughter was one of the greatest cinematic experiences I've ever had. So for me I'll always be grateful to the ST (yes including TLJ) canon or not.

Lucasfilm has a interesting conception of what the new generation would be into. They obviously think most teen boys are a bunch of cucks.

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

At the 1997 Special Edition Premiere.

The Princess was still hot in her 40's.

They all still looked so happy 20 years ago...

Only that woman in the background with the dark glasses knew what was going to happen. She's one of those time-travelling tourists from the future who come to watch big disasters as they happen.

What's funny is that immediately after watching TLJ my daughter requested three Funko Bobbleheads:

1. Supreme Leader Snoke,
2. Kylo Ren
3. Chewie holding a Porg

Rey didn't even make her top 3 so for my daughter at least simply having the lead be female wasn't enough to fully win her over.

She grabs George's face right after the pic is taken and says "You didn't think it was going to be that easy did you..." <--- reference that literally only a-dev might get

Can we have one damn day without the "cuck", "SJW", and "Feminazi" etc... jargon and ranting? I'm so ****ing sick of it.

No, no different, only different in your mind!

Well, I wouldn't try to devalue that for you.

If you’re going to debate with me all I ask is that you study up on some history first because knowing history creates a strong foundation for your argument.

Lets place blame where it really belongs shall we.

GL first and foremost then the fans (including me), NOT Kennedy, Abrams, Rian and Disney.

GL for making horrible PT movies.

The fans telling him he raped their childhoods with those horrible PT movies causing GL to hate SW fans and want to dump it all.

Then GL again for PERSONALLY PICKING the person you hate with a passion!

Go blame him if you hate her so much.

I don’t take anyone seriously who doesn’t first place blame where it really belongs before they rush into flexing their alpha male muscles and immediately blame feminism, soy boys and cucks.

Is that a 12 Monkeys ref?

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

lo and behold TPM is canon again, lol.

So lemme get this straight: TPM is canon again because Solo has Maul in it and the Kessel Run reminded you of the Naboo planet core? It was that simple?

So what about RO showing Mustafar and Bail Organa, and Luke recapping the PT in TLJ?

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

I didn't see that. Given the context I'm pretty sure it's a Terminator Genisys reference
