This thread is hot and cold: sometimes you get SMG, the Michael Jordan of posting, and sometimes you get weird digressions about how Rose is a fat cosplayer despite not being fat or a cosplayer (though I guess you could call dressing up as a First Order officer cosplaying, but if you do that Luke, Han, and Leia are all guilty) or pulling a paper bag test on Oscar Isaac. Conversations about how hot Holdo is are in the middle because I'd be lying if I said Laura Dern wasn't dreamy.

Whatever.
Picked up the Art of Last Jedi book, was quite interesting how much work they put in before TFA even finished filming. Also fairly obvious what some of the deleted scenes will be on the DVD/BR, since it shows art for several scenes which they comment on as if they're in the film.

Was also surprising how Lucas participated in some of the initial Jedi temple design work for Luke's seclusion. I guess that was part of his script outline process he did. From what I gather, it sounds like he also had Luke going into hiding after his students were wiped out. JJ and Rian just expanded on who actually did it and why.

Also Neal Scanlan needs to get off his Abednedo kick. Seriously, I was wondering why they keep showing up and there's a quote in there and the man seems obsessed with them. His creature direction is actually one of the unfortunate "I want new stuff... where's the old stuff?" problems I have with the new trilogy. Practically 99.9% of the aliens are new, which should help address complaints of "all the ST designs are just OT retreds!", but we're left with a galaxy full of practically nothing but new aliens as a result.

Come one, come all! Come see the exciting movie about the guy who heroically learns to be a better person, then forgets it all and gets ganked by his kid and tossed in a pit, more or less sad, broken and alone.

Excitement!

It's just going to be an hour and a half of the Falcon flying straight ahead towards Kessel, and every time we cut back to it we'll get a samey looking establishing shot of something bouncing off the shields dramatically.

The fact that Finn is a former stormtrooper should play a WAAAAAY bigger part of the story. But it doesnt. In Episode 7, he just defects pretty much immediately and is immediately a plucky goofy goodguy. He should be struggling more with his "programming", trying to adapt and adjust to a new environment without being a peon in the First Order's war machine. But none of that happens. Instead, he gets along swimmingly with the Resistance right away. There should be more tension, more conflict, more friction, whatever you want to call it.

Anyway, yeah, these movies need way more sex. People made fun of Lucas for the clumsy romantic dialogue in the Prequels but at least Lucas understood that you needed some kind of romance and sexuality. In the OT, Han wanted to get with Princess Leia right away. Even Luke thought she was beautiful when he first saw her, and in Empire Strikes Back he smugly crosses his arms behind his head when she kisses him in front of Han. Leia too has conflicting feelings about Han. He's a scoundrel, he's misogynist, but oh god he's so loving hot. The Prequels had these elements too.

People have said the Rey is asexual because she has more "universal love". Okay, thats fine. But come on, what about everyone else? They had Rose kiss Finn and seemed to show that she was falling for him, but it came too suddenly. It didn't feel real or developed. They didnt even know each other for that long and already she "loves" him? Yeah they went through some poo poo, but it needs time to develop. And you'd think Poe would be a bit of a lady's man or whatever but he doesn't seem attracted to anyone either.

I'm not saying all movies have to have romance or sex but i've always thought Star Wars should have this element of humanity in its stories. A big theme is humanity and individuality versus the Machine and the System. Thats how I've seen it anyway.

There's loads of sexual tension in the new movies, it's just exclusively between Rey and Kylo. These movies are decidedly unromantic, but they're sexy.

It's not THAT out there. Infinity War got its first trailer a month ago and it comes out a few weeks before Solo.

If Solo doesn't have a trailer out by the end of the month (to get attached to Black Panther next month), it's probably getting pushed back.
