I was gonna try to grab some of the few good screenshots, but there really isn't a lot going on here visually. Most of it is bog-standard, but some of it is just downright ugly. It's like they watched Rogue One and the only lesson they took was "grey" + "smoke" = "off-road Star Wars" Ah, well, at least we still have Valerian, the legitimately good Han Solo movie.

New Han looks nothing like old Han and has none of the charisma and the dumbass actor has the nerve to whine to the studio about Lord and Miller

I dunno, Solo looks fun. There isn’t enough of Ehrenreich in the trailer to get a sense of his performance, so we’ll just have to wait and see. I’m sold enough to see it in theaters though.

Even though I thought it was unnecessary I'm on board with the general idea of a Solo movie, but oof Ehrenreich does not seem like he's able to sell it. Those two jokes read like someone desperately trying to come across as Han but failing.

that trailer is such a big pile of nothing i don't really have any more positive or negative feelings about seeing the final film than i did before i saw it like, there are a couple neat looking ships and character designs in there but there's nothing really intriguing about the movie (except the behind the scenes poo poo) if i don't subscribe to the idea that han solo's simple backstory needed a generic heist film to flesh it out

This is just me being arbitrary and judgemental, but I'd be more excited about this film if it wasn't a prequel story for an established character. I don't care about "how Han met Chewie" or "how Han got the Millenium Falcon" or whatever. These are not meaningful questions posed by the source material. Direct nods to future events are bound to feel forced. If this was just, a heist movie set in the Galactic Empire with new characters like Lampp Desco and Klnx Tisho, it'd have more of a chance of being a decent film than fan service bait. I think I'm going to have this feeling a lot about Star Wars. Disney bought a franchise propelled by merchandise sales and a devoted base of people who buy bad sci fi books just because they have the Star Wars logo on the covers. Of course they're going to lean into it.

I think Frozen 2 was originally Winter 2018 and that's why they moved Solo to Summer. Also Bob Iger has been wanting to get Star Wars movies back to that slot for some time now.

I did some general browsing and didn’t see this, but is there any info as to how long before A New Hope this is supposed to be/ how young Han is supposed to be? Because Ford was in his early 30’s around the time of shooting that first flick, and Alden Ehrenreich is 29, but seems to be playing considerably younger, like maybe 18-19? That’s the only way my brain can make sense of this dude not quite pulling his impression off. Because if this is supposed to take place like, five years before ANH or something... that’s gonna be a problem.

K. Waste posted:Of course not, Valerian is way better than GotG. I've only seen half of Valerian so far, and while it rules, Valerian's been too successful to be a young Han Solo. So far it's more like "Ferris Bueller's Day On [Duty as a Space Cop]". I reserve the right to adjust my opinion having seen the whole thing though.

Definitive Chewbacca Hair Ranking. I will let the thread decide whether this is in ascending or descending order -Star Wars/Empire. The true benchmark. Empire is probably a bit better because they probably had more money. Nice -Force Awakens/Last Jedi. People complain a lot about these but I think they are okay, and the body hair has the right scraggliness -Return of the Jedi. He apparently had a brief experimental phase with bangs. This look never shows up again -Revenge of the Sith. Kinda weird and gold-colored. Too shiny, but I guess everything in the prequels was shiny. The style that won Yoda's heart -Shadows of the Empire: poo poo yeah

I love the art in the old Marvel Star Wars comics. “I don’t give a poo poo if it is the biggest movie of the last ten years, Jerry, I’m gonna give him a fuckin’ rabbit snout. Yeah, I’m drunk. So what?”

My absolute favourite is the cover of the second issue, which portrays the Mos Eisley cantina scene from ANH:  By the last issue, Luke was basically Rambo. He had a mullet, his shirt was always open to the waist, he had huge arms and he carried a giant gun.

I feel like this teaser is trying to suggest to me that it's in a different genre than the last nine Star Wars, and I like that suggestion. The music is probably trailer-placeholder rather than the final score, but I hope it's indicative.

Solo trailer does not inspire confidence in me. i was pretty bored right up until the very end with the tentacled space monster. i'm a sucker for giant monsters. owned in esb and tpm, so i'm down for some more star wars giant monster action. shame about the rest of it, which doesn't look interesting

I guess I shouldn’t pretend to be either but watching him as a young Harrison in that clip he seems to be just trying to hit all the marks that say “I’m supposed to be Harrison Ford” and not really giving it anything else that makes it come alive.

UmOk posted:Are the old Star Wars comics weird enough to read? The covers are all wacky as hell. Some of it is entertaining enough. It's interesting to see what some writers thought the rest of the universe might be like when there was only one movie out. The really infamous thing (because I'm pretty sure Lucas himself went out of his way at one point to say it was non-canon) was Jaxxon, a big green rabbit alien. He appeared in a story as part of a team assembled by Han Solo to protect a village from bandits. It was a Magnificent Seven pastiche. One of the other characters was a deranged old man who had read too many stories about the Jedi knights and decided he wanted to be one despite being hopelessly incompetent and not having the Force. His name? Don-Wan Kihotay. Some great covers, though:
