The direct lifts of music from A New Hope and the great sense of import given to Chewie getting into the copilot chair are not filling me with high hopes for this movie.

Using that music is cheating!

it's too bad Johnson isn't doing IX because the falcon really just needs to be driven into a wall

e: maybe at the end of IX they will turn the falcon into an historic landmark/museum to tie it in with being able to go onboard at disney land

The Millenium Falcon should appear in every Star Wars movie. I hope it's in Episode 20 and it's being held together with scotch tape and zip ties and Rey's great great granddaughter is piloting it with Lobot.

Why is there a distinct lack of spoilers or more information going into Solo? You'd think there'd be some intentional leaks of impactful things to generate interest at this point.

a) no one cares
b) we can probably all predict the beats and call-forwards in our sleep without having seen it, so any leaks will sound identical to the speculation

Ah-ha, I've figured out how to improve Attack of the Clones

Remove the entire "Anakin and Padme go to Naboo" segment and replace it with Obi-Wan tracking down a lead on Jango Fett that leads him to the Casinos on Cato Neimoidia for half an hour, and from there, to Kamino

Probably. Noir Jedi is a concept that should be explored at great length, like a 4 season animated series.

But what you can do with AotC as it exists is simple, cut the "frolicking" scene. The CGI waterfalls look terrible and it adds nothing to the characters. It kills the pacing of the movie. Cut it out and the movie flows from start to finish.

I have tried to rewatch the new movies which I thought were ok at the cinema but turned them all off after 20 minutes and I also can't watch the old star wars. I think they killed it for me. I just don't like it and I'm not sure what snapped because I loved star wars 12 months ago

You won't see it on Netflix, because Disney terminated its streaming deal with them and everything except the Marvel Netflix shows is going to the Disney streaming service that starts in a year! :eng101:

Didn't the Falcon show up in ROTS?

Would that make Solo the first big retcon given the appearance of it?

A YT-1300 is seen flying into a hangar in ROTS, and another one is two more are standing around on an airfield in AOTC, but I don't think any official sources said that either one was canonically supposed to be the Falcon.

I don't believe so, I mean, there's three in the film kinda making it seem just like a common vehicle but it if the SoloTM Falcon is what YT-whatever ships are supposed to look like off of the production line and none of them look like that in ROTS then it's definitely a retcon.
