So is the Qi'ra/Solo thing a hook for part 2, Boba Fett the movie or Obi-wan the movie? Seems like it could fit into any of those.

I ended up enjoying it a lot. It was an amusing way to spend a couple of hours. It's almost a shame it'll probably flop.

I think my favorite detail about this is how yeah, he does make the kessel run fast enough to get them to their destination alive, but even right after the fact Chewie scoffs at him for lying about how fast they did it and he's not even saying he did it in under 12 parsecs (he admits to Chewie that it was done in 12 if you round down a bit) like he does in A New Hope and on top of that they only did it because they put LadyTron's brain into the Falcon's computer. So they managed to have him both make the kessel run in an exceptional way while still being completely full of poo poo when he's telling Luke and Obi-Wan about it.

20 years from now, we’ll all be digitized into the Disney HoloNet and we will live out all our spookiest and skerriest Star Wars fantasies, like getting shitfaced with Sebulba and getting badmouthed by Captain Needa. And taking a spin class with Boss Nass.

Mezzanine posted:Vibro-(knives, axes, etc) have been a thing for a long time in SW lore, just not on film. I assumed that's what they were. Like, a step down from lightsabers but better than plain old sharp-bladed stuff because it can cut through metal or armor or whatever. cortosis weave can block lightsabers. why does no one use this? unknown.

The thing that just donned on me, with the announcement of the Fett movie and what the Solo movie is, is that these lovely origin stories get greenlit so quickly is like - the movie is already half-written. Like in the case of Solo: -How did he get the Falcon -How did he meet Chewie -How did he get his name -How did he get his iconic blaster -How did he meet Lando Like that's already a handful of plot beats to thread, half the work is done for you already. The same poo poo is going to happen with Solo and it's going to be loving embarrassing.

Guaranteed a Lando movie would be centered around explaining the manuever he did at the battle of Tanaab.

My coworker was bitching about how this movie throws away Canon, but Emilia says her hand to hand combat is Teras Kasi and the card game they play is Pazaak. So basically video games trump other EU. That poo poo was hilarious to me because the movie gave a middle finger to EU lore fans while telling them "oh, we know. We're well aware of very subtle poo poo. We'll include obscure poo poo when convenient but gently caress your real complaints."

thrawn527 posted:I think this is just going to end up being a one and done cameo, leaving most viewers really confused and put off. Such an odd decision. I liked it a lot. Covered pretty much everything I wanted but was surprised it was the first movie with no 3PO or R2. Seems like the only common thread connecting all Star Wars movies is a lightsaber. Lost my poo poo at the reference to Teras Kasi Hazo fucked around with this message at 03:52 on May 26, 2018 |

galagazombie posted:It's also part of the whole problem with these endless origin movies where literally everything Character X related from the original happened over this one weekend. Did we need to know the exiting origin of the Falcons GPS? It also leads to a problem I have that I don't really have a word or phrase to describe, but essentially it's "everything is important". the Falcon can't just have a wonky computer like everything else on the ship is wonky, It has to be the end result of some character arc and have "significance". Han can't just be calling the Falcon "baby" like people call their cars, no it's because now the ship is literally a girl robot. It makes the movie feel, I don't know, unreal?, ungrounded?, inhuman? Every line of dialogue from the original is taken so incredibly literally it's like the writers don't understand english.

This was a fan film, right down to the most nerdy obscure references to the series. I’m so glad they referenced the lovely ps1 game and the sea monsters from the phantom menace instead of giving Thandie Newton more to do.

Every Star Wars film since The Clone Wars (2008) has been a fan film. TFA and TLJ were both directed by well known fans of the series at least. Ron Howard could loving hate Star Wars for all I know.

Robot Style posted:Guaranteed a Lando movie would be centered around explaining the manuever he did at the battle of Tanaab. It's a two and a half hour clothing commercial focusing primarily on half-capes and a tour through Lando's latest pad, and at the end of the film, the Empire comes in and busts up the place, so Lando is forced to flee to some Tibanna mining platform

saw Solo. It was...fine? I'll probably need to watch it again/let things sink in. Darth Maul was the stupidest cameo ever, I knew he was around in some of the TV stuff but what is the point of bringing him back in the movies? He was lame as hell, has like 6 words of dialogue, and got cut in half. Note: not defending Episode I, just saying that for this movie, which already had a lot of fanservice, it was still pretty stupid, they could have used some rando and the scene's impact wouldn't have changed. Thought DongLover was great as Lando, I was expecting a lot worse from the actor who played Han so I was pleasantly surprised there, and Emilia Clarke was about what I expected: .

Do you think Leet screams internally every time a laser blast hits the falcon? Was she trying to get back to Lando when she recommend going to Cloud City?

Real talk, the problem is the scene gets ruined when Maul has to grab a lightsaber, turn it on and pose with it. I was expecting the dude to do a flip at the end of the projection just to make sure we all know who it was.

Yeah, i mean the appearence in the first place was self-indulgent and dumb but that just made it even worse. The last 30 minutes of the movie were very.. bad and self-indulgent in the first place. The character beats made no sense and it feels like someone wanted to alter some things for another movie.
