Saw Solo, liked it, not surprised it's not pulling in boatloads of money. Like Rogue One it appeals to the part of me that watches old movie marathons on TV for background noise, rather than the theater blockbuster. In this case, a certain style of westerns. Maul was way too heavy of a sequel hook though, they should've kept him cloaked. There was probably a contractual obligation to get a lightsaber into the movie.

So, L3's fate is horrible, right? The droid revolutionary is reduced to a mute tool, then her partner trades her away in a card game to an rear end in a top hat. It seems a little grim compared to the rest of the movie.

Then you've got the flirtatious banter between her and Lando and his unrequited love (possibly?) and his despair at her death and what even was the film going for?

Lando Calrissian became pals with Lobot and forgot that L3-37, the British hacker lady robot, became yesterday’s news. This will all be covered in the Lobot movie, y’see. Directed by a cream cheese danish.

Just watched the movie, and I read it as: Lando cares for L3 and occasionally repairs/tweaks her circuits when they're acting up. She sees it as much more than that and has convinced herself that Lando is madly in love with her and that the circuit tweaking is in fact his desperate attempt at physical closeness / ersatz sex. Her whole "girls talk" scene with Qi'ra smacks of self-delusion.

I would agree on the surface, but his reaction when she went down speaks to his feelings for her being a lot deeper than his "well I WOULD get her wiped but it's not worth the hassle of re-uploading the navmaps" attitude would suggest. Whether he realized that or not before she died is up to the viewer.

Help me out thread. I swear I've seen another movie or maybe read a book with a similar basic plot: "Young couple in shady circumstances gets separated, when they get back together years later, the girl has risen to a position of importance in said shady organization." Any ideas?

Fun movie. Darth Maul is loving stupid however, and I'm really trying to understand why this and TLJ (let's have Mark Hamill as the original loving space hero Luke Skywalker say, with a completely loving straight face, "Darth Sideous") feel the need to reference the prequels.

Better than Rogue One, not as good as Force Awakens or Last Jedi. Emilia Clarke was great for the opening scenes on Corellia and then was terrible.

I almost choked on my popcorn at that Teras Kasi reference. A video game site I follow played it a few months ago and it gets mentioned in relation to other fighting games every few weeks. I liked the movie but yeah, I fully believe that it will be the worst performing. It answers so many questions that no one had or cared about. No one cared about Han’s last name or the specific hand that he won the Falcon with. The marauder whose name I can’t remember has an insanely cool mask. That’s my takeaway from this movie. I loved what the clone wars and especially Rebels did with Maul, and it was neat to see him, but why did he have to pull the lightsaber out? Dumb.

I imagine the Maul cameo would've worked better had he remained shrouded like Sidious and you'd only recognize the voice, leaving new fans to speculate out the wazoo and those who kept up with the lore to raise our eyebrows and wonder how he got back into the underworld after Sidious cleaned house and crushed everything he owned Granted, I guess that's better than imagining Maul pulling a Luke and living on Malachor for ~15 years before the Rebels came calling

The prequels "happened". Like many embarrassing things from the past, we can move on, but not "too" much because things in the future are primarily because of things that happened in the past. I loathe the prequels, even having grew up with them. But I like the references. Canto Bright, despite being a non-starter of an arc, was cool because it was an aesthetic straight out the prequels in a OT focused story. And Maul doesn't bother me too much since he got good development and died a fleshed out and sympathetic character (and not just a goddamn action figure or insert for Jedi Academy PC mods). The prequels had a weird tone, so anything to make them seem more in-universe than they were at the time is a good thing. I just think it's goddamn ridiculous that Han had to deal with Maul's machinations. It shrinks an already tiny universe into an elevator sized bubble. Everyone is like 1 or 2 degrees removed from the Emperor, Anakin, or the Trio. And that's bleggghhh..... Space Edit 2 The Edit Strikes Back: I loved Teras Kasi as a kid with way too many games and not enough insight into what actually sucked and what was actually good. It also gave me Leia with a double bladed lightsaber waaay before Maul ran that poo poo directly into the ground. And Han's instant stun pistol whip. So there's that.

Mauls only recognizable features are he’s red, has horns and a double sided lightsaber. He’s got nothing else
