Idea:

Solo is a diegetic holo-biopic by alien director Ronhow Werd.

Rey saw a bootleg and that’s why she thinks the kessel run is real.

The diagetic empire theme playing in that registration center on Corelia makes more sense if the whole thing is an unreliable narrator trying to remember how the story went.

We left after Captain America, missed all of Avengers and Iron Man 3, and returned during Thor: The Dark World

It’s the same costume, probably used again to save money on an alien during the reshoots.

Well, given their plan to start a rebellion I thought it could be the same dude, and even that he might have a name or feature in Rebels, which I have not seen.

The Guncannon looks like the Ideon though, and the Ideon might as well be a Death Star.

Couple of observations/questions about the movie.

Dryden Vos, any relation to Quinlan Vos?

The one alien guy with the breathing tubes in Enfys Nest, is that the same dude in (I presume later) Saw Gerrera's gang who brings Bodhi in in Rogue One?

Confirmed no on Vos/Vos. I forget who confirmed it but they are borrowing an idea from the larger canon that some family names are just common.

Yes on Benthic (the tubes guy) and Warrick Davis plays his previous character from TPM. I totally missed Benthic in the fim.

I think Jon Kasdan knows the SW universe better than Lucas.

Do you know what "thematically" means? Something being thematically like something else doesn't transmute it into literally being that thing

It's not literally that thing anyway because it literally doesn't exist and never did. Makes you think.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:

In the film they put it up beside a picture of a death star and say that the reason it's not classified as a death star is because it's substantially larger. So it's a strange situation where a truck is so large that it no longer counts as a truck. But they don't explain what the truck is now.

So it's just not-a-truck, the thing that's like a truck but not.

Of course what they really mean is that it's not just another death star. Emphasis on 'another'. This is a big death star, theoretically more difficult to destroy.

For instance, not a truck.

Today I learned that George Lucas considered including a 10-year old Han Solo in the Kashyyyk scenes in ROTS with Chewie helping Yoda to escape Order 66.

The older I get, the more I like Lucas for how much he was determined to annoy 16 year old me. 16 year old me was the worst. Probably still would be if he was around.

Critics who still had baby teeth when the prequels came out really want to hate on a Star Wars and they picked this one as the sacrificial lamb. It's not a bad movie. You can dislike it because it's not for you, because there's no death star base killers, but it's not bad. Like they don't even attempt to introduce the next ultimate big bad invention, they just spend a little time explaining how hyperspace fuel gets made.
