Gentlemen you are not thinking in the right direction... What star wars needs is a light-morningstar. Blackened steel orb and a handle, once activated a laser beam connects two parts and forms deadly spikes on the surface of the ball. This is a true masterpiece that will take star wars into 2020s and beyond!

Infinite lightsaber. The blade just goes forever. Rey stabs Palp Smear from another planet. Credits roll. Post-credit scene is just a montage of muppets on different planets getting skewered by the endless blade.

Big Beef City posted:No, but they could have a stuffy imperial officer talking to an admiral prior to the start of 'a scene' once or twice a film saying The Empire's resources during the OT never really bothered me since they were a galaxy-spanning empire with limitless resources. The First Order being able to build all this poo poo with no explanation whatsoever was maddening, since we have no idea if their defeats in the first two movies was that big a blow against them or not. $5 says that the Star Destroyers in the new trailer are just a waiting fleet for the Emperor, and don't impact the story in the slightest. JJ is a master at introducing impressive visuals that have no bearing on the story.

The Walmart probably had 10 Star Wars items in the toy section, and Toys R Us had like 5. Hell, even the prequels spawned entire aisles of Star Wars stuff that lasted the better part of a decade. Does the new trilogy even have a toy line that's currently in production?

The size of a lightsaber should be directly proportional to the amount of force a Jedi has. Some dork would have a tiny dagger and Yoda like a giant green donger

Then again I would rank Rogue One and Solo as the best Disney SW movies so far, so feel free to disregard.

Solo is crap top to bottom and Rogue One feels like it was murdered in the edit. TFA and TLJ are both bad movies in different ways, but both are far more competently made.

I didn't know if she was supposed to be a parody of wokeness played for laughs, or an example of genuine wokeness to be admired. Maybe the people who made the movie didn't know either. I want to say the character was supposed to be taken in earnest as a hero, but who knows anymore. Probably the strangest character in Disney Star Wars.

Yeah they made her a caricature of heroic revolutionaries who fought for labour laws and/or against slavery. And the robots are slaves in star wars universe, there's no defending that.

Solo is fatally misconceived. It’s no better than the lovely EU novels it paraphrases about young Han hanging out with a giant cat man, in some ways it’s even worse. Han Solo isn’t a super hero and doesn’t need an origin story. The whole point of his character is that he was never anyone special until he fell in with terrorists: just another dirty criminal hanging around in the fringes of the empire smuggling drugs and other criminals back and forth for a buck. It’s also a weak movie on its own. Script sucks, plotting is rubbish (Darth Maul? Seriously?) and Glover is the only actor who is even trying.

Idk unlike some of y'all I'm not intimately familiar with Hank Solo's intricate EU backstory. He's just some forgettable dude with a ride, just a name. At least the movie was exciting to watch for the most part unlike that loving 2 hour long space chase in Last Jedi.

L337 is kinda sorta inspired by another lovely old EU novel trilogy where Lando has a weirdo droid sidekick who insists on being treated as an equal and not a slave. The movie kind of even tells a deep cut joke about it by having Lando do a throwaway reference to his adventures with the Sharu. The idea of Lando’s droid having a crush on him is pretty original though tbh. It’s definitely weird enough to work, it’s not something Star Wars has already done to death. In the event it’s not that functional but that’s because the script is a dog.

If L3-37 and Lando were in a relationship, and L3-37 became part of the the ship, and Lando lost the ship to Han, then that means Had spent the next two decades riding Lando's girlfriend. Really makes u think...

"Solo" was the first Star Wars movie where I thought, "that's it, I'm drawing the line. This whole thing has turned to poo poo". But I kinda hoped I was wrong, you know? Then I heard about the scene where the imperial census taker goes "Hm, so you're a orphan with no family? I'll call you Han SOLO" and I had the horrible knowledge that I was right.
