Sorry, Ben attacked Luke because he was hearing voices and snapped? That's not how Luke and I remember it.

Ingmar terdman posted:Because of the racism or what It’s mainly a forced, clumsy catchphrase that makes absolutely no sense in context - but Rey and Leia randomly saying “wow, droids are great!” is also the ultimate dodge of the droid slavery issue. And it’s in the movie where C3PO gets shat on harder than ever.

Of course, they also say that when they came up with the idea there wasn't a specific place for it in the story, so they did just end up cramming it in there.

I only saw Force Awakened and Rogue One once each and never saw the rest. I keep debating if there is any reason at all to bother going through the whole set even out of curiosity. I already know the basic events and it would be just to see how they actually played out in the movies.

I'd say probably not. I enjoyed ep8 but I wouldn't consider it an essential part of the series, especially sandwiched as it is between 7 and 9. If you've seen Rogue One you're good to go, really

It bothers me that Rey looks so much different in 8 and then has to go back to her TFA look/fighting weight in 9 so the Carrie Fisher footage will match.

I still think that TLJ and ROS are both direct sequels to TFA and you can choose your own episode 8

Instead of having been "A Star Wars Story", a series of "A Death Star Plan Heist" movies. Would have been easy to make Solo also about stealing plans instead of whatever the gently caress it was.

You cant shove food or medicine into the falcon I guess e: reminds me that the girl they introduced in the final 20 minutes of the film now has to have a road trip with her estranged/possible(?) dad and the ex he just reconnected with. and the road trip is aboard the ex but apparently this theory has been debunked, although I could have sworn it was officially said to be a wink Ingmar terdman fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Oct 15, 2020 |

The stupidest part of Solo is when they say that the oilwell they need to steal from so they can make their space gasoline only exists beneath a totally unrelated drug mine. There's just this other, incredibly vital substance there, in a "fissue vent", that we have a small side operation on. Nope, can't get it anywhere else. I guess theoretically it might be a special type of coaxium, since they describe it as "astatic", but I just find it hilarious that after decades of setup as to what spice and Kessel are, Disney balked at having him just be running drugs on the literally famous Kessel [drug] Run.

We are still talking about Solo, right? No but really, what are you talking about here? Enfys Nest? That was the girl they introduced at the end of Solo, but they didn’t reference her dad at all, so I’m honestly trying to figure out what you’re talking about. Is there some theory you’re referring to here that I’m not familiar with? edit: Oh, unless you mean the girl at the end of TROS who is implied to be Lando’s kid. But, if you did, like, maybe you could have mentioned you were changing movie references? Since the topic was Solo? I dunno. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 04:45 on Oct 15, 2020 |

And so RIP star wars 8, killed effortlessly by JJ being a hack Just reading through the thread backlog from the beginning out of boredom and wanted to call attention to this very good accurate RoS prediction post from 2018. Reading all the RoS discussion stuff from a year before it was released is way funnier when you know how stupid it actually turned out to be.

Solo does a lot of work trying to get around the fact that A New Hope implies Han was a drug smuggler, because Disney Han Solo had to be a nice person all along. He's not smuggling drugs from the drug mine planet, it was just fuel they also have there too! He didn't even touch the drugs, honest!

I'll admit it; I was ready to buy that Star Wars: Fascinating Facts book based entirely on a clickbait story that revealed in Lucas's original sequel plans, he was also going to kill off Luke in Episode VIII. Like even if there were a few more nuggets of "what was Lucas going to do with the ST" it would have been worth $10 to me. Of all of the loving ways to not make money, this book is not available as an ebook. Hardcopy only.
