The guy loving stabs a goddess just for getting in his way and has Athena's backing so he gets off scott free. Aphrodite deserved it though for siding with that ponce Paris.

khwarezm posted:Question for everyone in the thread, how will the following elements be inevitably worked into the movie: 1. At some point in the movie, Greedo will get the drop on Han, put him in cuffs, and drag him to Jabba to answer for some screwup. While being cuffed, Han will say something like "watch out Greedo, because next time I'm gonna shoot first  "2. The movie will start with the Kessel Run, showing us what exactly that is and answering the 40 year old question that's been on everyone's* mind 3. A terrible CGI Alec Guinness will Jedi mind trick someone on Tattooine *no one's

Did he steal Greedo's vest before or after he punched the giant space ferret?

The early reviews of Alien: Covenant don't seem very enthusiastic. I want to see if Mike and Jay do a weird review of it like they did with Prometheus, where they pointed out a dozen major things wrong with the movie yet still recommended it.

It always seemed that since it was a sci fi movie it would have naturally had Mike's interest by that alone regardless of the franchise. I don't know for sure if they'll do a bit like they did before, but I think he's probably going to critique the sciencey poo poo fairly indepth since Mike is really a big rear end nerd.

Baronjutter posted:I could see how someone might think blade runner was "boring" but me personally, I love it. I also unrionically love it for the vistas. Blade runner has some amazing vistas. Okay: to sum up how I feel about Blade Runner. I think it was a goddamn gorgeous movie, especially for its time. I loved the setting, and there are some awesome shots of the world as the story progresses. The problem for me mostly stemmed from not really caring about the story. To be fair, I think I watched it in 2005 and by that point the hype machine had put the drat film on a ridiculous pedestal. Was the movie bad? No, absolutely not. But when it was done I shrugged and moved on to greener pastures. I think if anything, I appreciate Blade Runner more for what kind of films/tv shows/books/etc it inspired than anything else.

I'm going today but a lot of people I know said the start is good and then half an hour in it gets mega boring. I tried rewatching Alien 3 last night and turned it off after 90 minutes, there's no way in hell that movie should have been 2 and a half hours long

No it'll be like he always just missed it. There'll be constant jedis fighting just at the back of frame and they'll force jump out of shot just as kid han turns around all "huh?" and misses it. Because you absolutely cannot have a star wars film without lightsabers. Or he'll have a mysterious mentor figure who's a secret jedi in hiding and always uses the force when Han is distracted or not looking. It's gonna be good it's gonna be great.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:OMG you're right. Obi Wan was literally the first Jedi he met but they're going to work in like 800 lightsaber duels because STAR WARS. Remember how dismissive Han was of the Force, calling it magic tricks and hocus pocus or whatever? That's because when Han was young he worked with a guy who said he was a Jedi put was actually just a con artist, and used holograms and slight of hand and poo poo to make people think he had Force powers. The con artist taught young Han all about the grift, at one point saying "these backwater rubes will believe anything you tell them. I once told them I made the Kessel Run in under 15 parsecs, and they believed me!" "What's the Kessel Run?" "I just made it up! How would they know any better?" At the end they get separated and it turns out the conman actually was Force sensitive all along and didn't even know it, and he'll do something heroic with his Force abilities, but Han will never know.

that was one of the worst bits of the prequels "lore" wise. there were like a bagillion jedi and they fought in a massive galaxy spanning conflict often as generals and yet han thinks it's a hokey religion and an imperial officer scoffs about vader's ancient religion right to his face. lucas hosed up the jedi massively.

Just keep the first paragraph and make it a David Mamet film. Cast Ricky Jay as the grifter "Jedi", I'd buy a ticket right drat now.

Looking for quick cash, Han and Lando get a job as wheelmen for Boba Fett's merc group who are hunting down a group of wookie dissidents. They fall in with the wookie Chewbacca who joins them as they go on the lam. Lando gets a job mining cloud stuff with his uncle in Cloud City: Han: But who's gonna be my co-pilot? Lando: Looks like you just found one Chewie: *barking and howling* Han: Oh boy... Captain Lavender fucked around with this message at 20:14 on May 14, 2017 |

i thought han saved chewbacca from slavery or something and that's why chewbacca follows him around. i guess this is all just eu stuff so the new backstory could be anything.

the han solo story will open up with han trying to get chewbacca home to KASHYYYK in the MILLENNIUM FALCON in time for LIFE DAY and from there it will be a series of flashbacks complete with song and dance numbers set to jizz music.

I had hopes for it at first, with the Lego movie duo announced to direct and them saying it was not an Origin movie, just a Han solo adventure. Then a year passes and we find out that it will In fact be an origin movie centered around how he got his loving name.

Let's see what the wookiepedia says http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wuher/Legends quote:Before these events, Wuher had been working below the cantina on Jabba's perfect drink. Wuher knew he had almost perfected the beverage, but it was slightly lacking. Relying on his exceptional sense of smell, he realized the pheromones Greedo exuded were the final flavor the drink required. Employing his newly found droid C2-R4, he obtained Greedo's corpse and had C2-R4 brew Greedo into the liqueur. Upon tasting, Wuher believed he had finally created Jabba's perfect drink and at the same time, discovered a new-found sense of appreciation for droids. the EU deserved its fate

Plus there's the context of the scene, where Luke knows that Leia is his sister and Vader is their father, so Luke wants to learn about their mother. Then in Sith Lucas goes lol woops the queen died of a broken heart. It's such awful writing.
