Like, why did they decide that his name was given to him by the empire? Why isnât it just his name? Why did they show us how he got his blaster? Like, why couldnât he have just had that blaster? Just loads of pointless stuff. It was quite fun when it didnât feel like fanfic, like the bit in the trenches was a nice change from the usual star warring, in that it actually felt like war (like bits of rogue 1). The whole double-double-double crossing at the end got a bit daft, and wtf was darth maul doing in the film? Weird. The sassy droid was daft as well, Han speaking wookiee was daft. Just a really daft film, as expected really. I didnât not enjoy it, itâs better than the prequels, but itâs the worst otherwise.
Empire > new hope > rouge > return > last jedi > force awakens > solo > clones > sith > some other film that doesnât exist where thereâs a 6 hr long podrace and darth vader says woohoo!
Rogue One; has a scene where the characters have to pull the name âRogueâ out of their arse unexpectedly to avoid detection as they try to run away.
Solo: has a scene where a guy has to pull the name âSoloâ out of his arse unexpectedly because Han is trying to avoid detection as he runs away.
Iâd like to pitch to Disney how they can continue the trend on in to the Boba Fett film. Dig if you will the picture; little manâs just been birthed out of a pod by them Area 51 giraffes, theyâre hassling old Jango to come up with a name for him, but heâs got shook because heâs looked out the window and seen thereâs a warden sniffing around in the car park, and his ticket on the Slave 1 is going to run out any minute. Jango see the wee man bob his head a bit and heâs like âHe name is⌠errâŚâ [look directly into camera] âBobaâ. Then he scoops up the baby and hoofs it out of the hospital, zooms off in the Slave 1. Title card comes up - âFett: A Star Wars Storyâ. Rest of the film is an origin about how the other clone kids laugh at him for bobbing his head around, but then in the end his dad get him head cut off so he inherits his big metal helmet and nuts them all. Becomes most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy. Fin.
Watched it tonight. Liked Paul Bettanyâs 80s yuppie wine-bar spaceship. Much better than the casino-nights planet out of TLJ. Does seem to be a lot of drinking/bars featured. Probably just to emphasise than Han Solo spends a lot of time down the pub.
Also not sure what was going on with Chewbaccaâs mate on the mine planet. Looked like theyâd decided to save money buy using a tatty old monkey costume rather than making another wookie.
Chewieâs pal on Kessel has been working as a slave for however long - he perhaps didnât have time to have a shower, add a touch of Brylcreem, eat back to his regular weight and dust off his best bandolier?
i watched sith once on a coach from the south of france to the north of wales and have had no desire to watch it again since. theyre both pretty close in terms of how bad they are tho, dont get me wrong
I hate seeing that dickhead sect of gatekeeper shithouse incel Star Wars watchers always banding the term âthe fansâ about all the time. Like âit wasnât for the fansâ and âDisney needs to respect the fansâ and so on. Theyâre not fans at all, theyâre whiny children in adult bodies that need to grow the fuck up.
Yeah to be honest the more some twats on the internet insist Star Wars belongs to them, the more I want the films to be made specifically to piss them off. A lot of them are putting the fact that they donât like a couple of the recent ones down to the fact that there is now a woman in charge (Kathleen Kennedy). Not the fact that they saw the original films as ten year olds, and they are now 40 and wanting them to still appeal to them specifically. Go fuck yourselves, all of you.
Saw this today, like most people here I thought it was fine. Itâs certainly very coherent for a film with a âtroubledâ shoot, not like the complete car crash of something like Suicide Squad which is almost unwatchable in comparison. It also got better and more fun as it went on and they stopped dropping in the references so much. I mean I might not have minded if Bossk had turned up, though.
I thought that Alden Ehrenreich was okay, if there were problems with this film then he was not it, although he seems to be doing more of a Dennis Quaid than a Harrison Ford. I was surprised that it didnât go to Miles Teller, as soon as they announced they were making a film about young Han Solo I thought clearly itâs Miles Teller, as they were casting it around the time Whiplash came out. I did like that the Han Solo of this film is not the Han Solo of Star Wars (yet), not even at the end of the film.
Surprised that no-one has really mentioned so far how many people die in this film, that was quite a big surprise. I was also surprised that Lando is barely in it. Agree that it didnât need so many crammed unnecessary references, although they did surprisingly hold a few things back, presumably for a sequel that probably now wonât happen.
For me, the fact that he âmade the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecsâ was always just chancer bullshit, it didnât mean anything and it didnât need an entire film made about it. I actually liked the fact that he says it like he doesnât know itâs a unit of distance and it doesnât need the whole backstory. Also, a parsec is an absolutely insane distance, you canât cover it in ten minutes even if you can travel at lightspeed.
Overall: Fine.
And he fucks that robot right? He definitely fucks that robot.
Fuck humanity.
