I finally watched solo at the 2.50$ theater. I'm probably never gonna watch it again but it was fun enough. Definitely the worst of the new films though

It's a shame that Star Wars is in the league where anything less than a 9 figure return is a failure because it means you can't have a small, self-contained story with unknown characters being greenlit.

Today's news: Star Wars tv series will cost $100 million for 10 episodes and may be set on Mandalore three years after ROTJ. I predict that this will probably be more of an Inhumans than a Game of Thrones, though. There's also been a rumour that Episode IX will either be the longest Star Wars movie ever (TLJ is currently the longest at two and a half hours) orrrrrrr... split into two movies!

Five years ago it could've gotten "Episode IX - Part 1/2" but that whole craze is done. Remember when Justice League was going to be two parts or when the third and fourth Avengers movies were going to be "Infinity War - Parts 1 & 2"?

This was before Infinity War actually came out and we found out that's not loving true at all. The rumored title, but in no way confirmed, is Avengers: Endgame.

It was done in an attempt to fool you into thinking it was a whole movie, and not just another half our move with a two hour trailer for the next movie.

Haha, did someone honestly call it that? quote:I tend to be a ST optimist, but if they go Force-skype-baby with it as the rumours suggest, I may just not even bother. That would be a bit rubbish. Fingers crossed that they revisit the early Episode 8 rumour that Rey was going to ask Luke, "Are you my father?" and he was going to say, "No, you're my father!" and explain how she was the reincarnation of Anakin Skywalker.

Only satisfying ending is for Rey and Kylo to conceive a new Chosen One the same way Palpatine and Plagueis did, performing a Force Ritual holding each others' shoulders and then headbutting one another screaming "FORCE! FORCE! FORCE! BOOYAH!"

Like the natural reaction to an announcement that they're bringing back an old beloved character now seems to be "oh noooo  "And that's hilarious.

Lando should just have one scene wherein the resistance asks for his help to which he’s like “Haha nah, I’m good.” and then he flies off in the falcon to have cyber sex with his old droid’s brain.

I was most amused to learn that there was a popular rumour in 1997-1999 that Samuel L. Jackson's character in TPM was going to be Lando's grandfather and he was going to be called "Grando".

Question Friend posted:They really went all the way making PHasma an authentic Boba fett by having her be owned and never do anything Wearing a cool costume that looks good on an action figure on your office desk is the most important thing you can do! I'm not shocked at the rumors of splitting the story into two films and sorta predicted it with the lack of focus on the Roman numbering this go round. There's not a lot there after TLJ basically undid all the events of the previous movie. JJ probably needs 3 more hours to build a story back up and properly pay it off. I'm fine with it, but I feel like with better planning they shouldn't have to. Rewatched Rogue One again after liking it the first couple times and woof! Aside from the space battle and high stakes there's like nothing there at all. The most vanilla of vanilla ice creams.

CelticPredator posted:He only undid two pointless things idiots latched onto lmao Things undone: Rey was implied to have some kind of Backstory. Like, half her scenes in The Force Awakens were using pretty basic cinematic language to say "Hey, pay attention. This is going to be Important". Snoke was set up to be a major player. Finn and Rey were set up as the main couple, with Finn having gone through a character arc from coward to hero. Kylo had his worship of Darth Vader as a central motivation. Phasma was apparently killed due to being in the middle planetary explosion. The Resistance had dealt a serious blow to the First Order. Finn had taken serious injuries. Kylo's scar. Huh. That... seems to be more than two things.

Billy Snoke was one major player at the start of TLJ and by the end he was TWO major players.
