Mandalorian excellent. Rogue One good. Everything else Disney Star Wars varying flavours of pointless, mediocre or shite. Some rumours I read about Disney forcing reshoots of the second season of Mandalorian have me concerned.

Some rumours I read about Disney forcing reshoots of the second season of Mandalorian have me concerned. Never trust the rumor mill. Less than 48 hours before an air date for the season was announced there was a "rumor" that the whole thing was being delayed for reshoots after someone somewhere was dissatisfied with the season 1) the rumor mill doesn't know poo poo 2) reshoots are normal and happen on most productions of all sizes.

OK if the rumours came out before the air date was announced then that pours some water on them, although it's not like Disney have a good track record for not meddling

All Disney Star Wars good (ranging from "excellent" to "fun but pointless") except TROS. Can we all at least agree that TROS is a flaming pile of poo poo

There was no way TROS could have been good, or at least satisfying to everyone. It was doomed from the beginning unless they like, split it into two movies or something. I will say this about TLJ: It introduced the updated A-Wing which is my favorite ship, and the hella cute pilot who flew it  Then, y'know... immediately blew them up

TLJ is the most times I’ve been disappointed during the initial viewing of a film. I basically just shrugged at every choice the film made and loudly booed everything they walked back.

It didn’t say that Rey was a Skywalker and Poe was an awesome Wedge Antilles 2.0 therefore it didn’t fulfill JJ’s vision.

We get it, you're better at watching films than us plebs who can't appreciate Rian Johnson's genius creation. Can we move on, we were so close to leaving behind TLJ discussion.

God Tier Disney Starwar: Mandolorian Decent/watchable Tier: Rogue One TLJ Clone Wars Season 7 Rebels TFA Bad tier: Solo Hell tier: Rise of Skywalker Resistance The sequels are kind of hard to rate because as a trilogy they sort of live or die together and Rise of Skywalker was so lovely and turned the whole thing into a shaggy dog story, making the first two retroactively worse than however bad you thought they were.

Solo would have been a cool movie if Han, Chewie, and Lando weren't Han, Chewie, and Lando and were just brand new characters instead.

Solo is a lot of fun as a movie but not as fun as a star wars movie. The music is pretty good there's lots of fun designs and delightful scenes. It's like a sum is not as good as the parts situation. Also I liked resistance 😩 I might be the only one but I swear the animation style is really good for star wars and they should make a rogue squadron animated show in that style!!

I don’t mind the animation style of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s just that every single time I’ve caught an episode of Resistance it’s felt nothing like Star Wars and I’ve been bored immediately.

OldSenileGuy posted:Maybe if the Snyder Cut is a success we'll eventually get the Lord/Miller cut of Solo. Probably not because Lord & Miller reportedly were taken off the job because nobody liked their work. An anonymous actor interviewed by Vulture said Ron Howard didn’t change their script but Lord & Miller were doing insane numbers of takes for no real reason and seeming to not understand how they were supposed to shoot a Star Wars film.

The only thing I recognize them from is they were producers on Spider-Verse, which is one of my favorite films of all time. But Han is the worst main character and I don’t understand why anyone ever liked him TBH. Seems like he’s just a rude rear end in a top hat who gets captured and then he dies like a punk baby after being a lovely dad.

Lord & Miller brought the directing style of shooting a comedy to Solo; multiple takes, encouraging improvisation and extemporaneous jokes, etc. Absolutely a valid way to make a movie, but maybe not the best fit for a multimillion dollar blockbuster on a strict deadline.

The Solo movie gave us Childish Landino Calrissian and if they can make more movies or shows with him in it then that’d be great. I liked Solo in that it was just a dumb fun movie.

Why does he have to be the most talented and acclaimed musician, actor, director, writer, comedian in all of Hollywood? I thought I was a big fan but like... drat dude take a breather
