" when I figured it out, and only because it was one of those weird unexplained eccentricities that stuck out to me from the OT that not only does the Falcon have a consciousness but she's also kind of a weirdo.

SeANMcBAY posted:Are those shows good? Rebels mainly suffers from having a fraction of the budget of Clone Wars. George Lucas poured a lot of his own money into the show so it could look as good as it did. Rebels has the feeling of a low-level role playing campaign that manages to become more epic in the last two seasons. High points in Rebels for people who haven't watched the Clone Wars show but are familiar with Star Wars lore in general are guest appearances by Tarkin, Bail Organa, young Leia, Lando, and Thrawn. For the people who watched The Clone Wars, you get reappearances by/storyline resolutions for Maul, Ahsoka, and some of the clone guys as now grumpy old men. Plus, the Rebels show has the best lovable rear end in a top hat / homicidal maniac astromech droid ever.

I would’ve liked to have seen more of Spooky Industrial Blade Runner World (Corellia) and WW1 Frontlines World (Mimban). Just a lil bit more. Maybe some inner workings of the Imperial Academy. And more of Thandie Newton and Jon Favreau‘s Mini Goro character, Rio Durant. And less of Emilia Clarke, who is a heinous actor. The Lady Droid was awesome and they iced her 15 minutes later. I was pissed. Also, apparently Chewie eats people. Donglover was easily one of the best parts of the movie. He had Billy Dee’s mannerisms and swagger down pat.

Did we need to know the exiting origin of the Falcons GPS? It also leads to a problem I have that I don't really have a word or phrase to describe, but essentially it's "everything is important". the Falcon can't just have a wonky computer like everything else on the ship is wonky, It has to be the end result of some character arc and have "significance". Han can't just be calling the Falcon "baby" like people call their cars, no it's because now the ship is literally a girl robot. It makes the movie feel, I don't know, unreal?, ungrounded?, inhuman? Every line of dialogue from the original is taken so incredibly literally it's like the writers don't understand english.

Gonz posted:Also, apparently Chewie eats people. I think they mention that they haven't fed Chewie in days, so it was more like Imperial racism. I don't know if Chewie was actually trying to eat Han or just attacking him because he was mad. He definitely should have pictured Han with the body of a roasted Porg like it was a Looney Tunes episode though. Gonz posted:And less of Emilia Clarke, who is a heinous actor. I really want to know what kind of direction Ron Howard could have been giving her that she liked so much more than Lord & Miller's "you're a woman from a film noir" because I didn't see much of anything on screen. I'm neutral about her on Game of Thrones and actually didn't hate her in Terminator Genisys but, man, this was a nothing role as written and she brought nothing to it.

Has anyone said how the Lord/Miller version of this movie would have been better yet? Because I will. The Lord/Miller version of this movie would definitely have been better. They probably wouldn’t have had anything as stupid as making Lando upset about the death of a ridiculous anarchist fuckbot either.

Darth Maul’s appearance in this movie gets stupider and stupider the more I think about it. I know it wasn’t his choice here but Lucas not bringing him back in Ep. and 2 was one of the few things I respected about the prequels. Like, why.

18-year-old me watching the end of Solo (simulated): "Holy poo poo! That's awesome!" 36-year-old me watching the end of Solo (actual): "What the gently caress?" What I want now from whatever movie comes out next is to absolutely destroy the canon and gently caress with everything so that I can be free of this series once and for all. Like, - Snoke actually WAS Mace Windu after all! - Han Solo's ex-girlfriend from this movie is Kylo Ren's REAL mother! - In accordance with Star Wars Universe Black Person Regulations, Finn was actually the son of Lando! - Boba Fett is still alive and has his sights set Kylo Ren! all mentioned within the span of 5 minutes Mezzanine fucked around with this message at 21:30 on May 25, 2018 |

Han doesn’t give his last name and says he’s alone to an officer when joining the Imperial Navy so the officer puts down Solo as a last name.

Honestly if this is the solo movie it would have been better if she had double crossed Han face to face and basically taught him Harrelson's lesson right then and there, which makes his just straight up merking the guy make more sense and be his 'heel' turn, and then had Saw come in and just take the stuff from him anyway, leaving him for dead and taking pity on him or something to get to the last part. And Saw would've been a far better callback than Maul for that sequence.

Yeah, I'll give you that. Also don't get me wrong, I'm not upset that he showed up, I just think it was the worst. Nothing in the movie upset me. In fact, I think I'm starting to derive too much pleasure from other people getting pissed off about any of these movies, Star Wars, Marvel, whatever. I was grinning ear to ear through the end of Infinity War, and I was enjoying listening to some guy behind me last night moaning about "Why the hell did they bring him back? This undoes everything that's happened to this point!". Not sure what he meant exactly, though.
