I just sat here for a few minutes thinking of something I did like about Solo. All I could think of was the period where he joins the Empire and is on that planet where he meets Woody and Chewbacca. I wanted to see more of his time in the Empire because that was the only thing interesting about the film.

I also would have liked to have seen the first version of the film before Ron Howard took over. Was it really that bad? Or did the executives just not understand what Phil Lord and Chris Miller were doing and we could have potentially had the best new Star Wars film?

It's so bad it's probably true.

Han is a doofus. He had the greatest excuse ever for paying jabba late. "Hey bro I just stuck it to the space cops big time making it easier for you to keep doing space crimes." too bad phones or paypal dont exist in star war

Wasn't it more about Jabba looking weak and vulnerable to the other crime lords and that's why he was so pissed at Han?

Rey was supposed to be the Chosen One. Palps and his Master sensed that the Force would create its own physical embodiment but they were able to transform it and created Anakin instead. Anakin still fulfills the prophecy after all and the Force abandons Rey on Jakku. She was never meant to have a role and jumps through a time portal at the end of the movie, finding herself as Shmi Skywalker. Directed and written by JJ Abrams.

Why is it that Palpatine seems genuinely badass in ROTJ as he drips with pride and malice, just chewing the scenery, but post-scarring ROTS Palpatine just seems cheesy, like the actor is clearly hamming it up?

Williams said he was gonna incorporate everything from all three trilogies since it's supposed to be the ending but keep quoting Youtubers I guess

I just want a stupid fight sequence between Rey and Kylo where they Force time travel through every other lightsaber fight but are juuuuust in the right place to not be seen by anyone else but we know..... We know.

After listening to those music tracks I couldn't find anything new that stuck out or felt memorable but that's without watching the movie for context. I just hear the old, familiar themes in a few of those pieces. Meh. This whole trilogy is meh.


If they make more Star Wars then it's time to have John Williams retire and give the reigns to the GoT music dude.

Was this more of Kennedy's fault or JJ's fault?

Aside from Star Trek 09, I've never really cared for his other stuff.

I just have to laugh at them spending billions on the Star Wars parks right when production on the first movies started and then completely basing those parks on the gamble that people will care about this trilogy more than the previous ones.


What a waste of time and possibility.

Does this movie ever explain who the old man was that gives Poe the map piece in TFA and why he has it?

At least in The Old Republic MMO they meticulously set up why there was a sudden surprise secret empire and when you actually play as the non-force-sensitives on that side, there's some interesting stories about how, in fact, that hosed up a lot of the people involved and is a kind of neat example of fantasy-fascist-stand-in leaders inventing grievance to solidify loyalty and a power base.



Man, I really want to replay the Agent's storyline now.


Hopefully we get an Old Republic film now that Disney is probably relieved to get rid of the ST anchor from their neck. Remove Kathleen Kennedy and give Jon Favreau $300 mil to start planning something new and give him creative freedom.

gently caress it, go even further back and let's see the beginning of the Jedi before they even come up with the name.

sure but at least it will be fun.

Favreau also probably likes video games and would encourage Disney to start making more of them especially now that Fallen Order sold like crazy. I don't know if KK was in charge of those decisions but she seems like the kind of mom who called everything a Nintendo.

So what the gently caress is Project Maverick really and when can I play X-Wing Alliance 2?
