I�m excited for Solo because it features one of my favorite Star Wars characters: The Millenium Falcon.

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.

20 years from now, we�ll all be digitized into the Disney HoloNet and we will live out all our spookiest and skerriest Star Wars fantasies, like getting shitfaced with Sebulba and getting badmouthed by Captain Needa.

quote:

The fascinating thing about an intellectual property as sprawling as �Star Wars� is how it can build on itself via commentary on its own internal lore. That�s unique, and only possible for a brand with generations of adulation behind it.

Case in point: Han Solo shooting first. When George Lucas altered the original �Star Wars� in 1997 to depict Harrison Ford�s scruffy-looking smuggler firing on the alien Greedo in self-defense, rather than preemptively dispensing with a threat, fans lost their minds. It was an affront, the neutering of a badass.

As recently as 2015, Lucas was still defending his decision. To him, Solo was a cowboy in the John Wayne mold, therefore honorable. The hero has to let the villain have the first shot. In a mano-a-mano, Western shoot-out sense, that tracks. But while Solo may be archetypal on one hand, on the other, he is a sui generis creation that fits no mold.

The new film, directed by Ron Howard and written by Lawrence and Jonathan Kasdan, aims to set the record straight once and for all. Throughout �Solo,� the eponymous space cowboy�s mentor Tobias Beckett (played by Woody Harrelson) warns him in no uncertain terms: Trust no one.

By film�s end � and after a particularly crushing betrayal by Beckett that underscores his own advice � that wisdom has finally found root. In an unmistakable moment, Solo blasts the traitor away mid-sentence.

�It�s pretty clear, we think,� Lawrence Kasdan says. �And it was a large motivation for both of us.�

Kasdan�s son and co-writer Jonathan adds that there was no room left on the page for interpretation.

�So that the actors knew, and so everyone involved knew, it was explicitly written in the description: �There can be no question that Han shoots first.'�

That�s some serious re-tinkering. Fans will no doubt be delighted but what did Lucas think? He certainly didn�t make the initial alteration without giving it serious thought.

�I�m happy to report, not only did George see the movie and like it before, I walked into the premiere with him and he was in a fabulous mood and he really likes this movie,� Lawrence Kasdan says. �So I have to assume that was not some earth-shaking thing for him. Or he�s let it go.�

Adds Jonathan: �Or he feels at peace with it finally.�

Lando Calrissian became pals with Lobot and forgot that L3-37, the British hacker lady robot, became yesterday�s news. This will all be covered in the Lobot movie, y�see.

Per Dark_Tzitzimine in the Greenlighting thread:

quote:

Star Wars: Episode IX will begin filming at London�s Pinewood Studios on August 1, 2018. J.J. Abrams returns to direct the final installment of the Skywalker saga. Abrams co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Terrio.

Returning cast members include Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong�o, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, Joonas Suotamo, and Billie Lourd. Joining the cast of Episode IX are Naomi Ackie and Richard E. Grant, who will be joined by veteran Star Wars actors Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, and Billy Dee Williams, who will reprise his role as Lando Calrissian.

The role of Leia Organa will once again be played by Carrie Fisher, using previously unreleased footage shot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. �We desperately loved Carrie Fisher,� says Abrams. �Finding a truly satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker saga without her eluded us. We were never going to recast, or use a CG character. With the support and blessing from her daughter, Billie, we have found a way to honor Carrie�s legacy and role as Leia in Episode IX by using unseen footage we shot together in Episode VII.�

Composer John Williams, who has scored every chapter in the Star Wars saga since 1977�s A New Hope, will return to a galaxy far, far away with Episode IX. Star Wars: Episode IX will be produced by Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams, and Michelle Rejwan, and executive produced by Callum Greene and Jason McGatlin. The crew includes Dan Mindel (Director of Photography), Rick Carter and Kevin Jenkins (Co-Production Designers), Michael Kaplan (Costume Designer), Neal Scanlan (Creature and Droid FX), Maryann Brandon and Stefan Grube (Editors), Roger Guyett (VFX Supervisor), Tommy Gormley (1st AD), and Victoria Mahoney (2nd Unit Director).

Rey is actually Obi-Wan Kenobi reincarnated into a lady.

She's super British and can use the Force to bend people to her will and she, too, enjoys fighting dudes with red lightsabers. She also lived alone for a long time in the desert and had to fight off some alien creature to save a droid.

Episode IX will feature her trying to prevent the First Order from blowing up a bridge that she and the Resistance just finished building.
