Burgold Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 21 hours ago, Mooka said: Looks more like a JJ Abrams Captain Kirk story then a Han Solo movie. I was hoping for more of a space western feel then this Disney'd out epic, super fun whatever.  Casting is of Han is definitely suspect and Emilia Clarke's one line in the trailer sounded dumb. I think Donald Glover would make a better Han Solo then that guy. Not sure if Woody and Paul Bettany can save this movie. Yeah, a Han Solo movie should have been a swashbuckling pirate movie looking at the underside of the Republic or the Empire with its mob families, criminal underworlds, etc. Even better, it could have been a grifter movie with Han running cons on the Empire, on Jabba, and playing everyone else in sight in search of that big score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Jedi is over $1.3 billion at the box office so far. As far as Disney is concerned, they'll just keep pumping them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made a killing, was well-reviewed.  It seems people are going to complain one way or the other. TFA was bashed for being an ANH clone, TLJ is being bashed for not being Star Wars enough?  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very likely. Last Jedi grossed $614 million dollars though. Wonder Woman made $412 million. Justice League made $228 million. They've got a long way to go before Disney decides they need to slow it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 15 hours ago, Warhead36 said: The Old Republic era, where the Knights of the Old Republic games are based off, have some fantastic lore. I've always felt like a Netflix series based on Knights of the Old Republic would be terrific. Â That sounds fine. I'm sure die-hard SW nerds would love it. But I think Disney had decided that you can't do a billion dollar film without a cameo by Chewbacca and C-3PO and Darth Vader and so forth. Â I'm a pretty big Star Wars nerd - though the entire extended universe thing left me cold. I don't think I would go out of my way to watch a show like that, though I could be sucked in. I generally hate "Fantasy" and became hooked on Game of Thrones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mournblade Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I think Solo could actually surprise. Lawrence Kasdan wrote the script, and it supposed to be pretty clever and very funny. Yeah I know they got Richie Cunningham from Happy Days as the last minute director, but at least he isn't incompetent, and should put out a solid film. It could end up being a surprise hit, kind of like Thor:Ragnarok was last year.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he was he one that stood on the table for Downey Jr casting. Plus, it’s easy to look back now that IM is an A+ character but back then, nobody gave a **** about Iron Man and he was tasked with taking a non mainstream character and making something so good it launched the entire marvel cinematic universe. He nailed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Personally, I hate how Luke Skywalker went out. It killed the entire series for me.

I am a huge fan of his both as heading up a project as well as in stuff. So I am pretty psyched for it.

But all of the issues I had with 8 PLUS Luke being killed off just sealed the deal for me. Hated it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
