Kinda wish they’d stop inventing new Stormtroopers for every movie. Like they’re all cool but they had some great opportunities to show some OT variants. Patrol trooper could’ve been replaced with a Scout trooper and he could’ve driven that brown speeder bike as well. Rangetroopers while kinda badass could’ve been Snowtroopers. Seeing modern versions of those armors would’ve been cool. Although maybe they thought Snowtroopers look like KKK..... lmao Same goes for ships. I’d rather see them reuse the U-Wing and Imperial transport shuttle and other ones they made in like Rogue one and whatnot in another anthology instead of inventing new ones. Just connects the universe a bit better imo. Don’t get me wrong I like seeing the new stuff but still Keeping the same designs doesn't give the kids new toys to buy, you heartless monster!  Yeah but I really wanted to see snowtroopers on Vandor.... |

Yeah think I'm gonna go back and see this on Thursday in 3D this time. Most of the 3D showings were full on the opening weekend actually... but guess we only got one cinema in town as well

After a second viewing I think I like the movie more. I like the expansion to the universe and the more low key kind of Star Wars you could say. I like seeing stuff not related to the main plot or the force.
It’s funny how we get to see more planets in the spinoffs then in the sequels. Corellia, Mimbian, Vandor, Kessel, the desert planet at the end and whatever jungle world Lando was on at the end.
I liked the real gritty warfare the empire was fighting at the start and idk I just think most of the movie is great. It doesn’t really attach itself or rely on the other films much the only connection is Han, Lando and Chewie. But Chewie is Chewie he never changes and Han while similar to the OT is different in many ways.
I honestly wish this was a trilogy tbh... the second film we could see whatever heist Jabba has planned and get to see the rivalry Han forms with the bounty hunters and Jabba. And the third film honestly doesn’t need to be about Han really, I’d rather it be about Maul and Crimson Dawn/ Qi’ra and see how Mauls criminal empire falls apart. Since obviously he doesn’t have it in Rebels

So what did everyone here think of it overall? It seems like it was kind of positive which is saying a lot since I know a lot of you don't like the Disney stuff.  My opinion of the Last Jedi has gotten worse over time, but this was actually a pretty good movie. I think I like the spinoffs more than the new trilogy. It's kind of a shame it bombed so hard. |

I think it's my favorite one out of all of them to be honest. Though I've only seen it once.. But I think my opinion will stay the same when I watch it again |

It was great honestly, I loved seeing a unique Star Wars side adventure that wasn't reliant on the core movies at all. I think Rouge One was amazing as well but obviously that leaned heavily on ANH. Alden and Glover's performances were very impressive as well, more so the later but I thought Alden was convincing as Han. For some reason I questioned him more in the opening sequence though, not sure why but my Dad pointed that out too that he was kinda weird on Corellia. |

I agree with you that TLJ hasn't aged as well with me as I was expecting. I used to like it more than TFA, but now I think it's worse than its predecessor. As for Solo, I think it was a really good side adventure story in the saga. I'm not sure if I like it better than Rogue One yet, but it was definitely good in its own way and much better than what many were anticipating. |

I thought the same thing, but I figured that it was me adjusting to Alden being Han Solo. I'll have to watch it again to see if I still think he's kind of awkward in those scenes. |

Yeah it was a really weird first impression and then when you get to the battle he just becomes a lot more like Han. |

Maybe it was an intentional move to show that Han acted differently before joining the Empire. Thus, it serves as one way to demonstrate how Han became the character we see in ANH. To counter that though, Han was already a scoundrel. I thought it was more so his dialogue that was off on Corellia. It's possible the writing just wasn't the greatest for him in the beginning. Not a huge deal, just something small that many viewers won't even notice. |

Hmm while I was on Amazon I noticed there is a book that is a prequel to Solo about how he met Q'ira. Apparently the reviews are quite favorable. Catalyst was a good prequel to Rouge One, maybe I should check out this other book Kenbo you might be itnerested as well |

Just not a fan of reading though lol |

I wonder if Beckett and Bossk know each other from killing Aurra Sing together... we know Beckett was the one that got the kill but Beckett and his girlfriend also know Bossk somehow. I’m sure Bossk and Boba didn’t like Aurra much after abandoning them on Florrum. I think there’s a Beckett comic series out now so maybe it will be shown there.
I mean I’m pretty Bane and Aurra were originally going to die in final Hunter arc though... Boba would have killed Bane in that standoff, the one where Bane shoots Boba in the head and puts that iconic dent in his helmet (which btw makes that time Sabine too the blaster to the head seem more believable, I think that was the point they were trying to get across there that the Mandalorian armor is fairly strong).
As for Aurra maybe she would have died before Bane which might have led to the rift of the hunters choosing sides or maybe she would be executed after Boba takes over idk

I am probably going to watch the movie once it is up on pirate bay this week... But I have to say... The only scene I have seen so far is really good:
That is the first thing Disney did that could genuinely have excited me if I watched this in the cinema and did not see the leaked Maul picture before. I don't care for Han, but an unexpected Maul cameo? Awesome!

Still it's a really cool scene |

And they kind of have to follow-up on Maul because right now his appearance is kind of random for people who just watch the movies. It would make no sense to bring back Maul into the movies only to never do anything with him. I am sure Maul will be back, I just wish they had not killed him off in Rebels. A Obi-wan VS Maul rematch in a live action movie would have been awesome. |

A Obi-wan VS Maul rematch in a live action movie would have been awesome. Well if they're still set to use more of him, then maybe they could have him as a villain in another movie. One that's not a sequel to Solo, but something else. Actually just making a film with him as the star wouldn't be too bad a business decision at this point |

Also, I am not sure, but I think Rebels ties into Rogue One. |

So I just downloaded and watched the movie... I am surprised I ended up liking it. It is definitely the best of the new movies by far. There are some cringy moments that are only in there to reference the original trilogy and the whole droid revolution side-plot is kind of weird. But overall it is a decent movie that really expands the universe. It is a pity this movie was released after the disaster that was Last Jedi. This is the kind of stuff Disney should have been making instead of the Sequel trilogy. I hope the fact that this movie flopped won't discourage Disney from making more underworld movies.
I liked the new characters, especially Becket. I even ended up liking Han, despite the fact that I always found him annoying in the original trilogy. The only character I didn't like is that droid.

That's a surprising level of detail to put into such a tiny cameo |

I also liked that battle scene early on in the movie. Seemed much less clean than the usual battles we see in Star Wars. Reminded me of World War I.

Kind of sad Maul's organization is no longer called the Shadow Collective though. I understand that would have ruined his surprise cameo at the end, but I liked that name.

They should make the next spin-off Sheev: A Star Wars Story. Then have Maul in that and show how Palpatine trained him to survive extreme injuries ("I used your training master"). It wouldn't have to focus on Maul, but it could be used to explain why Maul is alive for people who just watch the movies. Then have Maul return in other underworld movies and the Obi-wan spin-off.

it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
