I watched "Solo" on Friday. I liked it, a lot more than some of the recent Star Wars flicks. And my enjoyment wasn't solely due to the fact that one of the main actresses from Game of Thrones had a starring role.
All things Star Wars
- Thread starter Ooh-Rah
- Start date
Finally got some time away from work and decided to catch up on the Star Wars movies, Rogue One was pretty great and certainly had nothing to do with my infatuation with Felicity Jones... Solo was alright, granted I'm not as emotionally invested in the SWverse so certain things didn't bother me like it did for others but I enjoyed my 2 hours lost due to watching.
The Last Jedi...was garbage, complete and utter trash, bad would be another descriptor for it, but unlike Sharknado 2: The Second One or beer cheese covered fries where it's so bad it actually comes full circle and becomes good again, TLJ is locked in this purgatory of The Little Engines That Couldn't and of people walking slowly down the hallway blocking traffic.

Definite “make up call” by Ron Howard and a bit of a “fuck off” to George Lucas.

Just wanted to pop my head in here and say... Fuck Rian Johnson.
Someone please tell me why Solo wasn't released at Christmas like the recent Star Wars films. I enjoyed Solo as well. Good storytelling.
When you wake up seeing that high speed hover-bassinet floating by your bed, know that you’re well and truly fucked.
Something I didn't think of.

My liver gently weeps at the thought of partying that hard. Imagine explaining to CQ and the MP's how you ended up caring for an alien child in a bassinet after a drunken binge.When you wake up seeing that high speed hover-bassinet floating by your bed, know that you’re well and truly fucked.
You know... that could make for an awesome soju commercial!

Meanwhile Disney comments..."would you puh-leeze shut the fuck up and let the movie release before you go doing political interviews!"

How do I say: Hey Bitch, you're the problem? Assholes like her are why everyone is voting for Boris and everyone will vote for Trump. The more you villify working people that also are the reason you have a blessed life, the more they'll vote for people like Trump.

I'm seeing the movie flop. Spoilers are out and it's not good. Rumors about the test screenings are out and they're not good either. Kathleen Kennedy, Rian Johnson, and the rest of their ilk ruined the franchise. They're going to blame the film flopping on 'deplorables' and 'Trump voters'.

And that's actually okay with me. In every case, especially the entertainment industry, follow the money. So far....Disney has figured it out with the Mandalorian. The success and sequels to Taken show it, as does the success of John Wick. Sex sells, guns sell, and toxic masculinity (whatever that is) sells. Hollywood will bitch that 'we' are deplorable, but they will also make movies to entertain us because we spend the money.
Have you noticed that the Rose Tico character has all but been invisible from the marketing campaign for this final movie? Try to find merchandise for her: Why Exactly is Rose Tico Being Removed From Star Wars Merchandise?
Did you notice that in Mandalorian they did not choose another 90 pound Twix-bar to play the badass female character? They chose a woman who has a little meat on her bones and looks like she could actually do what she does on the show.
Make a shitty movie with shitty characters and blame whomever you like....make a movie that interests me and that I can relate to somehow? You can cash my checks all year long.
