Solo: A Star Wars Story

[BrianL]

Seriously though...I hope the movie doesn't just consist of checking points off a list.

- here's how han got his blaster!
- here's how han met chewie!
- here's how han met lando
- here how han won the falcon!
- here's where Han's pants come from,!

I just hope the movie doesn't think we need every little thing about him in the originals answered.

Come on, now, I've always wanted to know where Han's pants came from!

I watched the red carpet last night when I should have been asleep.

It seems like they're pushing Donald Glover a lot over Aldenreich. Just a little odd, I wonder how much screentime lando will even get.

I'm one of the naysayers of this movie, bit I'll still be there opening day and give it a fair shot.

I think Donald Glover is more the known quantity and people have more confidence in him doing a good job and a lot of the questioning is around if Aldenreich can pull off Han Solo ... so it sort of makes sense to push him more get people excited about the part they feel more confident about

from the early reviews it seems like Aldenreich does a good job but it takes a while to get used to him in the role, so, for lack of a better way of saying it, by promoting Glover more it let's people ease into the film and accepting Aldenreich over time rather than being singularly focused on him

Where is the toilet on the millennium falcon?

Where is the toilet on the millennium falcon?

hopefully there is more than one ... I don't want to think about using one directly after a Wookie

 

[DVCcurious]

The numbers will be fine. People hated Phantom Menace and it made +$1B.

$475 million worldwide gross.

$475 million worldwide gross.

That's domestic. Per Box Office Mojo, Episode I's worldwide total is $1,027,044,677. That total includes any re-releases including the 3-D version. It's also the best Star Wars movie, so it's well-deserved.

Another review I read (was just a series of tweets so hard to post/link) is that it might be the most beautifully shot Star Wars movie yet and all the characters and performances are great EXCEPT Ehrenreich. He called it “the Star Wars movie Jake Lloyd has been waiting for”

Now this seems counter to a lot of other takes - but I think there will be some that no matter what he did, would not accept him as Han Solo

I think accepting Alden as Han is going to be the biggest battle of this movie.

I am glad they went more with trying to have a similar view be vs doing a Harrison Ford impersonation ... question is how well he pulls it off

Most of what I’ve seen so far says he does it well but takes a good 30 minutes to get used to a different Han.

Ugh, like Rian actually thinks people care about his opinion. I can’t bare this guy. He’s like that unpopular family member that just won’t go away

Some people did like the Last Jedi and do like Rain Johnson.

Isn’t that kinda like “yoko ono’s reaction to Let it Be?”

 

[Planogirl]

I'd like to see some unbiased reviews. So far so good though.

I'll say it...I LOVED The Last Jedi!

 

[DVCcurious]

Last Jedi got 45% on rotten tomatoes so obviously some people liked it.

Star Wars used to make movies for everyone. Now they’ve decided to push an agenda that, apparently, only 45% of people who watched it want to see.

I've Nothing clean to say here. Harrison Ford looked good in that outfit.

And I refused to judge the new actor until I see him.

I just find it crazy that one Star Wars movie turned so many people off. The prequels weren’t good and people survived and moved on. It just seems with the Last Jedi some people were so turned off they don’t want to watch Star Wars ever again.
