Done, spoilered. Do you feel the character of Han Solo is deepened by this story?

Spoiler: show: Ive read a couple reviews signaling a similar feeling. As someone who never cared for or felt a Solo movie was necessary, im kind of glad it stays light on character development and just focuses on an entertaining ride. Han Solo is Han Solo and I dont need to know why.

How do you deepen a character when you’re telling a story about him as a younger man?

This film does it. In spades. Shows you he is the good guy. But also shows how he becomes so hardened and almost cynical.

I understand him coming back to help Luke make that shot on the Death Star 100% more now.

Thanks pal. I can’t waiit for you to see. Think Rebels. Think clone wars. End of message.

D -

Would you say this is essential star wars or a just a nice side addition?

Posted: **Thu May 24, 2018 3:53 am**

I'd say nice addition. But I loved it.

I'm seeing more typical critical reviews on this one. No surprises there. It's become the uber cool-nerd thing to dislike these new movies. There are a few people I encounter in my life regularly and it's exhausting to hear them go on about the movies in such a negative way. I especially hate when they're start their sentences with "My problem with (movie title here) is.." or "What they did wrong with...". Sigh. Some of these people are still going on about TLJ. Seriously, I get that you don't like it and I respect that. But, stop going on about it.

None of the Star Wars movies are perfect. Some are just far more enjoyable to watch than others. Each of the new ones have been an entertaining couple of hours for me and that's all I expect.

This move felt like a Star Wars movie and it was fun. The actors were well cast. I think Woody shone in his role and the casting for Solo was pretty spot on. Chewie and Han's chemistry was great.

Spoiler: show: Darth Maul's appearance was fucking awesome. Seeing him stand up with his mechanical legs and modified saber hilt helped pinpoint the era in which this all occurred.

Enjoy everyone. I'm keeping out of this thread until I see it sometime next week.

Posted: **Thu May 24, 2018 4:51 am**

This thread is already exhausting. I can’t believe someone quoted fucking Chris Stuckman unironically.

Posted: **Thu May 24, 2018 5:08 am**

I enjoyed the hell out of this. It’s absolutely not essential, it’s absolutely entertaining though.

Cast was pretty spot on and Howard was the perfect Director.

Posted: **Thu May 24, 2018 8:10 am**

No lightsabers, no force just a whole lot of fun!
I really enjoyed this movie. Not sure where it ranks yet.
It also felt like there will be a sequel to it..

Spoiler: show: Darth Maul with mechanical legs!! Darth 'fucking' Maul. I thought he was dead, in the animated and books he appareantly survived, and was ulitmately killed by Obi-Wan some 20 years later. The is universe building, Darth Maul will be the official bad guy for the coming anthology movies (Boba Fett or Obi-Wan??). It's a marvel-like universe building trick, but I'm ok with it!

Delighted to see you guys like it

and yes

Spoiler: show: Maul. Fucking maul!! You can bet your house this is the set up and tie in for the Obi wan film.

Also, if you told me Dave Filoni wrote me directed this, I would have no trouble at all believing it. Look and feels and moves like Rebels. The Acton the way headshots were framed but also almost the entire story. Perfect fit for the period it’s set in.
