The New Star Wars Films

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Han Solo without Harrison Ford just seems an odd sell. No one's going to be the same, so why bother? At some point, they're going to have to actually tell new stories with new characters and not keep relying on the same fan favourite cues to cashing in.

[Ted]

They've already done Young Han Solo; it was called Star Wars.

[Ted]

Wasn’t that excited about the Solo movie (still not massively excited like with the others) but the trailer looks pretty interesting.

 

Looking forward to seeing more Lando.

 

Weird it’s out in only three months also and the general public are only hearing about it now with this trailer release - obviously the focus up to now was TLJ so it makes sense I suppose.

 

That'll be cos they had to reshoot the entire thing after sacking the original directors and getting Richie Cunningham in.

[Strontium]

Once Episode IX is out of the way, I think they'll then be more amenable to creating a (new) expanded universe with fresh characters.

 

One can understand their reticence given the "mixed" (read: hateful) reception that most of the new characters in The Last Jedi received.

[Ted]

Did I dream it or did Luke Skywalker fucking milk something?

[Pureblood]

[Strontium]

It was a homage to the blue milk in the first Star Wars - or, if you're a men's right activist, a metaphor for the feminisation of Star Wars by Kathleen Kennedy (this is basically the level that Star Wars criticism is at right now).

[Ted]

I got the blue milk thing, I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was so fucking strange.

[ZonkoVille77]

Ted doesn't seem to have had a good experience of The Last Jedi....

[Pureblood]

The Last Tedi.

[Juniper]

That'll be cos they had to reshoot the entire thing after sacking the original directors and getting Richie Cunningham in.

You mean the same guy who directed A Beautiful Mind?

 

Did you have a large Pepsi at the cinema by chance, Ted?

[TheBitch]

Ted is not happy.

[Mook]

Fuck all wrong with Happy Days.

[RedKnight]

The Last Jedi is a decent movie and a good Star Wars movie. Why?

 

[RedKnight]

In all seriousness, I can't believe how upset people have got over it. To the point that they keep telling everyone how much they hate it as much as possible. It's ultimately just a movie. It hasn't ruined your childhood, they haven't ruined Episodes IV to VI, they're not paying critics, it doesn't matter if the cast is more diverse.

 

[RedKnight]

Oh and Solo looks like it might be a real misfire. Yeah yeah, Han shot first.

[Hand Shandy]

Probably the best thing about that Solo trailer was Emilia Clarke, and that was only because she looked fit.

[Scott_M]

That Han Solo lad had to have acting lessons on set apparently. Doesn't look like they've fucking worked.

Yeah, the film looks alright but he doesn’t strike me as Han Solo at all.

[ZonkoVille77]

Yeah, the film looks alright but he doesn’t strike me as Han Solo at all.

 

In that short sequence he looked like he was playing out in the garden with his buddies. He'll be fucking shite.

 

Good to see Woody though. Always liked him as an actor.

[Ted]

Let me clear some shit up: I'm not angry about it, I just found it to be incredibly strange and nonsensical. I like the new characters, but I feel like after the first film they had no idea what to do with any of them. I've never been one of those "my childhood has been destroyed" fans as Star Wars is something I never watched until the 90s and it was never that important to me; I just thought they were good films.

 

I think it's a poor film in general; not just a poor star wars film.

 

Also I didn't pay to see it.

 

Also I don't like Pepsi

[Jenson]

Did I dream it or did Luke Skywalker fucking milk something?

 

The worst bit of the whole film for me, and it had some stiff competition.

[Special K]

There's going to be an "I know" moment in the new Han Solo film isn't there?

[Pureblood]

Don't get cocky.

[rubble-rouser]

I have a very bad feeling ab ... ah fuck it

[Section_31]

Never tell me the odds
