I think my "dream" would have just been the Heir to the Empire series on film, but, well, the ship sailed on that... But maybe that is just more nostalgia speaking...

I know people like her because she's really good at looking anxiously towards a window for literally an entire season, but Christie's name needs to stay out your mouth when you're talking about costuming mistakes regarding the likes of Elba and Oscar Issacs.

DMC Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Liked the trailer. Reminds me of that South Park episode - JJ Abrams knows exactly how to exploit nostalgia. But yeah that title is shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Han solo failed because either the general public didn't care or because hardcore fans were upset about last jedi/a film they thought was uneccessary (probably didn't help they went way over budget on it too). Disney's conclusion was that people don't want to watch prequels about existing characters. I'm not sure watching star wars films set in the "present", especially when you are not excited about it will help change their mind. Although maybe the lesson you learned was that films that don't appear exciting may turn out to be pretty decent (that was my experience with Solo) and you don't want to risk missing out? I too would like a Ewan McGregor Obi wan film and hopefully Disney will realise that featuring him doing something where we don't know the broad details could still work. But I'm at a loss as to how i can influence the decision especially if it means their new films have to underperform to achieve it. Best chances are probably to watch Clone wars and buy the box set when it comes out and somehow hope they maybe get obi wan into the rogue one prequel show. We can only hope.

Darth Richard II Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Solo failed for a bunch of different reasons, though I think, in my opinion of course, the main thing was the release window combined with too late, shitty marketing. Also having to reshoot the entire film didn't help. If not for the reshoots it would have actually been mildly profitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Solo actually surprised me. I didn't expect to enjoy it. I almost didn't even see it in the theater. Glad I did. But yea, it was released too close to Last Jedi. Not because of backlash, but because it was only 6 months after VIII. Why didn't they just hold it for December?

Yeah, they should only hire bad actors to play characters that don't have their bare faces exposed... 2 hours ago, Toth said: Also Palpatine is back? The hell? I'm sure this is because everybody loved Dark Empire back in the days... I suspect it's because JJ had to come up with a replacement for Snoke!

Kennedy wanted to but Bog Iger insisted on them sticking to the may release date. He's admitted as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another Arya ! Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 - The mountainous and stormy planet shown quickly at the beginning seems the same as in Rogue One, where Jyn's father was held; - Lando put on weight but his pirate's smile remains the same; - Stop with the ruins or wreckages of everything everywhere! We already had the wreckage of the star destroyer in Episode VII, Millenium Falcon is a kind of "alive" wreckage, if I may say so... Does it mean that in an Episode XII or XVI or whatever we will see the ruins of the Starkiller or the dreadnought-with-an-impossible-name? - The title sucks, but there is still a tiny hope left: maybe Rey is not a Skywalker...that was the only good point of the Episode VIII scenario. The "rising Skywalker" could be random people without kinship with the family, but calling themself "Skywalker" because they master the Force while rejecting the rules of the Jedi. - Granted, they put back this good old Palpatine. So I demand Thrawn too! Pleaaaaaase... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, nothing else please, just like a sort of Koyaanisqatsi (OK, add in some John Williams score and lets go). That might well be the "prefect" Star Wars movie for me and I only just realized. 9 minutes ago, Yet another Arya ! said: - Granted, they put back this good old Palpatine. So I demand Thrawn too! Pleaaaaaase... Can't agree more, that's why I said Heir to the Empire would have been great movies, but no... I think they did add Thrawn in one of the cartoons, right?

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 It’s a good trailer. But all the sequels have had good trailers. That doesn’t mean the films were similarly good. TLJ was quite a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still hard to see how it could only make a third of rogue one besides them spending very little on promoting the film. I'm still looking forward to some "The mandalorian" and "clone wars" footage over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I expect nothing: it avoids disapointment. Anyway we have already hit the bottom with this episode: the useless admiral with pink hair, the sudden disappearance of Ackbar, the tax haven where they serve champagne, Chewbacca becoming vegetarian (next step: Chewbacca opening a truckfood for Porgs serving organic fair-trade stuff?), the big bunch of plot holes...
