Movies: Solo: A Star Wars Story | Part II

[ArGarBarGar]

two short scenes are the worst thing to happen to Star Wars? Sounds a bit hyperbolic

Boy do I love the mature discourse that comes out of discussing Star Wars.

 

[MadDevil]

The worst thing to happen to Star Wars wasn't even in the movies. It was the Expanded Universe after the New Jedi Order.

Sorry, I will leave you to your hypocrisy. I apologize for pointing it out

You do not sincerely believe that the scope of midichlorians and Anakin murdering children is in any way comparable to L3, do you?

 

[Randy Butternubs]

It's a rule on HF that all Star Wars threads must devolve into complaints and bickering about all of Star Wars, right?

 

[John Price]

I noticed that this movie is available on Netflix so I might give it a watch sometime.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

I would probably go:

1. Rogue One
2. The Force Awakens
3. Solo




4. The Last Jedi

Agreed on your list, although I'd probably make TFA and Solo tied for 2nd.


TLJ is the reason it took me until now to watch this movie. It just completely turned me off

the worst thing that happened to Star Wars was the Christmas special. I feel like it's not even debatable how bad that was.

 

[Brodeur]

Finally got around to watching it on Netflix. I guess my expectations were low, but I was entertained. Had its clunky moments for sure.

Sure, both are short scenes that have no impact after

Come on having Vader clomping around telling his officers to inspect households on Chewie's home world.

Chewie's fathers obvious porn addiction?

Bea Arthur

A really high Carrier Fisher

Mark wearing enough make up to believe in a makeup shotgun?

The Fett?

No it wasn't because it was irrelevent.

The worse things to happen to Star Wars were the Prequels, JJ, Rian & Disney.

More like all threads about everything must eventually devolve into complaints bickering about the topic of the thread.

 

[Osprey]

The Holiday Special was bad, but, if you didn't see it when it premiered on TV in 1978, then you probably didn't see it until the 2000s (when it became possible to find it online). By that point, it was too late for such a novelty to hurt our perception of Star Wars and, besides, we had already had the original trilogy desecrated with the Special Editions and been introduced to Jar Jar and a whiny Anakin. In fact, when I watched the Holiday Special, I felt more nostalgia than disgust, which I can't say for most things Star Wars in the last 20 years.

Can you imagine an internet without complaining?

 

[blueandgoldguy]

Nominee for worst thing to happen to Star Wars would be those 2 Ewok made for tv movies from the 80s.

 

[Jussi]

Can you imagine an internet without complaining?

Yes. The early 90's.

You did not just say that. I suddenly don't like you very much. Leave the Ewok movies alone!

 

[Nizdizzle]

Apparently I broke the thread when I just wanted to convey that I really, really didn't like L3.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Yes. The early 90's.

There has always been complaining on the internet

 

[Jussi]

There has always been complaining on the internet

Well there wasn't much people on the internet then.

 

[John Price]

It's on Netflix. Pretty good movie.

at first people me included were very cynical but if you actually see it it's not bad. I really liked it

 

[Baby Punisher]

This is pretty much exactly my thoughts after watching the movie a second time.

To expand my thoughts on the bolded, it just makes everything seem so small that in the entire galaxy you have like 2 degrees of separation between all these persons.

Maul leading organization that gets Han Solo career started and the boss of his love interest.
Maul Killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Obi-Wan Kenobi hires Han to fly them to Alderaan.
Han Solo funds the start of the Rebellion in his first job as a smuggler, which he later joins decades later.

To me, it just makes this massive Star Wars Universe seem so small since apparently every important character has been involved with the others in some way without even realizing it. I wish the producers would just be okay with making a unique backstory that doesn't have to intersect other characters.

L3 is the worst thing to happen to Star Wars ever, worse than Jar Jar Binks in my opinion. They need to stop trying to be culturally relevant with stuff like that. Its a science fantasy, and putting modern day issues (like the war profiteering Casino scene from TLJ) just takes me right out of the movie.

I'll say this in response to your comment. That is how the force works. It karma, fate, and destiny all rolled into one.

L3 compared to Jar Jar Binks is a good comparison. IMO Jar Jar Binks was an incomplete character that was re-written and abandoned out of fear of a fan rebellion. L3 served her purpose on and off screen. Part of what makes Star Wars so enjoyable is that the Droids are wacky.

 

[Baby Punisher]

Yes. The early 90's.

My biggest fight in the 90's and early 2000s on the internet was on the AOL sports message boards. There was one guy from Boston whose handle was "seekajob'' he trolled the Rangers board hard! But everything he predicted about the Bruins came to fruition. The guy drove us nuts, but he knew his hockey. I miss those days.
