Han Solo Review

[DallasEast]

disney has pretty much hijacked what many fans considered an "unfinished" story with 7-9 needing to wrap up 1-6. instead of finishing it, 7 was a replay of 4 but PC now, 8 was a slam on men in general and keeping them in their place and to top it off, they pretty much said in the movie and through their actions they're burning down the past and starting things new.

i viewed it, for good or bad, as a "bugger off" to the established fan base as they were starting all over. by all accounts it seems that they expected the same success to happen again and it isn't. now that we have rogue 1 (which tied in nicely when done to movie 4) and then SOLO it's pretty apparent all they want is to sell sell sell, history or the past story lines matter not.

7 and 8 were waste of movies to me and really went nowhere, setup nothing and gave nothing to really remember a few months later. i'll watch solo when it comes on my TV but i've got no use for disney or the series at this point anymore.

I gave The Force Awakens relatively high marks. It was a revival of the franchise that I liked. The Last Jedi? That was a letdown.

There were things about TLJ that bothered me a lot. For example, Luke should now be this super experienced Jedi Master literally SOAKED in The Force. Understandably, Luke shut himself off from The Force in order to remain hidden from Kylo. However, his awareness should have grown enormously despite the self-limitation he placed on himself. So here is a big crack upside my head:

Kylo, Luke's nephew, a Force sensitive, kills his father Han, who he had an unbreakable bond with for decades--and who is incidentally married to his sister, Leia, who is another Force sensitive (although not at Luke's level).

Does Luke sense Han's death? Nope. No small tremor in The Force for Anakin Jr. Just him finding out the old-fashioned way like non-Force sensitives and crying, "Where's Han? What happened to Han??" WELL, DON'T YOU <BLEEPING> KNOW ALREADY???????

That still bothers me.

My WHAT THE BLANK moments
What bothers me on TLJ was Princess Leia gets blown out of the spaceship exploding and floats through space like Mary Poppins and she doesn't get frozen solid or suffocate in Outer Space and she floats to another spaceship and survives.

Luke trains Rai and he senses the Darkside in her and is concerned. She does a handstand and that's OK, Rai's training is done and now a Jedi .

Who is Rai? Do you mean Rey the female lead in TFA and TLJ?

I have hated in the past "The Force Awakens" & "The Last Jedi" but the prequels have been good "Rogue One' impressed me and also "Han Solo" did. I was ready to slam "Han Solo" but I think they did a very good job. Solo is worth watching and I believe the low box office attendance is because of the 2 movies that I hated above probably have put a bitter taste in fans mouth. Solo I give a solid A- to B+.

I have come to the conclusion that the movies with Rai,Finn,and the bad guy with the huge honker for a nose are the reason for the fans decline. They are terrible actors and the PC crap is just annoying for storylines. They finally have the bright idea to put in an Asian Female and I love beautiful Asian Females and they gave us a Asian Female who has the body of an Ewok. So many beautiful females they could have chosen. Kelly Hu, Brenda Song, Kaitlyn Wong,Nicole Bilderbach, Vanessa Minnillo,etc. and we get the stunt double for Yoda.

Finn makes the droids look human

Rai's only emotion is to smile like a ditz

Kylo Ren doesn't need a death cannon for the Deathstar .All he needs to do is blow his nose. That sucker is huge!!!



OK Han Solo is good and worth watching. My 2 cents,but gotta throw my slam to those stinkbomb other movies.

It wasn't very good. Star Wars is suffering because they took the EU and made it into Legends and then decided to make up their own Canon. Their Canon stories are weak and nothing compared to what was written about in the EU. The Solo movie was predictable and the characters weren't really developed well. Emilia Clarke's character was the worst as they really didn't say a whole lot about her and hinted at to what was going on. Maybe I am still annoyed at Disney dropping Thrawn's character of the Earth (He might have been a better Story than Vader) and the potential movie's that could have involved all three Solo kids; plus Luke's.

Well I'm going to see it tonight.

 

[zerofill]

When it came to the previous prequels... I wish they would have actually made Revenge of the Sith into 2 movies. I actually liked that one. But the change in Anakin was just too short, because of fitting it into one movie. Even though the previous one, with the sand people was meant to push towards the change, it just felt like the overall change was rushed to fit into one movie.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I thought it was a pretty good movie once you get used to Han not being Harrison Ford. That does take some getting used to.

I went into the sequel remembering that final scene from TFA, seeing the fateful meeting of Luke and Rey. It reminded me of Luke’s joining Yoda on Dagobah in TESB, where his true Jedi training began. Like you, I was NOT happy with Luke’s tutelage of Rey—and ‘not happy’ is an understatement.

Even though many fans had issues with the Mary Poppins ( ) scene, I loved it. All Force users have essentially the same abilities but individuals generally have some slight variation that is unique to them as well. Add the fact that I had been waiting DECADES since ROTJ to witness Anakin’s other child demonstrate Force abilities. While others groaned, I was yelling YES!

You seem to be hung up on the actors physical appearances. Adam Driver is a very good actor.

He was given practically nothing to work with. He made the most laughable villain because of it.

 

[Longboysfan]

The whole Star Wars thing has been played out.

Yes. Too many films.

Lucas sold at the right time.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Yes. Too many films.

Lucas sold at the right time.

TLJ made over $400 million in profit. TFA made over $780 million.

I enjoyed it.

It was a bit weird seeing Hans Solo in his 20s (so fully grown) being portrayed by a short guy. Superficial, I know, but it seemed a bit odd. Woody Harrelson seemed to tower over him.

Emilia Clarke is always pretty--so used to seeing her in her Game of Throwns white blonde hair.

Anyway, more importantly, I enjoyed the story line and the characters.
Entertaining

 

[Kevinicus]

I have a lot of issues with TLJ, but I think I would still put it above Solo. TFA and Rogue One would be way above both (and the real prequels).

 

[iceberg]

Who is Rai? Do you mean Rey the female lead in TFA and TLJ?

no this is a whole new jedi. please keep up.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Star Trek is better...

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Star Trek is better...

Their box office success doesn't say so.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Their box office success doesn't say so.

I'm a huge fan of both, but Star Trek has 31 season and 14 movies and somewhere around 800 hours of content.

You put me on a desert island for the rest of my life and ask me to choose which one I want. Star Wars with it's what 22 maybe 23 hours of content has no chance in hell.

Only talking about movie box office success.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Solo got no Jedi powers yawn....might as well make a movie about Admiral Ackbar

They need to make movies about young Yoda or other cool stuffzzz
