Solo: SW
« on: February 05, 2018, 01:23:32 PM »
Full trailer dropped this morning. Looks pretty good.

I hope I'm wrong, but I think the spin-off movies might end up being better than the new trilogy.  Is that merely a matter of expectations?

Early takes:
-Totally in for the Kessel Run and Donald Glover as Lando
-I think I'm really going to like the evolution of the Falcon
-I'm curious how much original EU backstory they will "re-canonize"
-I have concerns about Alden Enderich as Solo....on admittedly little evidence, I'm not sure he can pull off the Solo charm (though maybe he grows into it)
-I'm pretty sure I'm going to dislike the Qi'ra character

Movie has been doomed. Anything better than TPM will be better than expectations.

Pretty much this.  I expect some cool effects, Donald Glover to somehow pull off Lando, and little else.

In the trailer, supposedly what sucks you in, Alden Enderich was the weakest part.     I could imagine Ewan Mcgregor growing up and being the Alec Guinness Obi Wan Kenobi.     Alden seems too leprechaun-ish to grow up to be the roguish Harrison Ford Han Solo.

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

Major concern I have, they will have Solo "fight" the empire in this movie.....for the hero turn in ANH/OT to make sense he has to be an agnostic rogue(with the exception of Chewie).

Meh.... I'm withholding all commentary on movie trailers until Valentine's Day.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

This did a better job of making me want to see the movie than the original trailer.  8-)
