Saw it
|
Liked it! It was fun. I really have no major complaints about it tbh. There's definitely something to be said of expectations and hype. Mine couldn't have been much lower going into this so I was pleasantly surprised and came out of it really not mad that it existed at all
The tone was good, felt different enough. I liked that it was part heist movie kinda (would've liked more of a heisty vibe). Ron Howard has absolutely no unique directing style that I can think of but he did perfectly fine here, the action sequences were well directed
I can't hate on Alden Ehrenreich at all really. I thought he did his job well enough and any misfire was just a poorly written joke more often than not. He didn't bring a TON to it but he was good. I'd like to see him do it again with less pressure/better production so he can LET THAT HAIR DOWN a bit the second time. (I do still think Jack Reynor would've been great though)
Glover was great ofc, I loved him. I want more of him. Agreed Boc that Clarke was way less cringey that I thought she would be. I actually kinda liked her in this. Woody and Bettany were both good too. Didn't like the droid actually, I thought the EQUAL RIGHTS stuff was p forced but it was fine
Agreed that they ticked off a lot of boxes and maybe some were a bit forced but it's whatever, I can see why they'd wanna do that. I thought for sure we'd see Chewie get his bowcaster at some point which would've been a little goofy
And I'd also like another one which is probably the most surprising thing for me when I came out of it. I wouldn't say no to more Han/Chewie/Lando going on missions, seeing what happens with Qi'ra, getting Maul/Jabba/Fett involved. Maybe even Obi Wan at some point? It's sorta the Marvel approach, it's kinda fun here despite being mostly totally unnecessary. Everyone has been wanting an Obi Wan movie, a Boba Fett movie (which is now happening), and a Darth Maul movie so I can see them all happening and tying into each other around this time period if the timelines all work out
I heard there was a big scene where everyone GASPED so I've been super curious to see what it was. I figured it would have to be a cameo so the whole movie I kept thinking Darth Maul made the most sense and was waiting to see if I'd be right. I thought for sure that resistance leader was gonna be Maul when she took off her helmet, so when the Maul scene came I was pretty excited. I know you said it's random Boc but he's a huge part of the animated series from what I've seen (which is canon..I think?). He seems to tango with Obi Wan a whole lot in that so I would love an Ewan Obi movie on Tatooine with Darth Maul getting heavily involved, that'd be really cool
GOOD STUFF |

yay or nay? |

If you didn't like any of the turns TFA or TLJ took, you'll probably love it. |
What turns did TFA take? That movie was like the definition of safe (: | |

Killing Han. I've seen people say they didn't like it just cause he died, same with TLJ and Luke. |

Darth Maul showing up was shocking.
I liked it, though.
Han, Chewie and Lando moments were the best parts. |

Thought it was decent, didn't like most of the first half, liked the second half.
Might enjoy it more after a rewatch, idno.
|
The movie really picked up after they finished with all the nods to the OT and meh jokes.
Didn't hate any of the actors and as we all knew Gambino killed it.
I liked the robot, but not enough to give a fuck that it died.
I liked the tone a lot, like Curtis said, also liked the color scheme they used.
Han's definitely gonna be in the Obi Wan movie, and the bad guy is going to be Maul, they talked about Tatooine too much for it not to happen.

honestly just scrap Fett and put the Logan director on Obi Wan instead. That could be a great fit for him | |

I don’t think my expectations for this could be any lower.
Can we get a Chewy backstory movie instead? |
That I would actually watch. | |

Eh it was ok. Glad I had movie pass because I wouldn’t want to pay to see this.
|
so this is bugging me. How much older is Han than Leila? She isn’t born before Darth Maul is killed in episode 1 and Han is 20ish in this movie. What am I missing here? |

He WASN'T killed. This movie (rly the animated series) revealed that he survived. He has metal legs in his hologram here since he was cut in half at the waist |

So Star Wars is trying to beat Marvel on stupid death revivals. Thanks for the input. I was confused how this fit in. |

Saw this last night for the first time. Decent movie. Wasn't impressed with the Lando character at all. Liked the music. My lasting thought after watching it was I want to see a Qi'ra movie next. | |
