Solo a TLJ casualty....

I just watched Solo the other day and regrettably I think this movie is like the innocent person on the side walk minding their own business that gets seriously injured while a crazed mob is marching down the street with torches and pitch forks....Solo never had a chance. Before TLJ many, including myself, were saying I have zero interest in seeing a Solo origins movie. Then the Lord and Miller drama, then, the acting coach rumors, and to 80% reshoots rumors, then TLJ happened....but like I mentioned I just saw it and......I enjoyed it. L3 3T was irritating AF...I was glad to see "her" die. Donald Glover did fine as Lando, and I didn't think Ehrenreich was terrible. Woody Harrelson's character was so obviously gonna betray Han. For me the most interesting character was Emilia Clarke's Qi ra...that character has so much potential to add to the franchise! After watching Solo I wondered, what would Han have done if when he left Leia he bumped into Qi ra all those years later. My Fan boy spirit was reignited and I started to do the match and yeah Rey could be....and for that connective thread to be true it would make the ST just a bit better!
Solo isn't great but it was entertaining and there is some real impressive cinematography and there is potential to expand the Universe and flesh it out even more.
Oh and then there's the guest appearance by my favorite ex Sith. Now if you were totally perplexed by his appearance then you sir never watched TCW and SW Rebels and you sir are not a Star Wars fan, good day sir! But if you did recognize Sam Witwer's voice then congrats you are a fan!
All in all Solo is an enjoyable space adventure with Star Wars characters. Definately worth checking out post mortem....

Solo Trailer #2

The second trailer for Solo dropped last night and it's actually not bad! The sets in Solo look really good and fit into Star Wars 100X more than TLJ's Canto Bite. Donald Glover still seems to be the highlight of this movie but I need to admit Alden seemed better in this trailer especially the scene on the Falcon when Chewy tells him how old he is.
And I still want to believe Thandie Newton's character is really Sana even though IMDB says her name is Val.
We also see Chewie having a shared moment with another wookie! Did chewie have a significant other.
And Lando droid L3 seems very "annimated" I think L2 and K2SO would compliment each other very well!
We also get a peek at the infamous sabacc game where someone loses the Falcon "fair and square", which again Donald Glover absolutely nails Lando!

Like I've said plenty of times in the past I had zero interest in this movie, It just seemed completely unnecessary but this trailer has piqued my interest a bit.

Super Bowl Solo Trailer... too little too late?

With 110 days till release does this trailer alter anyone's intrest level for this? It wasn’t even a full trailer! What’s wrong with humanity where we need teaser trailers for a trailer?! That was a highly forgettable 45 seconds!
I found it quite interesting that one of the first lines in the trailer has an Imp saying "trust me, you'll love it".....blatant
I’ll edit this tomorrow after I see the full trailer.



OK so they dropped the full trailer minutes ago.....I dunno it didn't grab me..Woody's line about putting together a crew was clearly a way to connect to Han's line in TFA when he offers a Rey a job.
And did they just show Sana Calrissian/Solo???

Ehrenreich is no Ford.....






psst you're still here? Watch this instead...it's proabably better.

Solo A Missing Star Wars Trailer

Let me preface this post with with this...
I was never, ever, since it's announcement interested in this movie. In my humble opinion there's no need for it, I don't need to see Han win at sabbacc to take the Falcon from Lando, I don't need to see how Chewbacca and Han's bromance is formed, I don't need to see Han do the Kessel Run in 12 Parsecs, I still have some imagination left!

And after the Last Jedi's controversial run (I still want to see it a few more times before passing judgement) and less than stellar reception by fans and the general public coupled with the drama with Lord and Miller getting canned from the Solo movie, and the rumors about Alden Ehrenreich's acting abilities, and the rumors that 80% of the film had to be re shot when Ron Howard came on board....honestly shit ain't Rainbows and Unicorns for Disney/ Lucasfilm right now. Who's steering this ship? Steamboat Willy??
I don't understand why the internet is in such an uproar over this missing trailer, from all the shit I mentioned previously the chances of this movie being good isn't very good.
We'll most likely get the trailer in 10 days on Superbowl Sunday February 4th. So that' gives the interwebs 110 days to analyze and re analyze every frame of the trailer and come up with theories that will eventually let yourselves and everyone who bought your cool aid down a dark path of anger, hate and suffering!

Now where's my Kenobi movie! The Passion of the Kenobi!!!
