[@arthurvale5147]

90% of the comments are recommending the clone wars

[@Enixon869]

and the other 10% are scoffing and looking down their nose at the idea of the canon cartoons "counting" as canon

[@chronicguardian9684]

To be fair, Darth Maul surviving because he hated Obi-Wan a lot is admittedly pretty dumb once you think about it. Why would the destruction oriented dark side have life-sustaining powers? Either the wound was fatal or it wasn't.

[@rayfrompalmbay9656]

we need to get it to 95%

[@noahfortner2]

Chronic Guardian If Maul surviving is dumb then so is Vader surviving Mustafar. Star Wars is fantasy anyways haha

[@blackvial]

Fortner Films Hell surviving wounds that you shouldn't is one of the perks of being a dark side user. Vader and Maul aren't the only Sith to use the dark side like that, look up Darth Sion from Kotor 2

[@raptorus7773]

The Maul thing I knew several people who don't follow the show Clone Wars, and Rebels were going to be confused and reasonably lost (even though I was nerding out). Brief summary, he used his intense hatred of Obi Wan to channel the dark side to survive long enough to stowaway and get prosthetic legs. But yeah, I really like this movie, not my fav, but I like it

[@Gacko54]

it's stupid they made that decision.

[@1Maenad]

Thank you for explaining this. It's very strange that they would rely on plot points from an animated series for this big blockbuster movie.

[@emanuelmatos9102]

Gacko54 bruh

[@Gacko54]

Filoni could've stick with Maul's brother, reviving Maul is such a dumb idea.

[@misterwishart]

Coming in as a non-fanboy, I thought that part was actually the worst of the movie. I get there's a larger Cinematic Universe to build but there's a reason Marvel leave those bits until AFTER the credits, you know?

[@GeminiRosche]

0:45 funny story, Maul actually DOES have a brother. But he’s got yellow marks instead of red and his name is Savage Opress

[@Gab2671]

To all the people saying that they need to see Clone Wars to get the whole Maul thing, you do realise you shouldn’t have to watch a whole tv series or read books or comics to enjoy or get a plot choice in a movie. I don’t recall ever reading a book to like the OT, the prequels or even the sequels.

[@noahfortner2]

Gab2671 But here’s the thing, the spinoffs have set themselves up as cinematic versions of the EU. It would be a mistake for the Episodes to include Maul, but these movies can go deeper into the universe. Continuity isn’t a bad thing.

[@noahfortner2]

And Maul’s story is only covered in like 6 episodes, so not a whole show

[@animeguy10000000]

This movie literally proves the opposite.

[@JavierPerez-cx4jw]

Fortner Films Eh.... I love the Clone Wars and the Maul cameo really excited me, but I agree with Gab2671. Small references like Aurra Sings death are one thing but having a huge reveal like Maul at the end with no explanation is kinda messed up to those Fans who’ve never seen The Clone Wars or Rebels.

[@animeguy10000000]

Then maybe it will drive more people to watch those shows, and not complain on the Internet about it.

[@TheRosadochris]

You guys never seen Clone Wars or Rebels huh

[@Weeeeee711]

The Clone Wars imo is the OVERALL best part of Star Wars. I don't know why anyone wouldn't want to watch it.

[@tgiacin435]

Daniel Walton because they think it’s a kids show right off the bat. Which yeah they started as light hearted kids shows, but they take a dark turn after season 1. I was happy to actually hear dathomir get mentioned, and I hope was see it in live action

[@misterwishart]

They're both married :P

[@gungral2097]

This is why KK's star war is failing. The general movie fan wont know how he survive, they should of implemented Rebels cannon in the movies along time ago.

[@Lithaos111]

Thinking about this, this is honestly the first time it has made sense to mention him in the movies. He wasn't back yet in AotC (as he returned in the clone wars), and was imprisoned secretly by Palpatine before the events of RotS. Wouldn't make sense in Force Awakens or TLJ for obvious reasons, and Rogue One was busy with with its own thing which wouldn't involve Maul (aside from him having had his final duel with Obi Wan on Tattooine by that point). How is it the creators' fault if someone didn't watch either cartoon series (where he plays a decent part in both) or touched any of his comics which detail not only his part in the cartoons but also the inbetween Clone Wars and Rebels. Star Wars isn't so convoluted as Marvel and DC that no one can tell what is and isn't canon these days, if it has a legends tag its an old story, if not then its extremely likely canon.

[@sampiaggio9534]

I felt the surprise of the Enfys Nest reveal wasn't that she was a girl but that she was so young.

[@dragnipur4746]

If I remember correctly they stated that the reason the reveal was big was that she isn't Enfys Nest per say but her daughter. That's what caught Beckett off guard. He was expecting this other badass pirate he'd probably been running into for years while on jobs so she probably died in an altercation and the daughter took up the mantel.

[@questworldiangreenknight7455]

Dragnipur 47 oh! Hilariously I for once I didn’t see it coming that she was a girl!

[@ArcheoVariety]

Darth Maul's comeback in Clone Wars, and his death in Rebels are two of my favorite arcs in Star Wars History. He's a really interesting character, and both shows do a great job depicting him

[@strickencross88]

PLEASE watch Star Wars: The Clone Wars as a series like you did for Gravity Falls and Avatar: The Last Airbender. It explains how Darth Maul survives and makes the prequels SOOO much better! Anyone with me? Can we get Doug to do this?

[@JDobbsy79]

Haha. Nothing can change the fact that the prequels has bad characterization, bad dialogue, bad overuse of CGI and just a bad overall story arc.

[@deadtree598]

Jason Neil Are you joking? The Clone Wars series is the best part of the prequels!

[@darththeo]

Disney has literally stated there is a single canon now. They made Clone Wars canon to the movies. You failing to listen to Disney LITERALLY stating what you want is irrelevant, BaronVonBielski.

[@strickencross88]

Jason Neil True, but it makes you get to know the characters a lot better and improves them.

[@MNGN101]

+Max Kline Nah, I feel like Doug's not the type of person who would like the Clone Wars series. Clone Wars is for bigger fans of the Star Wars universe. Doug seems to prefer media that's a bit artsier with a more cohesive story, which CW certainly does not have. Even though Filoni worked on Avatar, his Star Wars stuff seems less polished, very experimental, often with a ton of filler.

[@zoetropearts4847]

Rob's Cartman impression is the best!

[@Jyn.Andors]

Maul dies like a year before A New Hope.... This film is set about 10 years before A New Hope... It makes sense that he's still alive to be in Solo. I don't even watch Clone Wars or Rebels and even I know that.

[@somthingbrutal]

i wouldn't call her a traitor she didn't give up solo to maul, i thought she was protecting him and her self by going back. as it's still basically a kids movie not surprised they didn't go into details over the bad stuff someone working for an organised crime group would have done to get to her current position. i did wonder if the woman that died in the bridge explosion might have been her mother

[@myriadmediamusings]

Dangnabit the beginning joke annoys me but I can't help but understand why they'd feel that way considering that the big Maul twist is something that's only explained and shown in the likes of the Clone Wars and Rebels TV series. I'm very happy that Lucasfilm is now really starting to make their canon much more connected with stuff like this, but at the same time, the standard audience that only watches the movies are either gonna be really confused, or make a bunch of jackass articles and the like that will give this movie shit for "reviving" Maul.

[@nolandavis1129]

To be fair I think the expanded universe are targeted for the hardcore Star Wars fans

[@daviddrouant2852]

I hope he shows up in Ep9 as the main guy

[@jfdrac]

Well the simple thing is was a cameo ala most Marvelk Post credit. So they figure either someone will explain or they will look it up...now the sequel they would have had to explian

[@noahwilliams2626]

You have to watch clone wars to know how maul survived but even without seeing it, it's still pretty common knowledge at this point. Like with boba fett, his survival wasn't shown on screen but we all know he lived.

[@Dorokill]

L-3 had a fantastic name drop while leading everyone to the Falcon She mentioned Black Rock Spire, which is the name of the outpost on Batuu that will soon be Star Wars Land for Disney parks

[@nickbernard7187]

I appreciate the Maul cameo if only for the increased relevance of The Clone Wars to the Star Wars canon.

[@Theunkownjoe]

I’ve been loving the reactions of everybody who doesn’t know how maul survived

[@liam04294]

Watch clone wars

[@chrisatherton7840]

Liam O'Leary and Rebels

[@Alatoic01]

My same reaction!! when i see darh Maul I was like:YES!!!, followed by a :what? how?....what?.

[@PACHIC]

#HanShotFirst

[@BLasherman]

This whole movie is a set up for that. Thank you Ron Howard.

[@oldmanmarleythesouthbendsh4638]

I always shoot my load first

[@cliffordshafran9250]

Well, he HAD to to survive!

[@TheJrbdog]

I was waiting the entire movie for Han to stutter and say "he shot first".

[@SirTyJensen]

"I am his twin brother Darth Raul", I was drinking and I chuckled.

[@Corcky54]

I'm really sad they missed a PERFECT opportunity to link the "I love you", "I know" line. When Qi'ra told him to go HE should have said "I love you" and SHE would say "I know". To be honest I 100% thought they were gonna say it.

[@StottOnTheDot]

Cory As many nods to the original trilogy as this movie had, they definitely missed a lot of golden opportunities.

[@Lithaos111]

That first minute made me cringe. Maul was established as alive years ago, mean yes, now its movie canon, but it was canon before through the two cartoons.

[@BridgeEntertainment2001]

Ryan Dawson Both cartoons were trash tho

[@Lithaos111]

Clone Wars was great, Rebels I will admit wasn't nearly as good, but as far as Star Wars goes it was decent, better than the prequels at least (and always loved the Thrawn character).

[@BridgeEntertainment2001]

Ryan Dawson Nah I grew up with Clone Wars and it was boring as fuck

[@misterwishart]

And? That's like saying "Oh, but the books" for Harry Potter; it's a surprise for the non-nerd and allows the nerd for feel smug for knowing it ahead of time.

[@Lithaos111]

Oh don't misunderstand, I was shocked when I saw Maul in the movie as I wasn't expecting him at all, in fact i was downright giddy and it makes me excited to see what they do next with him (whether its the Boba Fett movie, the Obi Wan movie, a Solo sequel, or eventually his own movie.) What made me cringe was them acting like it didn't make any sense in a Star Wars movie when Darth Vader was literally completely covered in 3rd degree burns, missing an arm and both legs and lived. Its established force users can survive some gnarly things especially when one is fueled by rage and the dark side.

[@fernandoperezjr5605]

Darth Maul return in Star Wars the Clone Wars which takes place between episodes 2 and 3

[@RedHeadKevin]

Great. Now I can't get that Darth Maul - Dr. Loveless mashup out of my head. Thanks.

[@Crimson_Snake1]

Uh, Doug. Did you never watch Clone Wars? Maul's survival was revealed there too.

[@thomashall6733]

they could've at least explained in the movie what happened to him, but no.

[@Crimson_Snake1]

Thomas Hall You can’t rely on the movie itself to explain everything. It would take too much time.

[@thomashall6733]

if it would take too much time to explain, why include him?

[@Crimson_Snake1]

Thomas Hall Cause he's Darth freaking Maul that's why.

[@thomashall6733]

Gotta say, Maul's probably my least favourite villain in all of Star Wars. But personal opinions aside, he's in a Han Solo movie. something about that doesn't make sense. it's like if Thanos made an appearance in the first captain America movie

[@ZagLineGaming]

Maul has been alive for several years. On the Clone Wars cartoon there was a whole arc that explained how he survived. Basically he has robot legs.

[@jackntheboxproductions6793]

Well, this is before rebels. So we know he hasn't gone to Tatooine to kill Kenobi

[@frosty2480]

Jack'n the box Productions or so he thinks he'll kill Kenobi

[@ryanjamesbarr1465]

Not only was Maul brought back in Clone Wars (and Rebels) he does in fact have robotic legs

[@Nuggtendo]

Your Dad's a nice guy! I met him when you were in Colorado Springs

[@benwillis5840]

"Even the movie where you first see Jabba there's too much Jabba" Is that Return of the Jedi, A New Hope or The Phantom Menace?

[@sikid4000]

You guys are behind huh? Maul has been back since like... 2012.

[@ITSMeatMan]

Ha! He does actually have a twin brother named savage oppress

[@The_Alt_Vault]

yeah Maul survived it gets reviled in the Clone wars you should watch it, it's a great show

[@coolryanfilms7396]

I liked it

[@Lightscribe225]

The 3rd act was one confusing Reacharound Betrayal Clusterfuck. Basically "Ha! I knew you were going to know about my double cross and would attempt to double cross me double crossing you double crossing me, so I planned ahead to double cross your double crossing me double crossing you doubkecrossing me soible crossing you!" And then "No one double crosses Maul! Except for sometimes".

[@batspam1013]

WATCH CLONE WARS!!!!!!!! It explains how he lived!

[@0bl1vi02]

They're totally setting up for a Maul film aren't they? I mean the whole purpose of his cameo in Solo was to show the people who didn't watch the TV shows that he was alive and then set up to tell a whole new story with him. A lot of his story is covered by Clone Wars and Rebels but there's still a lot about him that we still don't know. For example, we don't know what happened to him between the events of the two series.

[@noahfortner2]

Colin McKay I’d love to see that. Ray Park and Sam Witwer are amazing

[@coltafanan]

Still waiting for the Maul movie

[@AceSpadeThePikachu]

Yeah you guys clearly never watched Clone Wars or Rebels. XD

[@Kaito-1412.]

After Maul was defeated in the clone wars, Sidious said he had plans for Maul. Apparently it seems he put him in charge of a big crime syndicate that has close ties with the empire. This means that the emperor can control both the empire and the dark crime world

[@SweenyTodd98]

I'm going to go ahead and say that Chewie didn't attack Beckett in the elevator because he was holding highly explosive material and didn't want to set it off accidentally.

[@joselinvalle6219]

You two are my top pick for watching the clone wars/rebels. It fills in gaps and provides some nice content to get into when there’s nothing better to watch. I know Doug has talked about wanting to see new and exciting things about the mythos in Star Wars, and believe me when I say you will get that from these shows. Please please please do a series!

[@dumbot12]

Maul does have robo legs in that scene.

[@snips8112]

Y'all never saw the Clone Wars

[@Revan-eb1wb]

and it shouldnt be a must for the movie. if you have to watch another show to get an important part of the story or a chracter than the movie fails

[@TheKoiFish]

Well, it's well known that Clone Wars is in fact canon. And I disagree that the movie fails for that reason. Does Infinity War fail because you had to watch the other 19 movies or whatever to get the important parts of the story?

[@randomawsomedude]

Revan 1313 I like it, it brings up questions

[@clickycal]

@@TheKoiFish movies are movies. Not shows. You don't have to watcg all the marvel shows to know the movies.

[@TheKoiFish]

@@clickycal Because they aren't canon. But you do have to watch all the movies to understand Infinity War. Should Infinity War fail because of that? Or what about Avatar, and Zuko's mom? Is Avatar a crappy show because you have to read books to know where Zuko's mom is?

[@ninjagirl226]

The Star Wars shows were better than this movie.

[@trucetruce335]

Truth

[@brickbossbennett633]

Guys so Darth maul lived with all his hatred fueling him and went on to get on to get robotic legs and that’s why he has legs. But he did have a brother but instead of red in the markings To was yellow. Hope that cleared it up

[@FanCreationsPropShop]

I’m not too crazy about the Sabbac Dice origins. Han was so starry eyed and eager to get his own ship, and travel the galaxy. So when The Millennium falcon becomes that ship, he holds it in high sentimental regard. The Sabbac Dice he used to win the falcon from lando, are supposed to hold the same sentimental value which is why when luke hands them to Leia, it’s a significant moment with a deep emotional connection to Han. But it was like “what these dice? Ah I’ve had them for ages, my old speeder had em hanging from the rear view mirror so I was like, hey I’ll hang em in my new, ish ship.” Which for me kind of, for want of a better word, dulls that moment of mourning from Leia in The Last Jedi, from oh yeah, Han died. To, oh, these dice meant so much to Han, just like his beloved falcon. Damn I miss him! It just seems like they missed a great opportunity to incorporate the Sabbac dice into the game of Sabbac that he won the falcon with, and have them be the dice he hangs from the falcon console. This for me was one of the only things I took real issue with. Overall I loved the Movie.

[@dknighton100]

Watch the clone wars doug

[@ConspireOfficial]

something something rebels something something clone wars

[@bobafett7230]

This is why I did not like the Maul thing, even though I know why he is alive from the Clone Wars show the movie going crowd is going to be so confused.

[@midnightmatter2028]

I do love how Rob's "ACSHUALLY" is the actual reason he's alive...

[@matthewjh138]

It was a stablished a long time ago in The Colne Wars that Darth Maul survived it really isn't anything new.

[@VicenteTorresAliasVits]

Since I haven't seen any STAR WARS TV movie or show aside from CLONE WARS (2003), I didn't about MAUL's survival. That made the surprise bigger for me, which I think is positive. By the way, did you notice that they played a part of DUEL OF THE FATES during his scene? It was a nice touch.

[@JitteryJackanape]

All this means is that we could end up getting a Darth Maul vs Obi Wan rematch on Tattooine like in Rebels.

[@IvanTheGhostboy]

I'm pretty sure fans who didn't see Clone Wars would have at least heard about Darth Maul coming back

[@JV4LONGONG]

Yeah even before I watched clone wars I knew Darth maul was alive

[@spencerm5663]

PLEASE WATCH THE CLONE WARS. PLEASE

[@DarkVaati13]

They joke about attaching a hover chair to Maul's torso, but thats exactly what Maw did.

[@Drakonous]

Here is your mission if you choose to accept it. Watch Clone Wars and do vlogs similar to Avatar.

[@ivy5694]

I went to go see solo but got up to go the toilet and could not remember where I was sat when I came back and I felt too bad just standing in the back of the cinema so I only listened to the movie from outside the door. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

[@PowerMetalHead2]

But Doug, Rob, you guys are forgetting one thing....DARTH MAUL'S IN THE MOVIE! Darth Maul: "Hello" (walks of)

[@michaelramsey1299]

What I was expecting/hoping from this movie was something along the lines of Han maybe trying to join a crime syndicate to survive. He would cheat, steal, and scam his way through the universe then in the third act he’d be asked to do something truly evil and he’d realize he has some standards and somethings he’s not willing to do so he’d betray them and strike out on his own with Chewie making a life in the grays of life. That way we’d see the scoundrel and rogue side of him but see the spark of the hero he’d eventually become.

[@GravityFactor]

Most of these comments are going to be like this; “Did you even watch Clone Wars?! Of course Maul is alive!!”

[@Rogueleader17]

Having seen the clone wars and rebels, I found the choice very odd. I was expecting a big cameo but showing Darth maul causes confusion to anyone who weren't dedicated enough to watch the cartoon. If they want to use him I think it needed at least the minimal exposition to help people grasp how he survived a fall down a huge hole while being cut in half, then got out and showed up in this movie with robotic legs.

[@matterbach6200]

Can't say i care that Woody never tell's Han "dont get cocky" while ruffling his hair and handing him a blaster, then give's him a pair of pants with a red stripe... Not everything needs to relate to random lines from the OT

[@langleymneely]

Clone Wars, Rebels, that is all. Lol

[@Nikolapoleon]

Yes, audiences first discovered that Darth Maul survived in the Clone Wars cartoon. That's true. It didn't make any sense then, and it doesn't make any sense now.

[@awesomeas2]

Montpelier Montgomery ever hear of Darth sion?

[@noahfortner2]

But Anakin getting all his limbs chopped off and burning on Mustafar made sense ;))

[@aidangilbert8599]

Might not make sense but the stories they managed to make by bringing him abck more then make up for it imo

[@blackvial]

GamermanRPGKing oh hell yeah, that bastard was a pain to put down

[@josephperez2004]

I actually did sort of like the fact this was on a smaller scale than Empire vs. Rebellion. One thing I noticed in the first Crimson Dawn casino scene, there were a number of (Imperial?) officers there and that confused me for a bit but then it made sense when it was just outright said "Yeah, Crimson Dawn works with the Empire". Because the Empire using or working with criminal syndicates isn't big news. In Shadows of the Empire (a video game that came out even before the prequels), the crimelord of the Black Sun, Prince Xizor, is jockeying for position as a favored servant of the Emperor. Now, the Empire doesn't work with all criminals, just the ones that it finds some use for and which might be too big of an obstacle to easily remove. Big, organized syndicates can often make a profitable deal with the Empire even if it's as simple as the syndicate just keeping their crimes against non-Imperial targets and the Empire looking the other way.

[@georgeowain]

I honestly thought it was Snoke who appeared at the end before it revealed to be Maul. And this was just Disney trying to give back story to a character they killed off in TLJ.

[@sullivanbard]

I didn't watch the Clone Wars or Rebels series, but Maul surviving from being cut in half in Phantom Menace, at first, I wondered how is this possible as it's another Star Wars story prequel to A New Hope? But on my second viewing, I noticed the robotic legs in his hologram and I got it. Also, I had my predictions of how this movie would go and I did expect Lando and Han to meet and Han winning the Falcon. But I was expecting for the movie to end at the Mos Esley cantina where Han and Chewie met Obi-Wan and Luke, but that didn't happen. Everything else I didn't come to realize, but I liked the film and got some enjoyment out of it, even if a couple of things were predictable and all over the place. Still, Rouge One's better, but this is entertaining enough.

[@RedHeadKevin]

I think I heard a throwaway line in the voiceover at the beginning how Han was running scams and playing sabaac.

[@SIR1U5]

yea.. like no star wars fan watched this film in theatres, after watching all the animated series and movies who knew long before the ending of Solo...

[@indigocaholm3719]

We had that reaction with the girl reveal. I think that she is supposed to be a native of the planet and that's the big reveal... But it was still super unclear.

[@FletcherReedsRandomness]

That's why you don't add major plot points tied to other media (cough cough Kingdom Hearts). Even if you watched The Clone Wars and Rebels, it still doesn't really add up, since nothing in either show connected to Maul's appearance here.

[@tyleryoung3484]

I'm gonna see it tomorrow, can't wait. And Doug got a shave, looks good on him

[@mutsortima174]

This movie is better than the infamous "Han shot first" scene in general.

[@LoadedEmu97]

The pair of you need to watch Clone Wars for context in regarding this Maul cameo. Saves you both looking ignorant. Either way, they handled this Maul cameo the best they possibly could for a movie audience. Obvious robotic legs, old as fuck, so if this was Maul's first appearance since Episode 1 then I'd still buy the fact that he survived. But for those that have known Maul was alive this whole time, no doubt this cameo was insane. I know for a fact I was speechless.

[@robertrigopoulos1444]

STAR WARS REBELS

[@starwars15500]

Solo was really good imo. Loved the asteroid music from Empire. :D

[@stapuft]

LOLING at cyborg leg comment, apparently they haven't seen clone wars or rebels.

[@zimstinka]

Darth Maul? You mean material from the prequels now suddenly is good enough for the fan-base? Funny how standards changed Mmmmkay :p

[@Imanoth]

Even with all the hate toward the prequels everybody usually agreed that the lightsaber duel against Darth Maul was the best thing about the Phantom Menace

[@zimstinka]

Yeah, but I was lead to believe that's as being a Top Student in a special needs school.

[@Imanoth]

The narrator on that series was great

[@rhodriwilliams2599]

Everyone always liked death maul I thought, if it was dooku it wouldn’t be as big a reaction

[@josephperez2004]

Rhodri, and sadly the more we saw of General Grievous, the worse he got. He was so awesome in the miniseries, then they dropped him hard.

[@16bitbrontosaurus35]

1:01 rob does an impression of a South Park character

[@bright9886]

Of course they never watched the clone wars guys. Even as someone who has watched it my first reaction was "are you fucking kidding me?" Most people are casual star wars fans and the only way for the average movie goer to understand this fucking cameo is to to watch some obscure spin off cartoon not even making any new episodes. Why the hell would a casual audience be expected to understand this, because its not explained in the film and the actual explanation is spin off material that's never been brought up in the films or had an impact on them.

[@augustrempelewert4377]

I didn't think the twist with Enfys Nest was supposed to be because she was a girl. That wasn't surprising. I was surprised when she took off her mask because a) she was an ordinary-looking human, and something in the back of my mind assumes that any character in a series with this many alien species who wears a mask all of the time is either a non-human or a human with some sort of distinctive feature or deformity, and b) she was a rather young-looking human, and I would expect any terrorist/bandit/whatever with as frightening of a reputation as she has to have more years under her belt.

[@Luvinlfe]

They showed that he had metal legs. Just saying.

[@Double-R-Nothing]

First Doug’s hair, now his beard?!

[@MTJDisorder]

My summary of this film is this: It's fun entertaining and well made considering the issues it faced in development. But then pretty much what you guys discussed at 15:40, It does nothing for the character of Han Solo. Between Star Wars and The Force Awakens his arc is not only complete but it's so incredibly satisfying that nothing more was necessary. It would have been better if Han was straight up a no lessons learned Pre-New Hope version of himself for the entirety of the film. The "you're the good guy" line was the final paper cut.

[@JackCaliber]

Comments in a nutshell: "You guys are dumb for trying to enjoy a movie without watching six seasons of animated supplemental material that the movie gave no indication was required."

[@wi7892]

In the clone wars he got robot legs and you meet his apprentice.

[@RedHeadKevin]

In regards to Chewie pussing out. First, he had a gun pointed at him, with lethal intent. He would have been killed. Two: He was biding his time. Chewie's no dummy. He knew he had backup at the camp, so he was leading Beckett into that ambush. Three: he was going to have to carry the fuel back anyway, so leading Beckett there was killing two birds with one trip. Also, once he had the fuel, he was basically carrying two giant bombs, so too much jostling wouldn't be a great idea. Nor would getting them shot. Chewie was also a war hero. Remember, he was with Yoda and the Wookiee Generals at the Battle of Kashyyyk. My question is why they didn't pile at least those Wookiees into the Falcon.

To be honest, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, I really think this movie is for hardcore Star Wars fans. So many references to legends and as you showed most people didn't get the darth maul thing.

Maul survive in The clone wars and Rebles cartoon they explain in The show how he survive

[@jordanmelven]

Watch Clone Wars and Rebels, guys. All will be made clear how Darth Maul is still alive and back.

[@zulubunsen9067]

Holy shit, I just got it from you two: if the Falcon would have been sucked into the vortex and spat out on the other side of the galaxy, that would have made a much better explanation for the whole "under 12 parsecs" stuff than the one we got.

The Jon Favreau character should have opened the cantina with Bea Arthur as the bartender in the holiday special. EPIC.!!!!!

I just want to say I met the Rob dude on the street. Just wanted to say hi and let him know how much I like their videos and chat for 15 seconds. One of the most smug acting people I've ever met in my life. Pretended to check his watch and pass me along after literally 5 seconds. To be honest his attitude always came across in the videos. These guys need to humble themselves a bit and stop thinking they are celebs. I can't imagine not being friendly to someone supporting my channel. I understand if someone was being obnoxious but dude had an additude from hello.

[@andresacosta7885]

Maul = Snoke. I’m sorry that sounds stupid, but their voices are SO similar! And why would they reveal him leading to nothing? Besides, the way they both “died”? Star Wars is like poetry, it rhymes

[@quake1650]

I expected Han to shoot that crime boss in the head (since Woody Harrison is in here and he was in Zombieland and yada,yada,yada)

[@matterbach6200]

The movie felt more like the dilapidated, late 70's style world of Star Wars than the new trilogy does imo. Yeah It had lower stakes, and was a tad slow at the end, but i was pleasantly suprised after all the whining and bad press. It had the spirit, it was fun, Han felt like Han, and thats what counts to me.

[@Lightscribe225]

Matt Erbach I don't know anout the third act. Han suddenly dropping everything to help someome free of charge doesn't seem like the Han Luke has to convince to save Leia. You can say at that time he had debta to pay, but he had debts to pay in this one too but it didn't stop him from throwing away a huge score.

[@RandomMarcus92]

I'm guessing you never saw the Maul saga part of Clone Wars.
