Reacting to SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY (2018) | Movie Reaction

[@williambeckett6336]

Did you notice? The disguise Beckett was wearing on Kessel was the same one Lando wore at Jabbas palace in RoTJ. Meaning it was onboard the Falcon for decades.

[@TheWebcrafter]

22:22 - A handshake is NOT just two guys holding hands. A handshake signifies a 'promise' never to be broken.

[@joeconcepts5552]

Honestly, I never saw any problem with this movie. It was lighter, and not as epic as the other movies, but I thought it was a fun kind of “Adventures of Han and Chewie” story, and I still hope we see more. There’s no Solo 2 coming but they haven’t completely written off the idea of that previously announced Lando movie.

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

Glad you liked it. I think a lot of people don't like it because it's so different than the others. But that makes perfects sense actually. When we encounter Solo in the bar being asked to Ben and Luke away, he's nothing like those people. Again, as we say here in the Texas; Y'all be safe. Oh yeah it's one of those days where some of us are dodging tornadoes. But it's that time of year.

Never figured out the Kessel run in 12 parsecs thing. In all the other movies a parsec is a measurement of distance not time. I dunno.

[@scottneil1187]

Yeah, it was just meant to be a throwaway line that sounded cool, Lucas didn't put that much thought into it but obviously the modern generation had to pick holes and overanalyze things.

[@davemcbroom695]

@@scottneil1187 It's pretty cool George Lucas told you his motivations. He had to know nerds would scrutinize every word. Star Trek geeks happened a decade before, and they speak in Klingon.

[@greenmonsterprod]

In the original script, it's just a bit of impressive-sounding nonsense Han used to impress Luke & Ben (and Ben didn't buy it for a second). Later, after science guys complained, they retconned it to be used as a measure of distance. Now, we get the best of both worlds: it's properly used as distance, and it's Han lying to impress the ignorant.

There’s no way I’m buying that George had a backstory on the Falcon’s computer being in any way connected with an old droid of Lando’s.

[@edcliffe2988]

@@sean---the-other-one Ron Howard directed Solo, so I think he put that in there after the fact. I see it as a nice tip of the hat to a small factoid. Another such bit is when 3P0 tells Luke when they first meet that he's not very good at telling stories,. Then in return of the Jedi tells the entire saga to the Ewoks, and does so movingly as a demonstration of character development. So, probably not what Lucas had in mind, but something that Howard used to explain it.

[@sean---the-other-one]

@@edcliffe2988 Oh, absolutely. Definitely an Easter egg for the fans; I thought you were trying to assert that it was explaining why that piece of dialogue in Empire was there. I agree, it was an opportunity for Ron, nothing more.

[@shainewhite2781]

The original directors, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, were fired from the project, after 6 months of filming. They showed producer Kathleen Kennedy 90 minutes of footage, and after seeing the footage, she told them that their service was no longer required. Ron Howard was brought in to do 3 months of reshoots. The reason why tegy were fired is because that the original cut of the film looked more like a comedy than a serious action adventure movie.

[@sean---the-other-one]

I liked Solo, but I’d have loved to see Lord & Miller’s version of Solo.

[@BillTheScribe]

L3 was voiced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who wrote and starred in Fleabag. If you haven't seen it, it's worth a watch. It's 2 seasons of 10 episodes each. She also wrote Killing Eve, which ran for much longer. When she auditioned for L3, she didn't know what a droid was, so she just basically went in as herself. It seemed to work for her.

[@Muck006]

Nope ... nothing that woman does is "worth it".

[@only257]

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

L3 was the worst aspect of the movie, definitely brought the Waller-Bridge touch to the story.

[@swytchyglytch]

Beckett was played by Woody Harrelson. He's been in lots of things, my favorite being the Zombieland movies and the Now You See Me movies lol. This movie wasn't great, but honestly, it didn't have to be. A movie doesn't have to be "great" to still be interesting and informative. We got to see how Han met Chewie and Lando and got the Falcon and did the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs. It had enough good points that were pretty good to make it a decent enough movie. I might not go out of my way to watch it again, but if it came on TV and I wasn't watching something else, I'd flip to it.

[@rickmartinez3268]

Well that got dark 14:13

Forgot to mention in another post, if you do plan on watching Star Wars: The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett you should watch s1-s2 of the Mandalorian first, then the Book of Boba Fett (only one season), then you go back to s3-s4 of Mandalorian as their stories are intertwined.

[@manxdarcqpaw744]

I liked Solo. It would have been great to have had Harrison Ford, but he was far too old to play his younger self. They did what they had to do, and it was fine. Tobias Beckett's actor has been in a LOT of films. Some of them, as a psychopath, lol

[@Metzwerg74]

and he did not want to play Han Solo again...

[@greenmonsterprod]

I thought Alder Ehrenreich did a fine job as young Han. He may not look or sound like Harrison Ford, but he had the snark and the swagger down perfectly.

[@SpaceTed]

I still think, that in totality, this is the 2nd best Star Wars media from the recent "re-birth" after Fallen Order. It caught so much shit.

[@futuramayeah]

Dawn, in the office after Denyres, or Kira killed her boss, there was a set of Mandolorion armor, i thought there would be a sequel to this where Han meets Jabba, and Kira wears that armor, in the 1980s, there was a rumor that Boba Fett was a woman. and that would explain why they cared if Han died in the carbon freezing chamber. no normal bounty hunter would give two shits if a bounty died. that made me think they were a former aquaintaince of Han's or a jilted lover from his past. this movie sets it up as Kira being Boba Fett.

[@davidsalinas1628]

Solo was not one of my favorites but it was fun watching you watch it. P.S love the way you say monster

[@brandonmason388]

I like this one a fair amount but it’s not the best. My main reason for liking it as much as I do is it features Chewie prominently. He was always my favorite character but he doesn’t get much of a role in the other films. Han and Chewie meeting in this movie is probably my favorite scene in the whole franchise.

[@martyemmons1859]

It's not so much that I'm the only one that likes "Solo: A Star Wars Story" that bothers me. It's that everyone else is 'throwing shade' at it. There are so many storylines I like about "Solo". More than a few of the other movies. Still, I'm not going say it's better than any of the other Star Wars movies. I just prefer it more than some of the other movies.

[@SilentBob731]

I really don't get the hate for this movie. It's a fun, swashbuckling adventure...precisely what you'd expect from a Han Solo film. And here's a really unpopular opinion: it's better than Rogue One.

George Lucas wanted Harrison ford to play a Han Solo movie but Harrison said no

[@StinkyGreenBud]

Because Ford is not a huge fan of playing Han. One of his favorite roles is Indiana Jones. He told Disney he would do force awakens only if they would kill him off and that he could do another Indy film. Years later, we have another Indy film coming out.

Just a little bit lore luv, the blasters in Star Wars aren't lasers, they're plasma bolts. That scene where he's given the name Solo is still one of the most idiotic scenes commited to film. Must be getting big Dawn, you're starting to attract the telegram bots in your comment section. Also, the actor you're wondering about is Woody Harrelson, he's been in tons of films, I believe the film he 'played a long haired madman' you're thinking of is 2012.
