SOLO SPOILERS AND HOW DISNEY CAN FIX STAR WARS

[@MrKrk221988]

Martin is totally right about the writing in these movies. I don't understand why people put so much stock into this franchise that keeps getting made just to fuel nostalgia and sell merchandise.

[@Anthonycheesman33]

Kevin King what franchise doesn't do that bond and jurrasic park have done that for decades people say nostalgia like its a dirty word lol

[@MrKrk221988]

anthony cheesman True. But for some reason, Star Wars is put on this pedestal. People freaking out that The Last Jedi "ruined" Star Wars. Do they not remember that The Holiday Special came out one year after A New Hope?

[@austinneveau9387]

@Kevin King isn't anything with a strong nostalgic tie put on a pedestal? and there's more to the star wars lore than the original trilogy and prequels. you know there's novelizations of star wars right lol

[@antoniobudelecan6077]

Did anyone notice Girts in the background?

[@shahidmirza1138]

Antonio Budelecan yes

[@stuartkeating6508]

Everyone did

[@clearspira]

That new career of his is working out well then lol.

[@Chenso2099]

Is he sippin his drink? Lol

[@TheWuCepticon1981]

lol yup

[@sagelion5279]

The whole talk about the aliens is one thing I personally really liked about the prequels. Especially in Attack of the Clones, I felt they got the right "feeling" for the cg aliens. They felt as organic as the live actors. Like the scene on Kamino when Obi-Wan meets Taun We and Lama Su or the Geonosians and their fight pit creatures...and I'll always have a soft spot for Sebulba from Phantom Menace -- I really just loved the all-around look, feel, voices/sounds, and treatment of the aliens from the prequel movies.

[@breedlove94]

THANK YOU Martin for saying the elephant in the room. The dialogue in Star Wars films has always been corny. I've found that's been one of the more consistent complaints among Star Wars fans for the new films. I'm like "You need to revisit the OT

[@MrEherndon5]

Robert .Breedlove yeah true

[@NewGuy2534]

Yes the dialogue is cheesy, but it’s cheese that has aged well. The comradery and acting from the original trio is what helps it to be memorable. This “trio” has no connection to each other (unless you count the Finn bridge) and besides John, everyone else is wooden or shouting.

[@creed8712]

Robert .Breedlove so....a b-movie film had cheesy dialogue......what’s this blockbuster movies excuse for it exactly, i’ll wait for an answer

[@KingOfMadCows]

I think the difference is that the dialogue in the OT seemed more genuine. It's the kind of cheesy jokes you make with your friends. The newer movies are making those jokes towards the audience.

[@Kaydark]

Not just the new films the old film have the same problems. Star Wars fans have nostalgia glass on. Star Wars fans give these movies passes that they would not give any other movie.

[@paulmccloud9395]

How about a stretch of creativity and imagination and do a movie or series that has zero attachment to previous characters, locations or timeline? Nah, that's too hard, let's do a film about Han Solo, then Lando, then Boba Fett, then Obi-Wan, then maybe a Chewie movie after that, oh I know how let's do a romance with Finn and Rose, the fans will love that!

[@1Maenad]

Paul McCloud I really wish that they leave the original characters alone. Prequels are not interesting.

[@thema1998]

Paul McCloud The Finn and Rose part had me dying. 😂

[@Anthonycheesman33]

Better call Saul is a prequel godfather 2 was a prequel lol

[@MrEherndon5]

Paul McCloud that's been my beef with star wars my whole life but I did watch the animated series and they intro some new characters but it was still largely based on the original characters. I agree in a whole Galaxy I don't need to only see the same people with the same battle. Newness is important.

[@mariobadia4553]

Paul McCloud People actually want a boba fett and obi wan movie.

[@THEremiXFACTOR]

I agree with Korey about Rogue One. It has faults of course, but so do all these new SW films. At least Rogue One had some great action sequences and a dramatic ending.

[@MrEherndon5]

THEremiXFACTOR the old ones have faults too. But it was new and fun. Rogue one was decent.

[@westsonrises]

I really like Rogue One. I've never understood the hate for it. The pacing could've been better for it but it might just be I'm just looking forward to act 3 which I think was/is amazing

[@CymruJedi]

Martin would have been a better Lando IMO

[@krystianmoralesify]

Starkiller100 hello senpai

[@ProjectDelta1]

Starkiller100 Cat daddy playing himself!

[@Psychoclaw]

Whenever Martin really starts laughing, I gain a year to my life

[@retrograveproductions4175]

i think the reason why SOLO is generic as it is because we have already seen the better version of a Han Solo story, Guardians of the Galaxy

[@lamech006]

Wasted The Series This. All day. Perhaps this testifies to what an amazing achievement GotG1 was.

[@retrograveproductions4175]

well, i dont think it is amazing, it was a fun movie but GotG1 was basically Star Wars except Han was the main character instead of the supporting role. They are all smugglers

[@SwaggerLikeUz]

Without Han Solo & Chewy. Yoda, Greedo, Jabba The Hutt, R2 D2, & C3PO. There would be no Guardians of the Galaxy, nor an MCU.

[@YourMarvelFan]

SwaggerLikeUz You do realize the Guardians characters existed in comics before Star Wars ever came out right ?

[@retrograveproductions4175]

without Flash Gordon , John Wayne, John Carter of Barsoom there would be no Han Solo, Chewie, Yoda, Greedo, Jabba The Hutt, R2 D2 & C3PO or Star Wars universe. Everything begets another. this fact has nothing to do with how Gunn structured his first Guardians film.

[@shepherdstar14]

I don’t feel like Star Wars is Star Wars anymore.

[@negavenom]

I get you. It makes me wonder why the marvel movies under disney is treated better than star wars.

[@rhetro777]

These new SW movies are like watching a shitty cover band try to play the Beatles.

[@biguy617]

subject18blueknight That happened after George Lucas started messing with the original trilogy and the making of the stupid Ewok films. That was the moment when George Lucas sold out. You fan boys hate the direction Disney is taking it here is e solution, STOP GOING TO THE MOVIES!! You whiny brats! Right now the best new Star Wars material is Star Wars Rebels. That animated series is great. Go to film school yourself. Learn how to become a director or screenwriter and make your own Star Wars movies.

[@vertical_blur4809]

star wars rebels is trash, the clone wars animated series was so much better.

[@houseoftoussaint9609]

The Clone Wars the animated series blows, Clone Wars 2003 is the best of all.

[@GorTheMovieGod]

WAIT A MINUTE!? Girts is in the background and NOT on the actual show. What even are you doing!? Bring that boy up!

[@luistorres6956]

What happen to girts? Im new here but i like how he spoke. No bs lol

[@DoodleThis]

Somehow Kathleen found a way to make tired and not care about Star Wars

[@stephenthomas2733]

Expand the galaxy with more characters. If this is a "galaxy" like they always say it is, we need to see different factions, Jedi, and Sith that don't connect to the Skywalker story line.

[@RoddyRodbb]

But has Danielle paid Korey his money yet??

[@tashaem1]

[@dbzking02]

THANK YOU, MARTIN! Jeez, he said what I've been saying for a while! People act like the Original Trilogy was the end-all-be-all of fantasy/sci-fi movies, but this entire franchise was ALWAYS kinda in the middle.

[@coffeebeans5460]

Do I see Grits back there?

[@thema1998]

[@MrStrawberryfields4]

[@joeb.6904]

John Trowbridge .yes..those legs tho

[@rezasarandongard7805]

At least we know that after Rian Johnson tried loads of different ideas in the Last Jedi, JJ Abrams is just going to play it safe for episode 9 and make it a lazy rehash of one of the previous films.

[@avonbarksdale91]

David Prichard I bet he doesn't, TFA was the first new OT story after almost 40 years so I could see him and Lucas wanting to do a movie that Bridged the the old and young generation together. And that's exactly what that movie did. Of course I could've did without Star killer base lol. One thing I know JJ will do in this one is what was left out of TLJ that he set up at the end of TFA like The Knights of Ren.

[@mrhopadopalus]

The thing is rian did a shit ton of rehashing in the last Jedi anyway. It has the same ending as empire strikes back. The villain tries to lure in the hero, hero refuses, the villain has a small victory and the hero escapes by their teeth on the millennium falcon. People give Rian Johnson praise for killing Snoke so fast but it’s not different than Vader killing The Emperor other than it being in the second movie rather than the third except that it doesn’t result in Kylo turning good like Vader did.

[@CynicallyObnoxious]

No he didnt not at all he basically mashed up 5 and 6 and threw in that nihillistic subversive bullshit and it back fired in their fucking faces and they deserved it. Over the past two years people have literally lost their jobs because the fans closed their wallets

[@biguy617]

David Prichard No JJ's Ep 9 is actually worse than the Last Jedi.

[@VicAusTaxiTruckie]

Just aint feeling the need to watch any Star Wars anymore

[@MrEherndon5]

jiunn wong I've been done with them myself. It's a big franchise and I catch most at home

[@raymondjohnson1824]

Damn it Girts I see you back there. Come back!

[@luistorres6956]

Why he gone?

[@ArtKingjr]

Thanks Martin! Finally someone brave enough to say it. The writing for Star Wars has sucked in general. For these movies to be so long, you would think the story would be more developed, but they aren't. I believe the cartoons and video games have done way better.

[@aaronlevine6498]

Marvel has dethroned Star Wars as the top brand it seems. Especially in terms of quality. DC has not been even a competition to Marvel for a long long time now. Agreed???

[@Gavin48]

Quality? No Marvel reaches of epicness or depth of Empire Strikes or A New Hope.

[@aaronlevine6498]

Gavin48 Apart from 1st 3 original movies nothing has been good..Fact

[@DIZZYMANE]

Aaron Levine when you're right, you're right.

[@aaronlevine6498]

Michael Daley He definitely missed IW... 😂😂😂

[@DIZZYMANE]

Gavin48 it all comes down to a matter of opinion, cuz i thought the 1st star wars movie was boring af, and the lightsaber fight between Darth Vader & Obi wan, was laughable.

[@supersnapp]

This approach to analyzing the movie is very good. Please do this same format in the future. Its clear that a lot of movies can be analyzed this way.

[@EccentricSM]

Real Gertz looking over discount Gerts shoulder menacingly.

[@Anthonycheesman33]

Remember when nostalgia wasn't a bad word now people use it like its the f word lol

[@TheGloryXros]

THANK YOU MARTIN!!! I SERIOUSLY don't understand the hype around Boba Fett!

[@SCARFACE9511]

At first I wanted someone to bring to life the awesome and dark history of the Knights of the old republic, but seeing how these films are turning out. I don't want to see them making them and messing up why it's so amazing in the first place and get almost everything wrong if they do it and make it safe and funny for families.

[@kpag3030]

Listen... I liked seeing Maul. His extended story after episode 1 is actually really cool. I seriously don’t know why he was shoehorned into this movie. He had no reason to be in there. The only reason he is there is to set up a totally unneeded sequel. I’m a mega Star Wars fan. I don’t need every single possible story told in a movie.

[@JaxBlade]

That whole thing left me confused. I've seen CGI Clone Wars & Rebels so I knew he was alive but FUCKIN DARTHMAULS Cameo WAS SOOOOO F*CKIN RANDOM I honestly had one of those WTF pauses to giggling fits cause I had NOO F*CKIN CLUE WHY HE WAS THERE?!

[@FallenRingbearer]

Its wasn't random at all. She rose in the ranks of Crimson Dawn, and he's the Boss. ???

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

I actually enjoy watching the movie

[@ataridc]

Most people's complaints are my positives. I thought the smaller scope of the film was excellent. It reminded me of the eu / comics and it gave you a better idea of han without changing the character. But that inconsequentiality mixed with general fatigue made for a film that appeals exclusively to hard core fans ...that aren't mad over women or black people being in the film.

[@VEZOK54]

Actually Sammy, in legends material, Bobs Fett did escape from the Sarlacc pit but he was heavily damaged and scarred (both armor and body). Hell, even fellow bounty hunter Dengar had to come in and patch him up. I can see the Boba Fett movie being about after escaping the pit, and everyone basically thinking that he’s dead or his notoriety has gone down, he tries to cement his name into the bounty hunter business again while there’s new faces that are disrespecting his name. I want it to be a more personal story, kinda like the comic “Twin Engines of Destruction”.

[@biguy617]

Vezok Neema Yeah but only the hard core fans read those books

[@maguzmcstudios488]

Great show as always!! I am a bit surprised you guys didn't cover how part of the normally loyal fan base has decided not to see this movie (tend to be the multiple viewing kind) as a protest on the overall direction of the SAGA and in particular on how Disney has gone on about responding to those who do make VALID POINTS on why they are dissatisfied. Lucas film seems to have resorted to name calling and labeling everyone as to having extreme views rather addressing some of the well thought and rational arguments on why people are not happy (you cover some in your video). What goes around comes around!

[@avonbarksdale91]

MaguzMc International yup. That's why the comments section were a war zone for months because if you didn't like TLJ you were a sad, old, fan boy who can't get over the old trilogy. lol I'm 27 haha. By reading comments on twitter and KZbin ALOT of people just straight up didn't see this movie because if the previous one and that blows because I really enjoyed this movie.

[@maguzmcstudios488]

To be clear, is not that Lucas Film has to provide answer to fans that are concerns or raise valid points, would be nice if they did it in an appreciate manner (that would be sound customer service) but people are right that they don't have to do that!! What is NOT ON is to start labeling everyone that doesn't like the new direction and overall planning of the SAGA as extremist just because they don't agree with them (Directors and Producers on attack mode) - that is just a bad move

[@mrhopadopalus]

MaguzMc International if Lucas films didn’t maliciously attack the fans their wouldn’t be so much anger toward them they force all these political messages far more than the other 2 trilogies Rian Johnson and his snoke theory shit, it’s just not a good relationship, you can disregard what the fans think and just look at the last Jedi as apart of an established universe, it takes the force and warps what it was already established to be, it breaks light speed by weaponizing it contradicting past conflicts with in the universe. The argument that “fans hated it because it wasn’t what they wanted” is invalidated by the fact that the movie breaks rules and changes concepts of pre established universe. That warrants people who are familiar with the universe to say “I didn’t like that it doesn’t fit with in this already established universe”

[@JoseLHernandezJ]

FYI Boba Fet didnt die there, he did escape from within the monster's pit.

[@Tamiss]

No he died just like Maul died. Bringing them back is stupid fan service, they should have stayed dead.

[@clearspira]

Fuck the EU. Anyone who watches the films alone (which is most fans) he is dead and so is Maul.

[@jmac2050]

that wasn't boba that fell in the pit, it was his student carrying on his brand. Boba got paid, chilling at Vader castle, with a new suit of armor

[@TheRcanmeananything]

They need to not release these movies every damn year, I think fatigue has set in for most folks.

[@triplflip900]

I really didn't like them showing the origin of his name. I was sitting in the theater like "are you serious right now?" Some things really should just be left alone

[@RojinofRiron]

I actually wrote a short series bout to rejected Jedi that used the force in restricted way. They escaped order 666 but accidentally ended up in another galaxy where none is tapping into the force. They build the Jedi order in a different way ,but then it shifts to another group 50 years later,learning the force. Just saying it is an endless well of creative possibilities.

[@CatLives9]

Is that......is that......Girts on his phone back there?

[@randomfools808]

"So they can hashtag you?"- Martin is gold lol

[@seasidescott]

The new Spocks have done a great job in Star Trek. Can't think of anyone more tied to a role, Nimoy even wrote the book "I am not Spock". Harrison Ford has Indiana Jones as well.

[@ProjectDelta1]

It's simple really. Lucasfilm gave us the middle finger with Last Jedi, and we returned the favor. Perfectly balanced.

[@MrConredsX]

Kathleen Kennedy needs to go. She hired RIan Johnson because he shared her SJW views, not because he was a good man for the SW. She doesn't care about the fans, just about political messages.

[@trickykid73]

Yes exactly.

[@mrpepre]

Juan S it’s a shame people didn’t mobilise after tfa’s, I was called a racist, anti feminist for nearly two years by most of the fans at the time.

[@pascha120]

MrConredsX Didn't Kennedy and Disney also give Rian Johnson a new SW trilogy to write/direct? Honestly curious to know how on earth Kennedy (and Disney) expect to make money off of a new Johnson SW trilogy... even Chinese audiences don't seem to give a shit about the new SW franchise. Since many SW fans have been openly hating on TLJ/Johnson, and have no problem boycotting 'Solo' in theatres (some fans even saying they'd rather pirate 'Solo' than see it on the big screen)... fans may very well refuse to see any of Johnson's new SW films in theatres too.

[@khalduras784]

mrpepre Even with TLJ you can still be called sexist etc etc for not liking the movie. Hell! The actor for Rey herself says that some people are sexist just for saying that Rey is a Mary Sue

[@patrickdoss25]

Boba Fett actually escapes the Sarlacc Pitt after a time just FYI.

“I want civil right for everything, even for a vacuum cleaner”- you of all people should know. Corey...

[@kirkdarling4120]

This Darth Maul is essentially a character of the television series. I like that they're finally tying in the television series because that's where they're building the next generation of fans. A big problem of TLJ is that they didn't incorporate anything the NextGenners already know about the Star Wars universe, such as being Force gray, which is what seemed to be the way TLJ was going to go...but didn't.

[@nateisler3]

Lando/Globber: This is the galaxy. The sith be slippin now, the sith be slippin now. Force lightning whippin now. This is the galaxy.

[@Crurned]

I agree with the first recommendation, thank you! NO ONE WANTED A HAN SOLO FILM!!! Ford made Han Solo, make a film of a new character, it worked for Rogue One.

[@yannizentefis3878]

I’ll be honest, I enjoyed SOLO. I thought it was a nice change of pace adventure film in the Star Wars film universe. I thought the first act was god awful but after that and as the movie went on I thought it got better. Considering all the drama behind it I thought it turned out to be a solid movie. Considering it was movie I never wanted I still managed to have a good time with it.

[@NoOnesaidthis]

“Maybe we can see lando when he is old” face palm compilation

[@ataridc]

I wish they'd make droids more background characters again. They were never meant to be main characters. R2 and c3po were just comic relief and one didnt even speak English. One good thing about k2so is he looked like previous droids we've seen before and his personality wasn't too human.

[@ashleygris]

The reason Maul showed his saber was to show it was the same one as Rebels

[@biguy617]

[@coloneluseless524]

What does everyone in the background do? I always see them just in the back. Im confused.

[@cdogg46]

This is really SOLO & LANDO like Marvel's The Falcon & The Winter Soldier

[@joshuatabak95]

I enjoyed this movie. It was fun, not great, but worth the money to see it. I was disappointed to hear it wasn't successful.

[@emiliolira5546]

i would like to point out that the fact solo didn't do so well as much as it did at the box office was because the past 3 star wars films The Force Awakens, Rogue 1, and The Last Jedi all were pretty much made as a cash and grab for kids to get their parents into by merchandise based on this film for Christmas. Not only that but ever since Force Awakens came out, there were people everywhere here in Sacramento, CA who were lined up in droves so they can see the kickoff movie off their Christmas vacation. I mean I myself went to a 7:00pm 3-D showing on opening night on December 15, 2015 (the same day my dog, pepper died R.I.P.) and I went to the Cinedome while is was in its remodeling phase and it was literally pouring rain and the crowds were all the way at the end of theater. Point Saying the only reason why I think is maybe because even though original 6 (except the 3-D animated The Clone Wars Spin-off which was released as a kickoff film for theaters in August 2008 to start the new upcoming fall TV series on Cartoon Network) were only scheduled as summer releases where as the latest three were scheduled as Christmas releases and this felt like it was a little early for a Star Wars anything to be released in this day in age

[@andrewjacome223]

Damn the predictions on Boba Fett were pretty off lol. You guys rock btw.

[@StuNankivell]

14:00 When I saw that character, it reminded me of that botched Jesus painting restoration in Spain!

[@NoMADnecro]

I know I'm late to the party but I think Disney should do a Darth Bane Trilogy based on the books and I recommend that you guys read them or better yet get the audiobook which is fantastic. It would be a good idea because the books have the audience see the perspective of a dark side user instead of a Jedi.

[@biguy617]

Why was Darth Maul in the movie? I know he came back from the dead in the canon Clone Wars and was in SW Rebels. I hope no one is thinking he is Snoke. He doesn't even look like Snoke. Also Snoke does not have robot legs. That idea would have no logic behind it. That was a stupid cameo. Where is that cameo going to go in he future?

[@deadpolymers3416]

I thought this was the most star-warsy Star Wars movie since the original trilogy. None of the prequels or new movies capture the feel of the original films, but Solo does. Is it the best movie ever, nope, but neither were the originals. It's a fun movie, the guy playing Han did a really good job, and it does a great job expanding the universe around the main story line of the trilogy films.

[@AXSofHFDS]

lando got friend-zoned by L3, that was so funny.

[@straxx5087]

NICE! Where's the high score episode talking about the monster hunter movie though? Korey G on that Capcom hate again? Kappa

[@betterlatethannever4529]

I can't agree more! Darth Maul has enough connections as it is, Solo shouldn't play the Marvel card and have him in it. Plus, Han himself shouldn't have a single connection to the force until A New Hope

[@snaketooth0943]

Skip to 1:56 to skip the advert

[@NoOnesaidthis]

“Hey, you know what?” -ohh nooooooo!!!! (Martin)

[@Delboy0]

The film was okay but they still turned Lando the coolest dude in Star Wars into Finn 2.0 another black male character emasculated, getting no love and made into buffoon comic relief. Kennedy and or the writers clearly had have an agenda to write weak beta black male characters all the time. Korey is also right about Hollywood's agenda to only make interracial love acceptable and mainstream only when it involves white male character. In the first 10 minutes they had Thandie Newton's character kissing up on Woody Harrison while Finn hasn't got any romantic kiss from Rey in two films and they even inserted a token Asian love interest for Finn to try and kill the romance between Finn and Rey. The plantation mentality of Hollywood is appalling.

[@Delboy0]

Kathleen Kennedy clearly has no respect for Black Audiences she knows Black Audiences hate Buffoonish black characters and keeps doing this with Black male characters in the new Star Wars movies. Black Panther shows the money you will make from Black Audiences if you write strong Black characters and they have blown it now and Black people are no longer gonna see any of the Star Wars films and you need black people globally to have a massive hit today and I don't think Kennedy knows this and thinks it is still the 1970s where she thinks having token black characters is enough while all the white characters do all the cool stuff. Bootleg this from now on.

[@RalphJr-xp3hp]

Delboy0 you hit the nail right on its head 🙌🏾💯.

[@MrChupacabra555]

At about 13:00 : You know something I would LOVE to see? If they got Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes to play a Hutt and... whatever race Salacious Crumb is, in the next movie ^_^ It doesn't have to be a huge scene, just a quick cameo where both say something, kind of like how Simon Pegg and Daniel Craig got cameos in the Force Awakens, simply because they were big name Fanboys of Star Wars. At about 17:00 : When it comes to puppets for Practical Effects: I don't see why Disney of all people couldn't do better here, they own the company who is best known for making Practical Effect sci-fi/fantasy creatures: Henson Associates (the Muppet people). At about 20:00: As to Darth Maul: You are right, if you only go by his appearance in 'Phantom Menace', Maul isn't really a character at all. However, the people who were in charge of the animated series "Clone Wars" and "Rebels" really liked Maul, and took great effort to make him the villain we really wanted to see (enough so that his ridiculous survival after being CHOPPED IN HALF can be forgiven ^_^). So, it was nice to see the movies acknowledge part of the expanded Star Wars universe, and my hopes are that he will appear in the Boba Fett movie, perhaps in a 'Versus' situation (although much of Maul's story, including his final death, has already been told, I wouldn't mind some 'retconning' of it if it makes for a better story in the end).

[@kevinsorbi9744]

[@djack39]

[@djack39]

RheyaRu!z that’s bullshit and you know it. No one is going to watch Deadpool for its enthralling narrative. The action and comedy are great, they nail it. Don’t assume I like every marvel film because I don’t. The big differences are marvel actually cares about what it’s Dan base think and they deliver fun action packed movie that cries different genres while making the fan base feel as if they are being catered and welcomed. Lucas film has lost its identity trying to force identity politics into everything and then blame fans for not liking their shit movies. Or they like make excuses blame others without taking any accountability for the bullshit they put out.

[@spcfl1461]

Deandre Jackson Ding ding ding! We have a winner ladies and gentlemen! Couldn’t agree more

[@jameskilljoy625]

I thought Girts left.

[@SpeedBoost]

Solo was completely tone deaf. They even played John Williams Imperial March as the Empires in universe theme song! That is the dumbest cringiest shit any movie (that's not a parody) can possibly do, it was pathetic when David played the Prometheus theme on a recorder in Alien Covenant and its pathetic when The Imperial March is played in universe in a recruitment video for the Empire. Also the best part of the movie was when that obnoxious L3-ET droid was killed and then they permanently imprisoned it within the Millennium Falcon, which was hilariously tone deaf for a character who was campaigning for liberation to be then imprisoned by it's friends instead of just uploading its hard drive into another Droids body, Droids aren't alive so they can be replaced and repurposed like any hardware. Also it makes no sense for Droids to be demanding for "Droids Rights" considering less than 20 years ago in the Star Wars universe a Droid Army brought the galaxy to the brink of destruction and Droids were invading, enslaving and massacring every organic species home planets and star systems. Droids are the main cause of Palpatine being able to seize power as they created a war that lead to Palpatine establishing the Galactic Empire that's now ruling the galaxy. That would be like if after WW2 the surviving Nazi's were demanding for "Nazi Rights" and were campaigning so that they can still practice, preach and promote their fucked up ideology. If anything all organic life in the galaxy should absolute despise Droids and they should enforce strict restrictions on their abilities and their movements. That line in A New Hope of the Cantina owner saying "We don't serve their kind in here!" in relation to Lukes droids makes perfect sense (retroactively) when you consider how organic life would feel towards Droids after the Clone Wars.

[@houseoftoussaint9609]

Solo is the most consistently "Star Wars" movie since The Force Awakens, and managed to be the also the most original of the new movies. Star Wars has always been about FUN. It's like it took all the best parts of A New Hope, with the western elements played up over the fantasy elements. It's the best one for me. Rogue One, while consistent, had the death star plot (again) Darth Vader (again), the empire are the bad guys (again). TFA was just A New Hope for a new generation TLJ was original only in characterization (for better or worse) of certain characters like Luke and Kylo, the story was incredibly similar to Empire.

The chick in the background with the strappy heels is killing me man.

[@andrewwilliams9981]

If this would have came out right before the force awakens this would have made both films better in a way to me

[@solidswat2041]

If they would've released it in December like usual than a lot of the anger with the Last Jedi would have blown over.

[@luisaap524]

Father grits in the back !!!!!

[@robertmendez3288]

I want a movie centered around order 66, and call it knightfall which showcases the lower level jedi while all the main masters are off doing their own thing and see the horror inside the jedi temple

[@bv7920]

Only made 100 million on a 5-day holiday opening weekend? Dayum. After all the advertising and paying the theaters, they'll be lucky if they break even.

[@Smokinbacon]

I heard that Salacious Crumb laugh and I knew it, I knew it was fucking Girts. Miss you on the show guy.

[@AleBanjo]

The name I really wanna know the origin of is Kit Fisto, can we have a scene explaining that in the next film?

[@MFOberon]

I think I would've liked this movie more if it didn't turn into an ad for the extended universe in the last 5 minutes. :/

[@ohdogwow2]

Like Sammy, I too have been saying for years that the Kotor series was a perfect source for a new set of movies. No hard canon for the nerds to flip out over and you have tons of room from game to movie adaptation.

[@deltaprime3509]

I am excited for the boba fett movie because I like the character a lot but also they James mangold to direct he was the director of Logan.

[@Anthonycheesman33]

DeltaPrime350 he also did wolverine lol

[@Lordgenome76]

Does it really need saving? Or does Hollywood need to lower its box office expectations? It's not the 80s anymore, there's plenty of sci-fi shit other than SW, and plenty to watch outside of movies. Also, to be honest the Star Wars movies are overall 50-50 - the original trilogy was great, the prequels were shit, and the TFA-era has been polarizing. Some people like certain films, others don't. Maybe we just need to stop treating SW like every film needs to break box office records.

[@Cityweaver]

Bro, the movie cost $250 million to make and movies honestly only have 3 weeks to make that money back by doing double their budget. It's in the contract relationship they have with theaters: for the first two weeks, the distributors make 90% of the sales revenue from movies and that balances to 50/50 then to mostly the theaters after that. Every movie, from block busters to indie films, needs to make double their budget in three weeks. If Solo doesn't make $500 worldwide in 3 weeks, it IS a financial problem for the distributors who put down credited money to make it. Which is why when these people spend $150, 200, 250, 300 freaking million dollars on films, they NEED to be massive blockbusters all over the world or else. Lucasfilm made the prequels on budgets of about $110-120 million, X-Men movies usually cost between $100-150 and most Marvel movies cost $120-150 million and ONLY the Avengers movies cost $200-220. Star Wars and DCEU are the only popcorn-flick franchises that blow their wallets on literally every film they make, thinking that audiences will watch every single film they make with equal enthusiasm.

[@Lordgenome76]

Good points. I haven't heard that 90% figure before, but overall I agree with most of this. I only said "Hollywood" before, but I think the message goes to DISNEY as well. Star Wars doesn't automatically equal profit. It can be a success if you handle it right, like the DCEU. Unfortunately that second-week drop has pretty much sealed Solo's fate, just hoping they learned some lessons here.

[@codafett]

The prequels are better than the Disney shit.

[@avonbarksdale91]

It's not inexcusable. They're setting up another movie with Maul and Q'Ira. Tons of people watch clone wars and Rebels.

[@alejandromolina7270]

Seriously, Darth Maul is in the movie? He had a great arc in Star Wars Rebels, why ruin it?

[@nickyb3800]

First, accept the fact that a huge chunk of people hate The Last Jedi and apologize. Stop calling us Russian bots, racists, or other stupid shit. (This include you too, Korey.)

[@Cityweaver]

OMG, I just had an amazing idea.... What if Boba Fett was such a feared outlaw because the original Boba Fett teamed up with some of his Stormtrooper brothers to pull a Dreaded Pirate Roberts and all be Boba Fett? MAKE THAT MOVIE, LUCASFILM!

[@postmanpat6]

I did not see Solo. I was very disappointed with TLJ. What made my decision was Lucasfilm calling all fans who did not like it racist and sexist. Also the writer Jon Kasdan saying that Lando was pansexual. This has no place in a Star Wars movie.

[@Theyungcity23]

Aidan Brennan why only have sex with human women when there are sexy robots and aliens? It's very Star Wars

[@mrhopadopalus]

The fact that he went out to say lando was pansexual was such a political publicity stunt I think all star wars fans are well aware that Lando probably fucked aliens, going out of your way to use the word “pansexual” to pander to the extremist left is the issue, Your right there is no place for forced modern gender politics in Star Wars. If he just said “you know Lando is a pretty promiscuous guy, he gets around the galaxy if you know what I mean” he could have gotten the same point across with out being preachy about it.

[@mrhopadopalus]

Theyungcity23 but is the word “Pansexual” very starwars? Or is it a word to try and pander to the gender extremist because I don’t think you need to be considered a pan sexual to fuck a robot or an alien. It’s very unnecessary to have to label the character with a concept that has never existed in the established universe just so it can related a current issue in the real world, it’s like them saying “well Lando hates police brutality and the white privilege that sweeps the galaxy”, it’s a real world issue thats not relevant to Star Wars, why is it being shoehorned in.

[@Theyungcity23]

mrhopadopalus but that's what the word means. It's like saying it's unnecessary to use the word cut when someone uses a lightsaber to sever something.

[@reggiefreeborn2143]

gosh you guys sound like fuckin parrots. The series has had lesbian,gay even asexual characters in the extended universe for years and here you are,bitching about sjws(ironic since you types usually bitch about sjw bitching) putting a sexuality on a fictional character

[@TheWuCepticon1981]

Girtz in the bg lol

[@deb7457]

The first Star Wars movie was genius!! Hadn’t ever seen anything like that before on the big screen! And it was exciting! Action from the beginning to the end! Darth Vader was the biggest badass ever!! And the Empire Strikes Back was a masterpiece!!

[@biguy617]

There is another thing I didn't understand about this movie. L3 becomes part of the Falcon. How does that tie into what we know know about The ship? Did C3PO talk to the L3,artificial intelligent computer in Empire to learn the Hyper Drive need work in Empire? It makes no sense! Is that the reason why the Falcon is referred to like a woman?

[@krystianmoralesify]

Like they are never going to make a sith movie because it is to dark to do it and heck to scary

[@anubusx]

I want a movie about the two aliens who attacked Luke in A New Hope.

[@lamech006]

Michael Freedman they were given a cameo in Rogue One...

[@bat4280]

Disney made only one mistake with Solo. They released it less than a month after Infinity War.

[@RaikenXion]

Nah Boba Fett was a badass character because he just looked badass and was basically the only 'minion' type character, who spoke back to Vader. Im the same Rogue One was solid. I hated the Darth Maul cameo at the end, hes a cool character and i like how the fans helped bring him back but he really wasnt needed in the Solo movie, especially when you think about the FACT, Han Solo later on said to Luke and Obi Wan that hes never witnessed anything of the force in all the galaxy that he has seen.

[@mufasa37]

Couldn't disagree more on the puppets issue. But hey to each it's own. & I loved the Darth maul connection. If you didn't get it then you didn't get it. But glad you did your research after.

[@jasonrodriguez1870]

incorrect Korey. the best thing Disney can do right now is compliment the OT with their Star Wars Story films, meanwhile nix their continuation of the Skywalker Saga (Episodes 1-6). OK they already shit the Bed with 7 and now 8...9 might as well have a Leia funeral in it and be done with it. Wrap it up. Then go on and do whatever the hell you want - by continuing "A STAR WARS STORY" titles with Rey, or Ren, or whatever...Just stop continuing the SAGA AT LARGE.

[@mrhopadopalus]

Dustin Scarsdale the best thing Disney can do is tell Lucas films to stop attacking fans on social media
