- Yo. I've cracked it! They'll release a shitload of prequels - R1, Fett, Obi Wan etc. then pile all the characters into a banal 3-part epic Infinity War-style.face_melter
- Then use some dimensional time travel fuckery to tie the two SW universes together. Wait. ToTiTeeToo. That's a droid name. I'm practically spunking ideas!face_melter
- surprised no teases of Jabba, Boba etc. but it has promise phaps. He will be the downfall though, Mr Cheese face which Ford never had.fadein11

I liked Rogue One, but this has me worried. The rumors behind the various creative changes through the process ... along with the lack of Han Solo in the trailer for a movie about Han Solo, my hopes aren't too high at this point.
I'll still see it like a sucker, though.

One of my favourite concept artists / illustrators, Ian McQue, worked on this. Really curious to see what he produced.
- His work is bonus Face_melter, love the buildings he draws.PhanLo

So sad that what should be the most anticipated SW spin off movie can hardly even raise an upvote on a post here. Disney have fucked this franchise with the last 2 main movies, I hope they deliver anything even half as good as Rogue One, which frankly is very unlikely. Judging by it's problems and their fear of even releasing a teaser trailer 3 months before release date it's gonna be a crock of shit :(
- Just imagine what it'll be like 5–10 years down the line when every last drop has been wrung from which and whatever New Hope was hoped for.detritus
- indeed det.fadein11
- god you being sarcastic? lol. anyway, I'm pretty much done with it.fadein11
- ^ just in time for a reboot of the original trilogy!face_melter
- so much room for innovation with all that budget and talent but so fucking lazy. where's the latent gone. It's like it's given to you on a plate, I struggle tofadein11
- understand how its even possible to fuck it up so bad when you have major SW fans at the helm, people who grew up with the shit and still deliverfadein11
- lazy formulaic bullshit.fadein11
- latent = talent obvs lolfadein11
- anger leads to hate...MrT
- lolfadein11
- apparently kasdan's script was really great. so hopes are up. let em milk Star Wars imo. more fun than super heroes running around in silly costumes.inteliboy
- it's the same lazy shit as superhero movies though, that's how low they have gone.fadein11
- you're probably right. but superhero films get a free pass... there's what, 4-5 of them a year?inteliboy
- yep truefadein11

"The lead actor, Alden Ehrenreich, can't act, and they had a dialogue coach on hand for all of his scenes."

Would that it were so simple...
TBF it's a well acted scene by both of them.
- Yeah pretty unlikely. You don't land a lead high profile part in a new franchise based on friendship if there's nothing to back it up, if only previous success.spl33nidoru
- Ehrenreich was great in Coppola's Tetro, his acting might not be as campy as Disney might require here (hence a coach, which is not unusual), but he can act.spl33nidoru
- All said, I thought he was a terrible choice for Solo when I first heard he was cast for the role, still think so but we just have to wait and see.raf
- I loved him in Hail Ceaser.
The best thing in it.Hayzilla

humm ... might work. Is the light behind him indicating the force?

Basically felt like there was no villain. That nest characters looked cool, but turned out to not actually be a villain, and the other boring looking dude with those laser daggers was barely in the movie.

That's not the real movie poster in the original post (thank goodness). It's a bogus one made by a fan.

I like this review:

30-sec teaser airing during the Superbowl, first trailer this coming Monday
- cannonball19780
I liked it. But the Enfys Nest character felt a little forced.

Damn guys... it wasn't THAT bad.

I though it was good not great. Space heist movie. There were a couple of jarring bits but it overall i dug it.
I liked how it linked through to whats happened in clones wars.
It did kind a feel like a live action episode of rebels or clones wars.

I loved the fact that this movie came down to the fact that Han shot first.
I also loved the singers in the cantina. I know it's an old gimmick but those characters were great.
Most of the rest was a dumb action movie. Star Wars deserves better.
