In a galaxy far, far away... [Star Wars omnibus thread]

I don't think I have enough crayons and paper to participate in this thread any further.

Further proof Hamill got his proverbial knuckles rapped:

I got in trouble because I was quoted as saying to Rian that "I fundamentally disagree with everything you decided about Luke", and it was inartfully phrased.

So he was literally forced to post that corporate apology. #shrug

Weekend 3 is coming up and TLJ is in a desperate race to outgross Rogue One right now -- who gonna win??

In other news, Disney is laying the groundwork to Solo: A Star Wars Story completely bombing at release.

Disney is bracing themselves for the Han Solo movie to bomb. They were worried about it before all The Last Jedi controversy, but now they’re essentially writing Solo off. The lead actor, Alden Ehrenreich, can’t act, and they had a dialogue coach on hand for all of his scenes. On top of that, the script is unworkable. It’s going to be a car crash.

Oh well... still, I'm stupidly hopeful.

I just can't get my head around Donald Glover as Young Lando NOT being awesome (unless he's been cut down to a cameo and even then...).

Also, Ron Howard -- I just can't bet against him, guy knows how to film. I'm in until the end credits roll.

Ron Howard? That piss poor rhetoric-laden film maker? Oh dear.

[novicius]

Shit, if Blerpa doesn't like him then I'm in 200%!

George Lucas said this movie was “beautifully made”. I can agree with that. The visuals were outstanding. That’s about it.

[MR2 Fan]

I'm still on the fence about the whole thing...I can truly understand both sides of the situation and people's thoughts on the story.

[Crazed_Insanity]

So diplamtic

and something else that got retracted a bit

[Rare White Ape]

Ron Howard? That piss poor rhetoric-laden film maker? Oh dear.

Plus he didn’t actually ‘make’ the Solo film. He was brought in just as principal photography was wrapping.

[novicius]

Howard has reshot a lot more than originally planned.

It's his movie now, make no mistake.
