Solo: A Star Wars Story 2018 Spoiler Thread
http://www.starwars.com/news/donald-...and-alone-film
Donald Glover is officially a young Lando Calrissian! Lucasfilm announced today that Donald Glover, an acclaimed actor, award-winning writer, and Grammy-nominated artist, will be playing the part of Lando Calrissian in the still-untitled Han Solo Star Wars film, helmed by directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Glover will join Alden Ehrenreich — previously cast as Han Solo — in bringing two iconic Star Wars characters back to the big screen, but at a time in their lives previously unexplored. This new film depicts Lando in his formative years as a scoundrel on the rise in the galaxy’s underworld — years before the events involving Han, Leia, and Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back and his rise to Rebel hero in Return of the Jedi. “We’re so lucky to have an artist as talented as Donald join us,” said Lord and Miller. “These are big shoes to fill, and an even bigger cape, and this one fits him perfectly, which will save us money on alterations. Also, we’d like to publicly apologize to Donald for ruining Comic-Con for him forever.” Glover is best known for creating and starring in the critically acclaimed FX series Atlanta (which had the highest premiere numbers for any basic cable comedy show since 2013), as well as for starring in four seasons of the show Community, and for his Grammy-nominated album Because the Internet, performed under the name Childish Gambino. In addition, Glover appeared in the Academy Award-nominated The Martian, and will be seen in the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming. The untitled Han Solo movie is set for release in 2018.

"Darkness rises, and the light to meet it". It's been that way since the dawn of time and will always be that way. No matter how strong and powerful our heroes are on the screen or in real life. And even in knowing that truth... heroes still stand against that evil - it's actually a pretty damned inspiring message. I think that's the point. |

What the **** are you watching? The "point" is that the heroes of the original Star Wars Trilogy are inconsequential and failures at life. Failed parents, failed marriages, failed to stop further evil. Fail, Fail, Epic Fail. |

Thanks to Luke and his friends the galaxy was saved and they had 30 years of peace.
The First Order attempted a return to tyranny once again, and briefly succeeded by winning a few battles, but thanks to our original heroes, some new friends and a last-minute change of heart from Ben Solo, it will be destroyed from within! What a great story of family legacy and good triumphing over evil! The Republic will be restored! |

Maybe that's why it was such a big "meh" for me. I don't know. I haven't thought about it a lot because the movie had barely any effect on me. I guess you could say that I'm jaded or disinterested, but I've seen a lot of stuff lately that was downright gripping. I mean, hell, I was more into the Wonder Woman movie than this. Not what I expected. Last edited by listopencil; 01-04-2018 at 01:19 PM.. Reason: typo |

The period between ROTJ and TFA

Tapout acknowledged Evil exists, yes. And sometimes the good guys win and sometimes the bad guys win. Pretty freakin' boring trilogy if Han, Luke and Leia had stamped out all evil in the universe for all time, don't you think? Quote:
yeah... life is hard, marriage is hard, parenting is freakin' hard, stopping all further evil is impossible. The Star Wars universe you want is all rainbows and butterflies. |

I don't know. It just wasn't an engaging movie. I feel like they could have done better. |

Finn and Rose really shouldn't be in the films. If Poe Dameron had started out as a TIE pilot or something he could have been a really interesting character. I actually like his arc in TLJ quite a bit. Finn and Poe should have been one character. Too many characters competing for screen time. |

Again, I think these movies are being held up to unrealistic expectations. When the OT came out, there was nothing, and had been nothing like it in the history of cinema. You are never going to capture that again.

Disney had to scale Mt. Everest if they wanted to use the original characters AND introduce new ones and do them credit. It's not perfect, but we got a far more creative effort than what was put out with Star Trek. Talk about a rehash... |
