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.

Rose is easily my least favorite Star Wars character. Her arc was hypocritical and absurd. And she ruined Finn's character. When she halted Finn's heroic sacrifice, I just about lost it. Utter stupidity. |

Under $16 million domestic gross this weekend. Financially, this movie's dead. With the competition coming up, and it being $24 million short of $200 million right now, it's going fall far short of Rogue One's billion dollar total and $532 million domestic. Barring one hell of a comeback, it's not even going to clear $400 million total. So, it's shaping up to be
If that doesn't have Disney thinking of cutting Kennedy loose and bringing in someone else to right the ship, in the hope that it's not already too late, then Iger has lost his mind. |

Basically, every main male character, other than Chewbacca, in Last Jedi is portrayed as a bumbling clown.
Luke is failed, cranky quitter. Finn is a coward and a moron. Poe is a hot-headed mindless fool. Kylo is still a weepy, emo Anakin. (God I hate his character - worst villain since Nero in the first JarJar Abrams Star Trek.) But thank God the ladies are in the house to set them straight, amiright?! |

Say what you want about Disney, but George would have put Star Wars into an early grave.

You would think they would want to celebrate an interracial pairing considering the diversity is good shtick they've been pushing. Oh well. Maybe Rian got cucked by a black man and wasn't having any of it.
