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.

How in the **** could they **** this up?
If it wasn’t Star Wars I would be laughing my ass off. If you are Disney you clean house. **** her loyalists. Too bad Disney is the very definition of PC. |

I agree to a point. There is a lot of momentum built, and it’s going the opposite way that Disney wants it to go.
It will take a top 1-2 Star Wars movie EVER to turn things around. The sad thing is that they killed off several key components that could have helped create the movie needed. |

Rian Johnson is a terrible writer and story teller who doesn’t know these characters or this universe. He made a beautiful-looking movie but the whole effort to subvert expectations wasn’t daring — it was just stupid and inconsistent with decades of established storytelling by filmmakers far more skilled then him. TLJ is a disjointed mess and the sooner Disney realizes giving RJ the keys to the car was a bad idea the sooner they may be able to move on. They can’t really remake the movie, but they’d go a long way to righting the ship by removing the five seconds where Luke disappears at the end so they can bring him back in Episode 9 and undo the damage RJ has caused. |

Objectively false.
Rotten tomatoes ratings of his films: Brick - 79% Brothers Bloom - 67% Looper - 93% Out of Print - 80% The Last Jedi - 91% Average: 82 He's not Steven Spielberg but his films have all been well reviewed consistently, which certainly doesn't point to "terrible writer and story teller." TLJ wasn't everyone's cup of tea but Rian Johnson is an accomplished filmmaker who will keep getting lots of projects. |

Lets look at audience scores, the ones that actually buy tickets, for his movies instead of the shitty critics that wouldn't know a good movie if it bit them on the ass... Brick - 86% Brothers Bloom - 64% Looper - 82% Out of Print - 62% The Last Jedi - 46% Average - 68% He is the Applebee's of movie making |

A Darth Vader movie focusing on what happened after his battle with Obi-Wan to Episode 1 would rock and roll.

Audience scores are ****ing stupid. It's not representative of the population. Just a bunch of ****ing basement-dwelling nerds pounding their dicks to negative attention online.

I don’t trust either one at this point. Most critics are liberal elitists who care more about agenda pushing than movies, and most people are morons who just want more splosions and CGI comic book bullshit.
