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.

Yeah. I suppose that in that holo talk he and Q'ira were having at the end, he could have had his mechanical legs already? I have no idea when Solo takes place as in relation with Clone Wars and Rebels, though....

By the time of Rebels, he has no galactic power of any sort, much less an affiliation with any kind of crime organization.

Don’t know why they needed to tie Maul to any of this. I didn’t like that part.

It was a half-assed attempt at an "ooh-ahh" that made zero sense. I don't know why they didn't just go with black sun and then show someone like prince xizor at the end? Real SW fans( at whom these movies are targeted ) would have loved that shit.

Likely it was a set-up for the Obi-Wan movie - as previous works have Maul surviving from his hate for Kenobi.

They'll probably try to pry it into a Vader film or trilogy. Just more disregard for the GOOD work done by people not named JJ or KK.

Just finished Solo, though I wasn't paying close attention during the Corellia scenes I got the gist of what was up.
Liked this one a lot -the tone, the cast, the cinematography and the plot -it was all good. The whole SJW droid angle was hamfisted but at least they kind of lampshaded it with Lando's reactions. Won't bother seeing TLJ given what I've seen through spoilers, but I can't help but think the Mouse could have avoided some of the backlash had they followed R1 with Solo. |

Are you kidding me? This movie was better than I thought after watching in Netflix.
That being said I really want a Darth Vader going around galaxies killing Jedi movie |

I watched it last week on a Delta flight and I thought it was awful. Dialogue and pace ruined it for me.

Just watched this. I thought the scene of the train heist and the scene of the Millennium Falcon escaping the fighters were well staged. I also thought Chewie had some good scenes.
The story was fine and the dialogue was adequate, which is more than any of the other modern SW movies that I've watched can say. Chief complaint: the casting. There's a fine line between "charming rogue" and "smirking douche" and the lead actor falls on the wrong side of it, imo. The rest of the cast was serviceable. Minor complaints: the usual SW stuff. Goofy shit, pointless callbacks, writing for a sequel etc. |
