apuszczalowski Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Force Awakens, or Rogue One? The latter is on Netflix, none of the "mainline 7" movies are (when I was last on Netflix a month or three ago).both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabills Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 SOLO. Pretty good! He felt like Han, or as least as much like Han as he could when he's not played by Harrison Ford. Glover was great as Lando. Emilia Clark was better here than she is in GoT. Ron Howard really pulled out a good Star Wars movie from the pile of trash that production had become.

Going Sunday but this has me optimistic. I'm hoping for a space adventure movie that's actually fun since they went all in on making Star Wars dour in the last two attempts.

My Star Wars obsessed coworker went in with low expectations and said it was his favorite new SW movie. Had a lot of fun. He and I tend to agree on the newer flicks opinion wise, so I trust his judgement.  Looking forward to it now.  Honestly I'm just here for DonGlover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) Screw it. Going to see it tonight. Was surprised there were still seats available for the 6:30 at Maple Ridge. :beer: Edited May 25, 2018 by darksabre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they tried to replicate that with the The Last Jedi and...whiffed. I still think TLJ was fine, but its the weakest of the Disney SW films for sure.  SOLO was fun and funny, but the humor in it didn't feel forced. It was much more space adventure than space opera, which I think is a good thing for it. And they didn't try to over nostalgia fill it either.  My Star Wars obsessed coworker went in with low expectations and said it was his favorite new SW movie. Had a lot of fun.

Brawndo Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 I really enjoyed Solo, I like to see where the directors want to take various stories that have not been told in the Star Wars Universe.  Dark and Josie, I walked right by both of you at the Maple Ridge yesterday. I haven’t figured out a non awkward way to say hello, I know you from the internet as of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sodbuster Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) Just left ye olde Strand Theatre. Disney is knocking the anthology series movies out of the park. They should dump the next trilogy and just done three more of these. Edited May 27, 2018 by sodbuster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnkirishone Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 I thought it was ok. I do not understand the talk about how great it was. I rate it in the top half of star wars movies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robviously Posted May 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 It was really fun! Â The plot moved fast (I have no idea where the complaint about the first act being slow came from) and I liked that they played Han as clever but also cocky and in way over his head. Â It would have been easy to do this as a gritty origin story where Han is a total badass but I thought the lighter tone helped. Â I'm also really glad they finally made a SW movie that wasn't all about lightsabers or super weapons (even if they hedged their bet at the end by jamming a cameo in at the very end). Â Other stuff: The space train robbery was awesome and more of what I'd want out of new movies (i.e. actual inventive actions scenes that aren't remakes of original trilogy battles) They're doing an awesome job with character design (Lady Proxima, Enfys Nest, even Dryden Vos' scars) The humor was really well done (e.g. the Falcon flying away in the distance right when Han is making a point) Â My big complaint is that Star Wars suddenly has a villain problem. Â It's been four movies and they haven't introduced any new villain that was memorable or that you really wanted to see get their comeuppance. Â I guess Kylo Ren, but I think we're all just waiting for him to redeem himself versus hoping one of the heroes finally kills him.

TrueBlueGED Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Saw it today, and maybe this is just an example of how life is a function of expectations, but I enjoyed it quite a bit more than Rogue One and The Force Awakens. It was just fun,and I'm sad it's tanking at the box office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoPre Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Absolutely loved the Obi Wan Kenobi series.  Really great in terms of depicting the love-hate relationship between Vader and Obi Wan.  The fight in episode 6 is one of the better fights in the entire Star Wars franchise.  And as usual, Ewan McGregor’s performance as Obi Wan was fantastic.  Have high hopes a season 2 is made.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still a sucker for Star Wars live action stuff.  I enjoyed the Obi Wan Kenobi series.  And I agree, that episode 6 fight was terrific.  The series made up for the disappointing Boba Fett series.  And now I anxiously await the next season of The Mandalorian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) The Obi-Wan Kenobi Showbi was fun. It does cause a bit of a character issue for Leia. Luke is all mopey and she gives him a blanket --- but her planet just was blown up, she was tortured, and her super-companion has just self-sacrificed and disappeared! --- she's completely emotionless. That said, the show did have oodles of one of my favorite goofy film tropes: little kids running (and really, just jogging so they can stay cleanly in the camera shot, stopping and turning and looking back) and managing to easily outrun full-grown adults).
