Yeah yeah I know we have the leak thread and the Megathread. This is the thread for discussion of the movie once you view it, which I am doing in 15 minutes.

Let’s get it over with folks.

Okay quick short review:

It’s not great, it’s not TLJ/Solo horrible, I’d say it’s right around ROTS which is where I felt it would be. There were some genuinely great moments, some horrible moments (you’ve already seen them), and a whole lot of just there moments.

Lots of missed opportunities and you can tell they splicedtogether several different versions of the story together.

I will say, I love that Mark Hamill got to essentially say frick You loud and clear to Rian Johnson.

We need a non-spoiler thread as well.

It is going to take a ton of good reviews for me to risk going and seeing this in theater.

I'm in line with you on that. The reviews have been a mixed bag so far and I am really leaning towards not bothering. I might see what other movie lines up with the starting time and sneak in to not give them money.

We need a no one cares about Star Wars thread, too. All of these threads about not caring about Star Wars anymore are flooding the board.

I don't think it's that nobody cares;

it's that they DO care, and hate what has happened to it.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to describe it-
perhaps if they made a "007" movie, but 007 is no longer James Bond. It's a chick instead, and we learn that Bond is a retired alcoholic bum living in a nursing home or on the streets, after selling top-secret info to both the USSR and Spectre. And the new 007 is busy exposing all the naughty things the US and GB did in the Cold War, which makes them look awful.
Yeah, let's do that next.

Adam Driver deserved better from this trilogy. He owned every scene he was in. Hopefully his career take an uptick following this.

This also frees up the Star Wars universe for stories post DT and apparently that is where Kevin Fiege wants to make his contribution to it all.

Ok well maybe we need a bitching thread and save this one for people who have actually seen the movie. Just a thought

That requires common sense and not acting like women, you think this group can handle that task?

This movie did minimize Rose and kept her lines short and simple.

Solo horrible


For fricks sake. The only thing horrible about Solo was the timing of its release. It wasn't a bad movie. Not great, but people shite on it for absolutely no quality reason.
