Who cares at this point?


The only plus side at this point is that the prequels are now looking less-horrible in comparison. Other than that... the original concept has been diluted down to being store brand entertainment mayonnaise. If we get a good movie, great. Another sucky chapter in this Star Wars afterlife? Who cares.

Han was the cool sarcastic smart arse. He wasn't a comedian. Not saying that is what you meant but if you watched Rian Johnson's TLJ you should know what his type of humor is. "so funny" doesn't sound like Han but it could be bad wording from Rian.


I agree. TLJ's humor was lazy, sloppy, and forced. Han's was organic and fit the character. That's why I think Solo should be a funny movie.

The scene with Han and Chewie and that monster escaping just feels out of place.



Only scene I skip on a rewatch

Han wasn't funny. He was sarcastic. That is why lord and Miller were fired apparently. They tried to make him a comedian.

Allegedly Howard changed it. We will see. I'm not expecting Much.

I agree in theory, but hot damn did they deliver on that shaky premise with a really great movie. Rogue One is the only movie since the original trilogy that holds up. It’s one of my favorite movies from the 2010’s.


I just didn't care for it much. Maybe it's because I watched it on a flight.

Not that I was planning on seeing it in the theaters, but my level of interest just dissipated a little bit more.

My biggest fear with this movie is that it is going to paint Han as a fun loving hero of the day. This just shits on the redemption story that arced across the original trilogy. He didn't shoot first because he thought he was about to get shot. He shot first because he was not a good person.

You should definitely watch it again. The bigger the tv screen you can find to watch it on, the better.

This. Han should be morally grey. If he's "the hero", it's only to save his own skin or turn a profit. He's a rogue, a classic outlaw from a Western.

Unpopular opinion: Han Solo and Tommy Lillard from "The Frisco Kid" are the same character.

2. Why does Star Wars want to be "so funny"?



Because every marvel movie shoehorns comedy at every turn and they make tons of money and get good RT scores. Idiots lap it up so they have made the same movie 50 times and have decided to make marvel movies with a Star Wars name. Thanks comic book fans

I’m not sure he’s the guy we want endorsing this movie.

I love Star Wars, but if the audience rating on RT sucks I plan on skipping it.
