Nothing wrong with it being new in the film but how do you explain it having the front filled in

... huh?

For as long as I have been alive, I have heard that Falcon referred to as an "illegally modified YT cruiser."

I always imagined one of those "illegal modifications" is putting a giant weapon system at the front of a cargo ship. You know, like putting a canon on top of an 18 wheeler?

I was about to post the same thing. The ship was designed that way for a reason. Not sure why they fricked with something else.

I've only heard this once on the rogue squadron n64 game. people who like star wars books and games need to understand that they're an addendum into the movie. multi platform marketing aside, we're talking about the movies.

i always imagined that han was half bullshitting and any modifications he made were along the lines of making it better for carrying drugs and things you can't see to make it faster...imagination is always best for irrelevant things like this. i don't want or need a movie to fill in those details for me

Maybe we get to see it modified in the film.

You’re over it? But you’re still posting and bitching on every page of every thread referencing Star Wars since tLJ came out?

this isn't a last jedi thread

No shite. That’s doesn’t make what I posted any less true.

You’ve been all over every thread I’ve looked at bitching since it came out. Doesn’t matter if it’s tLJ related or not

As for the rest of your post, you could go apply to be a writer for Disney if you think you know the best way to take the franchise. Or remake your own and have Fox’s Star Wars Eps 7-9. Otherwise get the frick over it

You and all the other Star Wars obsessions and bashing the past 2 months have made this board change from the first place I would check for movie/tv news to the last.

This is what happens when you watch at best poorly researched and at worst purposely false youtube conspiracy videos and don't do research yourself. I am not Christian, but even know this one is full of shite.

You are easily impressed. The trailer showed almost nothing.

To us, famous to us...the audience


I mean at one time the ship was new.. Possibly they are wanting to show the audience how the Falcon progressed into said hunk of junk.

quote:

it won’t look cool which is why people, normal people, dig it


What?? The legends account of the Falcon is only that it has been a problem ship from the day it was created.. In legends this ship nearly destroyed the factory it was being built in , thus the start of its finicky existence.. Even a casual fan would appreciate a 1-2 min snippet of backstory on that.


quote:

One line really sums up the appeal... “it’s the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy” it’s a total piece but in an endearing way like the guy who names his 30 year old piece of shite car People in the movies are never impressed but the owner thinks she’s a beauty...and so does the audience in this case because space ships aren’t real so we don’t know any better.


You're really reading entirely too far into this now.. I was merely stating that the line was simply a haha moment for fans.. that's it.. nothing more.

What do we have to do for you not to check it anymore and quit posting?

Jesus, that looks like it came from central casting at the SyFy channel.

Like Flash Gordon: The Series bad.



Nah dude have you been reading this board at all? Seriously? The guy that was an ensemble character in a relatively unknown short lived cult comedy who also made a CD almost no one listened to and is in the background of one scene in Spiderman is the most dominant and talented and charismatic human to ever exist in Hollywood.
