Well… Yes. What I mean is why Criterion? Are they big SW fans or fans of bad puns? You could just do it with anything.
The Manchurian Candidate and 120 Days of Sodom are titles of films.
I guess people find it funny to put Star Wars references in them.
What’s the internal temperature of a TaunTaun? Luke warm.

Isn’t that the raison d’être of memes?

Not really, they usually have a single root that slowly grows outwards. I just wondered what that might be.
I mean the joke is quite simple: let’s take critically acclaimed films dealing with very mature subject matter, and make them silly with Star Wars references. Someone started doing it and enough people thought it was funny to continue. It’s kinda like the old “you’re the man now dog” meme.

Proto-meme!

to be fair, i think the prequels would benefit immensely if the cgi was remade.
I agree. A recoloring and updated CGI would be nice.
I have a feeling they will remake the entire saga one day.
Why? They have a franchise with endless potential for new stories.
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.

And yet their first inclination was to make a prequel that ends literally ten minutes before the start of A New Hope.
You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.
Episode 9 Rewrite, The Starlight Project (Released!) and ANH Technicolor Project (Released!)

but it was a very well received movie, so… ?
And it WAS a new story. Nobody said new stories have to be set in a dramatically different time from the OT.

The same is true for the Predator series, and look what we’ve gotten so far.
I wouldn’t know. I’ve never seen the predator series. But as I understand it, Predator isn’t a timeless classic.

Where were you in '77?
Predator isn’t a timeless classic.
How dare you!
I am proud to say I remember the 80’s!

It’s not. It’s a cult classic. Which means it’s not that great but a vocal minority love it.

And yet they have the urge to explain how Han won the Falcon.

so i assume you won’t watch it then.

Solo isn’t just the scene of Han winning the Falcon, even if that scene is indicative of the conservative approach Disney is making with the standalone movies. There may be other scenes in Solo that would make it enjoyable, even if the movie is quite unnecessary. But I don’t have high hopes.
All movies are unnecessary.
I knew someone would say that.
What I mean by “unnecessary” is that, on my priority list, “a movie set in a different era with different characters” or “a movie set in the OT era but with themes and characters that are in no way connectd to the OT” is much higher than “let’s have a movie about a younger Han Solo and Chewbacca, and, oh, let’s add some pointless fanservice like how Han won the Falcon”. And that isn’t even the worst bit (I have read a certain godawful spoiler, but, it’s a spoiler after all).
Unnecessary to you I guess then. For these side stories, I just wanna have a good time at the movies, and this looks fun. I don’t care about “pointless fanservice” the way you’ve defined it. Why wouldn’t how Han won the Falcon be part of the story anyway?
If you want to just call the fact that they even made the movie fanservice, sure, ok.
I guess because you can still make a prequel movie set in the pre-Rebellion days of Han without involving a reference from Empire and Han meeting the Falcon for the first time. In other words, something like the old Han Solo Adventures where Han already had the Falcon, but before he met Leia and Luke.
It would still be a prequel, and probably “unnecessary”, but at least it would just be a fun movie, like the old spirit of the franchise in the pre-oEU days.
