Love it or hate it, that’s just how movie franchises work now, they follow comic-rules.

And if they expect me to just deal with it, they can expect to lose my viewership, and money. Movies should work on their own, without setting up some other movie that exists to set-up five other movies.

They’re the movie equivalent to McDonalds. You enjoy it for what it is. Star Wars shouldn’t be that.

It’s true. All of it.

Just saw it. I thought it was fun enough, though sometimes boring and pointless, but mostly harmless. And then Kira betrayed Han for fucking [first name] Darth [last name] Maul. I almost lol’d in the theater.

JEDIT: To clarify, Kira didn’t betray Han because he fucked Darth Maul… awk

It might be difficult to accept, but for most moviegoers outside the hardcore fanbase, Star Wars is McDonald’s. They consume it, enjoy it for what it is, then get on with their lives. They don’t debate the merits of the movie for decades afterwards in forums.

Frankly, I’m amazed at how Marvel can link everything together and have it remain fairly consistent and good enough for most people to enjoy it (like fast food).

TFA was like a Big Mac at two in the morning after the bars let out. TLJ was closer to a McDonald’s salad: some healthy stuff in there, but not terribly satisfying.

Haven’t seen Solo yet, so I can’t really say, but it sounds like maybe it’s the Filet-O-Fish?

I like Filet-O-Fish. It’s the only McD’s I will eat. 😃

Is the ’ just there for exoticism? They don’t pronounce any kind of glottal stop or pause in the movie. Dumb.

No dumber than most other Star Wars names.

Luke and Leia excepted, I suppose.

I don’t mind the name for a SW character. It fits. But why the hell spell it that way? Spelled like that it should be pronounced Kir(pause)a

They didn’t want people to mistake her for some other Kira? 😉

I read somewhere that Ron Howard was hired specifically to meet the previously agreed May release date.

Most of that seems plausible but this bit in particular (quoted form the original Star Wars News Net article) seems somewhat questionable:

Disney is done experimenting with new or unusual filmmakers and will go back to proven veteran talent who they know can handle a big budget Star Wars production in an effort to prevent future production chaos, drama, and firings.

I’m not sure if that totally makes sense. First of all, Disney is has been working with tons of “new or unusual filmmakers” at Marvel. Second, by all accounts the smoothest (and also possibly cheapest) production LFL has had since its new management has been TLJ, and Rian Johnson is easily the most unusual filmmaker they’ve hired, and arguably the least tested of any at the initial point of hiring. Whereas even with someone like JJ Abrams, who’s one of the top veteran talents out there, TFA featured a fair share of production chaos and drama (though I guess crucially not firings).

Anyway, point being, I don’t know how reliable that tidbit is. And if it is true, might not be the soundest decision.

I guess it all depends on how much Disney actually micromanages things?
