Don’t trust Duracell’s dictionary. It’s probably in Canadian English.

Not including my first ever viewing (99 before seeing TPM), which could have been either the OUT or the SE, I never saw the OUT until last summer.
Padme is still a queen of Naboo
Opening crawl:
The Nubian constitution has been AMENDED. After a long political battle arbitrated by a wise JEDI MASTER, democracy has been undermined by the removal of executive term limits. Nubians must now decide whether to launch a popular revolution against the young queen, a move which threatens to send the Galactic Senate into bitter DEBATE. . . .
Out of curiosity, why do you think AOTC is the best prequel?
Because it doesn’t matter
Or simply call it Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return of The Jedi and so on. What’s so hard about that?
That’s not how George Lucas wants you to do it. Duh.
lol
No source is revisionist color timing proof. Maybe a greater chance of accidental mistiming from the o-neg, but there’s already so much variation in different types of prints that were shown, and I frankly don’t care if Leia’s blush is 1/8 shade too red.
Well I don’t know what it says about me because I’m constantly changing my mind on which I like better.
It means you’re a fake fan. You probably like those sh***y Disney rehashes too.
Ha!
The only one I get is the last one. Great flik
Where the death sticks burn and the blue milk chases my blues away.
So I just had a random thought when looking through the DVD cover / artwork subforum and came across the image again showing the confirmed movie name of “SOLO” - its obviously meant as a play on the title itself, being a single word title but I’m thinking it will have another if not more connotations within the movie itself such as Han starting out “solo” by himself and not hooking up with Chewie until later in the movie.
What do others think and are there any other examples where you think this play on the title has been worked into the story or comments on some aspect of it?

I think the name Solo has been intended as such since the first movie.
What about Han Solo: Sorry About the Mess
I think he’s talking about the scream to scare off the Tusken Raiders.
Yes
I seriously doubt any anthology movie will have a crawl unless it’s part of its own self-contained series (like, say, the Old Republic trilogy that I’m still convinced they’ll do between Episodes IX and X).
It was a joke. Making fun of everyone who found Rogue One unoriginal but also were mad there was no crawl.
I kind of enjoy the microseries, but every scene in Star Wars in which Jedi kill robots is is ludicrous.
WYSHS
how similar to the ESB design the title has.
Yeah, can’t Disney do anything original? F***ing rehash.
Also there better be a crawl.
Why not call it something like Little Wing or Kessel Run or Space Race or something that is just a normal title? Why does it have to include Han’s name. From a marketing purpose I know why, but from an artistic point of view it’s forced.
Indiana Jones Syndrome
[replying to original post]
I don’t really care. All it really does is prove that George was wrong about Star Wars being some super big planned out epic. Turns out its just a serial, always more of the same. Beat one bad guy, move onto the next.I could go on and on.
Yoda is a puppet, yoda is a cartoon. Ben Kenobi sounds like a fucking boss, Ben Kenobi sounds like a fucking synthesizer. The Emperor is a monkey, the Emperor is a human. Cloud City has no windows, Cloud City has windows. Lando says ‘attention’ once, Lando says ‘attention’ twice. . . .
The fact that this is all we’ve been debating for the last couple pages suggests this was a pretty good film.
I also wish all the characters in star wars didn’t know each other. Just give me random people shooting at each other… in space!
I mean, I guess the SW SE poster is alright, and ESB would’ve been pretty neat except for the weird ass Emperor image. ROTJ SE poster looks like vomit.
To be fair, most DVD art is bad. I don’t know why they don’t just repurpose theatrical posters. Would be cheaper.
I never looked at the GOUT covers so closely. God, those are awful.
I’m saying he can inquire there as to whether there is a short people thread. Three time. It’s very important to me. 😛
