I feel myself warming to the idea of picking this up at a later date, but then I skim read and see the above comment about Darth Maul and I don’t like the idea as much.
Personally Leia should have been more powerful, and maybe dragged back in Ackbar and some other people before closing up the hole. Then she could have the nap.
Now I understand what they mean by cursed image.
That’s more horrifying than the Predator Blu-Ray!
Augh don’t remind me…
From Naci Caba:-
Nice. I like the old novelization style.
Yeah you caught me editing the typo. I’ve heard this general rule plenty of times when it comes to blockbusters, I think it’s safe to presume.
Then again, I’d be nervous if any film I produced had a six-figure loss.
It’s not a loss though. It just didn’t meet projections. Maybe they needed to rethink their projections.
If they spent 500 million on it then that is a loss.
I don’t understand why so many people here are so eager to paint Solo as if it isn’t a box office failure. It’s not like any of you have a personal stake in it.
There are?
A box office failure is usually when a film doesn’t make it’s money back, yes? Well, we don’t know what the film cost, do we? (do we?) I don’t know where the ‘$500m’ figure comes from I see bandied around - a guess? (someone replicated the cost of Rogue One and added extra on for the re-shoots, maybe?)
Solo has certainly under-performed - in context it could be said it has flopped in comparison to the other recent releases - yet did anyone expect it get near the ST figures - or even R1? I imagine the big-wigs will be looking into it and trying to address it, should they feel the need?
Personally, I don’t care too much - it’s not like Disney is going to pull the plug on future Star Wars films after 1 under-performing film (despite many articles stating it would) after the 4 released so far - so we’ll still be very likely getting more SW content in the future (which is something I’d like to see).
Solo has flopped, there’s nothing more to be said. A film needs to make double its budget just to break even, then they can start counting profits. Roughly speaking if Solo cost 400 mil and only made 300, then that’s a 500 mil loss. Aka a box office bomb. You can still like it.
I’m guessing this is the playlist you’re looking for

Does he mean microscopic or macrobiotic??
Oh jeez, so it just is more midichlorians.
The paint strokes are very broad and its guts seem to be made of molten fire so I think it’s fine.
That TLJ piece is pretty good, but maybe a bit too oversaturated.
So presumably it’s just a makeshift version to be holstered in the non action scenes then, rather than one that operates or the kind Harrison is using in all the publicity photos.
Is that a real prop?
I read somewhere that Ron Howard was hired specifically to meet the previously agreed May release date.
I can’t tell if you’re kidding or not. Almost all of these are ‘because it’s a movie’. You just have to use your powers of inference.
Do people still use the word ‘flame’ on the internet these days? That’s a word I haven’t heard in a long time…
I found it half laughable half disgusting but it wasn’t painfully out of place like Leias return from space death scene
When I saw that scene my first thought was that she was force pulling herself to the ship. Why any SW fan would think it was something else is beyond me.
Agreed. Plus the classic theme was a nice touch.
This is the best.
It’s the pan pipes version they’re thinking of unfortunately.
I was at work and you could just about here this playing from outside the office.
And then someone randomly said… “this reminds me of the end of Star Wars…”
Hahaha yeah this stuff is everywhere today

TVs Frink doesn’t even want to know what Possessed thinks about Sluggo.
I too liked it though. It wasn’t perfect, but it was fun. The characters were all good. The plot was iffy, but ah well.
Can I “like” this post? And Frink’s post as well? Is there some C++ I can type in to make that work? Or some javas?
The forum is low on hypertexts.
The words Sith Lord should have been left on the cutting room floor.
Yeah, not an EU issue.
Not any more, no.

Can’t decide if the pose is more Super Mario or Brucie Bonus
Who came out with the claim that she was harassed? I can’t find her statement on it anywhere, only articles based on speculations. But if it’s true, I fully agree - I think TLJ is the worst Star Wars movie (yes, I think the prequels are better), but I would NEVER EVER go and attack (physically or verbally) anybody involved with the production, that’s just really, really dumb. What happened to the good old “vote with your wallet” thing? AKA “if you don’t like it, don’t buy it”? That’s the only reasonable approach in my not so humble opinion, going after somebody makes you look like a lunatic
They have a brand to maintain, it can’t be watered down with talk of multiple visions.
