Some footage was shown to a small audience in Munich. Here’s one reaction:

I just saw a Sneak Peak (EPK reel) of “SOLO - A Star Wars Story” and I must say I’m really really overwhelmed of how freaggin good it looks! (nothing about the story yet!)
Alden Ehrenreich is amazing as Han Solo, and so is Donald Glover as Lando, Emilia Clarke and Woody Harrelson look awesome and it definitely had an “old” Star Wars Feel to it!!
Looks like this could be the fan-service-movie some of the older Star Wars fans wanted from Episode VIII 😉
Can’t wait for an official trailer and it’s only 4 months (!!) to release! OMG!!

I don’t want it to end! =’(

Yeah that makes no sense. Unless the trailer consists entirely of pick-up shots there’s no reason that would delay a trailer release for a film that’s already finished its main shooting schedule.

At once something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight.

Creepy CGI Cushing looks more like him than this.

FTFY I had to get a better look.

Or you could think of them as McQuarrie X-Wings:

😉

This is by far my favorite R1 poster:

Meant to share this before last week:

Just finished my rewatch of Iron Man (2008).

It’s been a long while since I last revisited the film that started it all. The break was a good one, this is a solid film that still holds up today. It’s funny to realize how much has happened in the last 10 years. The state of cellphone technology, dated social media network references, the scale of fight scenes. The big end battle was such a revelation at the time but is quite a small engagement by today’s standards. The earlier anti-terrorist fights however are still brilliant. Overall, excellent film that started the ball rolling with important character development that has continued on and throughout the rest of the MCU.

I guarantee you ray doesn’t care. I really don’t either. I know everyone says the cartoon gets better as it goes along, and maybe that’s true, but I could barely finish season 1.

It doesn’t get better, it just beats your mind into a numb pulp as it goes along.

Amazing. Every word of what you just said…was wrong.

He could always fiddle with the settings on his helmet and the classic Fett voice comes out. 😉

Jason Wingreen is no more sadly. 😦

I never understood why Boba Fett would want to sound like a clone anyway. Tells way too much about him. Maybe we will be lucky and he’ll be silent the whole time.

I’m sure a sound alike can be found. The Fett movie depends on it!

Jeremy Bulloch actually does a pretty good Jason Wingreen impression. Imagine bringing him on to do that. Would keep the onscreen legacy of the character intact in such a wonderfully unconventional way.

Is Frink a secret Englishman?

Someone was able to get the character names off those Lego sets.

While Were-Monster was hands down the best thing about last season. I wouldn’t promote that one episode over the rest of the series. =P

It won’t help. He willfully ignores or retcons so much - including stuff he just introduced two years ago in season 10! (Which itself retconned a fuck ton from the original run.)

I have to have a clear recollection of everything in order to be properly annoyed! =P

Also, handy tip for anyone interested. You can watch the entire series free on Fox’s website!

The paint scheme is reminiscent of the one it had in ROTS:

However, other than the color, I think they’re going to be ignoring everything else about it.

I get the feeling in the film we’re going to learn that YT-1300 freighters come stock with that front covering and that Han removes it as part of his “special modifications.” Basically, I see the Falcon as the Star Wars equivalent of a hot rod:

And I can totally see an homage to this scene playing out in the film.

oh joy. I’m currently doing a quick run through of the mytharc to catch back up before diving in.

Order of preference/genre. I keep my favorite films furthest to the right where they’re easier to reach from the shelf.

Actually, I probably watch a few more than that, but most are watched in 30 minute increments over a week at 5am.

Yippee-Ki-Yay, Moof-Milker! 😛

This thread needs something…

I reckon it would be very easy for the writer’s to end up turning Han and Lando into a parody of their saga characters, but I’m hoping for the best.

You know this was written by Lawrence Kasdan right? One would think he’d be the most qualified person for the job…

Collipso said:

Rey kicking Kylo’s butt makes him seem very weak period. Plus there is no plausible explanation. But this thread isn’t the place for this kind of discussion.

You mean besides the fact that he was severely wounded and bleeding out from a shot to the torso that was previously established to carry enough force to toss multiple troops into the air? And a mental wreck after just murdering his own father?

But you’re right, wrong thread for this discussion.
