Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
You can go back in this thread alone. You will see the disgusting glee at which certain posters constantly posted the now moronic articles.
if those articles appeared prior to reshooting what is routinely thought to be 70 percent of the movie after those articles came out, that somehow disproves the articles?
I dont remember seeing any follow up stories saying the movie was bad, but now is totally awesome, go see it. It's not a fair representation of what the final version is. And that absolutely contributed to the lower numbers
of course that would never happen. That would take a modicum of integrity from the reporters or from the posters who fell for it hook, line and sinker.
goose bump moment for me. I think I almost knocked my daughter over I smiled so wide
I actually thought he did a tremendous job. Han Solo was always....always my favorite character from the Star Wars universe. Harrison Ford is one of my all time favorite actors. This guy did a great job as a very young Han Solo. He even had the mannerisms down really well. I had an ear to ear smile on my face the entire time I watched this movie.
All the talk about needing a coach on the set got expectations so low, most people thought he did a pretty good job. I even said he did okay. He was pretty crappy though, or maybe it was just the dialog, but it was pretty terrible at points. The one part standing out to me right now is towards the beginning when he gets separated from Khalisi and was all yelling.
Pre-movie bull#### aside, he did a great job in the role. In a very, very hard role to fill.
Hmm. Second time this has come up in this thread. Seems like you must have missed that (a) Lando had the Falcon outfitted with an escape pod and (b) Han jettisoned it so that the giant maw creature would chase it down the maw instead of continuing to pursue the Falcon.
As we were driving home yesterday I was mentioning how the MF went from "one piece" to a pronged front, and I was starting to say "How did that even hap--....OH! It was when he released the escape pod as a distraction for that space monster!" So yeah, that was it.
Oh geez, totally missed that. Thanks!As we were driving home yesterday I was mentioning how the MF went from "one piece" to a pronged front, and I was starting to say "How did that even hap--....OH!

I really can't recommend the animated Clone Wars and Rebels enough. I went from movie-liking Star Wars nerd into these a couple years ago -- They were on my radar for a long time but I wanted to wait until my boy was old enough to watch them with me. They're great -- the backstory provided and context really help understand the otherwise forgettable plot presented of the abortion-worthy Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith movies.
So wait....Solo is after Maul "died" in Phantom Menace? I guess that flew way over my head.Most of his story we knew from Phantom Menace was all pre-Empire and the story that came to light with the Clone Wars has him in exile for a long time (spider legs in a garbage hole) and then as he is brought back to mental health (via Mother Talzin) and physical health (via robotic legs), he spent the rest of his days as kind of a freelance gangster. With he and Savage Opress wiping out the leaders of the Dark Sun syndicate forming the Shadow Collective, and the subsequent takeover of Mandalore / defeat of Pre Viszla / Maul head of the Mandalorian Death Watch -- I guess it's open to interpretation if Maul did all this for his own profit and power, or if it was solely a revenge path just to reel Kenobi in because of his affection for Duchess Satine Kryze. Obi Wan had a big ol jedi-boner for Satine, and (Spoilers abound, Duh: ) Maul winds up killing her in front of OWK's eyes shortly after Maul takes over the Death Watch.
The timeline of Maul appearing in the Solo movie is only about 10 years after Palpatine and Vader-by-way-of-Anakin teaming up at the end of Revenge of the Sith, and that is really where the Empire started. In the movie, Maul talks about Qi'ra returning to Dathomir (Maul's home planet, also home to his now-dead apprentice and former asskickinBroheim Savage Opress and the Nightsisters) -- No one on Dathomir is any really friend of the empire nor the Siths. They had a complicated (sometimes partnering but never trusting) relationship with Count Dooku / General Grevious and the Separatists -- Dooku's main assassin for a time was Asaaj Ventriss (a nightsister) and then Savage Opress was offered as a replacement after Dooku and Asaaj had a violent split. Dooku eventually orders an army to Dathomir and wipes out almost all of the Nightsisters.
Sometime inbetween the timeline of the end of Solo and the before the storyline of RogueOne/NewHope, Maul finds out Kenobi is on Tattooine (this would be somewhere in the window of Luke roughly being a 10-15 year old) -- Maul goes to Tattooine to face ObiWan out in the desert at night and Kenobi kills him for good this time.
So, my take (based on what we know via the Clone Wars and Rebels series, as well as speculation I've read otherwise ) is that Maul was not before, nor ever really part of the Empire, and the same goes for Crimson Dawn. Crimson Dawn is likely another crime faction, like the Maul-lead Shadow Collective. They do horrible stuff and they are legit "bad guys", but distinct from and not part of the Palpatine/Vader-centric Empire.
Maul did not really end up dying in Phantom Menace. He was put back together with robotic legs. He becomes a crime lord.
Yep. From the movies, Phantom Menace is the first one in the storyline. All the movies in chronological order:
The correlation between complaints and missing obvious things that happened in the movie is fairly strong in these threads.
Rebels has some slow parts but it’s a pretty amazing wrap-up. Haven’t seen clone wars yet.
I'm not sure this is a great sell but Clone Wars slow parts are even slower than Rebels.
Applause dot gif.So Smack Tripper puts out that one article over and over and quotes it like a priest quotes the Bible. Tripper swears nobody at Disney wants to see it because they hadn't released a trailer 6 months out, then they release the trailer during the Super Bowl. Movie comes out Memorial Weekend, three weeks after IW and a week after Dead Pool 2 and despite pretty much everyone in this thread saying it is a good to great movie (myself included), he says the box office vindicates his position. But the fact of the matter is the movie is really good and the article was a joke and didn't really say anything other than there was turmoil on the set (duh, the directors were fired). But despite all that, this was a really good movie I put right with Rogue One and right behind Empire and a New Hope.
The box office take really has nothing to do with the movie and everything to do with A) Timing of the release B) Very little pre-hype marketing by Disney C) Jackholes who took some click bate piece of trash articles as gospel and stood on their digital pulpits and preached as such.
But hey, keep doubling down brother. You are nothing if not committed. Totally and completely wrong, but committed. Cheers to you

The studio very literally did not say this.
You said the studio. The studio came out and denied it. You’re quoting an article with an anonymous source. There is a sizeable difference.
The rumor I read last night was that a proposed Mos eisley movie (I mean, GTFOH) was canned but plans for Obi Wan and Fett continue.
I like how you focus on Memorial Day and ignore the fact that it was released 3 weeks after IW and 1 week after Deadpool 2.
