As much as I love the Han Solo character, this was the movie I never asked for. Watching the trailer still hasn't won me over. A Star Wars heist movie. Can't Disney just stop fucking around with the Star Wars franchise for at least half a decade?
They could have done his relationship and training and adventures with Anakin Skylwalker from childhood to adult as a movie.Rangaman said:Next up, Kenobi. A film about one man alone in desert for twenty years.
I can totally see that as an arthouse movie with the contrast trained up way too high, extreme light/dark symbolism, with maybe 20 spoken lines over 90 minutes of movie and just loads of meaningful shots of an aging man brooding over his mistakes. Oh, and at least one scene where Obi-Wan walks around the desert for A Really Long Time in a clear allegory to Moses.Rangaman said:Next up, Kenobi.

No joke, I think that could actually be awesome if done right.Rangaman said:Next up, Kenobi. A film about one man alone in desert for twenty years.
It's funny, the EU took that joke from the Christmas Special and made it EU cannon. I believe it was something like his name was Lumpawaraump, until he passed his Wookie "manhood hunter" or whatever ritual and earned his adult name Lumpawaroo. I wish I could remember which books those were in so I could check the spelling.undeadsuitor said:oh shit you're right, his son was named Lumpy. His father(in law?) was named CrunchieKyrian007 said:I thought his son was named Lumpy... or did he have more than one kid, I forget.undeadsuitor said:That was more a joke about the infamous star wars Christmas special, which had chewbaccas family (including a son named crunchie) celebrate life dayJadak said:Chewie was out and about in the prequels, probably need to wait for a film going back a bit further for his origin story.undeadsuitor said:But what about Chewies family?
I want to know his origin story.

Ughh, Black Fleet Crisis. Nevermind. There isn't a EU book or series that better illustrates why Disney axed the whole EU than Black Fleet Crisis.Hawki said:http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lumpawaroo/LegendsKyrian007 said:I believe it was something like his name was Lumpawaraump, until he passed his Wookie "manhood hunter" or whatever ritual and earned his adult name Lumpawaroo.

Kenobi wasn't already a Biblical allegory?Gethsemani said:I can totally see that as an arthouse movie with the contrast trained up way too high, extreme light/dark symbolism, with maybe 20 spoken lines over 90 minutes of movie and just loads of meaningful shots of an aging man brooding over his mistakes.

Or more like Rogue One, at least has some pretty shots to make up for it's trash writing and story.Veldie said:Not the best trailer but hopefully it turns out like Rogue One and being quite good.
I am so pissed at Lando having not been in any of the Sequel trilogy (the worst Star Wars movies so far) that Ron Howard (a director I like) doing a back story about a character I like (Han) and including the best Rebel in Star Wars (Lando) has been enough to have me on the hype train even through the reshoots.Bernzz said:I'm cautiously positive. This is still the most unsure about a Star Wars film that I've been so far, but the trailer made me feel a bit better about it. His voice is jarring, but he's got some of the mannerisms down (the cocky ass smirk, some speech pattern stuff) and he looks close enough for me.
Donald Glover as Lando is officially my favourite thing so far, though.
