I was just reading they think Solo is going to bomb. That’s the one I was concerned about because of you don’t nail the character you’re ****ed. I’m guessing that’s why we haven’t seen a trailer yet. If it’s that bad don’t release it or scrap the shit, start over, and release it later.

I haven't heard that it's bad.

As a matter of fact, it's exceeded expectations since Ron Howard took over.

If you had the opportunity to murder teenage Hitler and prevent Nazi Germany from killing over 10 million people, would you do it?

If you could see the future I suppose.

Should've just lifted the story of Jacen Solo for the trilogies. Have 7-9 be about the formation of the New Republic, Luke teaching the Skywalker and Solo kids, and finish the trilogy with the Yuuzhan Vong war. 10-12 is the formation of the Galactic Alliance and the rise of Darth Caedus.

JFC.

10 years ago I thought racism was dead in the US, but the internet has reminded me that old white people are PISSED about women and minorities infiltrating their media.

Anything would have been better than the garbage that Rian Johnson delivered.

I really want him to explain why the First Order didn't send all their TIE fighters after the Resistance. Or hyperspace more ships to the battle. Or hyperspace Snoke's ship closer.\

Maybe Snoke didn't know he could do that the same way he didn't know that he had the ability to track the rebels through hyperspace...

I don’t know if this is reputable or not. I do have concerns that they fired the original director and brought Howard into save it. Also, it’s extremely hard to recreate an iconic character like that. I 100% hope they nail it.

It can be explained. Doesn’t make it any more enjoyable. The film was a mess and I (like millions of others) think it was boring and stupid. Doesn’t mean I can’t have “fun” at a Star Wars movie (I really enjoyed Rogue One), just that this movie didn’t work for me. If you can look past the flaws and you like it then you should go see it again. Doesn’t bother me if you enjoy it.
