Listen up bitches: There was ALWAYS going to be a son of Han and Leia, strong in the force, and trained by Luke, and gone oh so wrong. That was etched in stone LONG before any of you ****ers ever walked in to a Mouse House Movie get-down. In the end; we won.

The problem for me is the set up of the next and final film of this trilogy currently does not draw my interest whatsoever. Where could they possibly go with Ren and Rey? We now have our good and bad guys. Ren will be big and bad and evil, but never fear the light will win out. I would love for the final act to be incredibly dark and defeating. It would be fantastic as a fan to see the Dark side win, and Rey forced into hiding at the end of the film similar to what occurred with Obi Wan, only she could use this time to become an incredibly powerful Jedi, and maybe even train some younglings without ****ing murdering them. It would be sort of a similar set up to how the prequels ended. The next trilogy or TV series could start with the state of the universe worse than it was in A New Hope. Or something that probably couldn't be told in a single trilogy, but to see the bad guys win, then see a schism occur within the Frist Order. It could invite some interesting moral quandaries for any future rebels. They may have to team up with one side of evil to take down the other. Obviously, I have no ****ing clue what I'm talking about, but I would like to see some less obvious story arcs taken in the Star Wars universe because we are going to see a shit load of it in the next decade.

The dark never wins the trilogy in canon. Is what it is.

I thought it would've been cool if Kylo just helped Rey slaughter some First Order fools and fight Snoke but ultimately not choose to join the Rebellion out of disgrace
they went with the GOTCHA he's helping her DOUBLE GOTCHA he's just pure evil and ultimately one dimensional at the end of the day |

The Last Jedi's Gargantuan $151M 2nd Weekend Plunge Is An Epic Hollywood Choke The scale of the catastrophe that is Star Wars: The Last Jedi is difficult to comprehend without comparing it to major, historic natural disasters. Because no other movie has come anywhere close to the picture’s $151.5 million 2nd weekend box office razing, there’s no movie comparison that gives its record-obliterating failure proper context. To begin to appreciate the epic nature of the Last Jedi catastrophe, consider the 9.2 magnitude megathrust 1964 Good Friday earthquake near Anchorage, Alaska. That was such a massive catastrophe that it killed Oregonians and Californians more than 1,000 miles away. It may seem odd to compare a movie that has earned nearly $400 million in domestic box office receipts to such a giant calamity, but that total represents a tremendous shortfall relative to expectations. The important numbers to look at are the measures of the movie’s collapse. That $400 million looks good only if we ignore the results of every previous Star Wars movie. But a closer look at the numbers reveals what a debacle The Last Jedi truly is. It’s not just the movie’s 69 percent 2nd weekend plunge that underscores its troubles. True, it’s an enormous decline, but a dozen other big-budgeted, heavily marketed studio tent-pole movies (out of the thousands Hollywood has produced) have seen similarly sized percentage declines. They include Fifty Shades of Grey, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and three of the Twilight movies. It’s more the absolute number, the $151.5 million plunge from its $220 million debut to its $68.5 million second weekend, that staggers the imagination. Only a handful of movies—The Last Jedi, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2, and Batman v Superman among them, have ever shed $100 million or more in box office totals from one weekend to the next. But even the 2nd biggest collapse, that of the Harry Potter film, paled in comparison to The Last Jedi, falling than 25 percent short of Episode VIII’s fiasco. |

Star Wars: Source Claims Disney Preparing For 'Solo' to "Bomb" Following the announcement from Lucasfilm that directing duo Phil Lord and Chris Miller were departing the Han Solo spin-off film, fans have been anxious over the state of the production. As the film is currently in post-production, one reported source close to the film claims that Disney anticipates that the film is a "car crash" and it will be a massive "bomb." "Disney is bracing themselves for the Han Solo movie to bomb," the source told ScreenGeek. "They were worried about it before all The Last Jedi controversy, but now they’re essentially writing Solo off. The lead actor, Alden Ehrenreich, can’t act, and they had a dialogue coach on hand for all of his scenes. On top of that, the script is unworkable. It’s going to be a car crash." It's unclear the authenticity of the source, yet these claims sound like the fears many have about the production. Lord and Miller was a choice many fans were excited for, as they were behind the 21 Jump Street films and The LEGO Movie. Unfortunately, rumors about their departure from the film seem to be rooted in their comedic talents and encouragement of the cast to improvise during their scenes. This comedic tone was reportedly deviating too far from Lucasfilm's vision for the smuggler's story, requiring re-shoots to bring the film back on track. As the directors were uninterested in "correcting" their work, the studio parted ways with the filmmakers. Ron Howard stepped in shortly after the announcement to not only complete the film as written, but also helm the re-shoots of certain scenes Lord and Miller already finished. Despite Howard coming on board the production with only a few weeks of shooting left, the film didn't wrap for nearly four months. Earlier this month, the latest installment in the Skywalker Saga, The Last Jedi, had created immense amounts of anticipation from devout and casual Star Wars fans alike. Following its release, a small but vocal group of audiences expressed their displeasure at the deviation from their expectations so strongly that the film's audience score on Rotten Tomatoes has dropped to the lowest in the entire franchise. Between the public troubled production of Solo and recent disappointment with Lucasfilm, it's entirely possible Disney and Lucasfilm are expecting the worst from the film. Solo: A Star Wars Story hits theaters on May 25, 2018. |
