Also, I realized today that the guy hired to direct Episode IX is the same guy who directed Jurassic World, and now I am deeply worried.
Hmm. He also did Safety Not Guaranteed, which I enjoyed, but is not in any way similar to a Star Wars movie.

I enjoyed Jurassic World but I get why some people didn't. But with that said, I haven't heard that many complain about his directing. Even some of the people who disliked the film thought the directing was fine and even admitted to capturing some of that Jurassic Park-magic, but had problems with the script or certain plot points. While he's not on a level of a Rian Johnson, I think he will deliver an enjoyable movie, and hopefully with a good script it will be better than Jurassic World (which I still enjoyed).

Yeah, I think the script, more than anything else, was the issue with Jurassic World. I don't think it was a great movie by any means, but it excited me more than any Jurassic movie since the original.

I also hope that the color grading of Jurassic World wasn't his decision. One might think that that doesn't matter, but it plays a pretty big part in the overall tone of a movie. And with Jurassic World's orange-and-teal grading it made it all seem fake and lacking in realistic weight. In comparison, the original uses natural color grading, and it looks all the more realistic for it.

Plus the script is freakin' ridiculous, of course. And everything was CGI so a lot of it looked fake to begin with.

I really enjoyed Jurassic World. It was an entertaining film about dinosaurs eating people.

I liked it in the cinema. I haven't seen it since.

However - I predict that The Han Solo movie will do much less business than Rogue One.

R1 featured Vader and that was the big draw I think.

Does anyone want to see Han Solo being played by someone other than Harrison Ford ?

They'll probably put loads of wink wink stuff in the trailer to get people in like a young Greedo or Jabba etc...

I think you're probably right - R1 had Vader, and it was set in familiar territory to appeal to fans of the OT. The Han Solo movie is a riskier prospect, as it's going to be recasting an iconic character. (Two, if you consider Lando to be iconic too.)

I've said it before in this thread, but this movie might end up telling a story I don't think needs to be told. There's a danger of losing a lot of the enigmatic qualities of the Han Solo character by going back and showing every little thing that happened to him, to get him to the point where he's introduced in Ep IV.

I'm happy enough knowing the Kessel Run is something that happened, and that he won the Millennium Falcon from Lando in some sort of gambling match. If those things are just touched on in this movie, as part of a bigger story, then fine, but if the whole movie is made up of bits that have already been alluded to in other movies, then it's going to fall flat for me..

Not particularly, but I'm prepared to give this new guy a chance.

I will definitely see the Han Solo movie, but I'm much more interested in seeing Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian than Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo, and actually I would be more interested in a Lando film than a Han Solo film.

I agree and I think they'll be smart to market it as sci-fi buddy film more than an origin story for Han Solo.

Didn't see it mentioned in the last posts - translations for The Last Jedi in foreign languages are popping up.

They reveal something that the neutral english form couldn't: it's plural. The Last Jedi is not one (Luke?), they're more than one (Luke, Rey and maybe more?).

So if the word Jedi had a plural form, the title would have been The last Jedis.

It seems that the title has been translated to German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese using the plural form of "Jedi".

I need reading comprehension.  I saw what was posted before, but thought that it was still undecided.

Besides, I posted a Link, so my post is better.  Always cite your sources.

That makes sense. "Jedis" sounds weird

I bought the recent Star Wars Humble Bundle and love it! So many awesome titles to play and replay (only in the case of Rogue Squadron/The Force Unleashed and KOTOR). That said, I already had KOTOR II in my library, so does anyone want a free copy? You don't need to play the first one to get the story, and unless you have an ancient PC, pretty much all computers can run it. Awesome RPG with some fantastic lore, music and gameplay. It's obviously a bit dated but it's nothing too archaic, and in my opinion it is well beyond worth the dated visuals and slightly clunky gameplay to experience the story and great adventure.

Anyway, even if you just wanna try it, just give me a PM, all I ask for is a reach around.










No but seriously please someone take it so it's not just sitting there not being used, it's a free game. All my friends have played it or still have it so...

I would take it, since I don't have it attached to my Steam account, but I've played it before and I'd rather it go to someone who hasn't.

If you play KOTOR2, make sure you get the patch for it. I can't remember what it is called, but supposedly it fills in some holes and gaps in the original release. Thanks also for reminding me I stopped playing this game for some reason. I don't think I was too far in, but got stuck or frustrated or something.

Also, does it seem to anyone else like Woody just happened to be filming a movie in a nearby studio and crashed the picture?

There's that one girl from Terminator Genisys and Game Of Thrones

Black guy far right is Donald Glover ( the Martian )

I think the short haired guy far left is one of the directors and check shirt guy could be the other director.

I don't envy that actor. On one hand it's an opportunity of a lifetime.....on the other hand you're essentially replacing a role that is the very definition of ICONIC, where every fan of SW has a certain expectation of 'who' Han is....and now you're expected to 'be' him....and don't F it up.

Disney is taking a massive risk in even telling a 'young' Han Solo story. As was mentioned earlier in the thread.....do we really need to see the Kessel Run or the card game where he won the Falcon? I think it better those things left to the imagination and 'lore' of the SW world. I'm cautiously optimistic about the film but there's a chance this movie blows up in their face, there's a fine line of it being Great or Horrible. I don't think there's grey area....
