Star Wars Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)

[Mondo Jay]

I am having a hard time caring about SW anymore. Will watch eventually, but without the anticipatory joy of my (now) faded youth. I would mansplain it further, but I need to put the porch chops on the grill.

I'm not particularly sensitive to political messages in movies, but Solo took it a bit too far and I didn't like that. The raiding of the train was pretty cool, but after that it was a forgettable movie that didn't add anything worthwhile to the universe, while putting us through some cringe-worthy political messages. Frankly, I was glad that it flopped.

I agree, Rogue One was amazing. My favorite SW movie since the first two (I like it better than Jedi).

Do you really think Solo was a “political movie” had Last Jedi not happened? I didn’t notice anything political about Solo.

If success means it just has to be better than force awakens and last Jedi, that’s a pretty low bar.

It's very possible that "Last Jedi" made me a bit cynical and overly sensitive, but Solo still the sassy female justice warrior robot, with wide hips (I wonder what race she is supposed to be), and a "non-binary" Lando Carlisian, described as pansexual in articles, who was implied to be in a sexual relationship with the sassy robot.

I thought the last Star Wars was the worst of them all. I didn't have any interest in seeing the Hans Solo movie. My son wants to see the new one so I'll have to go watch it. Hopefully it is better than the last one.

So apparently the first cut of this movie was god awful so they've been trying to edit it to not suck.

Some spoilers here FYI:

"Rey doesn't win, as much as literally stomps a mudhole in The Emperor's a--," the Youtuber says. "When this happens, all the screeners burst into laughter."

Solo had that overly woke droid and that was it, and even then it was so over the top it felt like a parody.

Sure, it was like Beauty and the Beast know where that one dude character was gay. Had you not known the outrage going into the movie I personally wouldn’t have noticed it. I think the Last Jedi can take the mantle as the worst movie in cinematic history because of the fallout it caused.

Solo wasn't perfect but overall it was an enjoyable movie that exceeded my (albeit low) expectations. I'd watch it over any Disney Star Wars besides Rogue One.

The problem is it followed the trash heap that was TLJ. We're getting a hold on anthology films and they're blaming it on Solo's box office numbers, but what they don't realize is how reflective those numbers are of people being pissed off at TLJ.

I saw the Han Solo movie and it was alright. Nothing spectacular.

I don't remember a Hans Solo movie in the theaters. Could you kindly give me the title so I can check it out for myself?
