Yeah I don’t know.... I’m not crazy about it at all. Some cool effects for Falcon being newer and the Jeep Wrangler style speeder at start but that’s it.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, this could just be a glossy trailer. And I still don't think this is a needed film...but I'm at least intrigued now where I wasn't before.

Yeah I was kind of meh, do we need this, before I saw trailer. Now I'm looking forward to it.

Western vibes. I like.

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

It seems like every blockbuster has to be a "team up" these days? I was imagining this would be more Han Solo doing stuff on his own (maybe with Chewie) and less Han Solo part of a quest party.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

I'll watch it. Despite my feelings on TLJ, I thought Rogue One was great. So i'm hoping it continues the quality of standalones.

I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

I think it looks rad. Of course we don't need a Han origin story, but if it's an excuse to look at a bunch of cool Star Wars stuff like worlds and societies, and it works, I'm up for it. And Glover as Lando is gonna be tight. That smile in the teaser alone was worth making the movie.

Ok just watched the end of RO. Couldn’t remember if they forced them in. They didn’t.

I think I would get up and leave if they randomly appear for Han to make a Golden Rod jab in Solo.

They just appear in the hangar on Yavin, about two thirds of the way through.

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

Son of a bitch! Then my statement has even more meaning.

They're with Antilles at that point, so it makes sense. It's shortly before they board Tantive to help at Scarif.

Chopper is there too, before the Ghost leaves.

I thought Firefly was the Han Solo origin story? I'm confused...

I'm hoping that's just EW being idiots for a splash page headline...and that it's not "the funniest yet"...because I don't think I want a "funniest yet" Star Wars movie.

Tatts early in SH game: Hmm, so if I'm liberal I should have voted Nein to make sure I'm president? I'm not that selfish

Tatts later in SAME game: I'm going to be a corrupt official. I have turned from my liberal ways, and now will vote against the pesky liberals. Viva la Fascism.
When Venge's turn comes, he will get a yes from Mess, Dolmen, Nevyn and Venge but a no from the 3 fascists and me. **** with my Government, and i'll **** with yours

Not sure what you were expecting when they hired the LEGO Movie guys...?

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

The implication being that writer/directors can only shoot in one genre?

What’s truly FUNNY is that they where shitcanned for making it to funny and now it’s labeled the funniest ever which makes me think there’s some funny business going on here.

I still think it's just EW making a splashy headline.

I think it's simply people overreacting to the word "funniest". "Funniest SW movie" isn't exactly a high hurdle to clear.

Sure, sure. I dare you to think of another case of people overreacting to something online. Particularly fans of Star Wars. It's okay, I'll wait...
