Solo [Official Info] Solo: A Star Wars Story - May 25, 2018

Got this Solo cup at the movie theater yesterday, at Cinemark here in Brazil.


Did you guys get anything like that? I've seen some crazy Range Trooper cups from other countries, too bad we don't get them here.

 

Unless of course Supreme Renperor is actually a good leader, and 9's battle goes down a far more personal path. I'd like that.

 

I’m in Nashville and saw it at the Regal in Hendersonville (in town for a wedding) and it was the most fun I’ve had at a STAR WARS film since TESB. It’s just straight up summer fun space adventure. And I’m the most skeptical SOB you’ll ever meet. I can’t wait to see it again. Alden Ehrenreich was exceptional. No fear. That must be his motto, because he did more than just fill shoes, he made his own of fine leather. The Kasdans, Ron Howard, even Lord and Miller, everyone who had a hand deserves praise. Loved the cast. I really hope this film does exceptionally well at the box office because I’d like to see Alden again as Han Solo.

Love this, especially the bolds!

 

Solo’s title zooms out, Solo’s title zooms towards us.

 

Next step is doing an unique ending, I'm so tired of the same iris out every time. It definitely wasn't as jarring as in Rogue One but I wanted something new there too.

 

I thought Solo’s ending was good. Young Han’s story is always going to continue, so it’s hard to make it self contained. It felt celebratory. He had his new ship, his co-pilot and a sense of purpose (going to Tattooine). It was a happy way to end things.

 

I was thinking about the iris out with the classic music. It's always jarring to me.

 

It’s a tradition that needs to stay.

 

That's what they said about the crawl.

 

It has remained. Saga films are not anthologies.

 

Which is why I wanted the anthologies to do something different with the endings. But you already know what I meant.

Don't know if this has been posted but Solo takes the record off TFA as the most expensive Star Wars movie to make ever

 

That’s a shame. It certainly doesn’t deserve to be the most expensive. Why would a Han Solo stand-alone, without massive high paid actors and a smaller in scope story, cost more to make than the episodes?

It also doesn’t look like the most expensive. The film had a bit of a cheap look to it. All that money went to essentially filming the movie twice, it doesn’t really show up onscreen.

It’s a waste LFL and KK will have to grapple with. Solo is clearly meant to kickoff a cinematic universe and therefore performing like an Ant Man or Thor stand-alone (which it’s more or less doing right now) would be seen as successful. Instead it looks like a disaster because of out of control costs and terrible PR. Big error by LFL. Should have had the right team in place before production began.

 

I just wish L&M had agreed to collaborate with a new director so that they could have retained their directing credit (as Edwards did), and so that not as much of the film would have been reshot. Howard had to re-shoot nearly 80% of the film in order to avoid labor rules about directing credits. That's a huge factor in how much this film ended up costing.

 

So I'm confused about the timeline now.

According to the Solo Visual Guide the movie takes place 10 years before ANH. But in Last Shot Lando still has the Falcon and L3 8 years before ANH.

Han's thoughts on Qi'ra also don't really seem to line up with how their relationship ends 7 years prior in Solo (she dumps him at 21, and when we see him at 26 it really sounds like he is grieving over her death and that it recently happened), but I supposed that may have been based on a sequel where she dies.

Also, Han should be 29 in the pre ANH Han parts in Last Shot by this timeline but he tells Maz he's in his early 20s.

 

Solo begins ten years prior to ANH, jumps ahead three years after Corellia, and thus ends seven years prior to ANH. That’s why Lando still owns the Falcon eight years before ANH.

 

Wookieepedia seems to be going with "Kessel Run in 10 BBY", Han escapes Corellia in 13 BBY" though:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/13_BBY

 

Yup, and that's based on the visual guide which states that Solo does not begin in 10 BBY, but ends in that year.

Er, OK...In that case, someone should ask LFL for clarification.
