Sheev

 

Naw.

If you wanted to say...

Someone thought Solo: A Star Wars Story was a good idea... Ok.

Film has many issues, but I don't think "Solo" himself was among them.

EDIT: BUT!!!

How Solo became a "Solo" in Solo.

THAT is a crime.

 

These abbreviated listings take all the fun out of it.

 

-2 Maul in Solo

 

Rejoice, members of the JCC! An idiot made a spreadsheet to spare you having to copy-paste whole lists!

These things aren't awful, the JCC said so

SHEEV Palpatine isn't awful. FatBurt said so on Post #72.

Sorry, @SuperWatto , with all the chatter one of your -2s came too early.

As of Post #113.

 

+2 Palps in ROTS



There's clearly a lot of to choose from in terms of personal annoyances, etc, but this is the one that really gets to me; one of the better, well-done emotional moments in the OT -Vader's sacrifice for Luke- undone, at the least the great emotional chord struck, by ****ing Palps coming back. I think so much of the unironic joy I had for so much for SW was undone by that. Will it ever come back? Who knows.

 

+2 Force Skype. Seriously, it's dumb.

 

Ben, why didn't you tell me?

Still dumb. Even dumber because he didn't in ROTJ.

 

Obi-Wan, too, in ANH.

 

Obi-Wan's dead. It's completely different!

 

Vader spending over an hour onscreen chasing the Millennium Falcon even though he didn't see who got into it and there's no particular reason he would be able to identify a generic class of freighter as the specific one he fought against at the Death Star- 10

 

-2 The entire B plot of the Last Jedi

 

Han, a regular human, somehow being able to pull a ship out of hyperspace after bypassing a planetary shield but before crashing into said planet at ftl speeds. -10

 

C'm'on, he almost had a nanosecond window to pull that stunt manually
