So just got out of the theatre. Man first thoughts, that was pretty darn good! Not like Rogue One good but definitely better than the Last Jedi.
Also did not expect to see that Sith still up to his tricks, and so many new characters! Tons of obvious Scum, but also Imperial Infantry Han! And Stormtroopers with wall climber!

Tobias Beckett killed AURRA SING!?!
Sweet bone thrown out there for the Hardcore geeks like us.
Never would've thought of casting Woody Harrelson is one of the most bad ass gunslingers in the galaxy.

Umm no. Cough cough, totally different.... alright I forgot about those hahaha. But so many cool little Easter egg connections, Han claiming he had a VCX-100 (the ship otherwise known as the Ghost from Rebels), the aurra big (made woody's character so much cooler). Han and Chewie had some pretty funny interactions. Wasn't a huge fan of Lando's droid, came on too strong haha. But Lando himself was awesome, the voice and mannerisms were perfect. Would love to do a CCC Week about the new movie but I should probably wait until more people have seen it. Absolutely loved the last 1/3 of the movie though. Epic finish and I don't even want to mention the bug reveal near the end yet even on a spoiler thread. But very cool to see the connections between the Clone Wars and Rebels here.

I just watched it... And holy cow, that was awesome. To me, the best thing... Is her name is Kreia.... And a CCC about this movie would be awesome. So many cool ways to make a new Han or a new Lando. Chewy could use a character from here.... And who knows what else.
I was happy with the movie! Want to talk more when more time goes by for sure tho

That's her character's personality, and it was unique and new. Loved her. Ya know, say what you will about Disney taking over - they do lead Droids right. BB-8, K-2SO and L3-37 rule!

I just think L3 came off as forced... I know it was her progaming, just wasn't a huge fan. It didn't hurt the movie at all tho, so its not like it was the worst thing in the movie. Solo also did a good/fun job of feeling in little gaps with why Han is the way he is... I mean... The end of the movie was pretty awesome, it shows WHY Han shoots first! lol

Also side note, I have no doubt this is coincidental, but from 1983's The Lando Calrissian adventures book trilogy, Lando had a "sentient", independent droid: Vuffi Raa. Don't remember a lot about those stories, but if memory serves Lando treated Vuffi as an equal sentient being. shmi15 wrote:Solo also did a good/fun job of feeling in little gaps with why Han is the way he is...

The droid had her parts for sure I just felt like she dominated a lot of the scenes she was in instead of contributing to then and by like her 5th time mentioning droid rights I was all "ok yeah I get it already, droids are people too" Hahaha. She was funny during the revolution though.
Excellent movie though and yeah Teras Kasi will have to be an ability on the girl for sure! And Sing is dead! Haha. But yes super cool characters and I really want to bash off some CCC weeks for these people.
Best part for me was the ending though, Han shoots first!

I refer to her as Danerys Stormborn, of House Targaryen! lol, but for real, I 100% thought her name was KREIA during the movie! lol. The entire time I was like, holy shit, they are doing KOTOR 2! Still love that she is in it... and pumped to see what Maul has in store for her.... But yea, this was a great movie, and lots of cool Mini's ideas from it

Saw it tonight. Meh. It was a decent enough movie and I'd consider it better than Force Awakens and Last Jedi, but that's a pretty low bar to surpass.
One thing I really disliked was the depiction of Corellia. In legends, the planet's one of the most important, wealthy, and powerful locations in the galaxy, while in the movie, it's more like Space Detroit. Same thing with Kessel; I'm used to the potato-shaped Imperial prison world with a barely breathable atmosphere, not what we got in the movie.

Sounds like your stuck in the past and can't get out of it. If your only critique, is its not how Legends had it, then I would say the movie was a success Way to many people are Disney haters just because its a cool fad nowadays. If you don't like how Star Wars is going, go back and watch Firefly, you know, the 1 show with 1 season. Thats what Star Wars would be without Disney.

Legends aside, I think it would've had more depth if Han came from the slums of a powerful planet, not just from a slum planet. But it certainly didn't ruin the movie for me. That aside - FIREFLY RULES! It's a travesty it never went further than it did.

I never understood why it was such a big deal! lol

I really appreciated some of the epic visuals there, and I think parts of Corellia are Scum-like but it's still a major manufacturing world for the Empire as seen by the massive Star destroyers being built and the many TIE Parts everywhere.
