It's very whelming. Not overwhelming and not underwhelming.
Alden Ehrenreich can't win here. Harrison Ford is too unique of a personality. Lando is easier to become. Donald Glover has the easier job.
I think the cinematography looks excellent, but beyond that, I don't know what to expect from this film. It worries me how little they showed of Han in the trailers though, and the rumors that he needed an acting coach don't help.
But I think it will be a fun film, even if Alden is terrible.
I quite liked what I saw. It looks like a fun crime film, which is exactly what I want from it. It looks better than R1 to me, and I'm more excited for it than I was for that film. Of course, Rogue One didn't do a whole lot for me, except for Krennic and Saw, which is kind of an unpopular opinion, so take that how you will.
Yeah, I totally agree with what you're saying here. The first time I saw it, I didn't get why anyone had any issues with it. He seemed fine. The second, I could kind of picture Harrison Ford saying the same lines and doing the same stuff, and it was just so vastly different. I'm going to try to go in to the theater thinking of it as a different character instead of a younger version of the same, and I think if I do, I'll enjoy the film a lot more.
Agreed, it was visually gorgeous.
Mhm. In Kasdan we trust. It's supposed to be one of his best scripts, so if nothing else, it should be fun nad cleverly written.
I must say I've warmed up to it wuite a bit since I posted that. Alden looks a fair but like Harrison from several angles, and, while Harrison is obviously irreplaceable, I trust Lucasfilm's casting decisions at this point. Perhaps he won't be great, but I bet he was the best option Lucasfilm had.
We'll really just have to wait and see, though. I'm not sure what to expect at this point.
Ignore everything I say, to the best of your ability.
I'm just doin' school and stuff. I've taken up writing, particularly poetry.
And thinking about TLJ.
Ooh, neat. Rhyiming or non-rhyming? I love poetry, but I'm terrible at it. I think the last time I tried was that Shakespearean Sonnet to French Fries I did Freshman year for school. It wasn't good.
Oooooooooh I need to hear your thoughts on it.
Sometimes it rhymes, sometimes it doesn't. I am doing free verse right now, but organized free verse. I learned a lot of mistakes poets make, and I guarantee you did them (No offence).
Luke was INCREDIBLY WONDERFULLY AWESOME AND EPIC. What he did to Kylo in the end was awesome. Rey was great, I loved the lifting rocks scene. Kylo was quite different, I think he was better in this film though. I was glad Snoke pointed out how pathetic he was, though. This movie was a bit darker, and they almost made Kylo look good, but then it turned out he wasn't.
I thought the whole thing with Finn and Rose was pointless, and I didn't like Vice Admiral Holdo. Poe was pretty cool, though.
The Throne Room scene and Crait where the two best sequences. I also really loved what they did with Luke, and I thought DJ was a fun character. The Snoke decision was absolutely genius, because after that I felt like the story could literally go anywhere. Most movies you have a certain sense of control in, because you know that, due to conventions, most writers won't be willing to do certain things. Rian Johnson doesn't care at all about those conventions, and I love it.
Who is DJ?
Benicio del Toro's character in The Last Jedi. It's not his actual name, it's a nick name which the filmmakers used on set which stands for his mantra "don't join."

Yes! Everything in the Throne Room and on crait was awesome! I was happy with Luke's character and the Snoke decision as well. I also loved the Hyperspace Kamikaze. I'm really interested to see what JJ does with Episode IX. I tried writing an Episode IX story, but man, it was difficult.
Agreed! And so am I! He can go anywhere with it, which is why it's so difficult to write, probably. There's no set path forward, it's just wherever he decides to go, so its impossible to predict what will happen.

I never noticed any resemblance, but am fine with him, anyway. Han Solo is one of those characters which is uber-popular, but which I never had any special connection to... I mean, don't get me wrong, I like the character, but I just won't be devestated or disappointed if Alden takes it in a different direction, like I might be with another character.
True. Low expectations may play to its benefit. Low expectations are easy to exceed. And I don't want anything groundbreaking with this flick, like I might want fir an episode. For Solo, I just want a fun movie.

Ah. What is organized free verse? I honestly have no idea. Oh, definitely. I am not a poet, and I know it. (Heh)
Yessssssss. Luke's storyline was great. The only thing I would've preferred is if he had the green at the end instead of the blue. I like what they did with Rey, too. This movie was pretty much about Rey getting disappointed. She was disappointed in Luke, disappointed in Kylo, and then disappointedly in who her parents ended up being. I loved what they did with Kylo. He is now Supreme Leader which I never would have guessed going in. And he sort of overcame his patheticness, which was a great arc.
Do you mean the storyline or the relationship with Finn and Rose? I liked the storyline, but, yeah, I agree that the relationship was a bit forced. (Heh. Pun not intended.) I didn't hate Holdo. I didn't LOVE her either, but I think she's a solid edition to Star Wars. I wish we got more Ackbar though. Yes, he was.
