Star Wars Anthology shit talk (Rogue One, Young Solo, TBD)

i wish i'd be remembered for killing the NFL and Star Wars, but the plan isn't complete.

Nice touch with the Falcon interior looking all new & shiny

And full trailer

woody harrelson?

that font that says SUMMER is so chintzy looking. this is coming out in three months??

Woody's been an announced member of the cast from almost the get-go. And yup, three and a half months.

i still refuse to believe we are not getting a big twist reveal that woody is greedo's father

Woody is Maury Fett, Jango's cousin

Uhhhhhh...I've got a bad...well, you know.

Not getting Han vibes off Ehrenreich (sp?) at all

The effects look rushed (maybe unfinished?) but could be fun. Glover as Lando is pretty spot on.

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF 'CINDERELLA MAN'

xxpost doesn't help that his voice doesn't have anywhere near the timbre of Ford's. he's forcing his lower register too much.

but....from a trailer, it's hard to say, and could be fun. this is probably my least anticipated of the recent Star Wars films tho.

Yeah and there's also Chewie. But getting deja vu as well from having yet another posh sounding pretty English brunette in these films. Turning into a trademark. Switch it up, folks.

shoulda had her with a Yiddish accent IMO

Or Nuyorican!

- donald glover looks good
- allbran eronsorkin looks far more smug than harrison ford ever was
- but honestly who gives a shit

The "This Summer" font is the same one Lucasfilm has been using in a lot of TV spots and DVD menus for years now.

there's been a couple of space Scots in the last couple of movies - is it too late to go back and have emilia clarke redub her lines in an incomprehensible aberdonian brogue?

i like star wars films! just finding it pretty hard to generate much interest in this one

lol @ "allbran eronsorkin"

I demand they re-dub Simon Pegg's lines in The Force Awakens and restore his native accent

I’m very disappointed that Fleabag is relegated to a droid that they actually named L3-37

This one I’m not lining up outside the uptown for, that’s a fact

not sure if they just trailered it up but the music in that doesn't seem very star wars-y, they're edging closer and closer to being another generic franchise i guess

triumphant fanfares don't hew as nicely to a space gangster film like they do to space films about war

This doesn't look terrible but making a movie no one really asked for and which was ultimately helmed by Ron Howard kinda feels like they're testing the waters to see if SW fans actually will pay to see anything labeled as a SW movie. Looking forward to the Lowell & Ganz-penned Porkins prequel.

(NB, I have actually watched (almost) every MCU thing because it's labeled as an MCU thing.)

can't wait to meet F4N-SRV, and IP-$$ in future instalments

I just imagined Woody Harrelson saying "Star Wars?" and giggled for a minute. I really hope this movie means I get to see a series of interviews where he just says.. "Star Wars"

I'm picturing his character constantly breaking the fourth wall with a shit-eating grin. 'Man. How 'bout these Star Wars, huh? Ain't they something?' And the other characters just looking away uncomfortably and trying to change the subject.

'We sure could use some Jedi right about now. I wonder when they're gonna Return, don't you?'

I can't think of an instance where Woody Harrelson has failed to sell me on what initially seemed like a questionable decision to cast Woody Harrelson in a role so he's the least of my worries wrt Solo.

yeah, woody harrelson is never the weak link

what a career that guy's had, man - we should do a woody poll (*snort*) sometime

imo he should say the title in every movie, but it only happens in half of his films

"This country.. it's just not for old men"

"Welcome to the hunger games"

"Well, then I guess you're the true detective, here"

this movie will live or die by this alden ehrenreich's performance and the trailer didn't look too promising. imo

the voice isn't quite right, the intonation on a couple lines was almost there but not confident enough imo

rumours about on-set acting lessons for albut everquest do not bode well

they should have bribed Harrison Ford to record himself reading the script and then had the kid mimic it for a few weeks until he got it right

apparently Bruce Willis actually did that for Joseph Gordon-Levitt during the production of Looper but uh I guess he was actually in that movie

It can't possibly be too late to bring Ford in and have him reshoot all of Ehrenreich's scenes wearing young people makeup. I mean, they still have months until this thing is due in theaters!

Maybe change the director another time or two while they're at it, why not.

Ron Howard the only Star Wars director to have won an Oscar, thereby having one more than two-time nominee George Lucas. What a strange sentence to be writing.

one bald man fighting over a comb

Ron Howard's work ethic as a director is kind of wild

it's the kind of directorial career that can only be described as 'stolid'

narrator: it has never been described as 'stolid'

like a #4 on the bristol stool scale

No one can argue that Ron Howard hasn't made some astoundingly feature-length films in his career, or that his projects are ever anything less than fully-staffed.
