Quote from: Omega;1033195I hated Last Jedi. This is some of the most god awful writing of the whole series. Id rather sit through BOTH the Ewok movies than watch Last Jedi again.

I can't say that I hate Last Jedi...because I refuse to bother seeing it. I can say I hated Force Awakens enough that (despite going with a friend to see Rogue One) I've lost almost all interest in all things Star Wars since Disney took it over.

"Solo" is good. I had written off Star Wars after TLJ, but Solo rekindled my interest in the franchise. Makes me want to dust off the old WEG books.

The WEG books are full of goodness. Definitely dust them off.

I wrote off fan allegiance to SW after Phantom Menace. I knew I would become bitter against the franchise, so instead I just approach ALL the post-RotJ SW movies as popcorn scifi flicks where I kick back enjoy the music, CGI and action scenes. Plot? Actors? Canon? Whatevs.

I did enjoy Rogue One. I found it far more creative than TFA or TLJ which were painfully idiotic.

For me, Guardians of the Galaxy movies are the best space opera since the original SW trilogy. I am WAY more interested in GG3 than SW9.

The best SW stuff I've seen post-RotJ has been Star Wars: Rebels and Lego Star Wars. If anyone here hasn't seen Lego SW, I highly recommend checking out an episode. Fun stuff and full of gamer idea goodness.

Yes, dust off the old WEG d6 Star Wars RPG books prior to watching SOLO because there are a lot of references to older EU Star Wars stuff.

As a standalone, I liked SOLO more than TLJ or TFA, but less than Rogue One. It was worth the money and had some great stuff in it that left me smiling at the end of the movie. I'd like to see more movies like Rogue One and SOLO, movies and episodic series that take place in the Star Wars universe but do not concentrate on Force users. I'd love to see "Star Wars: Everyday People" as a movie or TV series.

It didn't work so good for the RPG...

I blame the d20 system it was done with....

I wish they'd scrap Episode 9 and launch straight into a KOTOR trilogy.

Quote from: Aglondir;1041041I wish they'd scrap Episode 9 and launch straight into a KOTOR trilogy.

At the rate things are going there may not be an episode 9. Solo is tanking as its met with fallout from Last Jedi and some gender politics in the background that was just baiting really. Its like someone wants the franchise to die. Why else would they keep undermining and sabotaging it?

Quote from: Omega;1041270.......they keep undermining and sabotaging it?

Just "HOW" are they doing that?

I call bullshit on that idea.

I loved "Solo" and thought it was fun both times I saw it.

Why?
 If you mean the whole "Knights Of The Old Republic" thing - then you are a fanboy of the obscure. That was an over hyped video game and a few comic books.

I remember when those adds came out and we all said, "Oh, look. I can play a nameless extra..." We also had some fun in-game when a droid companion would poke at the corpses the PCs left in their wake and ask, "What's this guy's story?"

It's possible Solo will bumble along making money all summer.

Quote from: Koltar;1041417Why?

KOTOR would allow SW to escape the Skywalker canon, but keep the Jedi/Sith and develop new stories in a new age BUT have the already built in fandom of KOTOR which is not obscure, but quite significant as KOTOR had video games, novels, and comics.

But they aren't going to scrap Episode 9. That's crazy talk. They need to end this current whatever trilogy, even though there's no overarching story left. Episode 9 will be a mercy bullet to the current franchise so they can start over elsewhere.

The sequel trilogy would have been a perfect opportunity to escape the Skywalker canon. They even laid some of the track in that direction.
But the current creatives don't have the will. And so like you say, the prequel trilogy has to come to it's inevitable, depressing conclusion.

Quote from: Spinachcat;1041433It's possible Solo will bumble along making money all summer.

It isnt. Its bombing in the US and especially overseas. Add to that the atrocious toys which are a step backwards from what Hasbro used to put out and whooo things are not looking good.

Though I think Solo is getting more flack than it would otherwise as it is catching alot of the fallout from Last Jedi. Someone else pointed out that part of the problem may be this "One SW move per year" mandate which means theres a bit of oversaturation of product and any ire one movie garners has not had time to abate before the next comes along.

I think they will complete any movies currently allready in production. But after that who knows?
