Trailer looks pretty cool. I'm optimistic about the SW movies after Rogue One and Last Jedi. TFA was hot trash but glad to see they're moving away from that.
But it just reminds me how much the new Star Wars movies just haven't grabbed me. They all feel like fan-pandering until Rian Johnson made his movie and denied me the one thing I really wanted to see. (Jedi Master Luke Skywalker being a badass Jedi and not just projecting his mind off somewhere just so we can get a double sunset death scene).
I hated the prequels... except that they showed us new parts of the galaxy. Disney has a whole galaxy to play with and we keep ending up with the same damn characters, species, and desert planets. Personally, I would have much preferred if the Rebellion had actually won and the new conflict/story was not about Empire Redux vs Rebellion Redux. But instead we get an OT rehash (kinda) and spinoffs about OT events and OT characters like Han Solo.
Rian Johnson is getting his own trilogy that's in a new part of the galaxy and separate from the main story so, there you go.
Not sure what you mean by "being a badass jedi" either, seems a contradiction in terms.
Is it just me or does the name "Solo" just sounds dumb by itself? Like "Han Solo" sounds decent but "Solo" just feels off.
Well it was "Lincoln" not "Abraham Lincoln", "Patton" not "George S. Patton", "Churchill" not "Winston Churchill" . . . I think it's common for bio-pics, even fictional sci-fi ones to have only one or the other name.
