    With each character having their own apparent color scheme and unique ship flying above them, it makes me think all those ships are going to join together to make one super robot

    What the fuck is wrong with you? How the fuck do you take one still promo image and determine "looks awful"? You haven't even seen the show.

    Read the Solo novelization. In case youre interested...

    Han got to be a pilot, but he was sent to Mimban as a grunt as punishment

    Enfys Nest met up w Saw Gurrera and the Nest leader chick met and kind of bonded w Jyn. Also how Saw met, 2 Tubes.

    That's about it. THere was a little more background on QIra to fill in the gaps between Corellia and when she pops up again w Dryden Vos. Also some background on Beckett and Val, in an attempt to make her death more impactful.

    The Epilogue w Enfys Nest was the most interesting part, imo

    Good quote from a good interview with Bob Iger:

    Many believe Disney should pump the breaks and not put out a Star Wars movie each year.

    I made the timing decision, and as I look back, I think the mistake that I made — I take the blame — was a little too much, too fast. You can expect some slowdown, but that doesn't mean we're not going to make films. J.J. [Abrams] is busy making [Episode] IX. We have creative entities, including [Game of Thrones creators David] Benioff and [D.B.] Weiss, who are developing sagas of their own, which we haven't been specific about. And we are just at the point where we're going to start making decisions about what comes next after J.J.'s. But I think we're going to be a little bit more careful about volume and timing. And the buck stops here on that.

    Yeah that might be a bit too critical. It was an interview where he fielded a lot of difference topics, almost all of which had answers that felt off the cuff.

    That man is at least 50% responsible for Star Wars being Star Wars.

    Marcia Lucas is another 40%.

    “Empire of Dreams” really illustrated how much he believed in George.

    If you can find it, check out "The Secret History of Star Wars."

    Eye-opening for how much it reveals the depths of Lucas' BS

    He was definitely an extremely creative type.

    That being said, he’s done a lot financially for his crews as well as his community.

    guilty as charged...I guess my question is... to my knowledge Maul died at the hands of Obi Wan in TPM, I'm guessing the version I saw in Solo is a clone perhaps. I kinda placed Obi Wan in TPM in close proximity age-wise to Han in Solo but Obi is wayyyyyyyyyy fucking older than Han in ANH. Help, Computer

    Cliffs: Maul was revived with the SW equivalent of dark magic, got spider legs then normal robot legs

    Spent the rest of his life plotting revenge against Obi Wan, the emperor and empire at large

    Would you like to know more?

    I guess my only question is, does the timeline of these events sync up with Obi and Han's ages respectively?

    “Sources tell THR that Episode IX will be the last of the "chapter" installments, with Disney planning on touting it as a selling point in the promotion campaign for the film in the year leading up to its release”

    I’m fine with this

    Personally I'm in favor of stopping after IX but then coming out with X in a decade or even 15 years from now. Those movies need to be generational affairs.

    There's plenty of stories to tell in the years interim.

    I've been saying it for a decade plus. I'll keep saying it until I get my wish or I die. I'm guessing I know which will happen first but I hope its the other.

    they have killed everyone from the OG trilogy. Time to end the Saga of the Skywalkers imo. Go 40 years into the future if you want with Luke still appearing as a force ghost if necessary.

    Stolen from a podcast:

    The Xenomorph is snuck aboard the Death Star, could the Aliens take over

    Also, the Ghostbusters vs the Force ghosts of Yoda, Qui-Gon and Anakin

    Xenomorph could be killed by Vader for sure.

    Gotta think the millions of stormtroopers could either kill one xenomorph or at least isolate it and suck it out one of the countless airlocks.

    Ghostbusters would never fight force ghosts. They're good ghosts. Get out of here with that.
