I suppose it seems like a Fandom is too ubiquitous & easy today. It doesn't really require the dedication or love that it used to, but then the same can be said of many things (photography, cooking, arts & crafts, BDSM, writing etc.) I guess I'm just a grouchy Luddite who's a bit too passionate about these stupid movies Are yöu intö BDSM? No. I dabbled a bit, a few years ago I dated someone who was. This was way before the "50 Shades" idiocy. She & I had some adventures

Star Wars drama is the best drama So, to those that have seen it, should I go out of my way to see Solo this weekend? These next few days are crammed for me, and I'll only make the time for it now if I know its well worth it. I am still gonna see it either way, just whether its sooner rather than later is up in the air. As much as I dönt care för Jeremy Jahns he did say sömething I agree with. The Star Wars trilögies are made decades apart and they feel very different fröm eachöther while still being in the same universe. Sö yöu have basically three separate trilögies but are all suppösed tö be linked tögether. Which basically makes three separate fan bases. I judge the mövies fröm the starting pöint öf the ÖT. Söme fans didnt cöme in until the prequels. Öthers are just nöw fans fröm this new trilögy.D Didn't he hate the prequels?

*Cough* So, the other problem with the new Solo movie is that it is largely visually dark and dreary, and simply not that pleasant to look at. Aside from the train hijack sequence, and the desert planet finale, the movie largely takes place indoors in dreary dark rooms, or outdoors where it is simply dreary.
This movie even managed to make the Kessel Run through the Maelstrom, in outer space, seem claustrophobic, which takes work given that Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan is already an object example of a battle in the middle of a smoky Nebula that STILL looks absolutely gorgeous.
On the flip side, Kira's turn at the end appears to be an attempt to free Han of reprisal from the Crimson Dawn gang. This makes her character's decision much more... er… noble. Kinda tragic, really, since I'm not sure Han understood.
I disagree 100%, the film has gorgeous cinematography. It's issues come from writing & set-pieces, not composition Corellia is MEANT to be dreary, as it's a polluted shipyard planet. Also, the majority of the movie's settings are indoors, other than the beach & epilogue when Han out-cheats Lando (which was kinda tropical I believe) Corellia ...and Mimban ...and Vandor-1 ...and Savareen The other movies had the good sense to leave the sky pretty, and have some green plants in there somewhere.

Yeah what happened to the color of the planets? Why all dark and gritty? Probably because they want to avoid the colorful planets that the prequels created they don’t want to go back to where Star Wars was “bad”.

Probably because they want to avoid the colorful planets that the prequels created they don’t want to go back to where Star Wars was “bad”. the complaint was the prequel planets didn't look 'lived in'. Solo, since it deals with the seedy underbelly of the galaxy,would necessitate a grimier look both in universe and as a matter of tone.

It's because of that we probably have the gritty planets over and over.

THE END Will require strong drugs to watch on HBO/Netflix. THE END. Also, Episode 7 simply disappointed many fans, so much so that they haven't returned to the box office for a Star Wars feature since. It was heartbreakingly bad. THE END Also, Rogue One, a Star Wars story, simply disappointed many fans. It had interesting characters aplenty, and was somehow still boring. WATCHED ON HBO

I actually will watch good early Disney animated stuff (from 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' (1939) and 'Alice in Wonderland' to 'The Emperor's New Groove' (2000) by the end of 2018. Disney started disappointing me with Lilo & Stitch and its newer cartoons (probably the fact that I hit puberty in 2001 is a reason! But even with further examinations, they seem lamer. I kinda liked 'Bolt' and 'Wreck-It Ralph' tho).

Was it supposed to be satire? I really could not tell. Really. Just a theory from a humble man... It is interesting that this is one of the few relationships where the "female" robot/AI is depicted with NO sex appeal at all. It appears to be a relationship based on all personality depicted here: Just going through my head (and your list) of recent examples: Head 6, EDI, Ex Machina, Joy... to me the creepy part of those films/stories is that somebody created an idealized female form, then dudes developed a relationship with them. In some cases the AI even goes looking for an idealized female form to engage in the relationship.

Just came back from seeing Solo. Actually surprised how good it was and the person who played the part, who I didn't have much faith in, actually did good. Didn't surprise me about what Qi'ra was about at the end. Did like the surprise at the end in who she was talking to.

Seems like there are YouTube channels, that make around 3-5 videos a week about Kathleen Kennedy. For Star Wars channels, they don't really seem to offer that much interesting content. Not sure if that is reflective of the state of Star Wars currently or the channels themselves. Hopefully the creators will learn their lesson, when it comes to how they address large portion of their fan base in media and forcing their own political agendas in the movies.
