Physical media sells less well in general now, and TFA had more special editions and novelty in its favor. Was anyone really thinking Last Jedi was not going to move a lot of units? With no prompting someone on a Power Rangers instagram pic went on a rant about Last Jedi, SJWs and some other echo chamber terms no sane person would use.
MonteCarl Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 I went to a Costumes of Star Wars exhibit in Detroit yesterday. It was amazing. Here are pictures, if you're interested http://imgur.com/a/gKvFG1L
Matt D Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 The Resistance animation feels loose and flimsy, like comic book art if someone forgot to hire an inker or something.

Matt D Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Caught Solo on Redbox over the weekend. I liked it way more than I was expecting. Parts felt a little insubstantial but I laughed a lot and it was amazing how thoroughly fan-service-y the whole thing was, especially considering no fans actually wanted it in the first place. It didn't feel like an event, but it did kind of make me feel like I was 13 and playing X-Wing and reading Tales From the Mos Eisley Cantina or something. 3
Brian Fowler Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I watched it a few days ago, and it wasn't bad or anything, but it was just kinda there. A lot of the action was hard to follow though. Really bad editing at times. 1

I certainly thought about this being the result of troll factories or 4chan/8chan. It certainly passes the sniff test with how ridiculous it is. To many of us, hell, probably all of us, we can look at this garbage like trying to start a re-make TLJ movement complete with shitty logo and see that this is too ridiculous to believe unless you're a rube so of course a bunch of people would fall for it and let it divide them. That's been the M.O. for troll factories and 4chan/8chan for awhile now. It's fucking weird that we live in the greatest age of information where nearly all information, accurate information is available from the palm of your hand and yet so many fall for the trap.

I watched it over the weekend and really liked it much more than I thought I would have. I was kind of blown away by how good it actually was. I don't think Disney needs to dial back the "a Star Wars every year" plan based on this film's perceived failure. I think they need to can the guy who decided putting this out unhyped six months after the last one was a good idea.

I think they need to can the guy who decided putting this out unhyped six months after the last one was a good idea. I liked what all of this set up too. I could have gone for a loose Trilogy surrounding this stuff (maybe a Boba Fett movie and the Kenobi one, where he's on the margins, and Solo 2) all leading to some sort of weird team up where they have to battle Crimson Dawn. 2
Brian Fowler Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I'm guessing eventually all the Crimson Dawn stuff gets done in comics
Eivion Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 21 hours ago, Brian Fowler said: I'm guessing eventually all the Crimson Dawn stuff gets done in comics Probably not. Its clear Crimson Dawn was made for Solo and maybe the spin-off movies in that time period in general. None of the ongoing comics are really covering that time period.
Brian Fowler Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 Which is why I said eventually. Solo 2 is highly unlikely, they are scaling back Star Wars plans, eventually someone is going to try to close up all those loose ends.
Raziel Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 Kennedy was extended another 3 years, so the current run, while scaled back as far as features go, isn't going anywhere. Cartoons will fill in the high profile stuff, like the Crimson Dawn stuff (basically, fill in between Ep III and Rebels.).
BurningBeard Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 Am I reading too much into 'lone gunfighter'? Because a Star Wars western sounds ideal to me. Think Good, Bad and Ugly with more PEWPEWPEW
Craig H Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 Once Upon a Time in the West, but Star Wars? Fuuuuuuuck yeah.
John from Cincinnati Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 It sounds like a good idea. But then I remember that Johnson drew from a bunch of pretty awesome movies when putting together The Last Jedi and how lukewarm I felt about the whole thing and... eh. 1
Eivion Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 The Mandalorian has my interest for the setting and current list of directors (I'm excited for Filoni and Waititi).

I loved Clone Wars and Rebels so the cartoons handling other high profile shit that can't fit into or make it to the movies is fine with me.
Raziel Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 I know I'm late to this party, but Solo was really fucking good. I'd like to see more to that side of Star Wars, but alas it's probably only in cartoons now. 1
RIPPA Posted October 28, 2018 Author Posted October 28, 2018 Well it won't be via a Boba Fett movie Kathleen Kennedy officially confirmed what most suspected and that the plans for a Boba Fett movie have been cancelled

His current comic covers the time between the prequels and IV.
