That part annoyed me because it wasn't even Han who came up with it. Cutesy, cheesy as it was it would have been slightly better had he said, "I have no people. I'm solo.", instead some random Imperial officer gives him the name Solo like it's their version of Game of Thrones' last name Snow for bastards.

Plus, how many other people traveling don't have families? Does the Empire just give out 'Solo' to all of them? Is this the space Ellis Island version of Smith? That would mean there's thousands, or perhaps millions of 'Solos' out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the movie overall, but there are some hamfisted moments in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legend Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I'm enjoying it, but man the choreograph whenever Spoiler Leia runs away from someone was so absurd looking.

I mean the notion that grown ass adults couldn’t catch a kid that young within a few paces is bananas, but that one baddie really seemed to like admiring the trees mid chase. There are a couple canonical questions I have, but I’m at the point in my Star Wars fandom where I’m just curious as opposed to caring. Spoilers for these 2 episodes and Rebels: Spoiler I wasn’t aware anyone in the Inquisitorius knew that Vader was Anakin? My guess is we’ll find out the 3rd Sister was one of the Younglings that saw him at the Temple during Order 66 and she hates Kenobi for being Anakin’s master, or something that fits in with that while also simping for Vader. The Grand Inquisitor dies in Rebels, so… I have no idea what’s happening here since this takes place first? I’m psyched for more young Leia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see where they go with it. Also, Spoiler I like that this kind of ties why Leia might have asked Obi-Wan for help in A New Hope more than just the formal reason she gives. It probably opens "plot holes' elsewhere in A New Hope, but probably not all that significantly or any worse than we've had to suffer already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Yup, one of the younglings in the opening scene is a girl with similar hair style as Reva. My assumption is she was one of the survivors. Also, assuming grand inquisitor is not dead since he's still alive in rebels which takes place after this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Just kinda funny that the "previously on..." showed Qui-Gon getting merc'd from a similar wound, but we have every reason to believe ol Grandy himself lived. Again, not a complaint at all, just the passing observations of a lifelong Star Wars fan whose take on canonical consistency is constantly evolving.

Reputator Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 With the brightness boosted... I mean, eyes open... Seems pretty dead. And I think this was put at the end of episode 2 for a reason. I think they might be showing us that this series isn't going to be constrained by previous canon (outside of movies anyway). My next thought is....they want a final showdown between Maul and Kenobi to happen on this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Watched the first episode and enjoyed what I saw so far. I’ll do the 2nd one tomorrow as I have too much to watch show wise. This, LoveDeath&Robots, Stranger Things mini movie episode season, Kids in the Hall, and fuck me The Boys up starts next week and Ms. Marvel the week after.

Greatoneshere Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Opening recap alone makes prequels better than prequels are. Love it. First two episodes amazeballs. Hook it to my veins. "I am ready to face the trials." *Darth Maul shows up* Also prologue opening to first episode - yes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Maybe Spoiler It's a different Grand Inquisitor. The replacement guy we see in Rebels is just also a Pau'an. That's my guess if he actually is dead. Also maybe someone could help me, but my Disney + is acting strange. Whenever I watch anything now the colour grading is constantly changing. Like mid-scene it'll flip between a yellowish filter, a bluish one, and what is actually supposed to look like. It's so annoying and makes everything look awful. When it cut to black at the end of the second episode, it wasn't actually black for me, it was a big yellow rectangle taking up the image.

I've had this happen when downloading 4K versions of the episodes. May want to check your streaming settings and your TV. Not sure if it's the same problem I've sometimes encountered, but it sounds similar. I have 4K output on both my TV and computer monitor, it was the download itself that was broken, but it played but with all that filtering you're mentioning (meaning someone pulled a bad 4K stream off of Disney+ would be my guess).

Guest Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Watched part one. Easily the best season premiere of the SW shows. The prequel recap shows what I’ve always thought…not really a terrible main storyline when you boil it down to the essentials. Ewan is sooooo perfect as Obi-wan. The Inquisitors are surprisingly menacing for a family show. The actress playing Leia is really great for a kid. And the show visually is 1000x better than Fett. I am all in, baby!

Didn’t Topher Grace do this too for friends? I believe he took all 3 movies and edited down to like a single 85min movie and people said it was amazing. Plus I wonder if he might of helped created the opening recap, with what he has put out on YouTube before. Like this trailer below he did with a friend while the wives were out for a weekend, he says 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
