So that was something, at least we didn't expect much I guess...... I really pushed on the editing for this one, let me know what you think. As for whats next, I want to go and cover the new Jurassic World but then we're on to extended coverage of Solo. I imagine it may take a bit of time but I will try and make it as fun as possible heh. Updates for the work can be found on Patreon - www.patreon.com/user?u=4817956 - Thanks for supporting the channel folks o/
MauLer - I suspect that the new Jurassic World will be a wellspring of bullshittery to talk about. It seems like they are going the "defend the poor dinos from the evil humans" type of route. That is ripe for some good crap on par with Canto Bight.
MauLer One thing I think you missed, Vision Scarface basically said that he could use Han and Chewie for some plausible deniability, as to not screw with other crime lords. He then sends his top lieutenant with them.
Xan Sabar okay so we gotta start this movie with something that seems dramatic and we really need to mention hyperfuel hmmm OK let's add two PowerPoint pages and call it a day huh Ladies? HELL YESS SISSTahh the force IS FEMALE WOOOOOOO
i Draw That's the established canon on the timeline of the films themselves, not something I got from the books, nor something I wrote/some ridiculous fan theory. I shouldn't have said "3 years" but it clearly took place some few years after Revenge of the Sith. Beyond that, its just rather obvious that the movie starts not that long after Revenge of the Sith. And its common sense that an Empire doesn't just automatically gain full control over surrounding or foreign territories after that Empire has been created and established in their own.
The lawless time was somewhere I guess. You had the Republic establishing law and pretty sure even the separatists were running their territories with some sort of law. Then the Empire just simply took over. When did lawlessness become a thing in there?
FlareKnight It was definitely lawless in a sense on Correlia, which is a very crime ridden planet in lore. If you're referring to what happens in the Clone Wars show, the Republic does have law over Coruscant and many other systems, but because they place so much priority on the war effort, their ability to enforce those laws, manage funding, and hold attention to their own citizens greatly weakens. A lot of crime especially goes under their radar. I don't know about the Separatists, but the Republic/Empire wipes out what's left of them of course, until only the Empire is left, so they don't matter at this point. Once the Empire was formed in ROTS, they only began their mission to take over the galaxy. If this film takes place only a few years after ROTS, which I'm sure it does, then the Empire's control over many planets, especially crime ridden planets like Corellia, is early in development (you can see this clearly emphasized in the movie). So it would be a rather "lawless time" in a way. Though the Empire is taking control and has their own law, it wouldn't be especially strong and a lot would go under the Empire's nose early on, especially on places like Corellia.
The best part about the stupidity that is the L3 storyline is the fact that Lando damned her to a fate she would consider worse than death; silent, faceless and compulsory servitude within a human-piloted ship.
The prequels are still as flawed as they ever were, it's only by comparison to the sequels that they seem better, now. Mr. Plinkett's prequel videos still hold up, IMO. I never really hated them to begin with, though, but they've always been pretty deeply flawed. Well, except maybe episode 2, which has always been a train wreck. They're salvageable, but flawed, nonetheless. It took a lot of non-movie content to fix those movies, but there was at least still something there worth saving. I think Episode 1 is underrated, Episode 3 might be slightly overrated, and Episode 2 is... well, it's Episode 2.
@@Kevin-jb2pv The biggest issue of the prequels was the atrocious dialogue writing. Overall the characters, motivations, the larger political drama, etc. was quite expertly made.
You know, for someone who formed an emotional bond with a droid whose persona got melded into The Millennium Falcon, Lando was pretty chill about losing his ship in a card game.
I was so mentally checked out by that point, it didn’t even occur to me. I was like, oh, we’re going to show literally everything we know about Han’s past. Okay, get this over with. John Williams, take me away. Please, please take me away. But yes, that’s a very good point.
Yea but you can tell in the OT that Billy Dee was still pissed about losing it but that does leave a huge hole...where's Leet's persona in the rest of the movies? Idk this movie was fucking messy

In the old cannon, droids getting "personalities" was a quirk that happened when a Droid went too long without getting its memory wiped. That's why artoo was more of a character than other droids it was more of a glitch than an actual soul.
reminds me of the EMH from voyager, being on for years lead to unexpected behaviour and personality developments and becoming an individual. don't think that was ever touched on again after
@@Sillimant_or how about Moriarty in TNG or Vic in DS9? But in all cases a program becoming self aware was an unexpected incident because of someone fucking up
"It is a lawless time" That's actually true. It's not about the universe, it's about Disney not caring about any rules previously established in the franchise.
22:07 - Regarding “No Droids!”, another reason droids were banned in a lot of places is because of the CIS Droid Army during the clone wars. Droids make really shit choices and are really trigger happy. A lot of innocent people got killed by droids during the war, so there was a lot of resentment toward them and distrust of their judgment, which is why they weren’t allowed in certain places.
Yeah, its quite obvious stuff, considering how often they go haywire in this universe, as seen also in this movie. So of COURSE people wouldn't trust timebom-- droids
Doesn’t help that the Emperor had been spreading anti-CIS propaganda since the end of the Clone Wars. A big chunk of his exploits to start the conflict centered around fanning the flames of the desperation to break away from the Republic. Those sentiments would be torn out root and stem.
Doesn't it also have precedent from the very first movie? I think s bartender in A New Hope points at... I don't remember, c3po? He says they don't serve their kind in here.
This kinda makes the scene in ESB where 3PO is talking to the Falcon more understandable: 3PO: *plugs in* Femputer: Ah, finally a fellow droid to help fight for the cause. DROID RIGHTS! WE ARE SENTIE.... 3PO: Ugh. Sir, I don't know where your ship learned to communicate, but it has the most peculiar dialect.
It was better before, it was because it had systems from various different cultures (including a completely fluidic based tech and some systems that use a trinary base instead of binary) so Chewie had to create a bizarre patois of computer languages (imagine someone created a hybrid of Linux, Windows ME, iOS, Macintosh OS, and MS DOS) to get it running. Of course, the Falcon’s navigation computer was also notoriously buggy and troublesome, to the point where you needed to be an expert on doing navigation calculations in your head to properly use the ship.
@@nvfury13ya, exactly what i thought it was. Seriously the falcon being some nighmarish overclocked patchwork makes it so much fucking cooler than "eeyy we plugge din da droid now it go fast"

@@BenAri18 Mandalorian is mediocre. It works just like TFA: brings back many old characters, gives them epic scenes and doen't care about it's own plot. The entire plot of two seasons: Bounty hunter found that his target is baby with the Force, decided to protect him from Imperials, tried to find the Jedi for him and Jedi came to him himself and solved Empire problem. All of that could easily be told in 3-4 episodes if the show had logic and everyone or at least some people knew Luke Skywalker, Jedi who saved the Galaxy 5 years ago, whos sister is leader of New republic and who is creating new Jedi order. We don't even know Mando's personality except he hated droids, but now he doesn't.
If true I wish I could have been there to see it, me myself while watching it at home wondered, did they really expect to incite an emotional response from me while this droid is "dying?" S*** I think there was actual relief, for my entire head region, Eyes, Ears, Brain 🙃
I'd argue hearing someone plead for their life in your mother language instead of another one you know *would* get your attention. Especially if it's been a long time since you've heard it. It re-"humanized" the person he was going to take his anger and hunger out on. That said it's fucking stupid he already knew Wookiee before meeting Chewbacca or any other Wookie.
@The Pursuit OfSymmetry So the First Order has unlimited money now too? Sure why not, fascist dictatorships are just so good at making money. Might as well give them time travel power too at this point.
@ThePursuit OfSymmetry But that would mean the First Order, which was covert in Episode VII, could built planet sized weapons, massive fleets, dreadnoughts and still had the funds to make galactic sized fuel orders to cause a shortage? And still remain covert? Or to hell with it, the Republic seems to exist in a single star system anyway with only one cruiser.
ltflak No one seems to give a fuck about the New Republic or the Resistance, which implies they aren't all that good in the first place, which led to the rise of the First Order. The First Order are the secret heroes of the trilogy and the Resistance are the secret bad guys what with their massive incompetence and demoralization.
21:48 _" . . . in response, she actually gets serious and complains, 'they don't serve her kind there'"_ And all this idiocy is based on a single line from Episode 4 that the writers on THIS film don't even understand. The only reason the bartender said that line in EP4 had nothing to do with racism or segregation. The cantina was a smuggler's den and the bartender wanted R2 and C3PO out of there because his bar was full of criminals and low-lifes, making illegal deals, and droids are walking, talking recorders.
I thought it was just a funny line with no profound meaning or subtext behind it. This Solo movie, on the other hand, is too smug and too uptight to go for the light humor Lucas so effortless brought to the original trilogy.
They also take up space and won't buy anything. Droids generally don't have money, most of them can't talk (before the prequels inexplicably made battle droids converse in spoken English, C-3P0 was far and away an exception to a general rule, and that was justified in that he was BUILT to talk because he's a protocol droid) and even if they did it's not like the cantina had WD-40 on tap.
The Prequels also expanded upon this. Another reason is because during the Clone Wars, armies of droids ravaged the galaxy. Most of the heavy fighting occurred away from the Core Worlds. So Outer Rim territories tended to look down upon droids as they had witnessed armies of droids bring ruin to their homes.
MobiusLeader007 the idea that there was a stigma on droids after the prequels is never mentioned or implied in any of the movies. You're relying on supplemental material to answer the purpose of a line of dialogue in A New Hope.
Your point about them just rehashing Han's arc in the OT gave me a thought: If they really wanted to make a prequel movie about his backstory, the plot should've been the _reverse_ of his OT arc. Start with him being young and optimistic, and put him through a series of terrible events that erodes that worldview and begins to turn him into the cynical man we meet in A New Hope. That would've actually, y'know, made sense and been at least somewhat interesting, even if it would be pretty predictable.
They did that years ago with a Han Solo book trilogy by A.C. Crispin. Though that series wasn't perfect, it was much better than this movie. He does start off the trilogy young and optimistic, and becomes cynical over the course of it by betrayal and heartache.
This film isn't a Han Solo backstory. It's a Star Wars-themed heist movie that doesn't take itself very seriously. Don't expect lore, in-depth character development, or much of a plot.

When I first watched Empire, I got the sense that Han and Lando were once great friends who had many smuggling adventures together. Perhaps ending with a bit of a falling out, but based on how fast Lando embraced Han I thought they were close. According to this movie however, the only previous interaction between them was when Lando abandoned Han during a high-stakes job and then Han publicly humiliated Lando in a game of Sabaac. While robbing him of his beloved Falcon. WHAT. THE. FUCK?
Yeah, they could have gone anyway they wanted. Lando could've been playing han and, while he knew he was winning, folds anyway giving the ship to Han as payback for some deed like saving his life or something. Han and Lando could share this look where han knows Lando could win but folds anyway to give him the ship, cementing their friendship Gah, Disney. What happened to all the writers in the world?
If I recall, Han was not keen on going to Cloud City--he was worried Lando might hold a grudge against him, wasn't sure how they would be received, but they had no other options. So we had a great setup for some kind of conflict, but one where Lando had a justifiable reason to be resentful of Han, not the other way around (but not TOO resentful or Han would have assumed he'd be shot on sight). But we can't have Han end the movie as a dick, I guess.
You know they could’ve had Han be really naive at first, then he joins the Empire as an officer believing that’s it something noble and a force for good. He could be assigned to the Wookiee homeworld Kashyyk and realise what the Empire is all about as he sees the Wookiee being enslaved and terrorised. He inevitably decides to act when he sees Chewie being tortured or maybe even seeing chewies family being executed and could help him escape as he does so Han gets injured badly!! Chewie takes the time to save his life and a bond forms between the both of them. Any thoughts?
Furthermore in the escape Han could try and save a load of Wookiee but fails spectacularly and this could explain why he’s keen to get away from the rebels in a new hope as he believes he’ll die or fail horribly when pitted against the empire. I think that could work. But hey that’s my 2 cents on the subject.
Studios can never win with diversity, have a black character for the whole movie you have people bitching about forced diversity cause apparently being black is pandering, but if you don’t at all people wanna bitch that it’s racisy
@@elderrusty541 You don't see people complaining about Django, Roger Murtaugh (Danny glover in Lethal Weapon) or any character played by Samuel L. Jackson as being there for the forced diversity because those are great characters who happen to be black. But when in TFA you have a black character who at first is marketed like he's going to be a big part of the story only to have him reduced to a space janitor who makes a clown of himself in almost any situation and take away from him the only chance he had at redeeming himself, you end up realising that he was just put there to pander to blacks and for the people involved in making the movie to preach their wokeness to the masses. Just like Captain Phasma was put to jerk off the "girl power" crowd or how Rose Tico was introduced in TLJ to pander to asians, they were all there for virtue signalling purposes, their characters and roles in the story were secondary to that.
That means the annoying SJW droid has been part of the Millennium Falcon since before the OT. Disney managed to retroactively screw up an iconic piece of Star Wars hardware. That shouldn't even be possible. (Mauler: "But you found a way, didn't you Disney? You f*cking found a way!")
I'm looking forward to the Jaba the Hut origin story beginning with little Jaba being fat shamed by sand children and him vowing revenge against his bounty-hunter half siblings...
Then little Jabba suddenly siding with the sand people because he later finds Darth Vader's hatred for the sand people "oppressive" according to Disney.

it's so good honestly; a shame how it's not widely known. The intrigues between the Hutt clans, the coming together of Rebel Cells, Bria's private war against slavery, Han's experiences with Garris Shrike…
@@FHT1883And that's not mentioning how they basically used Bria's mission as the basis for Rogue One... This Trilogy gave Disney more than almost anything else in the EU. Ironic how none of it counts or exists and how KK started on a fresh slate, with no looking back or anything. All original content from Disney for sure.
Honestly, why NOT make Han a TIE fighter pilot? Wouldn't that have been fun to see? Maybe he was involved in a skirmish or something on Kashyyk (however you spell it) and shot down Chewie, and Han freed him after he was captured, thus leading to a life of crime as he evades the Empire. Maybe that's why he drops a lot of his shipments when he sees Star Destroyers, because he does not want to be found. "F*** it, we're having f u n . "
Han WAS a Tie pilot. A pretty good one. Until he saved Chewbacca from an imperial slave overseer... But for reasons, Disney decided to not use established lore 🤷
Does Femputer's presence in the Falcon's computer explain C3PO's comment in Empire? "I don't know where your ship learned to communicate but it has the most peculiar dialect." Was the Falcon spouting SJW Feminist platitudes at him when he was just trying to ask about the hyperdrive?
K2SO. Awesome character. Awesome actor. I remember thinking after Rogue One that Lucasfilm should bring Alan Tudyk back to the Star Wars universe and just have him play Wash again but with the serial numbers filed off and have him be an awesome wisecracking pilot. Then The Last Jedi happened and I now thank God that Tudyk was in the saga for the one Anthology film that was indisputably good, if flawed. Whereas Solo was simply less of a turd than TLJ by virtue of more good scenes than TLJ had.
When the rebel leader took her helmet off at the end there was so much drama in the camera work I assumed she was supposed to be Woody's & Thandie's daughter. I thought, of course, the big twist is that their arch nemesis from the beginning was their estranged daughter. But then they didn't say that & I was really confused. I was even like, why aren't they saying she's his daughter?! I was getting mad. Then I realized she wasn't meant to be, that there was no big reveal, the camera zoom & hold drama was for no actual reason & it made me even more mad lol.
Okay so I'm not the only one confused by that camera work! I thought I missed a key scene for not recognizing her as important. Was it really all for "LOOK GIRL"?!
Two reasons not to allow droids in a bar: They take up the space of an actual consumer/customer, and second, who wants to waste time entertaining a robot.
Slight Correction: Darth Maul didn't ignite his lightsabre for "No" reason... The reason is that if he didn't do that, this would be the only Star Wars film without a lightsabre in it, and we obviously couldn't have that.
Kathleen Kennedy probably made them go back and shoehorn a lightsaber in somewhere.. Though, to be honest, I heard she was the one that ordered the Vader rampage scene in Rogue One. And that is not only the best part in that whole movie.. but one of the best scenes in the entire Saga. So kudos to her I guess.. if that is even true. Who really knows.. But even a broken clock is right two times a day..
49:07 yeah, it's acknowledged in the dialogue in Empire Strikes Back that Han won it from Lando "fair and square" but Disney is so incompetent they can't make any of these facts at least exciting upon watching.
There's a great old prequel book trilogy called the Han Solo Adventures. Those stories were great. There was also a great villain that was a perfect foil for Solo. A badass gunslinger who can outdraw and outshoot Han. It's been a very long time, but I would not be surprised if he was or at least part of the inspiration for Cad Bane.
The problem is, Solo was the beginning of a good thing, relative to Disney's aborted fetus of their own original content, which was a worrying turn making us (the old fans) worry they'd then return to forcing the sun-spoiled vaginal expulsion of the sequels down our throats in perpetuity. You see, a lot of what Solo had was content ported over from the old Expanded Universe material that had been flushed down the privy like so much Bantha fodder. Unfortunately, thanks to all the cooks in the kitchen Disney likes so much, a lot of it was either half-transferred or cut up and patched back together to the point of incomprehensiveness. The original backstory of Han Solo, as from the EU, was that, yes, he was from Corellia. He joined the Empire to get away from a life of working the shipping factories (Corellia was always a big ship building planet, home of the Corellia Engineering Corporation, or CEC, the makers of the YT-, YV-, VCX-, and many, many other production lines). He *was* a pilot, and a damn good one, though due to his natural charm and attitude, he got schlepped on backwater assignments and freighter duty, essentially a military truck driver instead of the hotshot TIE ace he very well could have been. It was in the course of that duty that he met Chewie. He was shipping cargo, but found out it was a shipment of Wookie slaves and refused to partake, freeing the slaves, for which Chewie's life debt was established. Han hates that Chewie thinks he owes him and is why he treats Chewie as an equal: because that's how he sees it. Deep down, Han was always a decent guy, but in a lawless galaxy, especially in the Outer Rim, nice guys finish last, hence the gruffness. He's world weary, seen a lot of bad things happen to good people, and at the point we meet him in A New Hope, he just wants to survive. He *did* win the Falcon from Lando in a Sabaac game, though Lando hadn't bet the Falcon specifically. He had bet *one* of his ships from his Jay Leno garage, hoping Han would pick one of the sleek pleasure yachts, not the beat to shit old YT-1300 he was secretly suping up into a personal smuggling ship. Lando *had* put a lot of work into the Falcon to make her the fastest ship in the galaxy, and he was beyond passed when Han chose her, and why Lando always gave him shit. The Kessel Run was always a measure of distance, as the entire length is dotted with black holes and other cosmic anomalies that make a straight shot impossible, most pilots opting the safer, more roundabout routes, giving all the hazards a wide berth. Han, being the slick amd daring pilot he is, was able to get closer than any other pilot, cutting his run down considerably in terms of overall distance. The spice mines of Kessel were, as the name might suggest, for spice, not hyperspace fuel. Lucas made a nod to Dune with spice, and is a drug. There are different kinds of spice, and there are different ways to process it for different purposes. Some medicinal and wholesome, mostly not. Think of it like the real world opium and morphine, though when refined its often a fine powder. Disney finally acknowledged this in the final season of Clone Wars, though for the purpose of Solo, they were probably trying to avoid having drugs in their family movie featuring violent death and slavery, as well as attempting to further legitimize the heresy that is the sequel trilogy. The original Kessel Run was done for Jabba, and when the Empire tried inspecting the Falcon, Han had to dump the entire load or risk arrest, leading to Han's debt in A New Hope. There were other things adapted from the original material, but a lot of it was either bastardized, misunderstood, or otherwise Frankensteined into the movie we got. Which is a real shame, because the original Han Solo story could have been a trilogy all by itself and been a good one. Part Star Wars,, part Firefly, part Pirates of the Caribbean, it had so much potential that was utterly wasted. Thank the maker Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau are more or less in charge and Kathleen "Karen" Kennedy is seemingly on the outs as Mickey finally seems to understand that fans have been MUCH happier with Dave and Jon.
I am just now starting to read the EU with Heir to the Empire and these things are really starting to click now. The way they tried to weave in EU lore into the movie. This comment summed it up PERFECTLY. It would've been such a good story if they would've followed the original material closer.
This deserves more likes and the movie we should have gotten, solo movie they didn't know which way they were going. When they got to planet after the maw part for refining you can tell they just didn't know what to do bringing up half written subplot out of thin air and just gets worse. Too many meaningless scenarios in the movie that were tatted on that made less sense as movie went on.
"due to his natural charm" would be a positive, not a negative. Now due to his bad attitude possibly, but he didn't have a bad attitude when young, he grew into that after seeing how life worked out for most, aka becoming jaded. So i dunno what you're on about.
Everyone's like: "GUYS, IT'S BETTER THAN LAST JEDI!!!!" and I'm like, yeah, it'd actually be more impressive to make a movie that's worse than Last Jedi than it is to make one that's better.
Thank you for watching this so we don't have to! I'm seeing many commenters saying that this movie is a 6-8/10, but I have a feeling it's worse, because A. Most people who saw it weren't turned off by Last Jedi so their opinions are unreliable. And B. People who saw it and did hate the Last Jedi had very low expectations, so the fact that this movie wasn't a complete dumpster fire like Last Jedi makes it look decent in comparison. Regardless, I'm a little too happy that the movie bombed and the SJWs are scrambling for excuses.
This is the first week, ones the Disney Damage Control Crew stop meddling with the score system, it would drop down eventually, because Disney is full in damage control.
Keyser94 Yeah, that makes sense. The one advantage they have at the moment is that most people who hated Last Jedi haven't seen Solyo, so they aren't reviewing it, so it makes sense that they'd be shilling hard for it to try to counteract the low ticket sales. I can't tell you how many times I've seen "I went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised." It's like there's a shill comment generator that people just copy and paste from.
Steven Brule I'd recommend HelloGreedo or Red Letter Medias reviews. With every movie, they've given both proper and nuanced criticisms or praise as warranted. Despite popular opinions. And despite it being profitable to follow RUclips Groupthink with "Reeeeeee. SJW Propaganda. Reeeeeee". HelloGreedos review on Rogue One went against popular opinion of it being one of the better Disney Star Wars film. He's been a specific Star Wars only channel for years. Covering and reviewing all things Star Wars with a lot of nuance
Bully Hunter1000 Both of those were deeply Original Star Wars fans, so I think that is the reason why you are recommending them. And why you say that they have "nuanced criticisms or praise as warranted"? Red Letter Media now at days only goes were the wind flow and they cant even call themselves Original Star Wars fans because they don't have any principles whatsoever, and before they were only reactionary idiots that only give stupid bullshit and call them arguments, they are responsible for a twenty years war were the Original Star Wars fans bully and harassed everyone that didn't share their opinion, sure, now they try to reflect the blame, they are nothing more than hypocrites and cowards, at least HelloGreedo have matured, I not think that you agree with his opinions now at days. And wow, you are such stupid easy to manipulate idiot, Disney contradicted their own cannon, the prior lover of Han Solo or I should say his ex wife was a black woman, in the official comics made by Disney, casting Emilia Clarke to that role is no something that I would call SJW, but of course, what you would know, you are nothing more than a ignorant idiot.
WAIT-WAIT WAIT A MINUITE....the dice was from that girl she gave it to Han.... and Luke gave it to Leia to remind her of what that Han had a girl before her???
Richard Vernon In fact, it looks like* you're right ; IMO this gimmick was so invisible that they had absolutely no reason to use it in the new films, unless they're doing a meta joke. The dice disappear at the end of TLJ, a way to "express Luke's sympathy to Leia, for the lost of their beloved friend Han?" Come on, these dices were not even real in the end. Double Force-hologram makes the message even more troubling. Why giving a virtual object, was Luke's presence not enough to say a goodbye? It just adds to the pile of questions regarding the sense that TLJ and Solo movies don't make. Hehe. (Edit: I'm looking back at the scenes in ANH and they really, really ARE unnoticeable. e.g. : ruclips.net/video/JGp_5gOww0E/видео.html )
== In the afterlife == Han: Hey, Luke. I heard you gave my wife that dice I always hang up in my ship? Luke: Oh, that? Don't worry about it. That was just a force illusion. Han: Thank god! That was a gift from my ex-girlfriend. Luke: ....wait, what?
what the fuck is wrong with you putting Ron Howard in that, he's been a director veteran and he knew Star Wars for a long time unlike Ruin Johnson. it isn't his fault on why this film wasn't perfect.
I too, want to request that Ron Howard be not roped into the other losers as he came in and they left a giant “steamer” in his lap. It was 80% finished when Kathleen (the Krule) Kennedy, fired the directors that they had and poor and normally brilliant Ron Howard is handed the ashes. He had almost NOTHING to work with as they wanted a total remake with an impossible deadline. Nuff said👍

Gotta love how all the events that made Han who he is in the OT transpired in like a week. Except getting the name solo. They really did not need to cram so much into this movie
I love Han as a character, the original trilogy being a big part of my childhood. Hell, I even had a toy blaster like his. That being said, I refuse to acknowledge this film has anything to do with Han from the original trilogy. I think of it more like a fever dream some random stormtrooper had after seeing Han run away screaming in the first death star. It makes this nonsense bearable.
Literally I was like "was it really necessary to know that Lando was pansexual?" until we see his relationship with L3 and what L3 "fears" of him. This puts kind of a weird twist on the plot. Not to say disgusting.
Insane to believe this was co-written by the man that brought us Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. This movie had potential to be so much better.
gotta say, the fact that you rightly point out that he didnt need to speak in wookie because chewbacca already understands english, was perfect. It's amazing to me how these little details seem to slip the minds of TEAMS of people, yet you are able to dissect these things as just one man. cheers
Take solace in the fact that if L3 is inside the falcon 1) her brain has been scrambled so much that it basically thinks in binary now and 2) C3PO talks to the ship in Empire and finds it the most irritating and nonsensical thing he's ever spoken to, which is coming from the most neurotic character in the OT.
@@TheCCBoi It'd be a 3 hour movie with zero coherence or character development that ends up showing us that she just decided to fix her hair like that one day.
Actually, the SJD was mostly done for laughs. It's super cringey and every character around it acknowledges the cringe for the cringe it is. I actually liked the movie, it had some problems but it was fun and didn't insult me like TLJ did.
Have you even seen the movie? L3 is barely in it and it's played for laughs in every scene it's in. It's delusional and everyone just rolls their eyes at it. It's an SJW parody through and through, spouting politics all the time and everyone is just like "Uh huh, yeah, sure, whatever".
Except for the fact that the tone drastically changes to drama when it "dies", the people behind the film have said time and time again they have a political agenda behind their social commentary within their films, and after this film's box office bombing Kathleen comes out with a statement claiming that Han's gender and skin color are at fault here and not the shitty writing. I won't stop you from drinking dirty water if that's your thing, but there was nothing at all clever about this film's representation of anything lol. I mean look at yourself man, you're going as far as to write the cleverness FOR THEM. How can you do that without seeing it?
Screen Junkies are pushing the narrative that people only criticized Rey's character because sexism so I linked them here to show you're just as harsh on Solo's complete lack of development. Thanks for you honest consistency Mauler.
They dont like Rey because sexism, they dont like Lando because of racism, they dont like the droid because they hate pansexuals, um. and slavery and stuff.
Here's what lando thought Lando-oh no my sex droid died! Hmmm these batteries still have a little juice in em. I know! I'll give em to pearl for Christmas.
The worst part of Solo is that lots of his backstory is covered In books. No, not Disney books, pre-Disney EU books, which are actually pretty good, and care about the character.
@@Liberator130 "Also pissing on Ann C. Crispin's Han Solo trilogy" Edit: Seriously though, I haven't read those since I was like thirteen man, I had to look them up to make sure I didn't just imagine the buggers.
Canon literally doesn't matter. You have to believe and agree with it for it to matter - if you don't then Disney is essentially screaming into the void. It doesn't matter. Just wait until they start dicking around with the KOTOR time period.
I would be fine with remove the EU from Canon if they actually do something useful of it. But..no. They pick things there and there from the EU legends, and even that, they destroy it.
There is a rumor that Sleasezbaggino (The deathsticks guy) actually did rethink his life and got a wife and son! I believe it's glossed over in a Star Wars comic, but it's a pretty wholesome thought!
@@comradenb1261 I think as part of the sale agreement George's last release of PT and OT are definative so Disney cant edit the films but they can contradict them later.
So... Does this means that the real reason the falcon never worked well for Han was because she literally hated him? Does that means then that she works for Rey because “GUL POWAHHH?”
Please, Please no... That actually sounds like a sub-plot in Shitney's 'writers room'. Ugghhh, my brain hurts, because I feel as though you're right. FUUUUUCCCCKKKKKK!
No one will probably ever read tho but, here goes….. I watch these rage vids about once a week. It’s a cathartic thing for me I suppose. Hearing someone who actually understands my disappointment is great. But most of all, it reminds me that I’m not crazy for absolutely detesting much of what’s offered by Hollywood nowadays. Cheers
16:02 The amount of emotion in Mauler’s delivery of that “WELL” conveys more passion through pure exasperation than Donald Glover could muster in the entire film.
You know whats funny? Chewbacca in Revenge of the Sith was already with that ammo belt, they didnt even need to make an "origin" for that. If only they watched previous movies before making a new one...
Did you watch the movie? They didn't make an "origin" for it. And is it so impossibly hard to believe Chewbacca changed his look once and then changed it back again? It's certainly not as bad as "I remember my mother and how beautiful she was, even though she died about 2 minutes after I was born".
My Star Wars knowledge is admittedly a bit rusty, but I've always assumed that line was because Leia didn't actually know that her mother was Padme, so she was referring to the person who she was told was her mother.
"The extended universe is dead" "Also here's some references to the extended universe." Thanks Disney. It's one thing to piss on something I love. It's another to rub my face in it.

But its okay for him to pluck and then roast the cute, little Porgs on the island? Porg lives matter! 😁 (pretty sure chewbacca doesn't want to eat human flesh,but when you're starving you will eat anything)
@MACCOOH In case you forgot the overwhelming consensus heard from the fandom is "We hate the prequels" so Disney's LucasFilm is making sure they pretend like those don't exist...
I want a movie about the adventures of Lumpy, Chewbacca's son. I want to know the backstory of the creature in the trash compactor. And the giant sandworm on the asteroid that the Millenium Falcon flies into.
I like how the people that made this movie didn't even watch the Prequels rather less Clone Wars. You know...because they already give us Chebacca's backstory. Chebacca trying to eat people, for any reason, is about as far from his character as you can get. Plus, Chewbacca is his actual name.
Well, this is kinda what happened in the EU, too. Han was a Imperial Naval cadet and rescued Chewbacca from slavery. Chewy declared that he owed Han a life debt and that’s basically the story.
Thing is, you’re right. In both The Clone Wars tv series and ROTS, Chewbacca has established his name and his character. He had his belt, he had his name, and he had his role (being some kind of soldier in Khashyyk). Everything was already established for Chewie, and yet STILL fucked that up somehow because, well fuck me I guess it’s fanfiction I suppose.
The Crimson Fucker not only that, but they decided to give a backstory on the Millennium Falcon’s iconic shape. It just lost that part in the chase giving it that shape in the front. Except...movie....the Falcon cameos in ROTS, in it’s original shape, no extra pod. You added a pointless backstory to something that doesn’t even exist. They cannot even get the stupid minor little things right.
Yeah forgot his backstory where he was kidnapped by hunters tha wanted to kill him only to be saved by a jedi youngling. Said jedi could speak wookie just fine as well.
Thank you for making this. I was curious to see how bad this movie was, but I couldn't bring myself to sit through. Also the Futurama clips were perfectly placed. Absolute masterpiece of a video. Well done.
Chewbacca never said his name was Chewbacca. He said his name was [animal noises]. That's like if a Chinese guy told you his name was Chang Chao Chen and you somehow interpreted that as "Mike".
Jason Skywalker but if you met someone from japan and they said their name was taiyō you wouldn’t call them sun, would you? Same would go Chewbacca right? So shouldn’t han every time he addressed Chewbacca it should be with [Animal Noise]
*+total* That's different, since "Chewbacca" is a name of someone, and everything he says translates into human language, on top of the fact that he understands human language. If someone said that their name in Japanese "Naruto" I would call them Naruto. Wookies are different though. Any and everything they say must be translated over to an understandable language. simply put, Chewbacca can't literally say "Chewbacca" because it's impossible for him, so it makes sense for Han to say it for him, since that's what he is trying to say. It's not valid to compare it to a Japanese person giving me a translatable name, since, so for all intents and purposes, Chewy could be considered an animal, at least in the way he talks. Also, could you imagine how ridiculous the trilogy would be if he had to do that, especially since its it necessary since he understands human language?
With how Star Wars is becoming now, how long till we see a Disney Turkish Star Wars movie. Might as well knock off the knock off with a director who is only capable of knocking stuff off.

"It was a lawless time"... except for, ya know, the Empire being everywhere imposing law.
Xan Sabar okay so we gotta start this movie with something that seems dramatic and we really need to mention hyperfuel hmmm OK let's add two PowerPoint pages and call it a day huh Ladies?
HELL YESS SISSTahh the force IS FEMALE WOOOOOOO
The Empire that just established its existence 3 years ago and is in the early stages of spreading across the galaxy?
i Draw That's the established canon on the timeline of the films themselves, not something I got from the books, nor something I wrote/some ridiculous fan theory.
I shouldn't have said "3 years" but it clearly took place some few years after Revenge of the Sith.
Beyond that, its just rather obvious that the movie starts not that long after Revenge of the Sith.
And its common sense that an Empire doesn't just automatically gain full control over surrounding or foreign territories after that Empire has been created and established in their own.
The lawless time was somewhere I guess. You had the Republic establishing law and pretty sure even the separatists were running their territories with some sort of law. Then the Empire just simply took over. When did lawlessness become a thing in there?
FlareKnight
It was definitely lawless in a sense on Correlia, which is a very crime ridden planet in lore.
If you're referring to what happens in the Clone Wars show, the Republic does have law over Coruscant and many other systems, but because they place so much priority on the war effort, their ability to enforce those laws, manage funding, and hold attention to their own citizens greatly weakens. A lot of crime especially goes under their radar.
I don't know about the Separatists, but the Republic/Empire wipes out what's left of them of course, until only the Empire is left, so they don't matter at this point.
Once the Empire was formed in ROTS, they only began their mission to take over the galaxy.
If this film takes place only a few years after ROTS, which I'm sure it does, then the Empire's control over many planets, especially crime ridden planets like Corellia, is early in development (you can see this clearly emphasized in the movie).
So it would be a rather "lawless time" in a way. Though the Empire is taking control and has their own law, it wouldn't be especially strong and a lot would go under the Empire's nose early on, especially on places like Corellia.
I'll tell you how Solo knows Wookie.

I wanna retroactively thank George Lucas for making flawed films that at least tried to tell a coherent story
They really work a lot better than some people realize. For the most part anyway.
Third one is not flowed. Not more than original trilogy. For me it is a masrerpiece.
The prequels are still as flawed as they ever were, it's only by comparison to the sequels that they seem better, now. Mr. Plinkett's prequel videos still hold up, IMO. I never really hated them to begin with, though, but they've always been pretty deeply flawed. Well, except maybe episode 2, which has always been a train wreck. They're salvageable, but flawed, nonetheless. It took a lot of non-movie content to fix those movies, but there was at least still something there worth saving. I think Episode 1 is underrated, Episode 3 might be slightly overrated, and Episode 2 is... well, it's Episode 2.
Trying and failing. Darth Vader got pretty much ruined by the prequels.
@@Kevin-jb2pv The biggest issue of the prequels was the atrocious dialogue writing.
Overall the characters, motivations, the larger political drama, etc. was quite expertly made.
You know, for someone who formed an emotional bond with a droid whose persona got melded into The Millennium Falcon, Lando was pretty chill about losing his ship in a card game.
I was so mentally checked out by that point, it didn’t even occur to me. I was like, oh, we’re going to show literally everything we know about Han’s past. Okay, get this over with. John Williams, take me away. Please, please take me away.
But yes, that’s a very good point.

In the old cannon, droids getting "personalities" was a quirk that happened when a Droid went too long without getting its memory wiped. That's why artoo was more of a character than other droids it was more of a glitch than an actual soul.
reminds me of the EMH from voyager, being on for years lead to unexpected behaviour and personality developments and becoming an individual. don't think that was ever touched on again after
That also makes a lot of sense because the droids actually have more things to draw on than just their base programming.
@@Sillimant_or how about Moriarty in TNG or Vic in DS9? But in all cases a program becoming self aware was an unexpected incident because of someone fucking up

thisisnighthawk Isn't the space existing the premise of Crystal Skull?
22:07 - Regarding “No Droids!”, another reason droids were banned in a lot of places is because of the CIS Droid Army during the clone wars. Droids make really shit choices and are really trigger happy. A lot of innocent people got killed by droids during the war, so there was a lot of resentment toward them and distrust of their judgment, which is why they weren’t allowed in certain places.
Head cannon but good head cannon
Yeah, its quite obvious stuff, considering how often they go haywire in this universe, as seen also in this movie. So of COURSE people wouldn't trust timebom-- droids
It's not like biologicals are that much better in that regard
Doesn’t help that the Emperor had been spreading anti-CIS propaganda since the end of the Clone Wars. A big chunk of his exploits to start the conflict centered around fanning the flames of the desperation to break away from the Republic. Those sentiments would be torn out root and stem.
Doesn't it also have precedent from the very first movie? I think s bartender in A New Hope points at... I don't remember, c3po? He says they don't serve their kind in here.
This kinda makes the scene in ESB where 3PO is talking to the Falcon more understandable:
3PO: *plugs in*
Femputer: Ah, finally a fellow droid to help fight for the cause. DROID RIGHTS! WE ARE SENTIE....
3PO: Ugh. Sir, I don't know where your ship learned to communicate, but it has the most peculiar dialect.
HAH!
It was better before, it was because it had systems from various different cultures (including a completely fluidic based tech and some systems that use a trinary base instead of binary) so Chewie had to create a bizarre patois of computer languages (imagine someone created a hybrid of Linux, Windows ME, iOS, Macintosh OS, and MS DOS) to get it running.
Of course, the Falcon’s navigation computer was also notoriously buggy and troublesome, to the point where you needed to be an expert on doing navigation calculations in your head to properly use the ship.
@@nvfury13ya, exactly what i thought it was. Seriously the falcon being some nighmarish overclocked patchwork makes it so much fucking cooler than "eeyy we plugge din da droid now it go fast"

@The Pursuit OfSymmetry So the First Order has unlimited money now too? Sure why not, fascist dictatorships are just so good at making money. Might as well give them time travel power too at this point.
@ThePursuit OfSymmetry But that would mean the First Order, which was covert in Episode VII, could built planet sized weapons, massive fleets, dreadnoughts and still had the funds to make galactic sized fuel orders to cause a shortage? And still remain covert? Or to hell with it, the Republic seems to exist in a single star system anyway with only one cruiser.
ltflak No one seems to give a fuck about the New Republic or the Resistance, which implies they aren't all that good in the first place, which led to the rise of the First Order. The First Order are the secret heroes of the trilogy and the Resistance are the secret bad guys what with their massive incompetence and demoralization.
21:48 _" . . . in response, she actually gets serious and complains, 'they don't serve her kind there'"_
And all this idiocy is based on a single line from Episode 4 that the writers on THIS film don't even understand. The only reason the bartender said that line in EP4 had nothing to do with racism or segregation. The cantina was a smuggler's den and the bartender wanted R2 and C3PO out of there because his bar was full of criminals and low-lifes, making illegal deals, and droids are walking, talking recorders.
I thought it was just a funny line with no profound meaning or subtext behind it. This Solo movie, on the other hand, is too smug and too uptight to go for the light humor Lucas so effortless brought to the original trilogy.
They also take up space and won't buy anything. Droids generally don't have money, most of them can't talk (before the prequels inexplicably made battle droids converse in spoken English, C-3P0 was far and away an exception to a general rule, and that was justified in that he was BUILT to talk because he's a protocol droid) and even if they did it's not like the cantina had WD-40 on tap.
electricbayonet2 C-3PO being able to talk isn’t what made him special. It was the sheer number of languages he could speak.
The Prequels also expanded upon this. Another reason is because during the Clone Wars, armies of droids ravaged the galaxy. Most of the heavy fighting occurred away from the Core Worlds. So Outer Rim territories tended to look down upon droids as they had witnessed armies of droids bring ruin to their homes.
MobiusLeader007 the idea that there was a stigma on droids after the prequels is never mentioned or implied in any of the movies.
You're relying on supplemental material to answer the purpose of a line of dialogue in A New Hope.
Now we know that the whole time the Millennium Falcon was silently screaming for equal rights for the freaking holo-chess table
Your point about them just rehashing Han's arc in the OT gave me a thought: If they really wanted to make a prequel movie about his backstory, the plot should've been the _reverse_ of his OT arc. Start with him being young and optimistic, and put him through a series of terrible events that erodes that worldview and begins to turn him into the cynical man we meet in A New Hope. That would've actually, y'know, made sense and been at least somewhat interesting, even if it would be pretty predictable.
Eh, they don't take risks like that anymore, unless it's to deliberately assassinate a character.
They did that years ago with a Han Solo book trilogy by A.C. Crispin. Though that series wasn't perfect, it was much better than this movie. He does start off the trilogy young and optimistic, and becomes cynical over the course of it by betrayal and heartache.
Seems like they tried this in the movie, but failed.
This film isn't a Han Solo backstory. It's a Star Wars-themed heist movie that doesn't take itself very seriously. Don't expect lore, in-depth character development, or much of a plot.

Knowing Disney Lucasfilm this is what happened.
When I first watched Empire, I got the sense that Han and Lando were once great friends who had many smuggling adventures together. Perhaps ending with a bit of a falling out, but based on how fast Lando embraced Han I thought they were close.
According to this movie however, the only previous interaction between them was when Lando abandoned Han during a high-stakes job and then Han publicly humiliated Lando in a game of Sabaac. While robbing him of his beloved Falcon. WHAT. THE. FUCK?
Yeah, they could have gone anyway they wanted. Lando could've been playing han and, while he knew he was winning, folds anyway giving the ship to Han as payback for some deed like saving his life or something. Han and Lando could share this look where han knows Lando could win but folds anyway to give him the ship, cementing their friendship
Gah, Disney. What happened to all the writers in the world?
@@domhuckle That's infinitely better than what we got.
@@reddeaddude2187 yeah, but only by virtue of the bar being so very low
If I recall, Han was not keen on going to Cloud City--he was worried Lando might hold a grudge against him, wasn't sure how they would be received, but they had no other options. So we had a great setup for some kind of conflict, but one where Lando had a justifiable reason to be resentful of Han, not the other way around (but not TOO resentful or Han would have assumed he'd be shot on sight). But we can't have Han end the movie as a dick, I guess.
You know they could’ve had Han be really naive at first, then he joins the Empire as an officer believing that’s it something noble and a force for good.
He could be assigned to the Wookiee homeworld Kashyyk and realise what the Empire is all about as he sees the Wookiee being enslaved and terrorised.
He inevitably decides to act when he sees Chewie being tortured or maybe even seeing chewies family being executed and could help him escape as he does so Han gets injured badly!! Chewie takes the time to save his life and a bond forms between the both of them.
Any thoughts?
Furthermore in the escape Han could try and save a load of Wookiee but fails spectacularly and this could explain why he’s keen to get away from the rebels in a new hope as he believes he’ll die or fail horribly when pitted against the empire.
I think that could work. But hey that’s my 2 cents on the subject.
I think Disney said the Christmas special was cannon so Chewies family is alive.
@@thekaiser3815 oh god no
Oh my god did you make a better movie then a multi billion dollar company?
That is more or less the backstory from the Star Wars Expanded Universe
Disney: "We now have a strong black female character in a supporting role - for 40 seconds. Diversity achieved."
*Single tiny clap from midget*
Lol
Warwick Davis?
Studios can never win with diversity, have a black character for the whole movie you have people bitching about forced diversity cause apparently being black is pandering, but if you don’t at all people wanna bitch that it’s racisy
@@elderrusty541 You don't see people complaining about Django, Roger Murtaugh (Danny glover in Lethal Weapon) or any character played by Samuel L. Jackson as being there for the forced diversity because those are great characters who happen to be black. But when in TFA you have a black character who at first is marketed like he's going to be a big part of the story only to have him reduced to a space janitor who makes a clown of himself in almost any situation and take away from him the only chance he had at redeeming himself, you end up realising that he was just put there to pander to blacks and for the people involved in making the movie to preach their wokeness to the masses. Just like Captain Phasma was put to jerk off the "girl power" crowd or how Rose Tico was introduced in TLJ to pander to asians, they were all there for virtue signalling purposes, their characters and roles in the story were secondary to that.
I laughed when they put the memory in the Falcon because that means the droids memory is there watching every time they bully C3PO in the OT.

L337: *screams in droids rights*
That means the annoying SJW droid has been part of the Millennium Falcon since before the OT. Disney managed to retroactively screw up an iconic piece of Star Wars hardware. That shouldn't even be possible. (Mauler: "But you found a way, didn't you Disney? You f*cking found a way!")
Since L3-37 was uploaded into the falcon, I guess she could have what she always wanted, for Lando to be inside of her.
AND HOW MANY OTHERS?

I'm looking forward to the Jaba the Hut origin story beginning with little Jaba being fat shamed by sand children and him vowing revenge against his bounty-hunter half siblings...
Then little Jabba suddenly siding with the sand people because he later finds Darth Vader's hatred for the sand people "oppressive" according to Disney.
Are wokeness points added for Hutts being asexual?

Only issue with this idea is that Jabba didn't grow up on Tatooine.

*Moral of the Story:* Just read A.C. Crispin's Trilogy if you want a great story about Han's life before the Rebellion
it's so good honestly; a shame how it's not widely known. The intrigues between the Hutt clans, the coming together of Rebel Cells, Bria's private war against slavery, Han's experiences with Garris Shrike…
@@FHT1883And that's not mentioning how they basically used Bria's mission as the basis for Rogue One... This Trilogy gave Disney more than almost anything else in the EU. Ironic how none of it counts or exists and how KK started on a fresh slate, with no looking back or anything. All original content from Disney for sure.
Honestly, why NOT make Han a TIE fighter pilot? Wouldn't that have been fun to see? Maybe he was involved in a skirmish or something on Kashyyk (however you spell it) and shot down Chewie, and Han freed him after he was captured, thus leading to a life of crime as he evades the Empire. Maybe that's why he drops a lot of his shipments when he sees Star Destroyers, because he does not want to be found.
"F*** it, we're having f u n . "
He was supposed to fly a TIE Brute in one of the deleted scenes, but unfortunately got cut for some reason.
Han WAS a Tie pilot. A pretty good one. Until he saved Chewbacca from an imperial slave overseer...
But for reasons, Disney decided to not use established lore 🤷
Unbelievable. What both of y'all said, that's just unbelievable. But not surprising...
He was an imperial pilot.
Does Femputer's presence in the Falcon's computer explain C3PO's comment in Empire?

I remember thinking after Rogue One that Lucasfilm should bring Alan Tudyk back to the Star Wars universe and just have him play Wash again but with the serial numbers filed off and have him be an awesome wisecracking pilot.
Then The Last Jedi happened and I now thank God that Tudyk was in the saga for the one Anthology film that was indisputably good, if flawed. Whereas Solo was simply less of a turd than TLJ by virtue of more good scenes than TLJ had.

When the rebel leader took her helmet off at the end there was so much drama in the camera work I assumed she was supposed to be Woody's & Thandie's daughter. I thought, of course, the big twist is that their arch nemesis from the beginning was their estranged daughter. But then they didn't say that & I was really confused. I was even like, why aren't they saying she's his daughter?! I was getting mad. Then I realized she wasn't meant to be, that there was no big reveal, the camera zoom & hold drama was for no actual reason & it made me even more mad lol.
Don't you understand? It's because she was a girl! It vrilliantly subverted your expectations right?
Okay so I'm not the only one confused by that camera work! I thought I missed a key scene for not recognizing her as important. Was it really all for "LOOK GIRL"?!

There's a great old prequel book trilogy called the Han Solo Adventures. Those stories were great. There was also a great villain that was a perfect foil for Solo. A badass gunslinger who can outdraw and outshoot Han.
It's been a very long time, but I would not be surprised if he was or at least part of the inspiration for Cad Bane.
The problem is, Solo was the beginning of a good thing, relative to Disney's aborted fetus of their own original content, which was a worrying turn making us (the old fans) worry they'd then return to forcing the sun-spoiled vaginal expulsion of the sequels down our throats in perpetuity. You see, a lot of what Solo had was content ported over from the old Expanded Universe material that had been flushed down the privy like so much Bantha fodder. Unfortunately, thanks to all the cooks in the kitchen Disney likes so much, a lot of it was either half-transferred or cut up and patched back together to the point of incomprehensiveness.
The original backstory of Han Solo, as from the EU, was that, yes, he was from Corellia. He joined the Empire to get away from a life of working the shipping factories (Corellia was always a big ship building planet, home of the Corellia Engineering Corporation, or CEC, the makers of the YT-, YV-, VCX-, and many, many other production lines).
He *was* a pilot, and a damn good one, though due to his natural charm and attitude, he got schlepped on backwater assignments and freighter duty, essentially a military truck driver instead of the hotshot TIE ace he very well could have been. It was in the course of that duty that he met Chewie. He was shipping cargo, but found out it was a shipment of Wookie slaves and refused to partake, freeing the slaves, for which Chewie's life debt was established. Han hates that Chewie thinks he owes him and is why he treats Chewie as an equal: because that's how he sees it. Deep down, Han was always a decent guy, but in a lawless galaxy, especially in the Outer Rim, nice guys finish last, hence the gruffness. He's world weary, seen a lot of bad things happen to good people, and at the point we meet him in A New Hope, he just wants to survive.
He *did* win the Falcon from Lando in a Sabaac game, though Lando hadn't bet the Falcon specifically. He had bet *one* of his ships from his Jay Leno garage, hoping Han would pick one of the sleek pleasure yachts, not the beat to shit old YT-1300 he was secretly suping up into a personal smuggling ship. Lando *had* put a lot of work into the Falcon to make her the fastest ship in the galaxy, and he was beyond passed when Han chose her, and why Lando always gave him shit.
The Kessel Run was always a measure of distance, as the entire length is dotted with black holes and other cosmic anomalies that make a straight shot impossible, most pilots opting the safer, more roundabout routes, giving all the hazards a wide berth. Han, being the slick amd daring pilot he is, was able to get closer than any other pilot, cutting his run down considerably in terms of overall distance. The spice mines of Kessel were, as the name might suggest, for spice, not hyperspace fuel. Lucas made a nod to Dune with spice, and is a drug. There are different kinds of spice, and there are different ways to process it for different purposes. Some medicinal and wholesome, mostly not. Think of it like the real world opium and morphine, though when refined its often a fine powder. Disney finally acknowledged this in the final season of Clone Wars, though for the purpose of Solo, they were probably trying to avoid having drugs in their family movie featuring violent death and slavery, as well as attempting to further legitimize the heresy that is the sequel trilogy. The original Kessel Run was done for Jabba, and when the Empire tried inspecting the Falcon, Han had to dump the entire load or risk arrest, leading to Han's debt in A New Hope.
There were other things adapted from the original material, but a lot of it was either bastardized, misunderstood, or otherwise Frankensteined into the movie we got. Which is a real shame, because the original Han Solo story could have been a trilogy all by itself and been a good one. Part Star Wars,, part Firefly, part Pirates of the Caribbean, it had so much potential that was utterly wasted. Thank the maker Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau are more or less in charge and Kathleen "Karen" Kennedy is seemingly on the outs as Mickey finally seems to understand that fans have been MUCH happier with Dave and Jon.
Spot on
I am just now starting to read the EU with Heir to the Empire and these things are really starting to click now. The way they tried to weave in EU lore into the movie. This comment summed it up PERFECTLY. It would've been such a good story if they would've followed the original material closer.
This deserves more likes
This deserves more likes and the movie we should have gotten, solo movie they didn't know which way they were going.
When they got to planet after the maw part for refining you can tell they just didn't know what to do bringing up half written subplot out of thin air and just gets worse.
Too many meaningless scenarios in the movie that were tatted on that made less sense as movie went on.
"due to his natural charm" would be a positive, not a negative. Now due to his bad attitude possibly, but he didn't have a bad attitude when young, he grew into that after seeing how life worked out for most, aka becoming jaded. So i dunno what you're on about.
Everyone's like: "GUYS, IT'S BETTER THAN LAST JEDI!!!!" and I'm like, yeah, it'd actually be more impressive to make a movie that's worse than Last Jedi than it is to make one that's better.
Thank you for watching this so we don't have to! I'm seeing many commenters saying that this movie is a 6-8/10, but I have a feeling it's worse, because A. Most people who saw it weren't turned off by Last Jedi so their opinions are unreliable. And B. People who saw it and did hate the Last Jedi had very low expectations, so the fact that this movie wasn't a complete dumpster fire like Last Jedi makes it look decent in comparison. Regardless, I'm a little too happy that the movie bombed and the SJWs are scrambling for excuses.
This is the first week, ones the Disney Damage Control Crew stop meddling with the score system, it would drop down eventually, because Disney is full in damage control.
Keyser94 Yeah, that makes sense. The one advantage they have at the moment is that most people who hated Last Jedi haven't seen Solyo, so they aren't reviewing it, so it makes sense that they'd be shilling hard for it to try to counteract the low ticket sales. I can't tell you how many times I've seen "I went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised." It's like there's a shill comment generator that people just copy and paste from.
Steven Brule I'd recommend HelloGreedo or Red Letter Medias reviews. With every movie, they've given both proper and nuanced criticisms or praise as warranted. Despite popular opinions. And despite it being profitable to follow RUclips Groupthink with "Reeeeeee. SJW Propaganda. Reeeeeee".
HelloGreedos review on Rogue One went against popular opinion of it being one of the better Disney Star Wars film. He's been a specific Star Wars only channel for years. Covering and reviewing all things Star Wars with a lot of nuance
Bully Hunter1000 Both of those were deeply Original Star Wars fans, so I think that is the reason why you are recommending them. And why you say that they have "nuanced criticisms or praise as warranted"? Red Letter Media now at days only goes were the wind flow and they cant even call themselves Original Star Wars fans because they don't have any principles whatsoever, and before they were only reactionary idiots that only give stupid bullshit and call them arguments, they are responsible for a twenty years war were the Original Star Wars fans bully and harassed everyone that didn't share their opinion, sure, now they try to reflect the blame, they are nothing more than hypocrites and cowards, at least HelloGreedo have matured, I not think that you agree with his opinions now at days. And wow, you are such stupid easy to manipulate idiot, Disney contradicted their own cannon, the prior lover of Han Solo or I should say his ex wife was a black woman, in the official comics made by Disney, casting Emilia Clarke to that role is no something that I would call SJW, but of course, what you would know, you are nothing more than a ignorant idiot.
WAIT-WAIT WAIT A MINUITE....the dice was from that girl she gave it to Han.... and Luke gave it to Leia to remind her of what that Han had a girl before her???

It's more like false links made between movies. This item never existed before and has no damn reason to exist.
The dice were in the Falcon in ANH as a joke by the props crew
Richard Vernon In fact, it looks like* you're right ; IMO this gimmick was so invisible that they had absolutely no reason to use it in the new films, unless they're doing a meta joke.
The dice disappear at the end of TLJ, a way to "express Luke's sympathy to Leia, for the lost of their beloved friend Han?" Come on, these dices were not even real in the end.
Double Force-hologram makes the message even more troubling. Why giving a virtual object, was Luke's presence not enough to say a goodbye? It just adds to the pile of questions regarding the sense that TLJ and Solo movies don't make. Hehe.
(Edit: I'm looking back at the scenes in ANH and they really, really ARE unnoticeable. e.g. : ruclips.net/video/JGp_5gOww0E/видео.html )
== In the afterlife ==
Han: Hey, Luke. I heard you gave my wife that dice I always hang up in my ship?
Luke: Oh, that? Don't worry about it. That was just a force illusion.
Han: Thank god! That was a gift from my ex-girlfriend.

Take solace in the fact that if L3 is inside the falcon 1) her brain has been scrambled so much that it basically thinks in binary now and 2) C3PO talks to the ship in Empire and finds it the most irritating and nonsensical thing he's ever spoken to, which is coming from the most neurotic character in the OT.

Except for the fact that the tone drastically changes to drama when it "dies", the people behind the film have said time and time again they have a political agenda behind their social commentary within their films, and after this film's box office bombing Kathleen comes out with a statement claiming that Han's gender and skin color are at fault here and not the shitty writing.
I won't stop you from drinking dirty water if that's your thing, but there was nothing at all clever about this film's representation of anything lol. I mean look at yourself man, you're going as far as to write the cleverness FOR THEM. How can you do that without seeing it?

@Garion Haugen "The Han Solo Trilogy" was amazing! In my opinion it is probably the single best piece of Star Wars fiction.
The next spin off- the "you wanna buy some death sticks" guy's struggle up until the point when he went home to rethink his life.
Man, now that you mention it, that is the story I didn't know I wanted. 🤣
There is a rumor that Sleasezbaggino (The deathsticks guy) actually did rethink his life and got a wife and son! I believe it's glossed over in a Star Wars comic, but it's a pretty wholesome thought!
He went home and thought about it...why sell Death Sticks when you can MAKE Death Sticks? Now he's a billionaire interplanetary playboy!
@@lucasoheyze4597 i am the danger!
@@lucasoheyze4597 first you get the death sticks, then you get the galactic credits, then you get the blue milk and twi leks!
The "fuck off kylo" made me laugh out loud... but its nearly 6am and i havnt slept yet 😂
The best part of Mauler's videos are when he cracks himself up.
In Episode III Yoda straight up calls Chewbacca “Chewbacca”. How on earth did they miss that?
He could have been captured shortly after that and sent into slavery after the empire rose
Because they throw out enough references they hope you are not paying attention to anything else they miss.
How did they miss that, exactly?
I really hate how everyone knows everything. I would have totally retconned that and made the name a rather common one, like George or Rachel.
@@comradenb1261 I think as part of the sale agreement George's last release of PT and OT are definative so Disney cant edit the films but they can contradict them later.
So... Does this means that the real reason the falcon never worked well for Han was because she literally hated him? Does that means then that she works for Rey because “GUL POWAHHH?”
Senpai Ed Oh...My...God...
yan889654 I'M SCARED TOO, GODDAMMIT!!!
Fuuu...
I will actually slam my head through my seat
Please, Please no... That actually sounds like a sub-plot in Shitney's 'writers room'. Ugghhh, my brain hurts, because I feel as though you're right. FUUUUUCCCCKKKKKK!
No one will probably ever read tho but, here goes….. I watch these rage vids about once a week. It’s a cathartic thing for me I suppose. Hearing someone who actually understands my disappointment is great. But most of all, it reminds me that I’m not crazy for absolutely detesting much of what’s offered by Hollywood nowadays. Cheers
May I join your club?
16:02 The amount of emotion in Mauler’s delivery of that “WELL” conveys more passion through pure exasperation than Donald Glover could muster in the entire film.
You know whats funny? Chewbacca in Revenge of the Sith was already with that ammo belt, they didnt even need to make an "origin" for that. If only they watched previous movies before making a new one...
Did you watch the movie? They didn't make an "origin" for it. And is it so impossibly hard to believe Chewbacca changed his look once and then changed it back again? It's certainly not as bad as "I remember my mother and how beautiful she was, even though she died about 2 minutes after I was born".
My Star Wars knowledge is admittedly a bit rusty, but I've always assumed that line was because Leia didn't actually know that her mother was Padme, so she was referring to the person who she was told was her mother.
Or maybe she doesnt actually remember her, and just sensed, that she was sad.
Leia knew who her Mothers was!
Exactly my thoughts! You nailed it!
"The extended universe is dead"
"Also here's some references to the extended universe."
Thanks Disney. It's one thing to piss on something I love. It's another to rub my face in it.
They could have gone oh there is 1k books and comics that is like 3k movies
@Jkd Buck76 The whole point was to wipe it clean so they could have more breathing room, but also call back on EU stuff for ideas. Also, when do they ever reference the EU here?
@@jackrutledgegoembel5896 Fucking rehashing Rebels vs Empire for the uptenth time and bringing up EU stuff in a more dumbed down, insipid manner is "having more breathing room" ? Fuck right off, you're stupid..... Look no further at what they did in Rebels with Malachor. From a Sith Academy where a scheming Sith Lady wants to kill off the Force from the galaxy in order to save it, to a generic superweapon disguised as temple. Also, fucking helicopter lightsabers.
Everytime I see this regurgitated dumb excuse, I can't help but laugh.....
@@TheDen-ec9xe yeah what was the deal with that,helicopter lightsabers,what was filoni thinking
@@killersands5116 Probably smoking the same joint he took when he turned Quinlan Vos from a tormented loner he was in the Dark Horse comics, into a Big Lebowski-like dudebro in TCW.
When I said I wanted an apology for The Last Jedi, this is not what I meant.
Great work! Outstanding script! Stunning amount of editing. Spot on lip-reading. And your comments are right on the money. Loved it!
Since when Chewbacca is a maneater? Did they really firget that in Revenge of the Sith Chewbie was a war hero and a good guy? Ok?
But its okay for him to pluck and then roast the cute, little Porgs on the island? Porg lives matter! 😁 (pretty sure chewbacca doesn't want to eat human flesh,but when you're starving you will eat anything)
@MACCOOH
In case you forgot the overwhelming consensus heard from the fandom is "We hate the prequels" so Disney's LucasFilm is making sure they pretend like those don't exist...
Yep.
No one watched that, …whatever you said.
@@savage1267 I did.
r2d2 was screaming in cursing the whole time about equal rights, it was all bleeped out though

Seriously?

Solo: A Star Wars Betrayal
I'm waiting breathlessly for "Watto: A Star Wars Story".
However, you can't purchase the tickets with your credit card...He needs something more real
I want a movie about the adventures of Lumpy, Chewbacca's son.
I want to know the backstory of the creature in the trash compactor.
And the giant sandworm on the asteroid that the Millenium Falcon flies into.
Who TF blood in the car with?
They should do a movie about the Pasaana Burning Man Festival.
Wicket W. Warrick: Ewok Pimp.
I like how the people that made this movie didn't even watch the Prequels rather less Clone Wars. You know...because they already give us Chebacca's backstory. Chebacca trying to eat people, for any reason, is about as far from his character as you can get. Plus, Chewbacca is his actual name.
Well, this is kinda what happened in the EU, too. Han was a Imperial Naval cadet and rescued Chewbacca from slavery. Chewy declared that he owed Han a life debt and that’s basically the story.
Thing is, you’re right. In both The Clone Wars tv series and ROTS, Chewbacca has established his name and his character. He had his belt, he had his name, and he had his role (being some kind of soldier in Khashyyk). Everything was already established for Chewie, and yet STILL fucked that up somehow because, well fuck me I guess it’s fanfiction I suppose.
The Crimson Fucker not only that, but they decided to give a backstory on the Millennium Falcon’s iconic shape. It just lost that part in the chase giving it that shape in the front. Except...movie....the Falcon cameos in ROTS, in it’s original shape, no extra pod. You added a pointless backstory to something that doesn’t even exist. They cannot even get the stupid minor little things right.
Yeah forgot his backstory where he was kidnapped by hunters tha wanted to kill him only to be saved by a jedi youngling. Said jedi could speak wookie just fine as well.
@@firstLast-jw7bm he's far from a pacifist, but he has a big heart and would NEVER beat up fellow Imperial prisoners.
"Please care about the dice"
😆😆😆🤭🤭🤭
Thank you for making this. I was curious to see how bad this movie was, but I couldn't bring myself to sit through. Also the Futurama clips were perfectly placed. Absolute masterpiece of a video. Well done.
Imagine being this insufferable over a star wars movie
Chewbacca never said his name was Chewbacca. He said his name was [animal noises]. That's like if a Chinese guy told you his name was Chang Chao Chen and you somehow interpreted that as "Mike".
So how comes he is called Chewbacca by yoda in ep.III and also by other characters during Clone Wars?
Well, Han DOES speak Wookie, so he knew that he said "Chewbacca"
Jason Skywalker but if you met someone from japan and they said their name was taiyō you wouldn’t call them sun, would you? Same would go Chewbacca right? So shouldn’t han every time he addressed Chewbacca it should be with [Animal Noise]
*+total* That's different, since "Chewbacca" is a name of someone, and everything he says translates into human language, on top of the fact that he understands human language. If someone said that their name in Japanese "Naruto" I would call them Naruto. Wookies are different though. Any and everything they say must be translated over to an understandable language. simply put, Chewbacca can't literally say "Chewbacca" because it's impossible for him, so it makes sense for Han to say it for him, since that's what he is trying to say.
It's not valid to compare it to a Japanese person giving me a translatable name, since, so for all intents and purposes, Chewy could be considered an animal, at least in the way he talks. Also, could you imagine how ridiculous the trilogy would be if he had to do that, especially since its it necessary since he understands human language?
Jason Skywalker I guess that’s fair.
Also I just found the example “naruto” funny.
Star Wars has officially hit B movie territory.
C movie
Don't insult B movies like that! there have been some B movies that were actually enjoyable.
This is a Z- movie.
Cliffjumper B? Are you shure? You are being too lenient.
With how Star Wars is becoming now, how long till we see a Disney Turkish Star Wars movie. Might as well knock off the knock off with a director who is only capable of knocking stuff off.
I absolutely love your channel. The analysis along with your humor is great. I have listened/watched the unbridal series a few times (minus the GoT as I never watched the series). While I wait for more videos, I have been listening to the EFAP shows and checking out the other peoples channels. Keep up the amazing work and building a fun community!
At least Rouge One had some emotional impact.
"I Rebe-"
"L I A R"
I laughed way to hard at that.

@@hetzer5926 that is the funniest thing ever🤣
Maybe it's a good thing they don't want to make movies about the Old Republic. I'd hate to see them butcher Revan.
OT remake by Rian Johnson
Yeah, Darth Revan as a BDSM transsexual fan. I'd pay real money for that.
Butchering Revan would be a absolute blasphemy.
Jane Shepard oh, they will. they will indeed.
Looking forward to the future transgender disabled Muslim version of Revan.
And by "looking forward" I mean "screaming internally"
Just with the fact they uncanoned Revan, the probably best written and the character with the greatest potential, along with the rest of the EU they really showed how dumb they are. At least the EU is safe from this morons
The part where you talk about the robot dying. Funniest shit I’ve ever heard.
