#solo asws for ts

[janiedean]

anyway last shitpost before i go to bed but back when solo came out i had pictured this scenario where older q’ira was warned of ben solo’s antics as she’s still successfully working for the dark side and deciding she should pay han a solid she goes to intercept him before he can go with snoke and basically drags him around the galaxy for illegal adventuring that’s not as compromising cue han running into his ex and his son years later like OH HEY DAD I DECIDED SMUGGLING IS MY THING NOW :DD and q’ira is like ‘oh hey han it’s been a long time sorry for rudely leaving you like that’ and han is just like 🥺🥺🥺 before calling leia like ‘hey uhm guess who I ran into’

aaand

i should probably..... consider it

The Solo movie was so great! It was the only SW movie that I loved and I was smiling ear-to-ear when I left the cinema. And, personally I don’t really care about the main Star Wars movies about the Skywalkers but the Kylo wank has been so awful over the past four years that I’m rooting for his fans from the backseat. I hope they get what they want, spitefully, because fuck morality policing and hurting real people because of fictional characters

while I do care about the main ones I 100% subscribe to this message thank you very much you said it all and godspeed kylo fans may tros reward you

that said solo asws was peak popcorn cinema and i’ll die on that hill 10/10 would pay for it the third time

I know everyone was worried that Han would be a playboy in Solo because people tend to think of him like that for some reason even though he's so gone for Leia but...he's just not. He's just as set on one woman here, just a different woman. He falls, he falls hard. So in-character. Leia doesn't have to be the first. She was the last and the most important.

What did you like best about Solo?

everything ;)

no okay, honestly:

the cinematography - I mean man I was sold the moment I realized corellia had the blade runner aesthetics going on. CORELLIA HAD THE BLADE RUNNER AESTHETIC GOING ON. HOW COOL��WAS THAT??? but other than that I just loved how it fit perfectly to everything they meant to do - western in space? the last half was all a conglomerate of good western aesthetic, I was gonna die. the train heist in the snow? EXCELLENT HEIST AESTHETIC. AND THE EMPIRE FIGHTS IN WWI-ERA UNIFORMS? EXCUSE ME I’M HERE DYING. BOTH THE SABACC GAMES ALSO LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE OUT OF A WESTERN. this movie had amazing sets/cinematography okay, I was so happy ;_; and it felt like the OT because it wasn’t extra polished and the CGI wasn’t invasive and I just - visually it was a delight okay?

alden. guys I mean I’ve been saying he could own that role since I saw him in hail caesar and man I loved him. he nailed it so hard I cannot even, he got the mannerism of the character down, he obviously put so much love into it I cannot even and he he gave an amazing performance especially because it was obvious he wasn’t trying at all costs to be harrison ford but at the same time he had studied the mannerisms and everything either and god guys I just - he was everything I could have wanted out of a young han and like han’s my fave SW character I wasn’t gonna settle. but he blew it out of the water and I just hope he goes on to amazing things and that if they do more pre-OT movies that they bring him back because I absolutely want more, all right?

the fact that it was obvious they studied it - like, they did a few things but did them right instead of putting too much meat on the fire as we say here and try to jumble fifteen different things at once the way they did with the prequels

CONTINUITY! I mean, WE SAW THE KESSEL RUN! WE KNOW WHY THE FALCON SPEAKS A PECULIAR DIALECT! WE KNOW LANDO’S ALWAYS MISPRONOUNCED HAN’S NAME! WE KNOW WHERE THE DICE COME FROM! okay I WAS EXCITED ABOUT ALL OF THAT! and none of that was a disappointment!

HAN’S SURNAME BEING SOLO BECAUSE OF *THAT THING* ABOUT BROKE ME IN THE BEST WAYS

everyone else! I mean it was one of those movies where I liked all the other characters and it was obvious everyone was having fun and enjoying being in there - I loved glover as lando, I thought emilia clarke was miles better than she usually is in got and she got a really lovely role (I loved qi’ra okay and I loved how they framed her story with han without making her evil per-se and without having her backstabbing him tbqh it was refreshing), I always like woody harrelson playing criminals on my screen even if it fucked up with my adoption papers hc but eh ;)

HAN SHOT FIRST !!!!!!!

HAN AND CHEWIE GOD IT WAS EVERYTHING I COULD HAVE WANTED OUT OF THE HAN AND CHEWIE FIRST MEETING GUYS HAN ACTUALLY SPEAKS WOOKIE I CANNOT EVEN THEY WERE SO PRECIOUS I WANT ANOTHER FIVE MOVIES OF YOUNG HAN AND CHEWIE BEING PRECIOUS TOGETHER ALL RIGHT???????

the kessel run was honestly a threat to my well-being in all the good senses

the last poker game was as well no guys the second time I saw it I was about to cry in happiness or smth that movie does weird things to me and i’m 100% down with it

it was obviously done with so much love I mean okay obviously the entire thing is a disney cash grab I’m not that bad off to not get it, but it was an extremely lovingly made one and it was obvious everyone involved wanted to make justice of the character and flkgjsdklg I love it when people love han okay

I HATE YOU / I KNOW

the falcon is a female communist droid who wanted equal rights and droid liberation and honestly I didn’t expect that but I am delighted

you know that conversation han and qi’ra have before she lets him go and tells him that when she imagined being with him on adventures across space (MY HEART) it always made her smile? THAT’S WHAT THIS ENTIRE DAMNED MOVIE DID TO ME, IT PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE 90% OF THE TIME WHEN I WASN’T TOO BUSY BEING ATTACKED BY FEELS and it just was like OH HELLO REMEMBER ALL THE REASONS WHY YOU’RE INTO SW? HERE HAVE THEM and honestly I hadn’t had such a good time seeing a SW movie in cinemas since forever, and I mean I saw the last two prequels and everything else in cinemas and while I absolutely love all the new ones (we don’t talk about the prequels) this just was an entire other level you know? like there was nothing in this one I had quibbles with or that I didn’t really like and while rogue one was objectively probably a better movie it didn’t leave me with palpitations or SMILING THE ENTIRE GODDAMNED TIME. this one did.

tldr: ngl I liked it probably better than rotj or at least as much which means it’s in my top 3 sw movies and I’m not going back on it idec it was a delight of a movie and I loved every minute of it ;__;

Solo seems to be a box office failure, which i don't really understand. It's not the greatest movie i ever watch, but it still decent? (Much more decent that The Dark Towers, wth was that?!). I feel like that movie doesn't deserves the "flop" titles. I also thought the reason they hire Emilia, is so that they can attract GoT fans to see "mother of dragon" in action, but it's not working?

pffffff man

(I’m prob. gonna go back this evening even if I technically don’t have time WHATEVER YOLO)

the thing is that everyone was against this from the beginning like people were bitching about how bad would that movie be since they announced it in what 2015, and then everyone decided that no one was harrison ford so alden was going to suck regardless because they couldn’t bother to actually watch him in anything else (lmao fuck them he was great

anyway a) the dark tower doesn’t get mentioned here that movie should have never existed period and I still curse every damn producer involved with that clusterfuck (not poor idris idris deserved better), b) SOLO IS MOST LIKELY IN MY TOP THREE SW MOVIES EVER AT THIS POINT so like come at me telling me it sucked X°DDD like I loved the shit out of it and there wasn’t one thing about it I didn’t like all the contrary and no it doesn’t deserve any flop title at any point. I just hope that if they had plans to have young han show up in other movies they won’t change them because god I could pay a lot for more young han at this point and I love how alden plays him like pls give me more take my moneeey ;___; 

THAT SAID

it got positive critical reviews and right now it has made back 210 million out of 250 of budget production and it came out like a week ago, it’s definitely gonna square the production money/it’s not gonna be a loss financially especially counting that there’s the dvd and merch sales and so on, and usually if the critics like something but it doesn’t have immediate audience revenue it can be possible that if the company has a lot of money and sees that it’s a good investment in the long run they’re not gonna scrap anything solo-related they were planning. but mostly I really don’t want anyone in it to be attached to ‘the one sw movie that didn’t make money’ because they all were amazing and did a great job so I’ll just cross my fingers it eventually squares up and the higher-ups listen to the critics.

Han shot first! Until the special editions, I'm sure, where the other guy somehow misses from like four feet away

THE SPECIAL EDITIONS NEVER HAPPENED
