Jay 37,364 Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 Wow. Well, the music was terrible, utterly terrible. But the actual film looks fun! I am digging the visual style they got going here, looks much better than Rogue One and TFA. Seems appropriate to be the first Disney Summer Star Wars film instead of Winter The Illustrious Jerry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think could honestly call it anything and people wouldn't bat an eyelid. Does putting Star Wars in the title make it a star Wars story? And what was that rock music garbage? If you want to be star Wars can't you atleast put a symphonic melody in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Complaining about Woody Harrelson being cast in a SW movie reminds me of all those complaints about lines of dialogue that are too "earthy", as if SW should strictly avoid our slang. They're just big budget versions of 40s serials really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chen G. 3,949 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 But that was to be expected: you weren't expecting a Star Wars score to be an idee fixe score, did you? Of course Powell is going to write new themes and utilize existing Williams themes when appropriate: The Imperial March, possibly the Rebel Fanfare, the Star Wars theme, the Force theme, maybe the original imperial motif - who knows.

toothless 963 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Is it possible to have more movies with action scenes happening on daylight instead of invisible dark environnements ?

crumbs 14,316 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I'm really curious if Williams actually watched the film before writing the theme, or if he just wrote a theme with Ford's Solo in mind (writing purely for the character he had already scored in the other 4 films). Arguably it would be a completely different theme, depending on which it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1Ø66 4,714 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 This looks more interesting. They should have started with Han & Lando as kids and made a trilogy of it, so we could see how a sweet, honest young boy becomes a thief and smuggler.

mstrox 6,651 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Trailer looks fine, trailer music was garbage as usual. The only thing I can say I'm "excited" about in this movie is still Donald Glover as Lando (well, and Therm Scissorpunch. And Denny's breakfast.) But the movie should be dumb enough fun.

Quintus 5,399 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I just can't envision this guy as a Harrison Ford character, my brain won't accept it.

Balahkay 627 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I think they're all too old considering this supposedly takes place many years before Star Wars. Ehrenreich doesn't look that much younger than '77 Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
