Holko 9,499 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 A lot of deleted scenes, don't think any of them would have made the movie better in any way. Mostly scored with a hodgepodge of cues and alternates, most interesting is the extended Mimban battle scored with an adaptation of a portion of the Williams track not used anywhere else in the score from around 5:42.

Arpy 4,145 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I like the Mimban scenes, the production design and the sets look fantastic - all the smoke and the fire set against it etc. The Illustrious Jerry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Powell’s score for Solo was mixed so-low! The chances of a Solo sequel happening are so-low! Chen G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,499 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 The bonus material has virtually nothing interesting in it. Maybe I've been forever spoiled by the Appendices, Empire of Dreams, the Alien Quadrilogy 9 disc set and such, but most of these featurettes for newer films are not interesting at all. I think I finally pinned down why - they're not focusing on being informative, but are only trying to sell you the movie - which, by that point, you've already blood seen! There's absolutely nada about Kessel and the Maw (which could have been great, hearing how they drew inspiration and pulled back a prominently featured planetoid from Legends), no word on Lord and Miller (big shock), virtually nothing about preproduction and script development. Oh, there's a 6-minute featurette on the Kasdans, but all they talk about is how they're father and son which is sometimes hard but not always. Nothing on how they got story ideas, how it developed, who brought what, just "Yeah, this is dad." "Yeah, son. I like Han." Oh, and L3's actress hopes she will be an inspiring character. Bleh.

mstrox 6,643 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 The only new-era Star Wars movie that has had any worthwhile special features (not just PR fluff) besides the mixed bag of deleted scenes is The Last Jedi. I found the main TLJ documentary, “The Director and the Jedi,” to be very worthy of those LOTR docs in particular. It focuses mainly on production and leaves out a lot of pre- and post-, but it is a good doc that mainly has fly-on-the-wall footage combined with interviews that are more warts-and-all (so much so that people use them as fuel for their dumb YouTube videos against Rian Johnson) Your mileage may vary on the doc based on whether you’re one of the people who ended up hating Rian Johnson though Holko and crumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,499 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 It had a bit too many slowmo shots with bland music as cutaways for me, but yeah, it was overall pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,300 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Funny because both Solo and Rogue One would be very worthy of an Alien 3 type documentary explaining what went wrong during production. Unfortunately those types of revealing documentaries take years to happen (basically once everyone involved is retired or working for another studio) because nobody wants to jeopardise their career by being brutally honest.
