"Young talked about how his increasingly dark images are partially an artistic response to the dark times facing the world today."

Kevin
2018-05-31 22:52:10 +0000 UTCExactly my thoughts when he popped up - (How) are they gonna be able to conclude this in a satisfying way for the only-movie-watching crowd?!

2018-05-31 14:15:15 +0000 UTCRich Evans, I will see this movie now.

2018-05-30 15:22:03 +0000 UTCDon’t ever fade out without grabbing the chair
Omar Rodriguez
2018-05-30 14:13:57 +0000 UTCWere the editing mistakes in this on purpose to make a meta joke about solo?
Josh Marjonen
2018-05-30 09:57:57 +0000 UTCAn evenly split decision? I don't know who or what to believe!
David Anderson
2018-05-30 04:35:45 +0000 UTCBut what about Crazy McScissorpunch?

2018-05-30 00:14:44 +0000 UTCThe Empire Strikes Back would be my favourite movie if the AT-AT commander had put his coffee cup down on the wee Vader hologram.

2018-05-29 23:58:21 +0000 UTCI do agree with Mike's point that Maul reflects a more Marvel style business model - I would go a step further to speculate that he's not just there for the Obi-Wan movie but will tie together Solo with the Boba Fett film, obiwan, Lando, any other "standalone" films - also I don't think they can resist the ultimate fan service pander to have Boba Fett & Darth Maul appear in the same film (and possibly fight?)
Matt P
2018-05-29 23:40:20 +0000 UTCThe thing that puzzles me with Lucasfilm's intent with Maul returning is this - the movie really doubled down on the canon of the CLONE WARS / REBELS cartoons, not just that Maul is still alive, but all of his design, and other elements like the Pikes. But REBELS also killed off Maul for good in season 3 in a pretty classy (and shockingly restrained) 2 move lightsaber battle lasting less than 2 seconds - so are they bringing him back... but then can't kill him (again) onscreen because that appears in one of the cartoons most people haven't seen?

2018-05-29 23:38:19 +0000 UTCI think I'm more or less on the same page as Rich Evans for this one - I think Rey also used some sort of Falcon escapepod in the Last Jedi -

2018-05-29 23:36:08 +0000 UTCThat was one of the best Half in the Bag episodes you guys did in a while. Thank you :)

2018-05-29 21:42:49 +0000 UTCI knew I wasn't crazy!!! Solo made me respect the franchise again HURRAH

2018-05-29 20:51:31 +0000 UTCAlso one of your best episodes but I may be drunk
Tomas
2018-05-29 20:50:35 +0000 UTCSorry in advance.. They covered obiwan Darth maul in Star Wars rebels, twas quite subtle and a good episode

2018-05-29 20:45:42 +0000 UTCThe adults are talking now.

2018-05-29 20:34:34 +0000 UTCThe opening and the ending of this HitB are well done!

2018-05-29 18:52:11 +0000 UTCHSASWS was mainly a nice fluffy summer-flick. Jay is expecting too much I think.
Erwin Wolff
2018-05-29 18:13:13 +0000 UTCI like the collection of Vampire Assassin accumulating there. Hope the copy I sent is one of them.
Layla Valentine
2018-05-29 16:44:17 +0000 UTCI'm 100% with Jay. It's weird (and scary) to see after all the whining about TLJ on the internet how many people (including Rich and Mike apparently) enjoy this below average, lazyly written, snoozefest. If this was a "fun ride" then the lesser Marvel films are masterpieces.

2018-05-29 16:40:37 +0000 UTCI think Carrie Fisher was wrong when she said "it's about family". Star Wars is about a top half darth maul teaming up with Obi-Wan Kenobi to beat a bottom half darth maul spider robot.
@WebSquirrel
2018-05-29 16:19:47 +0000 UTC100% agreed with Jay.
2018-05-29 15:24:56 +0000 UTCOf course the Empire has an over-engineering train. They're useless with appropriate transport - they go for enormous, slow walkers on vast open snowy plains, and 600mph speeder bikes in dense forests.

2018-05-29 14:57:27 +0000 UTCAw, I hoped this Half in the Bag was gonna be for Show Dogs
James Robertson
2018-05-29 14:52:05 +0000 UTCMy good friend asking me to prom in a Darth Vader mask (and saying “I find your lack of a prom date disturbing”) is a better Star Wars story than Solo

2018-05-29 14:34:42 +0000 UTCWaiting for Mike to blow his pod...

2018-05-29 14:24:36 +0000 UTCI see you have more Vampire Assassin DVDs, Mike?

2018-05-29 14:18:17 +0000 UTCThat's not Chewie from Solo, that's Chewie from RotS.. :O

2018-05-29 13:49:22 +0000 UTCI've got a baaaad feeling about this ®.
JAMES HUDSON
2018-05-29 13:47:17 +0000 UTCI’m guessing this is going to go exactly how I think it will.
Bill Lehecka
2018-05-29 13:46:27 +0000 UTCYes! Been waiting for this one...
