STAR WARS EPSIODE 8 POSSIBLE SPOILER
i read that Han Solo is coming back in Star Wars Episode 8 ...I don't believe that for an instant - it would totally undermine his whole death/death scene. Not to mention, how on earth would he have survived that? |

Not to mention, how on earth would he have survived that? Might be in Flashbacks. My guess is we're going to see quite a bit of back story for Kylo and Rey in 8. Not that far fetched if they go that route. |

I didn't think of that - I just immediately thought they would be bringing him "back from the dead", which would be a bit far-fetched(!). |

More like his conscience |

Right now it's all but official that Boba Fett is the next anthology film Disney plans on rolling out.. After Rogue One and the Han Solo films.
There is something to be said about what Disney is doing with the Solo and Fett movies.. But I don't have the energy right now to get into it.. All I'm saying is, it's lazy, uninspired, and unimaginative.. Not only that, it's 100% SAFE.

If they go the origin route, we'll have to get ourselves a new Han Solo. |

The only thing I'd like to see in a Han Solo origin film, is how he got the Millennium Falcon from Lando.. |

Would love an old ass Billy Dee Williams playing a young lando. |

Not to get him into yet another franchise, but honestly, Chris Pratt could, or I've heard Liam (?) Hemsworth, who I think could kick its ass too tbh. Personally I'd rather an Obi-Wan movie instead, maybe set between 2 and 3 and it can be about him trying to get to the bottom of the Clone Army stuff. |

I'd like to see some sort of Darth Vader movie. Something set between Empire and Jedi possibly.

I hate the act we're getting Han Solo movies. We don't need em. Boba Fett on the other hand, a one off movie wouldn't bother me since we barely got him in the original trilogy. A random movie of him going after a bounty for Jabba would be badass. Don't make him a hero but a man simply out for money would be great.

I personally believe Boba Fett is THE most overrated character in the history of cinema.. He gets all of this credit and praise for what exactly? He doesn't actually DO anything.. He is a jobber.
Jango Fett was more bad ass than Boba.. Boba couldn't even capture Han Solo without help from the Empire.

Jango Fett was more bad ass than Boba.. Boba couldn't even capture Han Solo without help from the Empire. He's amassed a cult following for 35 years and he's now, quite comfortably, one of the most popular characters in Star Wars. The Holiday Special, his overall cool look and the appeal of his Kenner figure, the fact that Lucas made a special point to go back and give him an origin story, general love for the Slave I, and most definitely him escaping the Sarlacc and his various stories from the EU, there are countless reasons to love Boba. Jango was just Lucas capitalizing on the popularity of Boba, and getting video game money out of it haha. Boba definitely deserves a movie and makes some of the most sense for any of the spin-off concepts. Anything along the lines of Vader or Boba Fett, situations where you don't have to visually recast an actor, are great ideas imo. Not to mention, they should likely be incredibly profitable. I'm ok with an Obi-wan movie, primarily because of everyone's general acceptance of McGregor, and the fact that he's a very good actor. The Han Solo movie is the one film where I'm just very "really?" over it the closer we get and especially after seeing EpVII. It just seems totally unnecessary, and that's coming from someone who will 100% see it regardless. I think the only way to really do it well would be to have Harrison Ford in a cantina telling his story and then have Chris Pratt be the main star of the younger Han story. I guess we'll see, as it's not that far away from needing to be in development. All things Rogue One seem absolutely awesome so far. I'm just trying to take all things Star Wars one experience at a time right now. |

I'm not a huge Star Wars fan. I was as a kid, but The Phantom Menace basically killed all of my interest. In short, I watched the original trilogy a dozen or more times during the rerelease era when I was growing up. I was ecstatic about The Phantom Menace, I saw it in theaters, absolutely hated it, and never touched Star Wars again until last month.
I spent the month of December watching all six films. Episode II and III for the very first time, Episode I for only the second, and the original trilogy for the first time in sixteen years. It was quite an experience. I still disliked Episode I, very much disliked Episode II, really enjoyed Episode III, and returned to my childhood and had tons of fun with the original trilogy.
So, I ventured out to finally see The Force Awakens this weekend and was absolutely blown away. It was incredible. To me, tied for the best film of 2015 with The Martian as of right now. I can't recall a time in recent memory that I've been that enthralled at a theater.
With all that being said, I'm going to approach all these spin-offs and side stories cautiously. Again, as someone who certainly enjoys the films, but is not obsessive, I question whether or not saturating the market with Star Wars movies will make me think less of them. Marvel has avoided that issue, for the most part, but I don't think I'd complain about seeing less super hero movies from them. I don't know, it just seems to me that it's going to make the main entries feel a little less special.

I'm generally not a fan of prequel movies, so I am cautious about these side movies.
I could certainly live without any of the ones that have been planned.

I guess we are chalking Star Wars up for the win already as the highest grossing domestic movie of all time. I don't think it can be official, official, until the full Wednesday numbers are in tomorrow but it only needed 2m and it's made 8m in each of the last two days.
So, it took Star Wars 20 days to do what Avatar did in 330 (including a re-release) and regardless of adjustments for inflation, that's impressive as hell. I'm not sure if it's going to pass Avatar's worldwide amount, primarily because Star Wars is going to be on Blu-ray by April, but it's already done enough as far as I'm concerned. It still hasn't released in China yet either. I expect it to easily coast into, at worst, second place all time at the worldwide box office.
I'm sure it will likely be passed in my life time, inflation being what it is, but it feels damn good to have Star Wars on top.

The movie still has to open in China.. So maybe it has a chance.
I wish there was statistics that included the inflation of prices. Breaking records isn't that big of a deal anymore, honestly.. Compared to 1999 or the early 2000's.
It is truly amazing though how insignificant of a role Avatar has had in pop culture. Highest grossing film of all time yet it's one of the most forgettable films to ever exist.
If it didn't hold that record, I seriously doubt people would remember it.. I only remember it when people speak about the record.

I only remember it when people speak about the record. Box Office Mojo has the adjusted list. However, there are plenty of flaws in comparing current numbers even with the adjusted numbers. For instance, Gone with the Wind played for 4 years and came out before people had TVs in their homes. The competition for some of those movies was non existent. www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/adjusted.htmAvatar made so much money because of the visual aspect of the film. It was sold as an experience, almost like watching a special attraction at a museum. I enjoyed it. The story was Dances with Wolves/Ferngully but it changed the way we make/watch movies. It's not timeless though. If you didn't see it in the theater, you probably have no idea why it was ever a thing. It has almost no replay value imo. |
