First of all, I am a Star Wars fan for 30 years. I was deeply educated by the old trilogy in the era of scarcity of sci-fi movies. Although the restart of Star Trek is not bad, I will also watch the popular Marvel universe, but In front of Star Wars they are completely incomparable.
Regarding this solo Star Wars rumor, I have been looking forward to it since the project was established. Mickey Mouse acquired Lucasfilm, of course, was interested in the oil and water of Star Wars, but if there is a good story, we can see more Star Wars movies are not what Star Wars fans want. Speaking of this, let’s talk about it in two parts. Star Wars 7 and 8 produced by Mickey Mouse’s family are simply disasters in my opinion, while the two rumored works “Rogue One” and this “Ranger Solo” can be played. High scores, at least in my Star Wars movie rankings, can surpass the Star Wars prequel trilogy directed by Lucas himself, and are comparable to the existence of the old trilogy.
Explain why solo is good.
The 8th episode of Star Wars has been filmed, and there are no less than dozens of main characters who have appeared. Who will be used to start the Star Wars personal show biography? The famous Skywalker family members are not suitable, because the whole real universe revolves around this family, and there is no material to dig; Boba Fett, the bounty hunter who is loved by many Star Wars fans like me, is a good one The choice, but the personal show is about a villain, which seems to be a bit out of line with Mickey Mouse's positioning; Obi-Wan, who is worthy of a solo show among the decent characters, is definitely one, Anakin Skywalker's master and close friend Luke Skywalker's enlightenment Teacher and guardian, but he seems to be too arrogant and upright, and a bit of a face; then solo, he seems to be both righteous and evil, but he is a righteous person in his bones. Gao Yanzhi fell in love with a woman from the Skywalker family and gave birth to a child. There is no more suitable for him to open a rumor first. Of course, there is a black solo remark that "a Star Wars movie is not a Star Wars movie without a lightsaber." I personally think this statement is too superficial. The Star Wars universe is so huge, how many people really have the Force? Aren't the other characters and stories worth mentioning? The widely acclaimed rumor "Rogue One" also only appeared at the end of Lord Vader's lightsaber slash. In fact, Darth Maul also lit up his lightsaber at the end of the solo, and Moore's rank in the Sith is no better than Vader. .
Going back to the solo movie, director Ron Howard (doesn't know what the two originally directed, but it is rumored that the reshoots reached as much as 70%) is much better than the previous DC reshoots of "Zhenglian" (that is to say What about you, taillights), from the results, it can be said that it is very good. First of all, the style of the movie and Star Wars 1-6 can be said to be very unified. Old Star Wars fans can feel this at a glance, especially valuable. Yes, it is closer to the classic old three (4-6) in terms of the overall color application of the film and the setting of props, vehicles, and various characters.
In terms of color, the "too dark" scenes that are questioned by many people mainly appear in the three main scenes (planets) in the first half of the movie. The shipbuilding planet of Corellia is mainly in the underground dock, and the battle after the solo enters the Imperial Military Academy takes place. On the quagmire planet of Mingban, join Beckett's thief team to hijack the imperial freight train. It is a snowy and icy planet. These places are supposed to be dark tones. If it is too bright, it will be a drama. Spice Planet Kosher and Refined Planet Savalin are still very bright in shades.
Don't be too harsh on the storyline. Through a movie, tell us Han Solo, where he came from, how he became the captain of a space smuggling ship, and his lifelong partner before meeting Princess Leia. Chewbacca and the first time of the Millennium Falcon, it is enough to be able to talk about this.
A good story needs the support of good actors. For a movie like Star Wars, you don’t need Oscar-level acting skills. What’s more important is to find an actor who matches the character’s temperament, especially in a rumored movie like Solo, after many characters appear in it. It's going to grow into a Star Wars legend, so you have to get old fans to be happy with what these legends looked like when they were young, and that's the real hard part.
First of all, I am very satisfied with Chewbacca (hahahahaha), I am indeed satisfied with the more stunned looking Chewy (although the first time I knew his age, he was already 190 years old at that time); secondly, I am also I am very satisfied with the young Lando Calrissian. His appearance, appearance, and pretentiousness in his gestures make it easy to imagine what he will look like in another 20 years. He is the one who set a trap in Yuncheng to capture han. Later, he personally participated in the rescue and eventually became the general of the rebel army.
What is controversial is the male protagonist Han Solo. To be honest, when I first saw the movie stills, I really didn't like this guy. To be fair, if you want to find a person to play the classic role of Fu Bo when he was young, who can play it well? Think about it, anyway, I can't think of a person who can actually play this role without being scolded. Now this one (sorry, I really don't remember the name of the deity) belongs to the awkward face at first glance, because I always compare Faber's han in my mind, but as the plot progresses and you get into the drama little by little, you will forget Faber's appearance, and slowly accept that the young han is this person, and some of his little actions and expressions are still the same. With the shadow of Han Solo, people look a lot more pleasing to the eye. In short, if you want to say that the male protagonist ruined the whole movie, I personally think that he should not take the blame for this.
Let me talk about the points that excite me as the plot progresses:
1. Hang the pair of golden dice on the stolen M-68 rearview mirror;
2. "Give the surname" solo when Corellia enrolls in the Imperial Military Academy (...is it really good to explain the origin of the surname han like this);
3. The first encounter with the "monster" Chewbacca in Mingban;
4. Beckett gave han the weapon blaster pistol that accompanies the rest of his life;
5. Meet Lando Calrissian for the first time;
6. The legendary spaceship Millennium Falcon, which debuted for the first time;
7. Han and Chewbacca piloted the Millennium Falcon together for the first time, and the classic Star Wars theme that sounded in the background at that moment;
8. "I have a really good feeling about this";
9. Beckett hid the unstable nuclei he stole from Keschel under the deck of the Millennium Falcon cabin, which turned out to be the place for this kind of thing all along!
10. Beckett hints that Han should go to Tatooine to look for new opportunities after the event in front of him, while Luke Skywalker is still milking his uncle in Tatooine.
11. Moore appears and lights up the lightsaber.
There must be a lot of details that need to be re-finished and searched carefully, but the above has made me very satisfied with the solo movie.
Finally, a question about the timeline of solo in the Star Wars movie. I saw a review earlier that this movie happened even before the prequel "The Phantom Menace", because Darth Maul appeared at the end of the credits, and Darth Maul was cut in half by Obi-Wan in the prequel. The person who wrote this review may have only seen the original Star Wars movie. Moore appeared in the two Star Wars cartoons "The Clone Wars" and "Rise of the Rebels", abandoning his Sith identity and leading the way. An organization similar to the galactic underworld is at the same time as the enemy of the empire and the rebels, which is more in line with the setting of the villain behind Dryden in the solo movie. So on the timeline, the solo takes place after the first prequel "Revenge of the Sith", before the first "A New Hope", and before the rumored "Rogue One", because in the solo they mentioned that they might steal nuclear weapons Scarif, one of the planets of the core element, this planet is the imperial safe that contains the design drawings of the Death Star, and will soon be wiped from the universe by Tarkin's Death Star 1...
