I actually enjoyed Solo, and would probably dig this one too.

[–] Pistcow@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

It was a fun little adventure.

I love solo! Maybe it’s because I really like worldbuilding of stuff like games in fiction. (I love playing sabacc)

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Great movie if they remove the "Solo" from the title.

I've been watching/listening/reading about "Little foot big foot" and "Lithonia" today.

I thought the Lando movie would involve old Lando (Billy Dee) after TROS, since they heavily implied at the end of TROS that he and the black girl (can't remember her name at all) were going to look for something.

But I'm good with Glover playing another major Lando role, he absolutely nailed it in Solo.

I still got my fingers crossed for a Young Indiana Jones Chronciles/How I Met Your Mother-style framing device where it's Billy Dee Williams and horse girl cruising the galaxy in the Falcon, with the whole flashback to young Glover Lando as some old fisherman's tale he's telling that's clearly being embellished in his favor

She was his daughter, but the story was cut.

[–] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's the first time I'm hearing about it. I guess this was in some visual dictionary, behind the scenes or a novel then?

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Looks like I'm wrong about this. I could have sworn I read an interview where this was mentioned but nothing I can find says that was ever a plan.

Edit: read below, someone found that it may have been implied in novels and deleted scenes.

[–] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol, could've been some wild fan theory. I guess it's just a weird scene at the end of TROS that feels like they could've left out.

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, lots of people tried to "fix" the screenplay, and they were mostly drastically different, sometimes in a good way, and sometimes in a "Rey was a robot the whole time" way.

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Here you go. Check the Behind the Scenes section. Sounds like it wasn't going to be explicit in the movie, but heavily implied.

Or we could just do something new...

[–] Takeshidude@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm all in for this
