Don't make me kill you.

"Fun" is all I've ever expected or cared about with this one, and it at least seams to be that. While I never thought it'd be bad, and said as much over the past year or so, I never anticipated it to be a truly great Star Wars movie either. A Han Solo prequel always had a ceiling.

With Star Wars in general I'm kind of in a state of flux anyway. It's almost a numbness. After the disappointments of both TFA and TLJ, I'm now just hoping Abrams delivers something mildly entertaining with Episode IX - something that at least ends the Skywalker Saga on a relatively high note - but I no longer have any grand expectations. Kenobi of course has the potential to be amazing - I'm still hoping for Lawrence of Arabia in space - but who knows how that one will turn out. I still know next to nothing about the filmmakers, and the lack of an official announcement by now is somewhat concerning, but maybe Lucasfilm has learned their lesson not to say anything until they're absolutely certain they have the right story/director.

At this point, the Benioff & Weiss movies are the ones I'm truly excited for. I'm willing to give Johnson another shot and see what he can do when he isn't restricted by the events/characters of a previous movie, but the B&W movies for me are the ones I'll likely get (probably too) hyped for. In other words, I'm more than ready for the current era to be over and done with - the saga films and these prequel/origin stories alike - and move onto whatever the next phase of Star Wars is going to be, one not beholden to the past.

You mean the two movies that have a RT score of 93 & 91, a Metacritic score of 95 & 85, and are #1 & #7 in the box officer all time?

I enjoyed TFA, thought it was as good of a "reboot/continuation" as it could be. But TLJ was very underwhelming.

You've already set yourself up for disappointment if you expect Disney to make a Lawrence of Arabia in space.

Donald Glover's Lando Calrissian Is Getting His Own 'Star Wars' Spinoff, Teases Kathleen Kennedy

Well, here we go...

I've said this multiple times, but Disney is going to make me hate Star Wars.

More sources reporting the story. I hope this doesnt end up being true... Lando is a really good supporting character. I really dont care to see an entire movie about him. I guess this could change after seeing Solo

Katheleen Kennedy: "We think that the next spin-off will be dedicated to Lando Calrissian"

Link to Story

I agree. He is a fun side character, but I don't need a story for him

Boba Fett Prequel sounds better.

No it doesn't. The guy hardly talks unless he's a stupid kid saying 'get him, hehehehe'

At least Lando could be a character arc going from scummy scoundrel to responsible owner and proprietor of an upscale mining guild in the sky.

Kathleen is making $, but she needs to be fired for lack of vision. She is slowly ruining the property. It's exactly the opposite to what is happening with the Marvel brand.
