Well, regarding messing Han up, I’d say The Force Awakens definitely screwed him up there, him and Leia, by essentially making them out to be bad parents and having Han relapse to his smuggling duties.

Rogue One was definitely good (too bad I couldn’t root for the Rebels anymore, not after I learned, or rather, verified that Lucas based the Rebels on the Vietcong and made America out to be the bad guys in the form of the Empire.), probably one of the few things in Disney’s lineup for the franchise that was actually DECENT (darn shame it’s not part of Legends, though...).

“Say contact with Star Trek vessels”

Puh-leeease! Star Trek is set in the FUTURE. The Star Wars saga was set “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far, away”.

If you’re going to pretend to be a nerd, at least TRY not to look like a noob...

“Han did not shoot “first”. Han was the only one who shot at all. Greedo just sat there and died. “

There is the correct answer - thank you!

“Time is relative.”

So that’s how it going to be? 8^)

For whom were these words meant: “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far, away...”

Good point. Better yet...these fans clamoring for sw to be this or that...why dont the fans write their own versions? You can have it as you want...will cost time and about a dime. Cant be that bored or useless to worry about what marketers and propagandists can massage onto a screen.

Wormholes....didnt st go into the future and the past before?.Why not make sw go to the future...st go to the past and they meet in 1933 and all protagonists take sides in usa vs russia vs germany vs japan? Wouldnt that be more interesting than the kindergarten plots and clipped dialogue and cheesy cgi? I mean have fun instead of the crapola being sprayed on the money spending sheeple.

They have, and do ... I have never googled Star Wars "fan fiction", but expect over 2,000,000 hits on Google and several thousand on YouTube.

There are some VERY well done YouTube videos mashing up Star Trek TOS stock footage with more than passable sets and actors, done at no profit so Paramount leaves them alone. Even the scripting is good. Amazing what people are doing.

The Ron Howard trailer shows Chewbacca and Han Solo walking down to the lake carrying fishing poles and Solo throwing a rock into the lake.

They politicized the franchise. They vaginized it needlessly too. Gravity doesn’t work in space (dropping bombs from slow moving bombers onto star destroyers), et. al.

It was a horrible film, from start to finish. The story didn’t make sense, and the physics was so bad you couldn’t suspend disbelief (Leia’s body should have exploded once it left the ship.) The ‘mary poppins’ thing was too much.

And probably enjoying it more than the fans. I should check those efforts out.

Seem to be a lot of opinions about a movie that no one has seen yet.

Ron Howard’s on cleanup duty. They fired the original directors and brought him in to finish it.
