Will there be a sequel?


I would like to see Maul and Solo in a fight.

That sounds terrible.

You know you like it Mr. Elsenor!

The Maul scene was the worst scene in the movie. Possibly the worst in your face shitty fanservice moment in Disney Star Wars yet. Especially when he ignited a lightsaber for no reason at all.

Seriously, that scene almost ruins the whole movie.

reply

I hated it, too. He reminded me of a TV wrestler.

reply

Project name is Solo II, Princess Soylo takes your shots first. XD

Kennedy makes stupid decisions so anything is possible. Rian Johnson is still working on his SW trilogy that nobody will bother to see.

reply

Willing to bet you a tenner they never get made.

reply

Solo shouldn't have been made. But, they are really, really, really stupid. Really!

reply

Yes, they are. I mean just look at this supposed trilogy. They announced it - officially - before TLJ even came out. I mean, how arrogant do you have to be? They had no idea what the reception to TLJ was going to be, they're already 2/3rds through an existing trilogy that had no overarching plan and Lucasfilm give RJ a trilogy, to write AND direct and he didn't even have to pitch for it. He apparently just asked for a trilogy and they said yes.

This is when you realise they do not have a fucking clue what they're doing. Objectively. We can all argue about the sequels, about how good, how bad they are, but ultimately it all comes down to personal opinion, but this... this is just hubris.

reply

You just reminded me that they had no clue about the sequel trilogy either. There was never an outline for it. Three different writers/directors doing their own thing. Someone described Last Jedi as a reboot of a reboot.

It wasn't just the fan boycott that doomed Solo. The general audience stayed away too. Disney stupidly thinks fans will return for Episode 9.

Darth Maul was the proverbial set up for Obi Wan: A Star Wars story, but that's not gonna happen now LOL

reply

Especially since there's no need. Kenobi/Maul's conflict was fully resolved on Rebels.

reply

Yes I saw that recently on Youtube. I was never interested in the cartoons and hadn't been impressed with the few bits I did see but this scene... there was more conflict, drama, pathos and story telling in these two minutes than anything since RotJ for me. I was blown away. It just show's there's amazing Star Wars stories to tell, *if* they're written by people that are concerned with telling a good story.

reply

Just looked the scene up. I've watched very little of Rebels. Just the Ahsoka eps. I did not realize they already resolved this arc. So.... why the hell did they reintroduce Maul on screen? That's doubly confusing.

reply

Because they literally don't know what they're doing. And if you had any doubt this proves it!

reply

a sequel?

to the first SW bomb?

er..

reply

Alden signed on for 3 films, but I don't know if that's just for movies or appearances. There will most definitely be no Solo sequel at this point, but he could show up in the Obi-Wan or Bobba Fett movie as a minor character (if those even get made now).

reply

Felicity Jones signed on for three films too. Maybe she never really died either.

Shit, is anyone really dead in Star Wars now?

reply

Of course there will be a sequel. Disney wil not throw a $300M budget at it or probably any future Star Wars but there will be multiple sequels with more modest budgets and longer lapses between films.

reply

Solo will probably get a sequel by default, simply because they're left without a return property once 9 drops. Solo is the only established fruit still on the vine till RJ launches whatever the hell his trilogy is.

reply

Maul is dead since Ep1. Doesnt matter what fairy tale sh*t Disney is doing,
