I'm still vaguely hoping this will have a firefly vibe in the end. I mean there is a train to rob right?

I always liked that Solo shot first. It made the change in him more apparent.
Greedo shooting first? Well he must have been a terrible bounty hunter to miss at point blank range, deserved to be shot.

This is star wars though . . . . . . all of the elite troopers on the Deathstar and not one of them could find their mark against a lumbering walking carpet, a rebel, a princess and a smuggler. Perhaps Qreedo made the mistake of using the same blaster supplier? lol

You're right. In fact his was probably the closest shot of them all.

Jawas are small targets so they did well to hit all of them.

True... and as Obi Wan points out... Stormtroopers are still more accurate than Sandpeople....he goes so far as to point out how precise they can aim... but maybe too many years in the desert sun has addled his brain.

This has been mentioned before, but the stormtroopers were likely under orders after the first firefight not to hit the escapees.

Remember Vader's plan was to let them escape and track them.

That said, I didn't see Last Jedi and won't see Solo.  Same as I don't bother with Marvel movies anymore.

If you told me as a child that when i was 23 there would be new star wars and Jurassic park films IN THE SAME YEAR, I'd have wept at being made to wait that long.

Now the franchise fatigue and endless cashing in on nostalgia has caused me to not care about these films. Sure you might say they're for a new generation of fans, but I think it's unfair to only offer new fans hand me downs that are tied to old franchises for marketability.

If this movie was called "Space ranger Mcaw (As it very almost is in china) and stripped of its star wars packaging then the trailer would have dropped like a turd in the night.
The Jurassic world trailer actually sort of upsets me for reasons too long and boring to list.
But it seems this is the point i'm at, I'm sad at new movies coming out because instead of being able to conjure up the excitement i want to feel at seeing something I love, I've been so bombarded with these franchises over the last few years that I just don't care anymore.

Nerds have destroyed their own culture. They are stupid, they will insist on having something until it is ruined.

What Disney is doing to Star Wars has remarkably little to do with the desires of the audience.

I'm sure lots of 'fans' said the same about Lucas.

I'm pretty happy with all the Disney efforts so far. Top of the shop being Rogue One. The Solo trailer has got my interest.

Bang on. Disney aren't stupid, they bought Lucasfilm because they knew there would be an audience for more Star Wars films and they could make money from it. Clearly if you believe they should not have made more SW movies then you're not their audience. I think Disney got the right talent in have done a great job so far, but I guess there will always be the diehards, sat in their caves, clutching their VHS copies of the unremastered original trilogy to their chests, rocking as they mutter "Han fired first" over and over again.....

Solo might prove to be a straightforward heist movie but will still hopefully be entertaining despite the behind the scenes antics.

My comment from before seems to have been deleted?

All I stated was that some people are just repeating the exact same opinion over and over - which is fine, but not half tiring. Some comments are just bewildering.

Too much angst over here.

It seems that some people are just trying to bait others to get a reaction on this thread and just repeating the same thing again and again is rather annoying and childish, I agree.

It is only a film trailer......nothing to get too upset about, surely.
If you do not like it, do not watch it.

This looks decent enough. I hope we get to see Solo do the Kessel run.

I wonder if that will be the bit at the end of the main trailer?
