I actually think Proxima is pretty cool. Def better than Unkar Plutt. That’s who, exactly? One of the aliens? Because I like their design. Han and the girl are in the car-thing, flying away…

Nearly had a run-in with a truck… This actually feels like that Star Tours ride at Disney World, more than anything else Star Wars-related I’ve seen so far.
Also feels like that Star Trek reboot in a way.

Did he get his surname yet? What do you think of that?

I like the girl. This Han’s fine so far, just a little generic. Oddly, this feels just very Disneylike, I’m not sure why. Rogue One didn’t feel anything like Disney, but it went overboard in trying to be different (I thought).
Is it just the print I’m watching, or is the lighting dark and ugly?

Are they at war right now? This whole beginning is very gray. First urban smoggy, then war zone gray. It’ll change with the setting. The Disney feel is more due to Ron Howard, I think.

The war will be more background to the seediness. Woody’s character is pretty stereotypical, but he’s fantastic.

Star Wars in Mayberry?
He’s meeting Chewie, now, it looks like… I don’t really need these two beating each other up.

What I like is that he’s not playing the “Woody Harrelson part” that Woody’s been taking recently, even if the role is stereotypical… I guess I forgot they mentioned Han had been in the war? I imagined him as having been on his own since the beginning.

I imagined him as having been on his own since the beginning. Indeed. It was only 3 years. And only a few minutes of movie time. The great train robbery here to get the macguffin hyperfuel is a standout part of the movie. And the team is well characterized. Rio, the alien, is kind of endearing. Thandie Newton is great.

L’amour, c’est étrange, but you do some crazy things for company when your girlfriend’s been captured by stormtroopers on another planet. Star Trek ’09. Yeah, um, yeah. So far this kinda feels like a nothing-movie, if that makes sense. And, like Rogue One (one small point of similarity), it feels set on earth, what with this camping sequence and everything. Harrelson and his girlfriend are pretty fun. OK, this Han looks more like young Orson Welles than like Ford. Same rounded face and nose-shape, eyes not exactly the same but same general shape. Strange casting choice.

This is the train now? It’s good, but it feels so grounded–which is oddly a criticism here. So far there’s nothing about this that seemed wondrous or that made me intrigued by the outer-space setting. I’d be doing Sam proud: this movie has to be embrace the wondrousnessnessnessnessness!
Yeah, I always like Thandie Newton too.

It’s just filling in gaps. Honestly, it’s hard to cast a young Ford. Look at how long the casting and choices were discussed before this movie was really a thing.

What’s weird is that I’m mostly liking it so far, even if I’m not really all that invested in it. It actually reminds me, mood-wise, of Thor: Ragnarok. But, like Rogue One but in a completely different way, there’s just something off to it that doesn’t feel like Star Wars.
