      @wielderofspoons 3 роки тому +8

      I like that it was a trick because Han is resourceful enough, but also I could see that it could have been a legit one off that blurred between attuned and sensitive, maybe the magnet hadn't been turned on the first time, but because Han doesn't like to put stock in The Force he just shrugs it off and reinforces its all his own trickery.

      @Juanma_Cardona0725 3 роки тому +9

      @@wielderofspoons I like to think Han is force sensitive, but he keeps it hidden from everyone including Luke and Leia, he doesn’t want to rely on the force, he rather use guns and tricks to fight and that’s completely on Han’s character to do that, in fact, if I was in the Star Wars universe I would rather be a Mandalorian than a Jedi, why? Simple, Jedi have to be checking their emotions constantly, if they get a little angry they instantly become Dark Side users and Siths, meanwhile if you are a mandalorian you don’t have to do such thing, you can just kill whatever or whoever you want without going full Sith Lord, maybe Han learned that from Luke so he kept his force sensitivity hidden from him, it would explain his insane piloting abilities, it’s the force guiding him, it would also explain his insane luck and plot armor, remember Jar Jar and his insane luck? Yeah, Han gets out of situations most people would be screwed in
      Survived being shot at by armies of storm trooper like 3 or 4 times maybe more
      He always feels there is something wrong before anything happens
      He has insane piloting skills even better than trained pilots
      Hit Boba Fett while being blind and then shot a tentacle while being blind too
      Found Luke in middle of a snow storm
      Shot a trooper without even looking in ep7
      Became a Ghost in Ep9

I also wished, not criticizing but wishing that the green chick spoke an alien language. But that's all. Stunning just stunning. I love the effort.

      @Tommy Gunn why does everyone hate solo so bad? I thought it was pretty great couldve been a bit better but im more mad it didnt franchise. I felt like Solo was a bit of the new star wars feel but other than that. This captures the whole original saga feel and that space western element which was my favorite thing about Star Wars. Jw

    • @justicesparks4434
      @justicesparks4434 5 років тому +9

      @Tommy Gunn word up cause I thought the story of how Han & Chewie met was was really priceless. Lando's robot lover LG ibelieve or something was weird touch but hilarious. And i thought the acting was really fucking solid. Like i really thought the guy who played Han was perfect. This guy was just as good but i also think that was due to the character being so amazingly fleshed out by Ford's Original Potrayl. Like I think Han & Chewie just come to life of the page because theyre so iconic and loved. Not to say it's an easy mantle just one that is easy to picture so if the scripting is a good potrayl an actor can feel themselves get into the role. At least thats how it for me but I'm an amatuer so what do i know. Lol

At the first reveal of his face, I thought I was looking at a CGI redention of Harrison Ford. Also, this was well shot for a small budget. This reminds me of Steven Spielberg's well shot short "Amblin" that got him hired to do TV in the early 70's. Disney could save milliions by hiring this actor and director and come out with a better movie.

And Han Solo, boy- Costa did a great job of capturing his humor, aloofness, and disdain for "hokey religion and ancient blasters." The artifact fanatic played by Jones definitely seemed obsessed over his treasures and appropriately sly for villain. Props also to the set designer and VFX coordinators! You chose great locations and created believable scenes. All the details y'all attended to helped *tell* the story , rather than distract the audience and take away.

      Jamie can literally do a spot on Harrison... You just need to understand that this is supposed to be a young Han Solo. You can definitely hear a combination/transition of a young Han Solo to the Han Solo we know now

    My God did this you nail that cocky grin of Solo's and his speech mannerisms ("Yeah yeah. Take it easy...") perfectly! What is Solo's face made of to not show any blood and just a slight bruise on his nose? We saw the Twi'lek bleed but not Han despite a roughing up. Loved her intensity and the contacts on the actress' eyes. Twi'lek's are sometimes presented as eye-candy but this one was taking as good as she was giving.
    On a side-note, I absolutely LOOOVED the scrappy fight in the beginning. It didn't look like a highly-choreographed martial arts performance but a sloppy bar brawl (which just goes to show how talented all involved on both sides of the camera really were to give that appearance).
    Who DID they end up selling that to anyways XD

    Just an AMAZING job!!! It looks just as good as the films and the casting was spot on! Keith Allen did a great job with the pacing and followed YOUNG George Lucas's cardinal rule of not being so caught up in your super cool set that you waste screen time showing it off! The best way to actually live in a surrounding is to LIVE in it! Don't be wowed by every little thing. Just treat it like you've seen it a million times before and that will sell the reality you are trying to create. Well done!
    Jamie Costa has got 1977 Harrison Ford down cold! He even has a similar bone structure and in some scenes (particularly the silhouette shot at night in the desert) he looks like nearly a perfect double for Harrison/ Han. Couple that with his mannerisms (Ford-isims), general cocky-ness and "in over his head bravado" and you've got the best damn screen Han Solo I've seen since the original!
    Finally, I just can't say enough about Andrew Gerlicher's score! Not only was it well recorded and played, (THANK YOU for being able to use a live orchestra!) but well written too. I liked his hybrid of John Williams' themes from both the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises; most notably "Marions' Theme" from "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" and "Across The Stars" from "Star Wars: Attack of the Clones". He never played them note for note, but wove them into a familiar tapestry that resonated with the spirit of the film. I also like and agree with his choice to stick more to the Indiana Jones motifs. Beyond the obvious point of who played both characters, Han is a more action oriented character on his own and needs a more rough and tumble score, so it was great to hear Gerlicher tap into that.
    I tell ya, Disney now has a pretty tough act to follow in my opinion, and you have DEFINITELY raised the bar for all "Star Wars" independent films to come!
