    Happy Birthday, Ron Howard.




    Sorry. Couldn't resist. Didn't know old Ron had his birthday one day before mine.

    Loved that show as a kid. Did you know that the expression "jumping the shark" comes from there?

    Yes, I did know that. I also watched Happy Days.

    Mark Hamill in 'Guardians of the Galaxy'? Fans force the issue
    Are the galaxies colliding?
    A fan connects the Star Wars star and "Guardians" director James Gunn on Twitter, and a meet-up appears to be next.

    Episode IX will likely be the last Star Wars film for John Williams:

    The more material I see of "Solo", the less I am interested in it. It really does seem more of a Disney movie than a Star Wars movie.

    I want this movie to be great, especially because I don’t like what their doing with the sequel trilogy, however everything they are showing us looks half assed. Like they tried to make a Star Wars Film on 30 million dollars.

    The Last Jedi pretty much made my expectations for new Star Wars films hit rock bottom, I'll watch Solo though not expecting much.

    Yeah that poster does not fill me with confidence!

    I am boycotting that movie. Something needs to be done about those scriptwriters!

    Here's Tom Hardy's cameo in a deleted scene from TLJ. It's pretty cringey.

    I thought Tom was R2-D2.

    Oh dear god, that accent... It would have been funnier if he had used his Bane voice.

    Oof. I've still yet to see TLJ, is the humor in the film akin to that? Because that was a bit cringey to me.

    That deleted scene is bloody awful (pardon my language). God only knows what Rian Johnson was thinking when he wrote and directed that scene. I think that's an insult to Star Wars! Bleh.

    There is humor and at times it can be just a tad bit too much but IMO it's not anywhere near as bad as some people make it out to be. The Phantom Menace was far worse with humor. That deleted scene does not, and should not, represent The Last Jedi.

    BTW, according to Seven Moffat, the appearance of Peter Cushing in Rogue One was not CGI :

    This Han Solo movie looks really good!



    Also, by Chewie's age, that pretty much confirms this is 10 years before ANH.
    Maybe someone can help me: Harrison Ford was 35 when he did the movie, but I remember hearing somewhere 'Han Solo' was supposed to be 29. Is this true? Is young Han Solo supposed to be 19 here?
