jenny i accidentally left your videos on autoplay when i fell asleep and i had a nightmare where all society lived in a dystopian theme park where you dictated who died by roller coaster depending on how thematically relevant their movies were

My problematic trait is I’m okay with this form of government
the wildest thing about han's last name origin is he and lea decided to pass on his made-up lonely boi last name to their son instead of her actual royalty last name
“I want this child to have my name.”
“You know I’m literally royalty and the prestige and honor this kid will get by having my name will help him in almost all parts of life, right?”
“.... Ben Solo.”
“Aight”
@@tiredtypes1260 I mean why does Luke have the last name Skywalker and not the last name of his adopted parents, Lars, like Leia Organa. If he's supposed to be hiding from the Emperor why keep the last name of his father?
Because let’s be honest, Luke Lars and Ben Organa just don’t sound as good
Kids whole name is a mess. Ben instead of Obi is like Kunta Kinte's godson being called Toby....

@@davidwit7749 and @The Media Angel Why are these not the top comments!? XD
The main thing that bothered me about the movie is that they took all the things we knew about Han's past (blaster, Chewy, Kessel Run, won Millennium Falcon in a card game, friends with Lando, etc.), and all of that happened in like a week. So everything noteworthy in Han's life pre-ANH happened in one crazy week.
I know I'm a year late but the same thing happened to Indiana Jones in the Last Crusade during the opening flashback. Both Harrison Ford roles.
@@guin705 I was so disappointed by it but I watched it again and thought it was fine. I’m happy there are people that like it. I think I’m in the minority but I just wish they would have released the original directors movie.
@@guin705 At least in the Last Crusade, it was just portrayed as the start to Indies adventures
At least in the Han Solo books back in the day, all of that stuff took 3 full-length novels to get. Not saying the books were good literature, at all, but it felt better to see him build up to Han Solo after years, not just a super awesome guy's weekend.
Glad we left Bria behind though.
Woah... you just made me die 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The "warrior is actually a woman" twist was exciting when it was done in Mulan... the legend from the fifth century CE!
I really wish we got more of Enfys, and just her being a cool warrior girl all the way through the film.
Actually, I would straight-up burn a couple of cities for a comic or show based on the Ahsoka/Enfys artworks that Critter of Habit made.
@@blokey8 YES I KNOW THE FANART YOU MEAN
Also hello person also watching this in August 2021 for some reason
@@snowycryptids I had a cursory rewatch recently. The film has a kinda similar thing to TRoS, I find, where it feels like material for several films or at least tv episodes is frittered away on momentary scenes. Enfys in particular feels like she should rock up for an episode or two of Rebels each season
@@blokey8 Yeah, I totally see what you mean. I would love to see more of Enfys, and her interacting with Ashoka would be absolutely incredible.
Mulan is not a legend per se, in the sense something regarded by the people having some truth but got embellished. It was written as a fictional story and people back then understood it as a fictional story. Like Robin Hood or Sherlock Holmes. Nobody would call Sherlock Holmes stories "British Legends," right?
To be fair, in it the "Warrior was a woman" wasn't even an important part of the story. The war was won and Mulan invited her brothers-in-arms back to her home. It was only there they were surprised to find their buddy was a woman. And the story just ends there. Disney just had to bash "sexism bad" over the head all the time and only ever do this when the setting is about nonwhites.
Maybe Han's real last name was the friends we made along the way.
this is an extremely underrated comment
That's a long last name.
Han The-friends-we-made-along-the-way
Thank you Doctor Professor Master Sensei Teacher Mentor Instructor Brainiac Leader
Han Chewie-Lando-Luke-Leia
The movie would’ve been saved if when Han was saying his name the guy said “Han What” and we get a sharp zoom in to his eyes looking left and right dramatically and we get comic zoom ins to things around him and him muttering no until he sees a storm trooper carrying a red solo cup and that’s how he’s named solo
Hahahaha I love this
"carrying a red solo cup..." when you have to explain the joke, it's not a joke anymore.
John Jamele what would you suggest
@@michaelas7262 "carrying a plastic red cup" would have worked too probably, if I could speak for the above jerk.
Someone remake the movie so we can have this scene!!!
Imagine if Han changed his name everytime he got a friend like Han One Han Two Han Three
😂😂 after the original trilogy he has to change to, han married and then for the sequals, han divorced
it would have to be Han Duo and Han Trio
Han Solo, Han Duo, Han Trio, Han Quartet, Han Quintet, HAN SEX!
Han: Friendship Is Magic
I can just imagine him crying in the Falcon as he moves his name down a number after Ben leaves
Lets be real, the Imperials would write Han N/A, and he would then be referred to as Hanna
also given they recruit from all sorts of planets (especially poor farm planets) I wouldn't be surprised if half of all stormtroopers just . don't have a last name. although given that it does make more sense that the officer says "who are your people" instead of "what's your last name"
I would have preffered "Solo" to be a placeholder last-name for orphans in Imperial paperworks (sort of how bastards in Game of Thrones have words like "Snow", "Sand" and "River" as last name)
That’s a legit good name
Also a Disney property. The crossover we didn’t know we needed?
The idea of Han being a trophy husband and Kira just telling Darth Maul "yeah that's my boyfriend" is amazing to me
"What of it?" 😆
I'm still refusing to see Solo because they didn't cast Harrison Ford and have everyone pretend he was young
my enjoyment of the movie would have increased tenfold if that was the case
best idea ever
They should have cast Danny De Vito as Solo and not said anything about it.
E. L. He could pull it off too
Thank you! That's what I said from the beginning!!
_Han meets Chewie for the first time in the pit:_ "Hey! Why are you chewing on that guy's back? I will call you...Chewbacca."
That's not what happens?
Nice.
'What's your name?'
'RRRAWWWRR (I don't have a name. I just chew people's backs apart.'
'No name, huh? We'll call you...'
I died
"Ewww.... Baka! Ah, this gives me an idea."
I realize I'm a bit late to the party, but the statement about the "blaster backstory" gave me a thought. If we wanted it to be uniquely Han's blaster, it would be fun if we had a scene of him buying it off the rack, and spending a lot of the movie tinkering with it, modifying it, playing with it. Have a running gag where his latest mod makes it malfunction in the middle of a firefight (also a fun opportunity to force him to trick or bluff his way out of tight spots).
Then during a climactic fight, with no real expectation of the thing working, he pulls it off his hip in a pose reminiscent of the Return of the Jedi movie poster look, fires, and it works exactly like it does in ANH for the first time, right sound, right recoil, everything. Han is now THRILLED that his gun actually works, and the payoff for a running gag has shifted things in the climax.
Just a thought.
that's a really good idea
God, that would've been AMAZING
Hello, I would pay you MANY monies to go back in time and be the writer for this move.
Except Han's blaster isn't special. Luke literally has the exact same one. Check the scene in Ep V when he draws it on Dagobah when R2 goes under in the swamp after they crash land. It's just a stock blaster.
i wouldn’t have liked seeing that bc it’d feel like one of those pure fan-service moments that doesn’t really make sense within the universe.
Han’s blaster is only special to us, because we like Star Wars and it’s iconic in real life. but it’s not a special blaster to han, and never was, and making it uniquely Han’s in retrospect doesn’t feel natural at all
How did Han get his name? A guy gave it to him.
How did Han get his gun? A guy gave it to him.
How did Han meet Chewie? A guy GAVE Han to Chewie.
This just further reinforces the idea to me that Han was like Chewie's third of four pet dog since Wookies live for hundreds of years.
And we only think he's the sidekick because he's a swarthy guy who speaks in "bar bar bar". This is a perfect way to view their relationship lol
So Fun fact: in early drafts of revenge of the sith, George Lucas wanted to include han solo being chewies adopted "son". Like child han would just be raised by Chewbacca. The only reason it got cut was because they didn't want literally every original trilogy character to be in the prequels. Wich is fair, but I would've chosen "han solo was Chewbaccas son" over "Anakin built c3po".
@@awesomegaymer5786 Anakin build C-3PO was fine. It plays into that idea that the droids were there for literally the entire journey of these characters, all six films. But yeah, very much a fan of the idea of Han Solo being raised by Chewbacca.
@@godofthecripples1237 why couldn’t C-3PO just also be Padme’s droid. She’s the ruler of Naboo, a protocol droid would be super useful. If anything Anakin should have build R2-D2 because an Astromech is a general purpose droid. Where did Anakin get 6 billion languages to put into 3po?
Recently someone on a facebook post pointed out how Chewie caressed Han's hair when they reunited at the begining of _Return of the Jedi_ and I couldn't help but think "Wow, Chewie is literally petting him"
And he gave the child a cruel name;
A name that means "All alone"..QuasiSolo
Quasi means "half" or "partially"*
So.. AlmostSolo. Almost all alone then, not too bad
@@MrAdryan1603 "modo" means "just/only/recently" in latin according to Wiktionary, so maybe the guy should've called him ModoSolo
to indicate that he'd just met han
@@Flowtail Oh my, lol. Hahaha
If "Solo" means "Alone" then Latin for "All Alone" would be
"Pan Solo."
I love a Jenny’s idea to have Han going around in away too small version of the uniform. They could have one of the guards stop him and be all “HEY YOU... is that the new uniform?” And then have a follow up joke where that guard comes back again and is all “THAT’S NOT THE NEW UNIFORM! This one is.” And he’s wearing an even skimpier version of the original uniform and he hands Han one.
🤣🤣🤣
Oml i wish XD
Eventually the uniform is basically like a bikini made of white stormtrooper armour
@@daneroberts1996 god I wish
This movie had so much potential to be a hilarious comedy. Some of the hardcore Star Wars nerds would’ve been pissed, but I think most Star Wars fans would’ve been fine and the general public would’ve probably loved it too
I was excited to see Maul, but I can't deny how weird it is that the only character he interacts with is a very normal, modern looking human woman in a cocktail dress and winged eyeliner.
It just felt so weird. Like "yeah one sec Carol, I just have to skype call my boss, Satan." It was like an ABC daytime drama suddenly got interrupted by Lord of the Rings. It doesn't help that her name sounds so normal. I thought it was just "Kiera" for the whole movie.
Kiera Knightley sold her soul
Disney Pixar sameface for women and character design for men, but on real human people
I like to imagine that Han and Chewie don't really ever speak each other's names properly. "Chewbacca" is just a complete failure to pronounce his actually name, and then he decides to shorten that. Meanwhile, if Chewie tries to pronounce the name Han, it just comes out as a frightened sounding yip, so he just expands it out into a nickname, which roughly translates to "Frightened of Emotional Commitment."
g e n i u s
Han calls Chewbacca Chewie.
Chewbacca calls Han Jimmy Scrambles.
I could imagine wookies are capable of producing a sound that's vaguely similar to "Han" in the same way some cats make a noise that vaguely sounds like "Raoul" when they're horny
Chewbacca actually saying 'chewbacca' is the best twist I've ever heard
And give him a deep sensual voice when saying it for no reason.
It doesn't make sense. Where is he getting "Chewbacca" from?
"Chewbacca" is not an English word obviously, so it's not a translation. And wookie language is a bunch of howls and grunts. Chewy isn't voicing anything similar to "Chewbacca", so that name isn't an anglicization either.
"What is your name?"
"He-Who-Chews-Bacta"
"Chewy it is!"
Jane It might be a good twist, but it wouldn't logically made sense if you've seen The Clone Wars episode "Wookiee Hunt" (Season 3 finale). In that episode, Chewbacca introduces his name via his usual growls.
I think Solo could’ve worked really well as a buddy comedy/space heist type of flick, a lighter foil to the typical philosophical/political leanings of most Star Wars movies.
@Tom Ffrench well, a lot of people died and slavery was a big part of the movie, so it atleast has dark elements
The origin story might be the biggest problem. That, and it doesn't show how Han and Lando actually became friends.
So like a lord and miller movie
I thought it did, as exactly that.
Spaceballs
It legitimately makes me sad solo wasn’t a comedy road trip movie. That would have been so good 😭
Id enjoy a montage of them flying in space with some vance joy song playing in the background lol
I made the prediction that they would stoop to providing an unnecessary origin explanation to the name "Solo", but my prediction was that it would be a nickname given to him by fellow smugglers for refusing to work with a partner. Which would also make it more impactful when he takes in former slave Chewy.
"Hey, Han. I've got an inside tip for a sweet job to run. Easy money."
"Don't waste your breath. Han doesn't work with anyone. Isn't that right, "Solo"?"
But no. An airport clerk gave it to him to fill in a blank spot on a form. Amazing that professional paid Hollywood screenwriters with months of time came up with something infinitely worse than some random youtube loser like me came up with in 15 seconds for free.
No, yours is equally bad.
Actually, not only would that "wearing a uniform that's too small" joke be hilarious, it would also be another Harrison Ford shout out (Raiders of the Lost Ark).
Rest in peace
@@InfinitelyAnon who’s meant to be resting in peace? I don’t think Harrison Ford is dead.
@@SorowFame Not Harrison Ford, Indiana Jones.
God, that’s such a missed opportunity.
What if he never wore a vest until he had to wear a jacket that was too small and had the sleeves ripped off?
"I have no mouth and I must B E E P B O O P" is amazing and i want it printed on a shirt
i feel like a lot of the problems with origin stories happen when they feel the need to give an origin to absolutely everything
In the opening of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, they take care of the origins of Indy's hat and whip in quick, clever ways- but those items were iconic. Han's blaster? It's a gun.
That's the main problem i had with Revenge of the Sith...seemed like soo much was devoted to get things to join up seamlessly with Episode IV, that it lacked a lot of creativity...t was just there to get on film stuff we knew or assumed must happen.
Proble here is they didn't understand the difference between an origin story, and showing the character getting stuff. Last Crusade did a great origin story job, it wasnt just like 'how did Indy get his whip...oh Marcus handed it to him one day.'
Cruella.
@@johnjamele I always assumed that he probably BOUGHT IT FROM A FUCKING BLASTER STORE. (Although, honestly it would make more sense for the Empire to have strict gun control considering the fact that they’d wanna erase the possibility of citizens rising up as much as possible… you know, like they did).
44:56 you know what would have been less embarrassing? If Han took a second of silence and introspection and he himself said "Solo"
And the guy at the desk is like: 🤷 whatever, you freak
Or his name was just Han Solo right from the start because it's fucking pointless to need to explain why his name is his name.
Being named Solo because he is alone is literally from Something Awful's fake leaked prequel script and I can't believe they used it.
yeah that was really dumb.im surprised they put that in there when the rest of the movie was really solid. except for the gargaling wookie sound
Jake Waltier Well, naming your character Solo because he (mostly) works solo is pretty stupid to begin with. We're talking about a guy who names his character Grievace, Maul, Tyrannous, etc. so the implication from the beginning is that these characters are all named after adjectives

@@TechnologicallyTechnical I mean... he "mostly works solo" only if you ignore the fact that he *ALWAYS* works with Chewbacca.
@@SchulzEricT he's a rogue, he's not allied with any organization, that sort of thing.
Donald Glover was so strong they should have just done a Lando movie
I think he was pretty weak until he started growing into his role 🤔
I would actually pay to see a Lando film starring Donald and Billy Dee Williams. But only if there was a complete lack of CGI'd dead people, and I'm not sure how they could make that work.
Glover is always a solid actor.
Glover and Ehrenreich were both annoyingly bad. Like they were both clearly just trying to copy Billy Dee Williams and Harrison Ford
It’s almost like they were trying to portray characters that have only ever been played before by Billy Dee Williams and Harrison Ford. Strange that they would come off that way
15:08 Han in a tight little guard outfit. Real guards look at him suspiciously. “Sorry, it uh...shrank in the wash.” Cut to Chewbacca in a floppy cute guard outfit that’s somehow obviously too big on him, he has to hold up the pants
The whole slime pool room tangent at the beginning is very entertaining to hear out of context when you have seen absolutely nothing from this film
I just assume that's useful life advice from Jenny.

This should have been in the movie
I thought it was Jimmy Sprinkles this whole time.
Yeah, when they reveal that the gang leader was a girl I felt very confused - was this a person I was supposed to know? Turns out the reveal was just 'she's a girl!' ... uh, great, she can join the club with all the other strong female characters in Star Wars.
Yeah, or I've seen people say that it was that she was young, but so are the rest of the people in this movie, I mean how old is Han supposed to be here? I was assuming like 20, which is more or less how old the gang leader is, so what is that supposed to mean?
Yeah I personally liked the movie, but when Jenny brought this up I was like "YEAH wtf was up with that scene?" Even now I can't believe that the reveal was just that she’s a girl... like please, that can't be it... it can't be that dumb, can it?
The reveal is not only is she a fairly young girl, but she is also helping the rebels. Both of those things were no suspected from earlier scenes.
Yeah I didn’t get that reveal either but... “all the other strong female characters in Star Wars”? For 50 years all we had was Leia. Now we have Jyn and Leia. Rey doesn’t count as she’s too widely hated and Padme could have counted if her character hadn’t become such a boring nothing in Eps 2 and 3. Can you name any other female characters, let alone strong ones? I can’t even remember the names of Thandie Newton’s or Emilia Clarke’s characters in Solo and I’m literally watching a review about the film!
@@HerHollyness Mara Jade, Ahsoka Tano, Asaj Ventriss, Aayla Secura ...
You can't say 'don't count Rey because people don't like her' that's not an argument for not counting a strong female in the series. For the record, the character has a lot of fans.
Neither can you dismiss Padme because you feel George did her dirty, she was still a strong character while she lived.
If we branch into the books, comics, and video games, that number becomes vast.
Not to mention the several strong female characters in the canon cartoons.

Your great point about Lando's cape is a microcosm of the problems new SW has. They don't understand why the original ideas worked so they can expand on it, they just mindlessly copy. Even Lucas didn't understand that old Ben Kenobi wore robes to survive in a desert, mindlessly making EVERY Jedi ever wear ridiculous desert robes, even if they're in a polished conference room on Coruscant.
That did provide a great line in one of the EU novels, where a Republic officer sourly thinks that Jedi might wear affected peasant robes, but nobody with a brain would believe they’re actually poor based on the quality of their boots
You'd think that Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon would have at least commented on how weird it was to visit a planet where the entire populace were accidentally cosplaying as members of their religious order.
To be fair, both Yoda and Ghost Anakin used the same clothes in ep 5 and 6.
I think it wasn't meant to be a dessert robe but is inspired by the clothing samurais typically wore in old Kurasawa movies.
Assassins Creed also ran into the exact same issue. The original assassins (or, the original assassins before Origins) wore robes because it helped them blend in in a city where robes were incredibly common to wear.
And then every other assassin after him (except Evie and Jacob, I guess) continued to wear large, impractical hooded robes that made it incredibly obvious they were assassins.
I film cosplayers at conventions pretty regularly and it occurs to me that this movie has had so little impact that even now, a year later, I have yet to see a single Solo cosplayer. Not one. I'm practically tripping over Reys, and I even get the occasional Jyn, but I haven't seen anything but orig trig Han.
The ultimate testament to how good a movie is.
Maybe because someone dressing up as Solo is going to look exactly the same as OT solo. Besides cosplayers are cancer if a movie has less of them it’s better for society

Let me tell you, I watched Solo with the Italian dub and the surname scene was even funnier because Han's "I'm alone" was "Sono solo" /because "solo" means "alone"/ and the guy just went and said "Han... Solo". They went from "The guard guy knows Italian I guess" to "I take things way too literally"
Then again, the Italian dub for a long time called Vader "Fener", Leia "Leila", Han "Ian" and my personal favourite, Tatooine being read as "Tatoo-HAN" instead of "Tatoo-een"
"I take things way too literally" would be a better explanation for Han being assigned the last name of Solo, if it wasn't for the problem that there is no reasonable response to "What's your last name?" that would include the word "solo".
...then again, that's a problem with the released version of the scene, too.
Having newly discovered this channel, I've spent the last couple days binging her videos. I'm developing a theory that this has been a secret many-years long Purple Mattress product placement project. In nearly every vid, she has her open drink just casually sitting on the bed with her. The drink never spills or even wobbles, but simply sits there, adding tension to the scene, as no normal open drink could ever withstand being sat on a mattress with a person as she constantly shifts her weight and does hand gestures. Eventually, we will be treated to a mattress ad which is just a montage of Jenny videos, camera pulled in tight on the impossible cup and its inexplicable stability, narrated by Jenny as Goodwife Bigfoot, but also wearing her MLP unicorn hat.
I'm puzzled by the assertion that droids seemed fine with their position in society in the other movies. The only droid I remember speaking on their own behalf is C-3PO, and he was CONSTANTLY COMPLAINING. He complained about how much being a droid sucked, and he complained about the situations he couldn't avoid being in, because he had no choice, because he was a droid.
Two of the first things we found out about droids, way back in the opening scene of Episode 4:
1: Droids can feel fear.
2: Droids aren't allowed to use escape pods.

On the other hand, the count choosing "Savage Oppress" for an apprentice makes a great deal of sense by those standards.
@@jacoblessing7929 And if your name is Sleazebaggano I feel like you have no choice but to go into a life of crime and sell death sticks.
@@SacredDaturana Joke's on you. His dad, Michael Sleazebaggano, was actually the manager of one of largest banks on Coruscant and a known philanthropist.
Admiral Bone to pick
He was promoted by Commander Nefarious, Captain I'm-a-bad-guy, and Admiral Bone-to-pick. In that order.
"Name?"
Han looks around and sees a package of Jimmy Dean sausages and someone cooking scrambled eggs
"Jimmy Scrambles"
I like the idea that Chewy convinces Han to put on the sleeveless uniform and he's walking around looking like a cross between a gym chad and a military officer.
Have them, like, safety pin the sleeves on and in a comedically appropriate moment they just fall off. Smash cut to daring chase scene involving common workout moves, which are obviously unnatural movements, lead by Gym Chad Officer
It seemed strange that Lando would tear across a battlefield to get to L3 and then bet the only part of her he has left on a poker match. Even one he thought he was going to win.
It also lends a slightly darker tone to Han winning the Falcon. If he was at all conscious of the fact that L3 was still in there it almost seems like he's trying to deliver some kind of fuck you to Lando. "I'm literally taking what's left of your dead bffgf from you"
Or they've already completely forgotten about L3 just like the audience was supposed to as soon as she was offscreen.
EXACTLY!!!
You're right and you should say it
I think that, at least in Legends continuity, Lando bet any one of the ships he had in his dock or shipyard or whatever, he forgot the Falcon was there so he didn't mean to bet the Falcon. Still a dick move to pick the Falcon out of all the ships on Han's part though.
Yeah, I was really hoping that Jenny would bring this up. L3 being stuck in the Falcon is bad, but at least she gets to continue going through life with her lover. Han kidnapping her is such a monstrous action, how on Earth is that supposed to be sympathetic, and how on Earth is Lando ever supposed to forgive him for that! Keeping this in mind on a rewatch of Empire Strikes Back and you'd be rooting for Lando to hand Han over and finally get L3 back.
They took a Futurama plot line and put it in the movie.

Thank you for making a video that is critical of the Star Wars franchise that doesn't feel like a Red Pill, Toxic Fandom rant. The movie can be flawed without being a strawman stand-in for whatever social agenda the reviewer wants to bash.

So Low: A Star Wars Box Office Story
KingOfMadCows so was empire sooo
geo koukkappakeepo but Empire made money back. The people who made Solo will be lucky if it broke even at best case. It’s a dumpster fire that Empire soars miles beyond
Empire Strikes Back had a budget of $18 million and made $200 million in America alone, more than 11 times its budget.
Solo reportedly had a budget of $250 million.
Originality is so 20th century
THE FANDOM MENACE (TM) doesn't even have to try to bring Kathleen Kennedy down . She did it to herself.
"I have no mouth and I must Beep Boop" is probably the only way to make that trope/sentence not existentially horrifying simply because "Beep Boop" is so silly.
Also, you don't need a mouth to beep boop. R2-D2 gets along just fine
It’s a strong contender for Jenny’s best line ever
Remember the first 10 minutes of Last Crusade, where we find out how Indy got his fear of snakes, bullwhip, and hat, all on the same day? Wasn't that fun? I think every shitty prequel that feels the need to explain the origin of every stupid thing is basing itself solely on that 10 minute prelude.
And the scar on his chin!
Honestly my favorite part of the movie was the WWI aesthetic trenches and stuff because honestly, i would kind of love some sort of All Quiet on the Western Front style war drama about Imperial Soldiers stuck on some world trying to pacify it and fighting in the Space Somme or something. Like we know what the Stormtrooper Corps is up to from the rest of the movies, lets give the regular Imperial Army some screentime.
"Admittedly, sitting around in the same clothes as yesterday eating space caviar is, like, a big mood."
I haven't seen Solo but after watching this video and realizing it's about half the runtime of the Solo movie I feel like I would rather just watch this video 2 times instead of actually going and watching Solo
@Tom Ffrench What. How. It's so bad and boring.
Okay, this is an old video, so it must exist by now: where do I buy the shirts that say, "I have no mouth yet I must Beepboop."
I'm like, 80% sure that's a reference, and monetizing somebody (some company) else's IP is a great way to get sued.
@@StarWarsomania To be fair though, pretty much anything goes on RedBubble it seems. We could make the beepboop shirt happen
Shane Del Rey Hey, I never said I wouldn't be down for a beep boop shirt. 😁
@@StarWarsomania Yeah it's a reference to Harlan Ellison's short story "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream". It's pretty freaky tbh and has become a classic in the post-apocalyptic sci-fi genre. When Jenny made that reference, I had a good laugh-- having read the story, L3's life amd fate fits WAY too well
I finally got around to watching Solo so I came back to watch this video. Man, when you said "Lord and Miller version" my heart sank. I completely forgot we almost got a Star Wars movie from the Lego Movie guys
A slightly better way to do it would have been:
Recruiter: "Han what?"
Han: "..."
Recruiter: "Your family name? Tribe? People?"
Han: "Oh, I uh... No, it's just me. I'm solo."
Ta-da! Still a bit hokey, but more natural, and it's better because then it's HAN naming himself, and not some imperial asshat. And really, why would Han keep his Imperial name after he left the service? Adoy.
I absolutely agree.
I don't think there needed to be a backstory in the first place but it kind of works. I think it's very weird this rebellious character would stick to some name he got to make it possible for him to register into the empire.
This Solo has no grit. There's no smuggler attitude to him. Pretty bland movie.
+Scott Davis
Considering it's a backstory that doesn't need to be a problem for this film.
Not saying that what we have now isn't bland, but he didn't need to be the same guy we see at the start of a New Hope, at least not at the start.
Yeah I HATED the way he was named. This is way better and now I’m angry
I'll fix it.
Recruiter: "Han what?"
Han: "..."
Recruiter: "Your family name? Tribe? People?"
Han: "Oh, yeah. Solo. My name is Han Solo. That's what my parent's family name is. Solo. Solo is my last name."
Recruiter: "Why are you talking like that? Like you're in on a joke I don't know about?"
Han: "Oh, it'd just be really stupid for someone to give me the name Solo, as if this isn't a universe filled with weird names and I was purposefully bestowed the name Solo like a cheeky wink at some kind of cosmic audience that reflects a devil may care attitude and general roguish nature."
Recruiter: "Whatever wierdo, move along."
14:46 Alternatively, have Han show up in the next scene in the uniform sans sleeves, with everyone giving him odd looks, to which he responds with some witty “suns out, guns out” type line
That's hilarious
Good idea let’s do the reshoots
that's also very in character, thumbs up
What if that was the origin of The Vest
Han: Sleeveless is a good look on me, I must get something like this, in black leather.
Expanded universe had *Chewie fighting a giant deadly plant* for the material he made his bandolier from.
It's almost like spending decades allowing creative and inspired people to tell Star Wars stories that don't need to be centered on a character from the original trilogy would give you a much better and more expansive world with better and more varied stories than if you have one giant company making a movie because they think it'll make money then fire the creative people they initially had making it because they had a distinct vision for said movie.
I disagree. I don’t give a fuck why chewie is a wearing a bandolier. You don’t even need to mention it, not in comics, not in films.
Palpatine: Rise my friend. From this day FORTH, you will will be KNOWN as... Jimmy Scrambles.
"I have no mouth and I must beep-boop"

"I guess he liked it so much that he wore it for the rest of his life!"
lol, it's his comfort bandolier.
I want that rewritten droid revolution scene so bad
Guard: “what’s your name?”
Han, quickly answering: “um, David.”
“Last name?”
Han, staring around the room, seeing a cart selling gourd: “pumpkins...”
“David Pumpkins?”
“ANY QUESTIONS?!?”
Yeah, several.
David S. Pumpkins!
Han: "Uh.... Jimmy."
Guard: "Jimmy who?"
Han, thinking rapidly: "Jimmy Scrambles?"
Guard, with a long, slow look: "Okay then."
David Solo Pumpkins
“And the Wookiee is...”
“PART OF IT.”
Recruitment officer: Name?
Han: Han
RO: That's it? Who are your people?
Han: I'm alone.
Me: nononononononoNONONO
RO: Solo.
Me: DAMMMITUGGGH!
To think that he could have been Han Non-Applicable.
This whole movie would be different if Lando had said: "I love that ship, she made the Kessel Run is 12 parsecs..." Then we'd never have to learn about it until THE LANDO MOVIE. DOH.
Me: Translates the binary on the vacuum droids flag
Also Me: "I don't know what I expected."
Did it say anything?
@@greywolf7577 If I recall, it said "Beep Boop"
If Lando cared so much about his droid and rights and slavery, then why did he end up running a mining colony with droid slaves and even a trash compactor filled with droids?
Sara Wilcker oh shit I totally forgot about that...
Because consistency is a thing that Kathleen Kennedy is not familiar with.
He's a complicated fellow that Lando. Jeffery Dahmer really loved black guys. He was complicated too.
because he realizes that droids are things, not people, and he realized there was money in mining?
@Aspiring Marauder But Empire isn't Legends, and that's the one with the droid graveyard on Cloud City (which was a mining colony). Remember?
Vos: No, my other associate!
*door opens to reveal Harrison Ford*
Vos: He's wanted you dead for YEARS.
See, that's what I call a joke
The missing bit from Han's ship is actually a cargo container. The Corellian YT-1300 is a light freighter He's basically driving around in a long-haul semi cab with no trailer.
"I have no mouth and I must beep boop" got my sub. Your stuff is an absolute delight, in the way that lamenting things that suck in a really insightful and hilarious way is delightful.
"I have no mouth, and I must beep-boop"
I ugly laughed.
Luc Gendrot screaming banshee or squealing pig laugh?
I was looking for this comment!
Solo's just lucky that the military recruitment booth is on the ticketed passenger side of customs. I doubt they get many people with a ticket to fly off somewhere recruiting so they can fly somewhere else to serve the empire.
That is a GREAT find, hadn’t tough of that. Kudos man 👌
I don't get it. Explain it to me slowly
Satan's Lot lmao ikr
Though people also plan to join the empire and so would purposefully pay to get a ticket to get through the gate? Maybe? I dunno
People /want/ to leave Corellia. It's not desirable to live there. There are also lots of poor people who can't afford to leave. Or there are those who don't have the freedom to leave (prisoners get dumped there and are basically enslaved by the gangs).
So if someone manages the freedom and money to make it past customs, they're not going to then sign away their lives to serve the Empire. You would think the booth would be on the other side of customs, where the desperate would sign up to get off Corellia because they have no other choice.
Even without seeing the movie, I absolutely love that idea about Mandalorian armour in the corner of the room being actually Boba Fett, who reveals himself to the audience at the end and shares a moment of passion with the woman, who broke Han Solo's heart. It's fricking poetic!
"I thought they had a growth moment, but it turns out that's just a thing they do."
Holy shit, with ONE LINE, you've summed up the laziness of the ENTIRE Star Wars EU (and yes, I'm counting the "non-canon" books). Because there's no single detail from the original Trilogy that won't be declared "the default" so it can be a reference in the Extended Universe.
- how did Han meet Chewy?
A GUY GAVE HAN TO CHEWY
I always assumed Han freed Chewbacca from Imperial slavers
Last Jedi be like "Let the past die." Solo be like "Hey look kids, it's your old pals Han, Chewy and Lando!"
Okay, sorry, I'm sure you're just joking around but I've heard so many people say this and it doesn't make any sense: that's what the VILLAIN and misguided characters said. The theme of the Last Jedi wasn't actually 'let the past die'. The heroes only succeeded by embracing the past, both through the rebellion hideout on Krait and by Rey insisting on learning about the Jedi.
hearing your descriptions of the comedic scenes actually makes me so sad that they didnt just have han be some actor with incredible comedic timing and give him the driest, funniest script. maybe like buddy cop movie style with lando or whatever. that wouldve been SO much more true to han's character
Jenny do you understand how fucking bad I want to see the tiny droid les miserables scene you described???
By Himself: A Star Wars Story
I wish Lando did all that stuff he did in the movie when L3 died, but then instead of mourning L3 he yells "MY MAP!" because she has the super map.
“Han what? Who are your people?”
“Han. Han Skywalker.”
This one should definitely have built/been an ensemble comedy romp along the lines of "Firefly." The assembled cast was absolutely perfect for exactly that. What a missed opportunity.
2:58 "Smash Cut to Graves" would be a great band name
Or a bullets era mcr song
I thought the same about "Space Monster Escape Scene"
But graves can't have a cigar?
@@samburnham3257 honestly yeah I could see that being some unreleased basement demo from bullets era
I don't get why Kira didn't just use the death note to get away from the guards :/
TRUE!
Imagining Lando in only cape and nothing else: now that would be memorable.
My favorite part was when Han Solo went to Sear’s and the employee was like, “I have one of these black jackets in stock. Actually there’s a vest version too”
Then it played John Williams music and zoomed into Hans face before he said, “you know what, I’ll take em BOTH”
And now I know how he got some of his clothes.
