Solo Bad
Good morning!

I like how so many of these old star wars videos feel like foreshadowing for the Endgame video where it's revealed that so much of the weirdness in Jenny's comments is from Star Wars fandom spillover
for some reason this came back to me today, maybe the good characters aren't complicit in droid slavery if they remove their restraining bolts and the droids stay through choice maybe. still luke bullseyed womp rats so he is not that ethical
If that guard lady intended to capture both Han and Qi'Ra, she never would have opened the door in the first place, she already had the vial. She only announced one trespasser, she obviously figured one vial was good for one person. The guards didn't start coming for Han until he started yelling for her.
Its odd i kinda want to watch Solo just so everytime they say Han Solo i can quietly say Jimmy Scrambles under my breath.
Is Solo signaling the exhaustion of of the Star Wars aesthetic? <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/the-growing-emptiness-of-the-star-wars-universe" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/the-growing-emptiness-of-the-star-wars-universe</a>
It would be hilarious if on the same page there was an article about the 18th Marval movie approaching 2 billion dollars wouldwide. Of course it couldn’t be inferior movies that are the problem, blame Star Wars!
"Why does he say he trusts no one if he clearly trusted his loved ones?" Because everyone he trusts is dead, you idiot.
If you are calling Jenny names you are definitely out of line. If not you might want to rephrase and be more clear what you are talking about. Plus, your agrument (if I understand it) doesn’t make sense. If someone dies to save you if makes it MORE clear that some people are worth trusting. It shows there are honorable people out there in the universe. Mother Theresa is dead but her existence in time proves your can completely devote yourself to the poor and people still today try to emulate her.
“Lawrence Kasdan’s son” was low-key the sickest burn of this video.
As I was sitting through the movie, I remember asking myself "what is supposed to be enjoyable here?" Solo was kind of like a weird homage to the scrapped EU and its over-literal, curative fandom at its finest. Excellent arbitrary list.
I keep reading "EU" as "European Union" and being baffled at how dismissive everyone is about an entire continent.
The preview picture made me laughs out loud actually. :) Will save the video for when I have seen it (which might be a while).
I had most of the same problems with Solo that you did but I came to the conclusion that I enjoyed it and found it fun anyway. I always enjoy your Star Wars videos - glad to see it's possible to dislike aspects of Star Wars without being a jerk or a creep about it. cheers
also, when C3p0 keeps introducing himself as "C3p0; human cyborg relations" what exactly dose that mean? Is 'protocol droid' a euphemism for something?
What anagrams can we make from "protocol droid"?
if Lando was in an relationship with C3p0; and Han has a crush on Lando would this explain why Han is such a dick to C3p0?
I'd rather watch this than Solo. Lord & Miller have the last laugh. Time to can KK.
My favorite section was 45:45-45:57. So glad for this callback!
Harrison Ford is Han Solo. I don't know why anyone thought this movie would be a good idea.
Thanks for the review! I LOL'd! And I can skip this one until it streams later this year!
I didn’t see the movie, but I got a pretty good laugh out of my brother telling me about the Teras Kasi line.
Great job, as usual! I am not sure what it says about me, but I keep randomly laughing to myself when I think about the “smash cut to graves” comment.
The Falcon's Notch story from the expanded Universe still holds. Lando said he made a bunch of modifications. One he listed was adding an escape pod that fills the notch. It's canon. Lando said it himself in the Solo movie.
Before I watch: I quite enjoyed Solo, there were a few cringe-worthy spots but overall I had fun. I am sure I will enjoy your take on it too :-)
Another great video...time to enjoy "the sweet smell of SIX-cess"!
During your patreon crawl there is a segment with three straight people named Andrew with German surnames. I hope someday we have a Jenny prequel which will explain how this happened. Maybe we can meet Jimmy Scrambles.
Three consecutive people. I don't know if they are straight.
I'm not going to spoil it, but the Harlan Ellison joke was the funniest thing I've heard, well, since your last video...beep boop. And, since you asked, I think the numbers helped break up the video, so it was a good choice. Keep up the good work, you are the best thing on YouTube.
It would be cool if you did a non-spoiler review because I don't know if I'll ever watch this video. I figure I'll watch it after I see the movie... whenever that is
I think for Jenny’s brand of review a spoiler free review might be impossible. Unless it’s a clip of her saying “This movie sucks!”
I want to watch your version of this film for the Lando romance.
Was going to wait till I saw the film to watch your video, but this morning when I typing in "Solo showtimes" the first thing that popped up was the big spoiler. At least now I don't have to wait to watch your video! So ya to that.
Can we talk about the implication of Chewbacca having been maneating before "Han Individual" was thrown into his Rancor-lair...? Like, is it just me, or does that to a degree collide with what we knew and loved about that character?
The return of the Snoke dance
The attitude emanating from Skippy when he rested his plush paw on the overturned cup as if to say "Yeah, we got liquid-filled cups, mugs, and bottles on unprotected duvets, what of it?" was my favourite thing up until the return of J I M M Y S C R A M B L E S.
*grabs morning popcorn*
Re girl droids: there's an episode of the 1980s Droids cartoon where R2d2 has a girlfriend; a pink astromech droid with tennis shoes. She literally gets eaten alive by the episodes antagonist and they never speak of her again. not sure if this is still cannon
