Solo commentary track (I watched the whole thing and didn't even look at my phone)

Start this right at Chewbacca’s second roar and Ron Howard’s credit and it syncs up swell!

I just watched this and enjoyed it. Too bad there will never be another one. Wow, almost six years to the day. Is that sad? I feel like that should be sad...

This was a blast (like from a laser blaster in the Star Wars movies) and actually made it worth rewatching this movie. At the end you said you thought it would be more fun with an additional person, I for one would love to see you and Bailey do commentary for another one of the movies as a drinking game.

Dunno if anyone's still watching the comments, but: I had a great time with this. Thank you. Jenny, if you want to go back and do Last Jedi, I'd love to watch that commentary as well.

Late to this, but thank you for your service Jenny!

Im Late, but this was really fun!

I know I'm super late here, but this is brilliant! And it's definitely improving the film! I'd love more of these in the future. Although based on how often Jenny is yawning and checking the time, I assume she's not enjoying it as much as I am.

My husband and I finally watched this with dinner tonight for my birthday. Couldn't have asked for a better virtual dinner companion to watch this masterpiece with us.

It is January 2023 and I just watched all of Solo while listening to the commentary. Pretty fun, movie was a mess tho. Guilty pleasure of mine but not great

Holy shit, this post is 3 years old? 😂 Well, I've been eyeing this listing in the rambles master post for a while and finally felt in the mood to sit down for a viewing. I thought it was funny when Jenny was like "are spoilers ok? what if someone was just experiencing this as their first viewing of Solo?" because that's exactly what I did. 😂 I found it funnier that I was being introduced to characters and then immediately informed by Jenny that they were going to die in 10 minutes. Well, thanks for an entertaining experience. ^-^

I feel conflicted about this, on one hand this commentary was fun and I appreciate that Jenny took the time to do it as it was very entertaining, it's especially nice having a voice in my ear that echoes my complaints about the length of this movie throughout the runtime but on the other hand I've now seen Solo twice! I really would like more of these though, it would be fun and good excuse to rewatch some more movies, as long as it's not land before time or it's many sequels.

Even though I watched your main channel video wherein you mentioned that Enfys Nest "seemed like someone who we were supposed to recognize, but hadn't actually shown up before" I had THAT EXACT REACTION TO HER watching the movie along with your commentary.

Thank you so much for making this. It really did make me feel less lonely!

Finally had an afternoon where remembered I wanted to do this. Watched the whole movie, and definitely wouldn't have without the commentary to entice me. I would love to watch more with your commentary, so if its something you'd be interesting in doing again, I'm down.

I love Star Wars but I haven't been even a little interested in watching Solo for even a moment of the past 3 years. Luckily, my city is in a lockdown again and I'm out of other new Jenny content, so here I am finally watching this movie that I know won't feel like a Star Wars movie at all, spending 92 minutes of my saturday night in a constant state of disappointment. Thanks, Jenny, for inevitably making this more bearable! (I will report back if I happen to love the movie, so don't expect to hear from me again lol)

This was really great. I quickly mixed your audio with the original and threw the combined file onto my Plex. I might as well have been listening to you doing a real commentary track on the Blu-ray, and it was awesome. I know it's been a year now, but you should really do more of these. They don't have to be for films you hated like Solo, but even for things you're enthusiastic about would be super fun. I think people would really enjoy just hearing you talk about why you like them. Thanks so much!

Absolutely loved this. Great job!

Your commentary is more entertaining than the movie

I decided to put this on while doing some work around the house and I just realized this means that Solo was the first movie I watched this decade.... thanks, Jenny.

Such a great way to spend a cold winter evening, thank you so much for this! I watched Solo for the first and only time with your commentary, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I hope we can get more of these in the future!! It was really good!!!😂😂

This commentary track was amazing! Really liked thinking through which parts were Lord and Miller. I hope next year you consider doing another one!

This was quite interesting. I probably wouldn’t have watched this movie otherwise! The spoilers were actually fun.

finally a reason to watch Solo!!

i finally got a chance to listen to this and it was real fun! thanks for doing this, it was so cool of you to do something extra for us (especially when it meant you had to rewatch solo) (incidentally this was the first time i'd seen it so i'm now off to watch your video)

This was fun! I have no idea when I would have watched Solo again without this incentive. My partner had not seen the film, so with the commentary was her first time (and it worked well).

It’s imperative that we get to the bottom of this mystery! 🧐

You were in a car accident??

Finally watched Solo tonight thanks to this! This was super fun. If you do more, I'm certainly up for it.

This was fantastic! I'd enjoy one for Rogue One sometime in the future, or maybe Dumbo or something

This was the only reason I watched the Solo movie...

"Bad news Beckett, it's a Western again until the end of this scene." was hilarious :D

Watching with this commentary was the first time I saw Solo, and I can't imagine watching it straight, I would have just turned it off. The "Han is Corellian" thing always bugged me, too, because the only mention of Corellian anything in the OT is when Han says: " I've outrun Imperial starships. Not the local bulk cruisers mind you, I'm talking about the big Corellian ships now." Nothing about that line implies that the Falcon is Corellian, or that Han is. If anything it implies that what we call "Imperial Star Destroyers" are probably the Corellian ships Han is talking about.

Also, in the first card game, Han loses his non-existent ship, so he owes Lando a ship. Everyone including Lando just immediately forgets about it.

One of my objections to this movie is the opposite of Jenny's, which seems weird. It seemed to me in Empire Strikes Back that Han and Lando actually had been friends, but in Solo they don't like each other and don't look like they will ever be friends.

Really like the idea of more commentaries! Though I find I'm doing literally anything other than watching Solo while listening to this. I'm wondering if I should just listen to the commentary and enjoy Jenny make occasional observations about Solo while I play Switch or something.

^ Same! Love when you said "Can you imagine anyone listening to this commentary during their first viewing?" - my partner and I laughed because given the reviews there was no way we were watching it otherwise!

The only reason I watched the movie was bc your commentary came out, & I think it made my first time watching it WAY more bearable than it would’ve been otherwise, because WOW is bad. Also the trench scenes & the whole Thandie train sequence felt ripped from Firefly, wtf was that about??

I watched the whole thing! And yes, boosting cars is an old as dirt term for stealing cars. They even use the term in the fast and the furious movies too!

That was great. I did break it into two viewings, your stamina is above par. I had no idea about the script reworking, and now a lot more makes sense. Especially the opening act which I see is 100% throwaway now. Maybe they could kill them off after season one of Disney+ Solo (GOT style)? But it all seems way more gratuitous after the fact. We can only hope it's all explained in "Duo: The Adventures of Jimmy Scrambles - A Star Wars Story"

I really liked this! You seemed worried about not talking enough, but I doing other things while I watched this so I didn't need it to be super dense. I also think its funny Solo and Infinity War both have major yet completely forgettable antagonists named "Proxima"

Thank you for this!! I 1000% enjoyed this commentary track and would love more. You talked the perfect amount of times. I loved hearing the things you enjoyed about the movie, like the droids. It'd be nice to watch a movie you enjoy in the future if you ever wanted to do commentary tracks again! I'm sure it was a slog to get through this long, not-so-great film.

This is the only way anyone could ever get me to watch or enjoy Solo, so thanks, Jenny!

Just finished watching, I've been home sick and this was the best surprise ! Thank you !

Thank you for this bonus (American-made) content! I usually feel plenty appreciated after your rambles, but this was a fun surprise, and I hope you know how much we appreciate you in return! :)

Thabk you so much jenny!

Just finished it and.... well if you do do (giggles) another one, and I hope you do, I suggest you pick a film you really enjoyed or one which really bugged you, rather than one which had you looking at your watch after 20mins. I watched in England, and things sinked(?) up perfectly btw. The google/wiki searching during the commentary was a nice touch.

I don't own Solo but I will definitely be playing this commentary over "Solo" by Frank Ocean

You know, one of the problems with this movie is that when the guy playing Han says "I'm a terrible person" you don't really believe it. He's just got too sweet of a smile. Harrison Ford could make you believe Han was actually a bastard. I don't believe at all that Alden's Han is a bastard.

Truly great bonus material! So glad you have good sound gear.

Very nice. Thanks Jenny.

Hell yeah! Didn’t think I would ever watch solo but here we are

Brave.

Ah heck, I guess I'm finally going to watch Solo. Thanks, Jenny! 💖

I can’t wait for the Rogue One track for next years appreciation day

Didn't honestly think I'd willingly watch Solo again, but here we are! Thanks for the awesome surprise.

The most dastardly ploy to get everyone to do the Disney+ trial. And I'm gonna do it. Damn.

I'm so glad that I took a long flight last year or I never would have been bored enough to watch Solo. Even at that it was sort of a toss up which was more interesting: the movie or that little graphic thing that shows you where the plane is on a map. I'm glad now that I stuck with the movie through the end. I feel like it's early Christmas, extra Jenny content! Thanks!!!

I sensed a disturbance in the force. It was Jenny giving me an excuse to finally watch Solo.

Jenny be honest, did you consult on the next Star Wars as a name consultant? "Zora Bliss" feels like one of yours.

I don't want to be to gushing here but you are someone I'd welcome hearing ramble on whilst watching a 2hr movie. So provided you didn't find the whole experience an excruciating pain, I'd say more please, si vous plait. - btw, not listened to it yet, need to get a copy of the film, so if you say at the end (words to the effect of) "oh god, that was awful, doing this broke me inside, never again... NEVER AGAIN!!!!" - then oopsie... but I'm hoping not. :)

I've never seen Solo and had no interest in it. but I'll for sure watch it now!

These American made videos have me feelin super patriotic USA USA USA USA USA USA

I know she's trying to be entertaining throughout, but it's funny roleplaying that I'm trying to watch this movie for the first time and follow the plot but Jennys just that friend who keeps talking during all the important scenes

You betrayed us all by making us watch Solo again, but after all, isn't that what the spirit of Solo is all about

You know what I've never seen Solo so this is the perfect opportunity to watch it with my friend Jenny ;P

hmmm i guess i should watch solo then, huh

God I completely forgot that stupid piece of lore about Han's dad being like an unemployed factory worker in the space rust belt. It feels like pandering to middle america but just... why? middle america is already sold on star wars you guys you don't have to try so hard.

I needed this thank you 🥺

What a delightful surprise. You're so good to your fans. Looking forward to this.

I never thought I'd watch this again and get this much enjoyment out of this boring movie. I laughed so hard when they destroyed the skull! This might have been one of the best perks of being your patreon, please do more of these!

I didn't hate this movie, but I planned to never watch it again. Those plans have changed!

i'm not even a star wars fan, but i love your commentary, so i'll suffer through this film. jk... still not a star wars fan, but i love your commentary on anything, so i'll gladly "suffer" ;)

YESSS. Thank you!!

Thanks to YOU, Solo-Gon Jenn. Will gobble it up. Yeah, the only downside is I might just have to re-watch the movie/lecture. Or order themed takeout from Denny's. Started up a Nicholson playlist in Music and ... have ... populated. Look out hiking trail.

Ditto to the omgz . I luvz me audio tracks. And if you go off on tangents the morez the better.

Holy crap now I want to see the movie

OMG! Thank you Jenny!

I have tried to watch Solo twice so far and neither time got past the opening action sequence, turning it off once during the speeder (?) chase sequence and once at the end of that sequence. With this commentary - audio only - I made it past the death of the initial heist team even though it's got big sections of silence while waiting for mandatory action scenes to end. This commentary is more engaging than the movie *even when Jenny is quietly sipping a drink for two minutes*. I'm restarting now and will actually watch the whole movie. While also listening to the commentary, I'm not crazy, no way I can last the entire movie by itself.

I’ve never even been into commentary tracks before but that was fun. I never looked up the extent of the reshoots so you pointing out when and how much the original cut and reshoot clashed kept it interesting. I would ask for a Rogue One track in the future but there are plenty of bad movies that are more fun for this kind of thing, and having to commentate one mediocre Star Wars spin-off is already enough as is. Overall I rate it as a real good, built tough, American-made audio track/10

Countdown to start is at 2:18 if you're trying to resync

So I have to say, I've already now watched the whole 2 hour and 15 minute affair along with your commentary, Jenny, and it sure isn't any better with subsequent viewings. That said I loved your commentary track! I might need to increase my patreon tier.

Jenny thank you so much for this, it was incredibly fun and unexpected, and really made me feel appreciated as a patron. I know you said this is a one time thing but I would absolutely love if there were more of these, maybe a new patreon tier? I hope you will consider it if this was not too much work, because it really is a lot of fun to watch a movie this way.

I'm about halfway through, just wanted to say that this is hilarious, the quality is on a par with the commentary tracks that RedLetterMedia does. Thank you for doing this. I hope it does become a thing.

Jenny this is a really cool thing you did that I never would have expected. I love things life rifftrax or film and 40s (giantbomb). There are movies I wouldn't want to watch on my own but am curious about, this will get me to watch solo now.

By the way Jenny, "boosting" is commonly used for stealing cars in our world... you can say "boosting cars" and people would know what you meant.

How many times in the commentary track do you mention snakes and/or snake racks? Do you ever say "As clever as a snake"?

Thank you jenny

“Watch Solo on Netflix“ is a phrase I never thought I would say to my Apple TV, but here I am!

"Lonely enough to want "...damn Jenny, I signed up to your patreon to support your videos, not to get roasted. I feel so called out.

this patron-exclusive commentary track signifies that in a roundabout way I will have paid actual human money to watch the movie Solo: A Star Wars Story two separate times, which like... on the one hand I'm ashamed and frustrated but on the other hand I must consume the Content

*sniffs* How does she know I’m lonely??

I was never gonna watch this movie but ABRUPT PLAN CHANGE - thanks Jenny!

Oh what a treat definitely feeling appreciated! I'll watch it Friday after the latest baba yaga episode.

I can't say how pleased I am to get such a fun thing! Even if there are gaps, that's just fine, it will most likely feel natural. I'm queueing this up immediately!

I've never watched any Star Wars content before, but I am just lonely enough to watch so long as you are doing commentary

I appreciate you, Jenny!

This is literally the only thing that could make me watch that movie again. In my heart I dislike Rogue One more but my brain recognizes Solo as the worse movie.

When you posted that Tweet about doing something different, I was hoping you decided to do that commentary track idea. I'm so excited!

You know what, I was feeling lonely...a long commentary track is legit perfect timing. Thank!!!

Fantastic! Can't wait for the weekend now.

Oh wow, I’m so excited. Stuck at work until 12am but will be checking this out right after. Probably the only thing that will make Solo watchable again.

Oh I do want to listen to this Jenny! You don’t give yourself enough credit for how much fun you can be :)

Thank you, Jenny!

Whoa! I know what I'm doing tomorrow

havent listened to the commentary yet obviously but ive always liked the idea of getting to watch a movie with u so im stoked

Do you have this in an 11 hour stream of consciousness format?

We love you Jenny.
