I just don't care at this point.  I'm sure others do but I'd much rather just get the new main trilogy and not bother with any of these side store flicks.  But I've always been that way with any show/series, heck I don't even like prequels personally.

I'm in a mixed mindset on this, on the one hand I'd love to see this, but then I'm thinking is it just going to be another cash cow for Disney?

There's nothing wrong with it being "just another cash cow for Disney" if it's good and keeps to the spirit of the other Star Wars movies.

 

They are a business after all and I don't begrudge them that as long as the movie's not ######.

I've got a bad feeling about this...the directors were fired (or left) during production.

The untitled Han Solo film will move forward with a directorial change.

 

“Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are talented filmmakers who have assembled an incredible cast and crew, but it’s become clear that we had different creative visions on this film, and we’ve decided to part ways. A new director will be announced soon,” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm.

 

“Unfortunately, our vision and process weren’t aligned with our partners on this project. We normally aren’t fans of the phrase ‘creative differences’ but for once this cliché is true. We are really proud of the amazing and world-class work of our cast and crew,” stated Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.

 

The untitled Han Solo film remains scheduled for a May 2018 release.

No one is asking for these side movies, Disney should just make episode 8 and 9 and then see what comes after.  I have very little interest in a Han origin story prequel movie, just no.

Whereas others are quite keen for this, just as they were the fantastically successful Rogue One... Which I thoroughly enjoyed - more than Force Awakens.

 

Conjecture around backstories has existed since the end of A New Hope.

I tend to agree... though I would like to see a stand alone Darth Vader movie where he is kicking rebel scum while in his prime (like in the animated Rebels)... before James Earl Jones passes. Unfortunately, that will probably not happen. :(

 

Will have to wait for the Han Solo trailer ...

Maybe Dash Rendar will make an appearance.

I can't remember where or what, but something was saying how that whole "multimedia event" has basically been wiped now.  But hey, you know how Disney have thrown in the odd fan favourite.

Rogue One was more of a filler story that slotted nicely before episode 4, so it works better in that sense.  This movie though, it's way off on it's own by comparison.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By DrWankel · Posted

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.

      It is never going to be right, one thing go belly up in all that millions of lines of code and it could have any number of effects. Microsoft can't even stop a computer getting a blue screen of death, so how on earth are these other companies going to make other stuff safe? Lets just wait until there is one hell of a accident and see what is done then.
