Even if it was a bad summer for Humpty Dumpty, will he have a great fall?

I dunno. I did have a Hunchback in 2011 but I cannot remember anymore.

I imagine that his great fall will be followed by a winter of discontent.

We all know he won't winter it.

Look, Alice he was willing to take a chance. And besides, someone scrambled the story: he didn't fall. He was pushed by the girl he was with after he thought is was a good idea to jabberwocky and she didn't take kindly to it.

Hi All,
Got around to watching Solo this weekend. I was expecting a train wreck ala Last Jedi, but was pleasantly surprised. Not quite up to Rouge One but good, leads me to think the house of mouse might be trying to create a new series around Han Solo as it did not have a Xmas release and left more holes at the end... opinions please...

Glad you enjoyed it, but Disney's Soy Wars generally gives me a very sour stomach.

Know what you mean, Force Awakens, Last Hope Remake, Last Jedi, poor, Empire Strikes Back remake. Rouge One surprisingly good Last Hope prequel. Solo good standalone movie possible trilogy foundation...

You seem fixated on Rouge One. Does that leave you red faced, you old rogue you?

Not fixated but I liked it! (more than The Last Jedi!)

Prequels, sequels, reboots... That's all they know how to do. Soon we are also going to get requels (sequels to remakes) or preboots (prequels that completely change all established elements) or seboots (reboots in a sequel that change everything without any logic). Wait... Is that not exactly what we are getting?

I just think it wasn't too bad! Lets face it the best Star Wars was Empire Strikes Back, Jedi created the phrase 'Ewok bad', Phantom Menace Jar Jar Binks( )!, Solo not that bad, could have been alot worse!

You do know that Jar Jar is a Sith Lord[^] and only played the bumbling fool? It worked with the naive Jedi and also the gullible audience.

You know, I am inclined to believe that George Lucas had a much greater role for Jar Jar when was first envisioning the prequels. He admits that he is a fan of Azimov's works and really liked the one with character who was a fool to others but secretly ran the galaxy (I never read it so I cannot tell you which book). Also, if you look closely during the Phantom Menace you can see Jar Jar mouthing words while other characters talk and you don't see him repeat that behavior in any other movie. Since Jar Jar is animated, every single move he makes is deliberate and scripted. Lastly, an early version of Episode II was titled Jar Jar's Great Adventure.
It's only theory but Lucas had to change up the entire story after the fan's backlash over Jar Jar's character. They only saw him as a poor choice for comic relief and didn't pick up on the subtle hints if such hints were there. If only Jar Jar's manipulations were a little more obvious, there might have been completely different end to the Star Wars prequels.
if (Object.DividedByZero == true) { Universe.Implode(); }

If he really changed his mind, it would have been a poor choice. That little plot twist would have been even more effective when the audience dislikes the character.

I would have to agree. Jar Jar ruling the galaxy through Palpatine is something nobody would have seen coming and would have floored them.

And the character could easily have gone to be ultra creepy once it dropped its mask.

you mean like star trek? they change the past so the future* we've seen didn't happen, so they can re-do the films we already saw completely different: star trek III: the search for spock, oh wait, but maybe they never [did/will] launched him coz he didn't die that way, so the search may need to move somewhere else, Las Vegas? Tijuana? Prague! - very cinematic.
Yup 95% of the star trek you've ever watched is redundant as it can no longer [didn't will?] happen. They can re-do any movie and spin-off series they want and do it completely different, add major new twists: the Nimoy spock becomes immortal (because he's always the most important and favorite character in any release even when he's not there even after he passed), the borg queen might grow legs and by popular demand wesley will be exploded... ...for the first 2 there's CGI, for the last one there's dynamite.
* the future future we saw in the more distant past has changed because the past future we saw in the more recent past means the future future can not ever be the same future future as it was in the past future.
It's no wonder Stephen hawking enjoyed Trek, takes a genius to follow the time spaghetti.

That would lead me directly to Jar Jar Abrams and what he did to both Star Trek and Star Wars. This man can only repackage old stuff, but always bigger and in another color and therefore muuuuch better. Therefore the Enterprise now is a brewery and twice as big as the old ones. X-Wings and Tie Fighters look and can do as much as before, but they have cool new color schemes. And yeah, our new Death Star is bigger than the old ones combined and, if that's at all possible, even easier to destroy. That guy is totally helpless when he is not given something to imitate. Like a monkey. He even manages to get well established characters all wrong and totally drops the ball when he must write new ones.
The 'best' preboot would of course be Discovery. They really love to change and retcon characters and events without need or giving any reason, but who cares? This is probably not an accident. I think it's their totally harebrained attempt to get the audience they would like to have and at the same time get rid of those pesky existing fans. Too bad that only one half of that trick works perfectly, but the masses of cool new viewers don't quite show up.
