1 year agoI saw this when it was in theatres, haven’t seen it since. It came with a lot of hype due to all the big-star names, and its marketing really hadn’t communicated how tongue-in-cheek it was. People went in expecting something akin to ID4 or Batman, and it sure wasn’t that.
This was the whole ethos of the first Star Wars films - Lucas made a point of getting everything look worn, to the point of having a term for it: the “used universe”. Exemplified by C-3PO’s whole look, Luke’s clothes or even Han Solos’s sweaty shirt.
It’s a shame he seems to have completely forgotten this when it was time to make the prequels…
