Star Wars: The Force Awakens

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Lack of cratering and crushed ship suggests to me that it made a somewhat-controlled atmospheric entry.

I am imagining Master Jedi Luke Skywalker pulling it out of orbit with the fucking Force while the guys on the bridge are slamming it into full reverse saying fuck fuck fuck Fuck Fuck FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

And the problem is, whatever reasoning there is for it in the movie wont be that awesome.

Not sure if this has been covered here, but this might be a spoiler.

You have to admit, it'd be the right move.

I remember reading the short stories where he lived, and like mentally communicated with the sarlacc, and I think the sarlacc digested most of his armor or something along those lines.

It wasn't the sarlaac. It was some other dude the sarlaac had eaten aeons ago trying to fuck with Fett. Didn't end well for him.

That would be a hard sell. Not the bringing him back, because the fans like him... l but doing it in a way that doesn't make it look like a joke.

I think people are trying too hard to read stuff into things and find "clues" and generally overthinking stuff. They may be right, but I've given up on giving most movie makers that much credit.

I think the spoiler is pretty obvious now, so I will openly discuss the possibility here.

Isn't he a clone or the original for the clones? Or is he the son of the guy...that sounds more familiar... Was that Lucas or Zahn canon? Point being, they could do a clone scenario to get him out. I hope they don't though as that'd be cheap and stupid.

I would prefer they do something like: He was in the Sarlaac pit, but as it keeps folks alive to slowly digest them, its fluids actually have some regenerative properties to them. So due to those fluids combined with his armor, he was able to stay alive. Meanwhile, the fluids' properties kept him from aging, like Han in the Carbonite. He eventually figured a way out and now is hell bent on getting revenge on Solo.

He was an unmodified clone of the original bounty hunter donor for the clone project. Janga Fett or something like that. Boba was unmodified so he would age normally (the clone soldiers grew up at an accelerated speed to be ready for battle) and was raised as Janga's son.

Bah, too much exposition.

So credit Stephen King as a writer. :D

He's getting a solo film. No reason it can't be covered in that.

I just linked the trailer for Star Wars Battlefront, a new game, and it looks awesome.

Pay close attention to around the 2:12 mark... It's relevant.

When I watch the trailer and see Han Solo I get that feeling like coming home after being away for a very long time, so long you had even forgotten what home was like.

I have 100% bought into the hype. I am ready for more Star Wars.
