3 & 6 years to go... Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Well, what did we expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Yeah I didn't know the title was supposed to be a big deal, but I guess so the way people are shitting on it. I dunno, I'm kinda becoming optimistic for this and I'm not really sure why. Maybe just the rumors of Corellia and Kessel appearing are enough. And Lando of course, since we won't be getting Billy Dee in the sequel trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Choc Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Should be titled "Never Tell Me The Odds" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerimar Nyliram Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I don't like it mainly because I was hoping to write an EU-compliant fanfic by the same title (minus the Star Wars Story part) that tells of Han's demise in the original canon (he would go down with the Falcon in a blaze of glory). Can't use that title anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrian Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 That's a pretty narcissistic reason to not like it. To me, it just feels like a lazy title, with very little thought gone in to it. Never Tell Me The Odd would have been a great title, or some kind of play on words with the Millenium Falcon, since it really does feel like they're going to be telling us the story of how he got it in the first place from Lando and how he began to build his reputation with it.

The Choc Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 The reason the title seems lazy is because it's the most obvious but sometimes the most obvious title works. They probably wanted his name in the title somewhere, but at some point you can't just keep adding to it. I mean you can't name it "Never Tell Me The Odd: The Han Solo Story: A Star Wars Story" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrian Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 You don't really need his name in the title though; none of the saga movies have the Skywalker name anywhere in their titles, yet the entire saga is about the Skywalker family and their daddy issues causing massive strife. Rogue One doesn't mention the Death Star anywhere in the title, yet it's entirely about retrieving the plans for said station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevil Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I think it's as good a title as any. Also: Vader is supposed to be in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerimar Nyliram Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 That's a pretty narcissistic reason to not like it.Perhaps, but I am not exaggerating when I say that every story idea I've had has been a million times better than anything under Disney and Kennedy so far. They just don't seem to understand Star Wars, at least to me (though I do accept Rogue One as part of my head canon, but even it seems not quite right).

pavonis Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 It is a solo movie about Solo, making it a title as appropriate as Rogue One, the first rogue Star Wars film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 It's actually a reference to how Han won the Falcon. https://youtu.be/MhDa9RW0UQE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavonis Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Should be titled "Never Tell Me The Odds"I couldn't help but check the scripts, and Han only said that once in 4 films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrian Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Vader only said "I am your father" once too, yet it's arguably the quote he's best known for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Choc Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Maybe, but it wouldn't make a good title for a film. I'm pretty sure Martin Luther King only said "I Have a Dream" once but it would be a good title for a bopic of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavonis Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 MLK said "I have a dream" in the speech six or seven times. Solo said "never tell me the odds" exactly once. "Boring conversation anyway" would be equally appropriate as a title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Choc Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I think "Never Tell Me The Odds" speaks more to Han's character than Boring Conversation Anyway. I'm sure there are other quotes of his that would work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
