I'm sorry, but that's incorrect. The line happens in Episode III, after they have rescued Palpatine. The dialogue exchange happens when they're back on Coruscant. Here is a clip:

Ah I'm guessing it was mistook from the line when they were in the elevator going to meet Padme, which I was I thought you were referring to also before I saw your clip.

"I haven't felt you this tense since we fell into that nest of gundarks."

I don't think there's anything in Empire or Jedi to suggest that and I doubt Solo will either but I can't say it's difficult to imagine Lando being open to many kinds of sexy situations.

You are so right, I mistook it indeed for the elevator scene.

Sorry, Josh. I stand corrected.

I have what's possibly an unhealthy level of knowledge about Episode III

Only be worried if you know the name of more than 3 members of the Separatist Council and more than 6 members of the Jedi Council.

Phew! I only recognize them by faces

But seriously, I love that movie so much and could probably recite all of the dialogue if I was forced to.

 

[TravisR]

Phew! I only recognize them by faces

I said it as a joke but once I thought about it, I think I can name every Separatist Council member- Nute Gunray, Rune Haako, Wat Tambor, Poggle The Lesser, Shu Mai, Passel Argente, San Hill and there's also a Walrusman & a Squidhead (to use the old toy names). I may be remembering Senator characters from TPM or AOTC but I believe the names of the last two guys are Po Nudo and Tikkes. I don't even want to look it up and find out if I'm right or not.

I'd be a millionaire if I could remember stuff useful or profitable.

Does Lucasfilm invite all of the prequel stars to the premiere of the new ones, or should we read into Ewan's presence there as supporting the rumor they may work together again soon?

I doubt the alumni all get a proper invitation but I'd imagine that any of the main cast members from any of the previous movies could call up and get an invite if they wanted to see the movie and were available that day. That being said, I think McGregor's presence indicates that he's been working at LFL again.

Spoilers are starting to pop up all over the place now. I think it was a mistake for Lucasfilm to screen the movie for critics so far in advance of the release date.

I wonder if that was done to steal some of Deadpool 2's thunder.

And while the news on Obi-Wan seems valid, it also seems that the synopsis that was published by TMZ is simply taken from the novel Kenobi, which was published a few years ago. So the story is likely to be very different.

And Josh, happy 13th anniversary of Episode III today! (19 years for Episode I.)

I don't think that Lucasfilm is nearly as worried about spoilers for SOLO as they would be for a saga film.

That's it! I knew it sounded familiar but I thought it was a semi-recent comic book.

Look, I'll admit I'm not the most liberal guy in the world, but I try to be respectful of alternate walks of life. That being said, I'm not buying this. Lando is a suave ladies man period. If you want to have a panssexual character, then a create new one.

Unless of course, in the Star Wars universe, pansexual means getting with hot alien babes, then maybe that's a different story.

Funny you mention that, he was getting it on with a Twi'lek chick (the same alien species as Oola from Jabba's palace) in a recent book.

Variety has a new piece on the making of the film which, of course, touches on the Lord and Miller issues but also talks a lot about what Howard did with it once he came on.

Of note, Howard helped to refine certain things in the script when he came on, so it wasn't just shooting exactly what had been written before.

Howard, meanwhile, worked with the Kasdans to further refine the script. He wanted the action scenes to be “cool, fast, fun, surprising,” the director says, but he also wanted to connect them to the idea of young Han Solo being tested, challenged and shaped by a gauntlet that would put him on the road to becoming the iconic cinematic figure audiences know and love.

The article also is very forthcoming about the scene in which George Lucas gave a note, to the point where some might consider that a slight spoiler (although I don't really, but some could, so just be warned it's there.) I'm quoting it under spoiler tags just in case because it's so specific about what the momnt is. If you want to read the article now and skip over this section, stop reading after Howard's quote about Harrison Ford liking the film, and it's safe to pick up again after the photo of Chewie.

Spoiler

The hand of George Lucas, too, happens to be present in the film, in a romantically charged scene between Ehrenreich and Clarke staged in Lando’s cape closet. There was a beat when Han takes Qi’ra’s cloak, hangs it up and moves on to his next bit of business. But Lucas had a note, if he could be so bold.

“He said, ‘You know, Han wouldn’t bother to hang it up,’” Howard says. “And then he sort of did it. George became Han Solo for a second. The body language was there and the attitude. Not only was it a nice accent on the scene, but it was also a reminder that George created this character and really understood him. He was so reluctant [to offer his opinion], and yet the choice was so right that that it was fun to use it.” (Neither Lucas nor Ford was made available for comment.)

This also confirms that Paul Bettany is a recast of the role previously played by Michael K. Williams, who couldn't come back for reshoots due to scheduling. This is the first time I can recall official confirmation that their roles are the same.

It's a good read for sure, whether you read it now or bookmark it and come back to it after seeing the movie.

I'm going to read it tomorrow while standing "in line" to see the movie.
