Is the force really with Obi Wan and what about Lando in IX?

Stirring news about the Stand-Alone Obi Wan film brought to the light and Lando confirmed for IX.

Obi Wan Kenobi may get his own film

Last month we talked about the shelving of the “Star Wars anthology” and “Stories”. However, we did touch on the Obi Wan film which, to our joy and begrudging dismay (oh the life of a true EU fan), has had some info leaked last week.  In addition to that, Billy Dee Williams, has confirmed to rehash his role as Lando in Starwars Episode IX.

Billy as Lando

Billy has not played Lando on screen in a long time but he has done a few voice roles in video games and a few guest voice acting roles as his Roguish character in Star Wars: Rebels, which, keeps him as close to the role he played years ago as possible. Due to there being nearly no one left from the original trilogy alive both in character our out (bless thy name, Carrie Fisher) this would make Lando the last of the original crew to really carry the torch of the rebellion and pass it into the hands of the “kids”. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed this last Wednesday.
In addition to that sources like The Hollywood Reporter and ScyFyWire have been speculating as to the casting calls and whispers of initial photography for Obi Wan. Maybe because Casting agencies in both the USA and the UK have been combing their catalogs for folks for “2 Star Wars Projects yet to be named”. Script leaks for both Obi Wan and Episode IX are being squelched by Disney’s Lucasfulm legal department.

Obi Wan won’t be the only possible revived “Story” to come back either it would seem. Lucasfilms has been juggling the IP license for more Star Wars video game titles. These remain to be verified but we can only hope for change to come with the fan outcries after “Solo” and the movement to “Remake Star Wars: The Last Jedi“.

Comic Movie Review- Ant-Man and The Wasp (Antman 2)

Score: 4/5

Second Viewing Score: 4/5

Summary: What’s to say about Disney’s Marvel Studios Ant-Man and The Wasp? This was a great film to watch all things said and done compared to the last Avenger’s Movie. We’ve got the continuation of the story from Ant-Mans civilian perspective and subsequent failure to escape the government when he assisted Captain America during the events of Civil War. Rather than spoiling the whole film let’s just say you’ll have to see what happens and how it ends but what we can say is the jokes worked. The callbacks were solid. Because this acts as a sort of “Filler” between the next big film, “Captain Marvel”, this film is “World-Building”.

The visual effects and miniaturization were good, nothing to write home about but good. Character development had already been hashed out and the general “moral” of the story was a bit ham-fisted. With Technobabble omitted, some of the little side stories that tied in later seemed to drag and the solution to the problem didn’t really require the escalation that happened. It follows the “Paint By Number” Marvel Film Format. You’ll be glad to have seen it even if you aren’t a fan of the film or comics. A true “Popcorn” film for the Summer.

While  Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly gave an acceptable performance while the rest seemed to phone it in. Some of the scenes seemed to go on longer than intended while others seemed to cut abruptly. Tone Shift and thematic arcs seemed to work out but with a slight jarring feeling. Thankfully the cinematography wasn’t the nausea inducing shake which we had to deal with in “Civil War”, “Black Panther” and some of the “Infinity War”.

What everyone else says: Rotten Tomatoes and the rest of the guys out there are scoring an average of about 78% positive. I went to see this movie alone by my 15 year old liked it too. Saying “It wasn’t perfect but it was a good enough movie”.
