11 minutes ago The nice thing about streaming is that it gives subscribers access to thousands of pieces of content that are just a click away. The bad thing about streaming is that subscribers are very much at the whims of what streaming companies want to purchase the rights to, and sometimes big movies can be difficult to keep track of. Such is the case with Star Wars: The Last Jedi. While the movie has been available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital since March, it hasn't been available on any of the major streaming sites -- e.g. Netflix, Amazon and Hulu. However, all of that is about to change, as Star Wars: The Last Jedi is heading to Netflix in June. It would be awesome if Netflix had been able to time the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi onto its streaming service the same weekend as Solo: A Star Wars Story came out, as we could have all made it a big Star Wars weekend at home and at the theater.

Most of the pictures that he shared were pretty cryptic and have since started to shed light on the status of the production. As of last week, the score was finished, and the digital effects were almost complete. We received our first look at the Solo movie in February during the Super Bowl rush and Star Wars fans criticized the debut footage for not showing enough of Alden Ehrenreich's young Han Solo. However, the new footage has more of the young Solo while being extra careful not to give anything away. The new trailer gives just enough to leave fans wanting a lot more, which is exactly what a good trailer is supposed to do. The good thing is that there's only a … [Read more...] about Solo: A Star Wars Story Trailer #2: I Got A Good Feeling About This
