FINE

It's the ongoing problem with the new Star Wars films is how small they make the universe.

Probably going to include bulls-eying some Womp Rats as well  :-X

It smells like midichlorians to me. Exploring something that no one asked for.

I think that was the problem with old EU as well.

Ron Howard sucks. They picked the nerdiest guy in the galaxy to tell the story of the coolest guy in the galaxy.

Eh, he's bland.

The quality of Ron Howard's direction aside, all the good directors are nerds.  Otherwise, you end up with Uwe Boll.

Oh, I dunno. If the Kessel Run is a good story, then show me the Kessel Run! If you can make a compelling movie about many Bothans dying, or going down to Toshi Station to pick up some power converters, I'll forgive the pandering.

Being a nerd isn't necessarily bad, but Ron Howard doesn't take risks.  Han Solo does.  They should have stuck with Lord and Miller.

That's not really an inherently nerdy thing.  That's a guy who likes comfort thing.
