The Star Wars Solo movie. They barely marketed for it, iirc, which is a shame, because I thought it was pretty good! And it set up stories that I’ll be bummed we don’t get to see play out. Plus Donald Glover as Lando was beautiful casting
I think the problem with Solo is that it was released just a few months after The Last Jedi. People were possibly Star Wars fatigued by this point. (Just speculation)
Disney were releasing one film a year, Force Awakens (2015), Rogue One (2016) and The Last Jedi (2017). Each film was released in December of their respective years, including Rise of Skywalker which came out in 2019. Why release Solo in March?
Considering the drastic reshoots and production issues to get the film done, I would’ve thought aligning the film to December would’ve of given production more time to breathe. PS I would love to see more of the footage shot by Lord & Miller, but just like the Rogue One reshoots, that’s locked in the Disney vault, never to be seen.
PS - I really like Solo as a movie. It’s a lot of fun and I own it on 4K!
Yeah, I know a lot of people didn’t like it. I thought the sequel trilogy wasn’t very good, especially the third. I think it suffered a lot from changing directors. I would have liked to see a trilogy wholly directed by Rian Johnson
My kid and I argue about this. He hates it, but I think you gotta come at it like Han is telling the story. Not my favorite SW movie, but way better than a lot of the other filler we got. Its a fun movie told by an outrageous liar.

I avoided it for a long time, finally watched it, and loved it. Why do I ever listen to anyone else?
Naaah, hard disagree. I saw it some time ago finally, it was bad. Not as terrible as the latest trilogy, mind you, but not much better either.

I found the other person who liked the Solo movie besides me!
There are

That movie was terrible.
For Disney star wars movie standards, it was indeed good. But so pointless. Hey anyone wanna know why his name is solo?
No?
Alright, here we go.
i agree that Disney Star Wars Movie standards are really low, thing is so were/are Lucasfilsm, or are you just pretending the prequels don’t exist.
I don’t agree that Solo was better than any of the Star Wars since Episode One.
Even by Disney and Lucasfilm Star Wars standards Solo was a really shitty movie.
