I thought there was plenty to like about both Solo and Rogue One, but they both relied too much on nostalgia and familiarity to be actually decent on their own. I’ve heard good things about the original cut of Solo and wish we could have seen that.
Solo just really suffered because everyone was so burnt out from the sequel trilogy just failing on so many levels. I didn’t bother seeing it until years after release.
Solo at least had a coherent plot with multiple memorable performances. Donald Glover and Woody Harrelson both were a ton of fun whenever on screen. Adam Driver carried the ST but Kylo’s Redemption arc in Rise was boring.
I had 0 expectations for Rise, and it met those expectations perfectly. It did stupid things, but that was their only real option, unless you believe Kylo not getting redeemed or Rey being evil were ever an option.
Solo took an established character and largely ruined him. The movie was also extremely boring, placing characters that obviously live in mortal peril to regularly build tension.
Am I the only person that liked Solo? :(
I thought it was decent, wouldn’t rave about it, but had a good time

I do think rogue one is a better story than solo by far. But solo was not bad imo. I really enjoyed it.

Maybe it’s because I really enjoy playing sabacc with the replica cards I have.
To be fair, I don’t think the même is saying all new star wars is bad, just that it would be better if it was less self referential.
Possibly. I’d rate it the worst of the Disney movies.
Worse than Rise of Skywalker?
