Maybe tone down the lady's man stuff before it becomes a caricature. We get a glimpse of it in ESB but then it balloons to some weird robot thing in Solo.

Name anything wrong with solo? Anything
The weird slug gangster speaking English.
Han's name origin.

There may be more, but I always hated those two things.
Started the movie off on shaking ground as far as I'm concerned.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

she didnt speak huttese?
all the gangster element characters in star wars always speak huttese

they mustve made it english for the ameriecan audience (not being snide this stuff happens)
his name was always Han. the solo bit was corny but its star wars.

theres nothing wrong with this movie at all..its a huge big load of fun. most fun star wars ever. and thats the point.
just wish theyd made more of em

I liked Solo just fine, but I won't pretend it was better than it was.

Also, there will NEVER be a Lando movie.

I think Solo has the fun aspect that is missing from the sequels and tv shows


I’m not too keen on seeing how Solo got his name, met chewie, got his blaster and won the falcon in the same movie

Robot relations is still weird

Ending with the girl boss swoop leader and then the stuff with Paul Bettany kinda meh


edit: Bettany, not Fassbender

as far as movies go, Solo was better than any of the sequels. It doesn't come close to how great Rogue One was, but not much does in the SW universe. I've rewatched Solo a few times, can't say that for any of the sequels.

this is where comparison is the thief of joy.
but i think i agree with all of that ruddo.
Solo is a totally unique thing among all of them. If only we had more of them to compare it to, fairly.

Yeah, the problem with these kinds of statements, like dime alluded to, is that it creates unnecessary side taking. That kind of thing bums me out.

Solo is fun. The sequels are fun. Rogue One is fun. We have all of them. I've watched each many, many times. I love them all for different reasons, though none of them are perfect. Except MAYBE The Last Jedi.

Solo is fun. I think the casting was perfect all across the board. i think the script was really pretty spot on as well, as far as are lando and han friends? Lovers? Enemies?

They played that perfectly when comparing to ESB.

I think it also looked really cool.

Shit, maybe i should watch it tonight!

Last Jedi holds up. Force Awakens is fun but not good. Rise of Skywalker is a mess.

But, like pearl jam, i will always find joy in spending my time in a galaxy far far away.
