          There is nothing else to say

          The bulk of the movie is a checklist of things that are better done as single lines I conversations in other movies. They were all dull as shit.

          • Han get his gun CHECK
          • Han meets Chewie CHECK
          • Han gets the Falcon CHECK
          • Han meets Lando Check

          When the movie deviated from those it got really bad,

          There was all the halfbaked shit Enfys.

          There was the silly shit with Emilia Clark and finally the big reveal of Dark Maul, that I guess was cool if you watched some cartoon.

      I honestly think that is the second best Disney star wars movie, and if it hadn’t released after the “Last Jedi” it would have been received better by everyone.

      I think it’s a shame we won’t see where that plot line was going with Darth maul as it seems like they had a real plan for that story arc (so much so that it keeps popping up in other shows/games).

        Agreed. People were mad it wasn’t related to the main plot but I agree it’s mostly because of how last Jedi fell flat. It it was released now after the sequels it might have done better

        We might get it someday. “Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord” comes out this year and covers the post Clone Wars era. Solo is a bit beyond that, but could get there if the show runs long enough, has time jumps or a follow up show.

          Haha, I hadn’t heard of that, but I guess that kinda makes my point about them really wanting to tell that story arc.

        Probably becasue she is a shit actress and Solo was forgettable in every possible way.
