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?

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!

That movie was terrible.
