The “A Star Wars Story” concept is the best thing that got stiffed in Disney Star Wars. Everyone collectively agrees that Rogue One is a phenomenal movie but I think that Solo deserves the same kind of love.
Solo is not nearly as good as Rogue One but really I didn’t expect it to be and I think it is an incredibly entertaining and enjoyable movie that adds to the Han Solo character without vastly changing things about him.
People point to Alden Erenreich as not the best choice to play Han Solo but when I’m 10 minutes into his performance and he’s being exactly the stuck up, over confident, douche he is in the beginning of A New Hope I had no question on the casting choice
Solo ranked fairly low at the box office and that seems to be the reason Disney hasn’t made a Star Wars Story movie again. I think exploring these smaller stories that don’t really have to impact the whole galaxy like the main ones do is such an interesting and exciting concept that just got canned.
I wish they’d bring it back but I can sit and enjoy my two Star Wars Story movies without a need for more.
