Given SW has probably the big fan base out there, not going to please everyone.
Speaking for myself I’m more then happy how the new films have been so farYou'd be happy regardless of what these tards pump out. Because it's Star Wars!
At some level, all the Star Wars films are enjoyable because Star Wars.
Hopefully that continues.

@virgil think that can apply to many movies/TV series though, not just SW.
Pick through many and you find inconsistencies or plain old BS, guess it depends what you want out of a film.
I usually just want them to be fun, guns, 'splosions, boobies, space ships, zombies, car chases, fights...and if you can get them all in the same movie, even better

Yeah I mean nothing is better that the starting music and crawl. That is awesome at any time. But you have to back it up. You can't just serve up dross and hide behind reputation. There might be some weirdo who will unconditionally love whatever garbage is produced but I think most people have higher expectations than that.

Here's one to quiz your kids with at Solo.
Spot the actor making their sixth appearance in SW movies, playing a different character each time.
Kids?? My kids laugh at fart jokes and punch each other. Not spotting acting quirks in sci fi movies. I blame their mother.

OK then, big kids. (the ones that still laugh at fart jokes but also spot trivia in SW movies)
Apart from the seemingly endless bits of 'fan servicing' in Solo there are some fun references to other movies as well
:::
When getting chased through the Maw (very ESB like), Han refers to a trick taught to him by a drag racer called 'Needles' (Back to the Future) then, when they 'boost' the Falcon they do so through a fusion generator that looks very similar to the one Doc Brown installed on the DeLorean.

Really enjoyed Solo. I thought there were enough connective moments to link to other movies.
Acting wasn’t too bad either.

Boba Fett movie is back in development.
Director of the brilliant Logan is on board.
Let’s hope it avoids the off screen dramas of RO and Solo! -
After a 2nd viewing I have raise my score to 4.25..

Solo.
Loved it.
Had no problem with the new Han and Chewie was cool. Had enough tie-ins to old stuff along with new ideas.
:::
The old prequel character will have you working out timelines. Those that haven't followed the other canon pieces may be scratching their heads.
:::
I enjoyed it, it's probably the least Star Wars-y of the Star Wars films.
Re: The spoiler
:::
Can some one explain it to me? On face value the time line doesn't work, unless he didn't die in which ever shitty prequel he died in. Obi Wan is much older than Han. Edit: Seems like I should have been watching The Clone Wars and Rebels.
The pro droid stuff is going to piss some people off, I found it funny.

Yup all is explained in The Clone Wars etc
L3 was pretty entertaining, given the current climate I can see a lot of moaners using her story line as a reason to.. well moan.I didn't much like L3 to be honest, K2S0 did The funny droid thing much better. Is it sexist to say That? The character you mentioned didn't die and this is considered Canon. Pretty sure he tracks down Obi Wan at some stage. Does Palpatine know he is alive?
I'd rate the flick on about a par with Rogue One. Some truly excellent action scenes and one liners. I felt the villain was a bit weak though.

Not sure, it might get modded out of the thread though. I found her funny, didn't think this was as good as Rogue One though.
Re: That character, yeah I just read up about it. I wonder how they decide what is considered canon or not now, they seem to make it up a bit.
I'm finding it really hard to watch Khalessi playing adult roles because she just looks so young - weirdly, the oldest she looked was early game of thrones when she was supposed to be young.

Thought Emilia Clarke did well, maybe being brunette rather than blonde helped.
