@canefan interesting, i was the opposite, will watch the next series but fet there were too many filler episodes and side missions, i like how clones wars often had 3-6 episode arcs with the odd filler episode
-
@kiwiwomble I think I like getting to know a small group of characters and following them as they progress. Same with SW Rebels

I think some of those side mission type eps were used to set up future stories for this show and others. Pretty sure that some of the characters will reappear in Mando/Boba. Was also good to see the origin story for Rebels.

@crucial all very true, think i would have prefered just a bit more of a arc for the team rather than setting up, im sure it will all pay of

I think they had to tell the story of the demise of the Clones first as well as how clones did actually have personalities alongside inhibitor chips. Now they are real characters.

Finally saw Solo.
It's pretty shit. Not LJ shit but uninspiring and boring probably best describes it. Some of the early scenes were good and I particularly liked the scene where Han was in the middle of some sort of invasion. But ultimately it was very meh. That droid was utterly ridiculous. Not a big fan of the Chewie-Han backstory either. Was that cannon prior to the film? Actually one scene I really liked was Chewie helping out the other Wookies in the mine. The final "battle" was about as exciting and satisfying as a piece of bread. The dude playing Han was likeable and tried really hard but just wasn't believable as the Han we know and love. And that was killed by his emo son.
Ultimately, it was just another example of the SW universe being criminally underutilised. Thank God for the Mandalorian.

@rancid-schnitzel dont think the chewie/han back story was canon previously but more because everything pre the disney take over was decanonised except the six movies at that point
dont know what the previous canan back story was
have to say i didn't mind it, another movie i would love to see how it was originally envisaged, director change wtc

Extremely weak villain too I thought.

Yeah, who knows. It was very disjointed. Could and should have been much better. A second film with Jabba and Maul would have been cool but they should have pulled out all the stops for this one. Stupid.

@rancid-schnitzel yeah, disney can afford to ,in this case, just commit to and even make two movies concurrently...making one that sets up "the good stuff" and then not making the sequel is just disappointing
