The more I think about TLJ, the more I think what the hell were they thinking.
It goes without saying that it's still better than the prequels, but that's not saying much in itself. The whole tone of the film was off, and it did a lot of damage to the trilogy. I don't envy JJ having to follow that. When all is said and done, I think this is going to be a really odd and jarring trilogy to watch back to back. There were good moments in there, but it's not a movie I'd ever want to watch again.
And what is happening with this Solo film?? Is it coming out in May or not? It's alarming that we're potentially this close to a release date without seeing so much as a single frame of the film. Apparently they're renaming the movie in China to remove any association with Star Wars after the poor performance of TLJ there. Is it even worth releasing it at all there in that case? The main appeal of this movie is that it's a backstory to a beloved OT character, which means nothing to the Chinese audience.
