Solo

I know there are some big Star Wars fans here. Has anyone seen Solo? Reviews are lower than they were for The Last Jedi but fans seem more entertained/less angry with this one in comparison. Do you guys think releasing Solo less than half a year after the last Star Wars film was a bad call, and that there are too many Star Wars movies being released now? I'm interested to hear your overall thoughts on the "new" Star Wars film lineup from The Force Awakens to Rogue One, Last Jedi, and then this one.

Haven't seen it--definitely won't in the theater, due to a variety of factors... lack of time, lack of interest (this has always felt like the Star Wars movie nobody wanted/asked for) and lack of willingness to support the franchise so quickly after what was, IMO, a pretty bad outing in The Last Jedi.

I've heard people enjoy it, which is great, but I'm also glad to see it's been a box office disappointment, as it shows it takes more than just the Star Wars name to smash box office marks.

Everyone who I've heard talking about it has had the same reaction: it's fine, but not great, and certainly not necessary. I haven't seen it, and I'm not going to see it. I don't feel like anyone really wanted this film. Prequels rarely go over well, and it didn't feel like we needed anymore of Han's story. And apart from that, it's not even been six months since the last Star Wars film. It's too much.

I'm only really interested in the current trilogy. I didn't watch Rogue One either. The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi were both pretty good, I thought. I'll be interested in watching the last film in the trilogy. But after that I'd be happy with no more Star Wars for the foreseeable future.
