    Solo was a prime example of movie by execs. I can imagine the initial production meetings went something like:

    Execs: “everyone thinks Han Solo is cool so let’s make a movie about him. What should it be about?”

    “we need to show how he meets Chewie”

    “we need to show how he meets Lando”

    “we need to see how he gets the Falcon”

    “we need to see how he gets his name”

    “we need to see how he gets his blaster”

    “we need to show the Kessel Run”

    “Throw in a surprise cameo”

    “We’re also contractually obligated to show at least one light saber because it’s Star Wars”

    “OK great, now try to write a cohesive story that links all those moments and try to tie it into the overall Star Wars story”

    I dont think I can order them,

    Very good Star Wars Movies - ANH, ESB, RO, TLJ
    Pretty Good Star Wars Movies - ROTJ, TFA, ROTS**
    Meh Star Wars Movies - TPM, Solo
    Very bad, not good, awful star wars movies - AOTC, TROS

    ** Revenge of the Sith really is somewhere between tier 2 and 3 but just left it in 2.

    That said, if they were to do another one now that all those fan service moments have been covered, I think you could come up with a pretty great Star Wars movie. I enjoyed who they cast and that period in the time line is ripe for exploration

    Solo was a movie because Lawrence Kasdan wanted to get his son a gig writing a Star War. It was a condition of his coming back to write TFA.

    Get ready, cause he's also writing Indiana Jones and the Sequel of Doom.

    also, I’m sure Ron getting Bryce Dallas the Mandalorian directing gig as part of convincing him to swoop in and direct short notice

    Very possible. She has as much experiencing directing as Jon Kasdan does writing. Which is to say, not much.

    Although I thought she did a good job with her episode. It was the best of the three middle ones, imo.

    So long since those halcyon days of that photo of the TFA script read being released, it has been. So full of promise, it was.

    Sounds like Disney edited out 30 minutes of more bullshit, and I’m betting they didn’t throw away hundreds of millions of dollars to make Abrams look bad

    yep, Disney is totally going to torpedo their Star Wars franchise (that they were already worried about after Solo) just to make JJ look bad for any DC movie he might do.

    I have no doubt Disney meddles, but that insinuation is total bullshit.

    Ultimately I just want Star Wars to be fun, and it can’t really be ruined because I have such fond memories of seeing the movies and playing with the toys growing up.

    As much shit as I give TLJ on here, I watched it last night while playing SWTOR

    I never see failure with Star Wars just missed opportunities
