Ending up seeing Solo this morning with my eldest. She loved it so that in itself counts for something, I guess. I didn’t rate it but I brought some baggage in with me, admittedly. A few moments had me rolling my eyes hard. It’s not entirely an unenjoyable watch on its own though. Kind of like a cover version that, while accomplished and technically proficient, misses the best parts of the original.

As a Fathers day treat we went to see solo, as one of the people that thought this looked terrible in the first trailers i really enjoyed it. Excellent casting and a really fun lively romp through the underbelly of the star wars universe. Han worked well for me as he seemed to have naivety and charm (if you want bad casting just look at Valerian).

Yeah some bits didn't hit that well like the origins of his name and how he meets Chewie. but that aside the Lando/han relationship was pretty spot on, and his mentor in woody Harrilson was perfect. Pepper in some ace space battles, some really cool looking aliens and you've got a feel good romp that really did deserve to do better.

I know I've posted my Star Wars autograph Flickr set here previously, but figured I should showcase a rather special one I got hold of... George Lucas

Voice actor Tom Kane has revealed that Lucasfilm have approximately nine movies in development at the moment. If we're to assume that that figure doesn't include proposed sequels to planned films then from rumour and confirmations we can assume the figure circles:

01 - Star Wars Episode IX
02 - Star Wars Rhian Johnson Trilogy Episode I
03 - A Star Wars Story III (Rumoured to be Obi-Wan)
04 - Star Wars Benioff Weiss Trilogy Episode I
05 - A Star Wars Story IV (Rumoured to be Boba Fett)

That would leave four more, it's possible that his info came from a time when Solo 2 was still considered a likely project but it'll remain interesting to see how many make it to screen in the wake of Solo's box office collapse.

[Dogg Thang]

I would say it is safe to assume that many of these won't happen. They'll develop a LOT of stuff with the intention of culling what doesn't work and reacting to what happens at the box office. Having seen and digested Solo a bit more, I personally have very little interest in spin-off films like an Obi-Wan movie or a Boba Fett movie. Mentally they are slipping into the same category as the cartoons (Clone Wars, Rebels, Droids) and Caravan of Courage more than Star Wars movies, something Rogue One totally avoided. That end cameo in Solo was the boot that kicked the movie into that category, achieving something I didn't think possible: making the prequels worse.

If that sounds damning, I still enjoyed watching it and I'm more glad that I did after a couple of days. It's fun... mostly... but it's not in the same league as a usual Star Wars movie for me.

[Neon Ignition]

I didn't mind the cameo so much but when I found out the arc for the character existed within the new canon animated series content already it killed it for me. Like Marvel, I find there's little reason or benefit to the TV content sharing the same universe to the Movie one, all it does it burn up ideas that would be more appealing on film. I've no interest in watching a kids animated series in order to make sense of cameo in the latest blockbuster.

[Mayhem]

Rebels is actually pretty decent overall. And they had already cameo in Rogue One in three different ways...

[H-Man]

I'm late to the party with Solo and thought it was excellent. Comfortably the best of the recent SW movies, just after Rogue One. I had lost some faith after The Last Jedi and this restored it!

Word is emerging that Lucasfilm are seemingly cancelling the Star Wars Story line of films to focus solely on Ep9 and the announced two trilogies going forward. Say goodbye Ewan fans.

Finally gave in and went to see Solo tonight. Wish we hadn’t bothered, thought it was utter ****. At no point did it even feel like I was watching a Han Solo story, the casting was awful. Disney started off so well but that’s two stinkers in a row for me.
