Also that it went through extensive reshoots/recuts and I'd be curious to see the original.
Mainly, though, I just don't know what they were trying to achieve with it (besides "make money"). Who wanted an origin story for Solo? The EU books had done one, but I didn't remember it as a celebrated part of the franchise, and at least when you read those, the person you pictured in your head as Han Solo was Harrison Ford.
This marked the first Star Wars film I didn't even bother to go see at the cinema.
I saw it about a year later when I bought the bluray off someone, and honestly... Okay, as said before with these films, there are different "levels" of discerning for different franchises. I was kinda checked out of Star Wars at this point so, watching it from that perspective, I was entertained end-to-end, as in, I didn't check my watch, I didn't pause the film to do something else... I think there was a lot to like. Though it was tonally uneven and a bit muddled in places. An interesting question is to ask whether people liked it more or less than something like Valerian.
