Solo is terrible.
Can't remember where I read it, but I think they said that since this is the last episode in the "Skywalker Saga", they made the conscious decision to have this be not only a finale but also a celebration of the last 8 episodes leading up to this. I'd expect to see a lot of callbacks and homages going forward.
We'll, considering that the first Abrams production was full of homages and call backs, it's a pretty safe assumption that this one will be too.
I guess.
They talked it up as if it would be a little more than the usual "you remember this, right?" fanfare.
The only thing worth taking out of Solo was Donald Glover's Lando. The rest of it is just bad.
YE RAGIN', AYE?
