This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]541471[/split]
With Solo, I won't see it alone. If the GF wants to see it sometime, I will go. But just in general, I am not overtly interested. I just don't think the movie is necessary. I don't think we needed a Han origin story. To me, ANH is his origin story.
This is exactly how I feel about it. Solo is a movie without a purpose, just as was Rogue One. Everything we need to know about Han was shown to us in the original trilogy. While it might be nice to know more about Chewie, that isn't absolutely necessary to enjoying him or his adventures. Movies that expand the Star Wars universe beyond the characters from the OT would interest me more than a Han origin story (or Leia's childhood on Alderaan, etc.).
Now, I would love to see more about Lando's life pre-and-post-Empire because he was given very little backstory. Also, Lando is an intriguing guy. Surely, he got involved in some seriously wild crap in his day. It would be fun to watch that, if written well.

Rogue One I liked more because while about a referenced event, it introduced new characters. Solo is not doing that. It's an unnecessary story, and I would like to see the Star Wars universe expanded with new characters. I don't want the spin-offs to get to where it is like Wedge: A Star Wars Story.
Thandie Newton's character, Game of Thrones chick's character, Woody's character, the droid that hangs with Lando...

Can't believe they deleted this scene.
I need to watch it again...I enjoyed dp2, but it's not calling me to rewatch it like this film.
So erm. 8th and final IW viewing tmr.....
