High budgets, scrapped projects, fan backlash. It’s been 12 years since Disney bought 'Star Wars' and its galaxy far, far away arguably has too many broken toys.
And despite its troubles, I also enjoyed Solo on a second watch.
But even The Mandalorian isn’t perfect. Some episodes were better than others. It was fine for a TV show. Same with Ahsoka. It’ll be interesting to see what they do with a bigger budget when the movie comes out.
I still watch Solo with my annual star wars watchthrough. Is it a great film? No. But it’s fun, and it’s light, and if doing a timeline watchthrough it works well. Ep 3 just ends, you’re feeling down because of the empire, but Solo brings you back up - right before the very very sad Rogue One
Solo would have been a success if they didn’t have to fire the directing duo and reshoot half the movie. It hugely inflated the cost of that film which made it a commercial failure in their eyes.

It didn’t help they released it. Basically 5 minutes after a mainline Star Wars movie.
