Star Wars prequel questions

Solo is definitely not great, but its ultimately inoffensive. Whereas things like Attack of the Clones and Rise of Skywalker are exceedingly offensive.

I think Solo is actually my favorite Disney era Star Wars movie. Was it "necessary"? Not remotely. And yeah, I get that people found the need to explain every distinctive thing about the character with events that seemingly happened in the course of a few days obnoxious. But it was just easy, breezy, and unpretentious fun and adventure. Fun is the dimension of the classic Star Wars formula that a lot of Star Wars media really falls down on. I know a lot of people love Rogue One, and I agree it's well-made, but it's so dreary and bleak, even before all the main characters die, I just never particularly want to watch it.

I also enjoy Episodes 7 and 8, but unlike Solo they lose massive points for being stuck in a trilogy ending in far and away the worst Star Wars movie ever made.

I LIKE IT! It's better than Muppets and the prequels and sequels or anything Disney has put out. Disney SW is like walking down the street and finding a puddle of puke. Solo at least was trying to be something fresh. I Liked whoever played Han and Childish Gambino

Muppets Star Wars is an under-served space.

Man, I miss "Pigs in Space."

Introducing a new top villain for the trilogy (who could actually carry the weight of that role) also could have worked. Snoke was just never up to the task (at least not based on what we saw of him), and having him abruptly die in Episode 8 was a cool twist, but if you're going to kill off the apparent top villain halfway through part 2 of a trilogy, you should introduce the real big bad evil guy lurking in a shadow or something at the end of that movie.

I'm 100% with you there ... but to all the RotJ defenders, I'll point out the original trilogy does the same thing with the Emperor. He's mentioned off-hand in the first movie, shows up in a hologram in the second , and then wham, BBEG in the third. Tarkin is the villain (Vader a sidekick) in the first movie, Vader in the second.

In the OT's defense, it wasn't envisioned or written as a trilogy; each movie was written on its own and green-lighted based on the prior doing well. The ST they knew they were doing a trilogy and chose not to develop it that way, which is unforgivable.
