I might be the only person that actually liked the Canto Bight scene, the idea that there are people profiting from the wars part of Star 'Wars' by selling weapons/ships to both sides seems like a worthwhile point to make.There's another great messages in the film: 'That's how we're going to win. Not by fighting what we hate. But saving what we love' A point I think may have been missed by the Youtube grifters who made 4 hour long videos of all the things they didn't understand in the film.Oh, did I mention how beautiful this film is. Just take the battle on Crait in the third act. Absolutely stunning.Solo: A Star Wars Story:What could have been? I'll always wonder what the film would have been like if Lord and Miller hadn't been replaced. That said, I thought Ron Howard did a good job. It's a shame that he film didn't do better, (I'll never understand the studio releasing the film a few months after the backlash to Last Jedi, instead of waiting until Christmas as had been the release schedule up until this point.) hopefully we still get a movie or series with Donald Glover returning as Lando because that was some perfect casting.Rise of Skywalker:Another visual masterpiece. This film was set the impossible task of tying together everything that came before, while reworking things after the death of Carrie Fisher. It tries to pack as much Star Wars as it can into every frame of every shot, for better or worse.I love how JJ used the Force Connection between Rey and Kylo introduced by Rian in the previous film. I thought this movie really nailed the Space Opera genre.  Also this moment, seen here recreated in Lego...[ATTACH=full]398268[/ATTACH]  *disclaimer - this is all my humble opinion.</blockquote>
