He was then forcefully re-employed by the Emperor for plans unknown.So, Ive decided to attempt a full canon rewatch before it releases, reviewing each chapter as I go.Thats all the movies, as well as the Clone Wars, Rebels, and Resistance TV series.Its all fun from here on out, which describes this movie pretty well.
Fun. Unfortunately, this one comes with its fair share of flaws, but for the first time since The Phantom Menace (Clone Wars doesnt count), the good in this movie manages to outweigh the bad. ![]() The movie didnt exactly perform the way Disney wanted it to, and theres no sign of any potential followup anywhere in Disneys schedule. ![]() The loudest voices on the internet seem to think that nobody saw Solo because they were all so burned by The Last Jedi they werent going to go see any Star Wars movies anymore. Disney had ruined Star Wars, Kathleen Kennedy is the SJW devil, and the box office numbers reflected how much the real Star Wars fans hate what has been done to their beloved franchise. People didnt go see Solo because Solo didnt look very good, and the story of Han Solo isnt one that Star Wars fans and the general movie-going public alike, wanted to see. Han Solo was a pretty well formed character in the existing movies. Would it be cool to see some more adventures with him and Chewbacca being smugglers on the Millennium Falcon Sure. But this movie promised a Han Solo origin story, which, you know, sounds neat, I guess The trailers didnt even convince me to go see it in theaters. They dont come around very often, and when they do theyre events. When Disney decided to annualize the franchise, people were kind of burned out by the time Solo hit. The Force Awakens was a mammoth success, but then people were kind of worried about Rogue One. They ultimately went to see it though because the premise was interesting and word of mouth was very positive. Then The Last Jedi was another mammoth success, but thats three years in a row of Star Wars movies. On the fourth year they come at us with a movie about Han Solo starring a guy who neither looks or sounds even remotely like Han Solo, and the marketing just didnt work. No matter how much fun your movie is, people arent going to go out of their way to see something that would have been better suited as a Netflix series (you know, since Disney didnt exist yet), at least not in the droves you want them to. Shes got a great personality, and the way her allegiances seem to shift throughout the film is really fun to watch. Her boss, Dryden Vos, also played brilliantly by Paul Bettany, makes for a great if ultimately one-note villain. His boss, though, the one who is casually alluded to in early on, was the real shocker. After Dryden Vos is killed by Qira, she gives the head guy in charge a buzz and its freaking Maul, played by Ray Park and voiced by Sam Witwer. If that seems odd, in case you didnt know, in The Phantom Menace, Ray Park played Darth Maul, but they wound up dubbing his voice with another actor because they wanted Maul to sound a certain way, which Park did not. Sam Witwer is the guy who voices Maul in The Clone Wars and Rebels TV series, and oh man its SO GREAT seeing Maul back in live action again, even if it is only via hologram.
