    It’s pretty clear Disney had no fucking clue what they were doing with Star Wars after they acquired it.

    One might argue that they still don’t have a clue.

      Solo proved that to me, the whole mystery of han just completely washed away by making a single film that shows every reason for everything about him.

      Its like they were just going down a checklist

      “Oh so we do the kessel run, and how he met chewey, and get this we show why his last name is solo and its just the lamest shit ever, oooh oooh lets also give him a love interest that was never referenced again ever!”

      “WRITE THAT DOWN PATRICK ALL OF IT”

      like the key and peele sketch about gremlins 2

      Statistically, it probably tracks that Rogue One, Andor, and The Acolyte are good simply because eventually something won’t suck if you put together the right combination of artists by accident.

          Yeah, I enjoyed it. Far cry from the snoozefests of Boba Fett: Sand Mayor, Obi-Whine, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Ass in a Flight Suit.
