The death of every crew member was touching in it’s own way - especially Rios and L3’s death were heart breaking.I didn’t find that touching. I was even glad that SJW L3 got killed… (and her death scene is ridiculous… it’s just a droid, just retrieve the memory card and put that elsewhere… AND NOT AS THE FALCON AI IF POSSIBLE GUYS !!! Stop ruining the OT, just make movies slightly related but stop making retcon that just don’t work and are lame).
It’s more like the other way around, things that were said or that happen in the Original Trilogy was because of the events that happen in Solo. If Solo had come out first in 1976, then we got A New Hope in 1977, people would still be complaining. The Millennium Falcon has engine issues because of what they did in Solo during the Kessel Run. Is that fan service, yes, does it really matter, no. There’s way too many people complaining about this film, it’s a frickin movie, they’re not writing about something that actually happened. I loved the movie, even with all the references and fan service stuff, it made sense, it was funny, it had drama, danger and it told a story. Everyone is just nitpicking. I want a sequel, but I’ll never get one because of the people who gripe and complain about dumb stuff. I love what Ron Howard did, but he’ll probably never come back now. This could have been way worse than what we got, thank God Kathleen Kennedy stepped in. Remember, it’s just a damn movie.
