Saw Solo in a almost empty theatre at 20h30, which doesn’t bode well for the box office. I liked it for the most part, although in the larger scheme of things it’s pretty inconsequential, which in it’s own way is sort of a sad state for a Star Wars film to be.
I don’t think it’s intended to be consequential though? There was never a side-story aspect to a SW film before RO, and even that one has big stakes that lead right into ANH.
I know, and I guess it doesn’t have to be. However, this is the first Star Wars film that feels like “just a movie” and not an event. It appears it’s possibly going to be remembered most for bombing at the box office, deflating the value of the Star Wars property.
