Solo: A Fanservice Story *Unmarked SP* (Off-Topic)

I think they did a terrible job with marketing this movie. I legitimately had forgotten about until I was looking to see if there was anything worth going to see today.

The trailers also do absolutely nothing to give the audience any sort of clue what this movie actually is. It's a heist movie, really.

I'm not an analytical movie watcher, so I can't really talk about films in that way. I can just say that I thought it was enjoyable, if overly reliant on fan service. I do think it does some good things with the Han/Chewie relationship (namely, giving Chewie a whole lot more agency than "I saved his life so he pledged a Life Debt to me". This movie made it clear Chewie is there by choice and not some sort of twisted sense of obligation, trading one form of slavery for another).

For whatever it's worth, I didn't really like Rogue One (even though I think it was well made), but really love both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.
