I’ll be honest. I didn’t see the movie because I’m really wasn’t much of s Han Solo fan. My main motivation to watch the original films was luke’s Story arc. So this movie didn’t excite me. Definitely not enough to go out to see it in the theaters. Granted I’ll probably eventually watch on Netflix.
Now if or when they they get a Ewen McGregor obi wan Kenobi movie out. I’ll see that in a second.
Wow.... Only $84,751,000 for the three day weekend? That's almost embarrassing.... for a movie like this. But I haven't read the thread yet to avoid spoilers, but in addition to what I've read before the movie came out in regards to the lead actor's lack of resemblance to Harrison Ford and other things... I had started to say this before the movie came out but never got around to saying it... but I'm just wondering if the frequency of another Star Wars movie only after 6 months hurt this movie. Because unlike Marvel movies which aren't always expected to be runaway blockbusters for ever movie... Star Wars is like a brand name for 'big event' movies... and in my opinion, having a Star Wars movie come out every six months kind of 'cheapens' the Star Wars brand... Or in other words, I thought that this movie came out too soon after The Last Jedi and that contributed to hurting this movie at the box office.
In the theater I was in, the death of L3-37 was taken precisely the opposite of Rogue-One's K-2SO. When L3-37 finally shut up, there was applause.
Interestingly, this author classed the destruction of L3-37 as the movie's example of "fridging the girl"--apparently he didn't notice the real woman who got "fridged" much earlier.
Yet more proof that our educational system is dead. We teach kids to regurgitate Newspeak lest they commit the mortal sin of a thoughtcrime. But teach them to actually think? Nah. We can't control the drones if they're actually thinking.

I have to say, I was happier when L3 was destroyed. Also, the whole relationship between Lando and L3 was just odd.
I saw it yesterday. Wasn't great, wasn't horrible. I was entertained.
I thought the train thing was cool as were the "outlaws" who should have gotten much more screen time.
And Paul Bettany chewing the scenery with yet more weird facial make-up doesn't get old.
The rest of the cast was pretty good too.
Is there now a "Woody Harrelson-type" for sci-fi/fantasy movies?
Could do without ever seeing another alien lounge singer and some of the box-checking was really heavy-handed, but overall not sorry I paid to see it in the theater.
It get's lonely out in space and we don't know what other skills she might have had.
By that time, droids could take care of all your needs.
I believe it was hinted that Lando was taking care of some of L3's 'needs'.
