Solo - The Star Wars Movie
BenRG:
FWIW, I view Rogue One as the Wonder Woman of the Disney Wars era - The one definite and unequivocal good film in a series mostly plagued by questionable artistic, characterisation and plotting choices that make the films divisive amongst what should be a rock-solid and reliable fan-base (with Episodes VII and VIII being Man of Steel and Batman v Superman respectively).
I'm wondering if Solo will confirm or break this trend. I've got the feeling that it is going to be the equivalent of Suicide Squad - A quirky and artistically-unique crowd-pleaser but with an indefinable sense that it was somehow done wrong.
Tova:
I have no doubt there will be a group of people who will be upset it was done wrong. The only question is how big that group will be.
P.S. Rogue One is probably my favourite of the Disney era SW films, so we are not in complete disagreement.

That each of those movies (besides the first one) saw that other films were named Solo and still named their film that? :parrot:
But yeah, I can see why they'd mention Star Wars in all of their marketing, but they could've still just had the actual title be Solo. It's not a huge deal, just my preference.

...is it, though? It's still pretty important through Kylo, Luke, and Leia, but I would argue that the third trilogy's main focus is elsewhere.
TheEvilDog:
Even if the heroes are Rey, Finn and Poe, they are still subject to the actions of Skywalkers and the effect of their actions on the galaxy.
(click to show/hide)Rey seeking Luke as a teacher and in turn bringing him back to the galaxy at large, even after he had essentially given up.
Rey being tempted to the Dark side by Kylo and in turn her trying to find something left of Ben.
Poe getting his career shot down by Leia because of his hotheadedness, with her serving as his mentor.
The focus of the new trilogy might be the new heroes, but Skywalkers are still influencing the galaxy.
Blue Kitty:
Also Kylo Ren/Ben Solo is a freaking Skywalker in all but name
