[QUOTE="jedisearcher, post: 485565, member: 3582"] The Kevin Feige comparison is absolutely valid. He’s not there to make sure ever film is good, if you make 19 films you aren’t going to get 19 classics no matter what you do, but he 100% makes sure that the overall narrative stacks up in a consistent manner. Yes, Marvel let good young filmmakers make the films but he makes sure that they don’t run roughshod over what’s gone before which is a direct contradiction to what KK has let Johnson do to Abrams, and what undoubtedly Abrams will “correct” in Ep9. The role is crucial if you’re going down a Universe type route and so far Feige is the only one who’s had the right framework to achieve it. I feel a little bit sorry for Solo, it came at a bad time post-TLJ carnage, and timed to avoid Poppins at Xmas in the middle of an already busy summer, but I don’t think you can get away from the fact that the telling of Hans story just isn’t a very exciting concept. Is it unmissable viewing to see how he met Chewie, the life debt, how the Falcon got its strange dialect, how he got even with Lando? To me, not at all, and it seems to many others it wasn’t mandatory viewing either. We’ve all had 40 years of imaginings how these things payed out in our own minds, do I really need a film to tell me the real story? I felt the same about Kenobi and Fett so I’m not really bothered they’re being shelved, I’d far prefer something far more original and interesting, but I’m not sure the people in charge at the moment are in any way capable of delivering that.
