I'm trying to remember which ones I've seen, I think Rouge One and the first one with Rey? I remember the casino scene and horse thing rescue, which seemed just a bizarre thing to randomly throw in.

My brother went and saw Solo, and said it wasn't terrible, just pointless.

I thought Rogue One wasn't bad. It was pretty cool knowing the entire time exactly what it was leading up to and seeing how they got there. It was a smart choice to focus on characters we previously knew nothing about and not get bogged down in trying to appeal to nostalgia. Especially considering the whole premise really is hinged on nostalgia for the first film.

Yeah, it definitely could have been worse.
