Solo felt more like the original Star Wars movies than Rogue One to me. Rogue One felt like a generic pre-war/spy movie with sci-fi and a fictional setting than a star wars movie.
I mean technically the original Star Wars is just a generic heroes journey with sci-fi and a fiction setting.
Nothing about Star Wars is original if we want to get that reductionist about it. We could easily hand wave the original trilogy away as being carried by its effects.
It’s not particularly original, it’s never been narratively innovative, and it’s never been particularly well written on a dialogue standpoint. That’s not what carries them. It’s a sum of its parts/timing situation when you get down to it.
Solo put the yeehaw back.
Star Wars was yeehaw in space.
