I found the attempt to explain the origin of every single piece of Solo lore to be supremely irritating. Han’s last name, Chewbacca’s nickname, the Kessel Run, his signature blaster, why he shoots first, the distinctive shape of the Falcon, his gambling prowess, his soft spot for rebels...it just goes on and on. It’s like everything we know about this character was determined in the short time span of him hanging out with Woody Harrelson. Even if it was successful enough for a sequel, what do they even have left to develop.
But that’s just me, and I probably also went into it super jaded after TLJ, like many others. Maybe it deserves a rewatch cause I haven’t given it a second look since its initial release.
