It took me a few minutes to get the jist of what you were saying and realise I was agreeing with you
I’ve enjoyed the Legends series since Zahn’s novels but its just too painful to work new movies into the web of pre-existing media. Even Solo has references to other canon material which if you didn’t know about, would make you go, “WTF?”

Look, I’m probably putting my head in the lion’s mouth here, and this is not meant to insult anyone - your viewpoint is as valid as mine - but...
Canon, shmanon.
Who cares if it contradicts what has come before? Give me a good story and I’m happy (which is not necessarily saying Solo is a good story well told), continuity be damned. I can enjoy either story, and believe what I choose.
I love the Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds...” (google the rest of the quote, totally worth it). Not saying anyone here is small-minded for having an opinion, but art is much better enjoyed when one lets go of any pre-conceived ideas of what it ‘should be’. Same goes for the fanboy gnashing of teeth over TLJ, in my humble opinion.

Totally agree M, it's entertainment and therefore nothing is writ in stone.Originally Posted by M-bot
That said I really didn't want to see Solo, because of the directoral changes, because it was another bloody starwars movie but this is a thing I do with my nephew and his dad, it's our thing and I really enjoyed it and it's one movie I wouldn't mind having a sequel to.
