Coincidence is how movies work. Seriously. Analyze almost any flick and you'll find plenty of things just happening at the right time to move things along. In this universe though, the force is helping direct things, so I can buy the seemingly abundance of coincidental.
Remember too that they're working from an overall map of the trilogy. It's all leading somewhere and each movie in the trilogy plays a specific role in this story.
I can dig standalone movies like Solo that don't do much beyond tell a specific tale and entertain. Honestly, this is probably because I don't look at Star Wars as some sort of Sacred Cow. So long as the movies entertain me like they did when I was a kid, I'm good.
Well met.
Don’t get me started on TLJ. Lol. Not to open that crazy bag of cats, but I was never and EU fan. I started reading Zahn the day after I saw it. I just needed an alternative to what I had just seen. I just watched 3, one hour video critiques by the same fellow about the poor writing- but that’s a conversation of for another thread.
Let’s hope for the best for the trilogy’s finally.
While I’m at it can I tell you how nice it is to have a discussion with someone with opposing viewpoints on modern Star Wars films and have the conversation not get defensive. Always a pleasure Smokebellew.
If you have the time, like 5 hours, YouTube Critique of the Last Jedi. It will be the first video to come up. Three vids of about 1:30-1:50 in length each. After I listened to them I no longer felt alone in my opinion.
