How they should approach the Han Solo movie...

I got some thoughts about how it should be made. I don't know how this whole star wars re-vitalization is going to work out. Force Awakens did NOT seal the deal on people's interest in new star wars. In fact, it kinda blew it. Instead of making a big epic amazing fuck ass star wars movie, JJ and company opted for a weird little awkward family friendly simplistic film that has divided everyone about whether it was successful in what it set out to do.

Either Episode 8 kicks all our asses so hard, we forgive TFA's shortcomings or sad to say this whole disney star wars series might have been far too rushed to have been great. Which is what I'm hoping is not the case.

Rogue One may be the saving grace we're looking for here, but with talks of reshoots, it appears they might have rushed that one too. You can't rush these movies, take your time and do it right.

Anyway, like I said before I want the Han Solo film to be the star wars movie TFA was not. Star Wars should not feel like you're on planet earth 90% of the time. That's kinda the point of star wars, to explore the stars and war all up in them.

So to have TFA take place on yet another sand planet, really stupid, the whole part with them going to the nice clean earth-like planet, yet another misstep, then the final stuff is basically a giant send up to ANH and ESB with the death star and snowy areas. Why nobody said to JJ, let's try different planets and shit, I'll never know.

So this han solo movie HAS TO take place on new exciting locations with tons of weird star warsy shit in it. Has to. Not once should you feel like you're not in an alien environment.
