Disney/Lusas Films Whenever "Star Wars" tries to develop one of the franchise's key characters, it whiffs. "Solo" is no exception, a disappointment on par with "The Last Jedi" and the prequels. That said, this movie underperforms for different reasons than those counterparts. To understand exactly what is wrong with "Solo: A Star Wars Story," it helps to take a look at the other "Star Wars" movies that have also tried to add new stories to old characters. The problems with the prequels were myriad: The dialogue was wooden, the pacing sluggish, the stories nonsensical.
