> It's a fucking space cowboy western

I agree with Red Letter Media's take on this: SW is fundamentally a small universe (yes the universe IN SW is vast, but the universe OF SW is not: it's just rebels+jedis fighting stormtroopers+darth-lords. The only attempt at expanding the universe, the prequels, was a disaster). With that in mind, it's not surprising the movies are so unimaginative and Disney keep repeating themselves.

My favorite example from the new Solo film: Solo is told something like "find me later on Tatooine".

Imagine somebody saying "If we get out this, see me later - I'll be on earth." Or, even "I'll in New York." Does Tatooine have more than one city? More than one bar? Is there a phone directory for finding people there?
