It's been "actual canon" for 6 years.

It's literally 1 minute into the first East Coast showings in the US.
It was pretty good, I was into it for the most part. I particularly enjoyed the train heist, that had some great music to go along. Weirdly enough the soundtrack is what impressed me the most of the entire movie. Score's pretty memorable and I want to listen to it again. The meetup with Chewbacca is a highlight and felt organic instead of forced. I was surprised by Alden, his acting was actually pretty good and he only got upstaged by Glover who is just perfect as Lando. Alden though gives his own interpretation of Han and doesn't try to really mimic Ford and it mostly works. I think it'd be jarring if you would immediately watch ANH after, but confined to the movie I think he did a fine job.
I don't know about the Maul cameo. It's a nice gift to the people following along with Clone Wars/Rebels but it'll only feel substantial if they do something with him in other spinoffs. And even then... fans already know where this ends and we got a very satisfying conclusion with him in Rebels. I don't know where they're going with this.
And why did he ignite his saber? That was so lame, no need for that at all. Friend of mine noticed the same thing and thought it was jarring. "Oh yeah that's right, I still got this saber".
This movie is horrendous. Left the theater to use the bathroom. Might not even go back to my seat. I'm baffled by how dull this thing is
I saw it earlier and genuinely considered leaving with 1 hour to go.
Cant happen. They never encountered each other before they met in Rebels during the post ROTS years, made very clear in the show.I know rebels is a thing but....
Not having Maul as an antagonist in Obi-Wan simply cannot happen. It must happen.
Now I'm super bummed if Solo doesn't do well in the BO since I need to see what the hell is gonna happen with Maul.
Actually think this is one of the worst-directed big budget movies I've seen in a while.
I don't understand how that is something you could find "embarrassing." Like, I get if you didn't care about it but embarrassing? That's strange.
My theater loved it. Seems that was the reaction from a lot of theaters, based on what I'm seeing here and on Twitter.
Come on, the direction was bad, of all things?

My theater reacted to literally nothing. None of the jokes, none of the fan service, none of the action beats. Honestly I wasn't even impressed with Glover.
He doesn't wanna fuck a dead droid..come on, man..show some respect..

Movie was pretty good. L3 was hilarious. Han and Lando seemed on point enough. Jarvis taking Ls this year lol. Not the greatest, but not at all bad. Question that I'm sure has been answered once or twice..who was the Sith, and when, exactly, does this take place? Almost feels like they left room for a sequel..
