If Solo: A Star Wars Story hit the spot, these will too

A fast, likable crew adventure out on the franchise's frontier
The difference: Optimistic Federation polish, none of the underworld grime

Han's world again — smugglers, old debts and the Falcon in full flight
The difference: A saga-scale relaunch — Han is a supporting player, not the show

The other standalone — Star Wars from ground level, scoundrels included
The difference: Grim war-movie stakes — the roguish fun curdles into sacrifice

A crew of lovable outlaws risking everything for one of their own
The difference: Openly emotional — it wants tears where Solo wants a grin

Both land ideas and scale at once

Both keep coming back to the same thing: spacecraft
The difference: 22 years apart, and the 1990s show

Underdogs stumbling into a destiny far bigger than themselves
The difference: Teen origin drama with a toyetic finale — thin on swagger

Blockbuster spectacle built on a secret history hiding in plain sight
The difference: Deafening Bay maximalism — spectacle without the charm

Common ground: space opera
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Kinetic and awestruck in the same breath

Science fiction built on ideas, twice over

Epic adventure, and it commits to that
