The Honest Trailer for Episode IX comes out next December.

From the moment it was announced back in 2015, fans were skeptical of Solo's prospects. Viewers had a difficult time buying into the premise, wondering what the purpose of the movie was and why the studio was even bothering with it. In the end, Solo scored generally favorable reviews from audiences and critics, but few would consider it among the best the series has to offer. That sentiment is quite apparent in the latest edition of Honest Trailers, which takes aim at Solo.

For whatever reason, this installment struggled to connect with the general public and it will forever have an interesting place in Star Wars history. Hopefully, whatever lessons the studio learned from this situation stick, and the next era of the galaxy far, far away can go off without a hitch.
