I don't remember Solo looking that bad but I guess it didn't have the pop of The Last Jedi or Rogue One (which is my favorite looking Star Wars movie apart from CGI Tarkin which was a horrible mistake they should have handled that different, put him in shadows or something, instead they insist on doing these insane close ups on a CGI character when the technology just clearly isnt there yet. I dont know why they did that....)
Oh yea Solo looks really ugly, clear lack of light, messed up a lot of work from the other crew members just cause he has his gimmick and Ron Howard let that shit slide and didn't replace his behind.
You are also right with Rogue One looked really good best "lived in" modern Star Wars movies, looked so good. If you want shots like a painting then TLJ and if you want the gritty real feel then RO.
Solo ugly, TFA had it's moments.. really good ones like the snow lightsaber duel or the opening too but overall looked a tad to clean and laboratory for my taste.. really digging that Ep 9 trailer.. those sand particles and the way the camera is moving when it pans down from Rey's face to the hilt down and then from behind like an old school western and out of focused character when looking at the incoming space ship.. I'm like YES!
"When Oscar Isaac arrived in Wadi Rum for his first week of shooting, Abrams had set up a massive greenscreen in the middle of the desert. “And I was like, ‘J. J., can I ask you a question? I notice we’re shooting on greenscreen.’ And he’s like, ‘So why the hell are we in the desert?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah!’ And he said, ‘Well, because look: the way that the sand interacts with the light, and the type of shots you would set up—if you were designing the shot on a computer you would never even think to do that.’ There’s
something about the way that the light and the environment and everything plays together.” It’s that something, the presence and the details and the analog imperfections of a real nondigital place, that makes
Star Wars so powerful."
So yea it got me hyped and looked great and again it's a good sign when I notice this type of stuff cause I'm not really that deep with details unless they are really all up in my face. (at least from my perspective and scale on how I judge this things)
