The Weekly Stuff #237 – Reviewing Solo: A Star Wars Story, Talking Persona 3 & 5 Dancing, and more!

After just 5 months, Star Wars is back in theaters with Ron Howard’s Solo: A Star Wars Story, and we have complicated feelings about it! We both like the film to varying degrees, but what both its content and tepid box-office performance say about the current state and confusing future of the franchise gives us an awful lot to talk about. We also discuss the Japanese releases of Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night and Persona 5: Dancing Star Night, the latest spin-off rhythm games from our favorite franchise. Jonathan asks Sean for help with Dark Souls Remastered, we ponder the news of an in-development Boba Fett movie, and much more!
