They're mates and Lucas even advised Howard on Solo. As did Harrison Ford.

Yeah but when he had the chance to direct the most anticipated move of all time in the 90s he passed because it was just a little too hard dealing with George.

I doubt that's the reasoning, Howard was already a very successful director who had his own projects, some that were planned years in advance. He talked about taking on Solo because he had a hole in his schedule after taking a break to focus on his production schedule. Maybe there was also the pressure of making a Star Wars film at that time, maybe he didn't rate the script. Either way, he's been friends with Lucas for 30-plus years.

i found it a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours but it was so unmemorable. Its been a few weeks since i watched it and none of it has stuck with me.
At least TLJ pissed me off enough to care about it

Solo and TLJ are the very bottom basement SW movies of all time.

Yeah, gotta admit Solo didn't handle a 2nd viewing on DVD like I thought it might...
I'll never understand the love for ROTJ. Acting, story, effects, everything...it loses to nearly every other movie. I'll always maintain that ROTJ, a few bourbs and some Old Jamaican is a great night in, don't get me wrong here, but there's so much wrong with this movie. I was there too, I'm 50 next year and saw all of these movies at the cinema the first time, but ROTJ really is the poor cousin of the original trilogy...
Hoping The Mandalorian delivers...

I think ROTJ gets saved by having many cool, badass and impactful moments but is has sought of phoned in feeling becuase they didn’t have to try as hard since Star Wars was already successful at that point.

ROTJ might not be the strongest film but it has some of the best moments of the series, like the run in the Death Star, the final duel between Luke and Vader and even the sail barge battle.

The best
Star Wars, ESB
The next
ROTS, R1, ROTJ
The ok with some entertainment value
TFA, TPM
The meh
Solo
The 'well it's still Star Wars so that's something it has going for it over other movies'
AOTC
The movie that shouldn't have been made
TLJ
...
Strange enough TLJ did feel more Star Wars like than TFA which was a bit generic. It had better lore and universe building. Just everything else was no good for me.

Return of the Jedi has the best space battle ever put to screen and nothing came close to it til Rogue One, but it didn't top it.

I often like films I was initially didn't like much a lot more on a 2nd or even a 3rd viewing but this only got worse trying again.

So sick of 'artists' getting in a tizzy over their paying customers not liking their products because they want to think their vision is infallible

Yep. It's only making us/me hate SW more.
