Liked the actor playing Han but some characters felt not so Star Wars'ish ... I like Emilia Clarke but Star Wars isn't univers for her.

No real improvement here, still loaded with dumb dialogue and still visually stunning. Depends what you want I guess.

This movie has become one of my favorite Star Wars movies now and I think it will become another classic down the line. The characters all feel believable in the Star Wars universe; especially Han Solo. It's awesome to see his arrogance brewing when he is young and also how clumsy/innocent he was about the world. He still has that charisma and charm that feels like Han Solo. The other supporting characters were awesome too and felt equal in importance to Han Solo. They were all great additions and I hope to see them return in later sequels. The acting from everyone was terrific. The action was top notch; way better than M:I-Fallout. I also loved the humor in this entry. As well as the romance. There were a lot of unexpected surprises in the movie that made me smile. Overall, I can't wait for the next movie that follows this plot line. It's the best modern Star Wars movie lately!… Expand

The problem here has come down to the plot. The story was uninspring and I lost interest midway through. I watched it all and overall enjoyed it but quickly forgot about it and I am not feeling inclined to watch it again. So I will give it 6/10. Good movie to watch but it will not covert you to the light side.… Expand

While I admit that The Last Jedi was a failure in story telling and use of old and newThis movie was the scapegoat for The Last Jedi and the only Star Wars movie that made loses (Never thought that the last point was even possible). While I admit that The Last Jedi was a failure in story telling and use of old and new characters it has nothing to do with this movie. It is the retelling or better said a reboot for the backstory of Han Solo. Before the movie I don't thought it was necessary. The backstory was well established in at least seven Star Wars books I read and some comics I heard of. After seeing the movie I was satisfied and will say the movie was worth watching. I should mention that the initial directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord left the project because of creative differences (There are many rumours circulating about this). It was most likely a critical loss for the movie. Look at their filmography and you will get a glimpse of what was possible. But back to the movie: You see Han grown up in poverty chasing his dreams in a cruel galaxy. Then there are of cause the meeting with Chewbacca, how he get the Millennium Falcon, the Kessel run and there is a heist. The characters are excellent. Alden Ehrenreich is a fitting Han Solo. He is naive and a rascal (all meanings of the word!) at the same time. Donald Glover as Lando is the best character in the movie. He is interesting, charming and has always an ace in his sleeve;-). The rest of the cast is impressive. I like Emilia Clarke as Qi’ra (Top rascal), Woody Harlson as Tobias Becket (Scoundrel of all traces master of some) and the social justice robot L3-37 (So entertaining, should have more screentime). Chewbacca (Jonas Suotamo)is a different case. I think he does also an excellent job but should have a bit more screen time (Also the costume dilutes his skills. How did Andy Serkis avoid this?). All characters work well together, have believable motives and interactions. The story delivers what you expect in a good way with some surprises and good fan service. There are no complaints in this regard. The pacing is good as are the settings and visuals. The music is always top notch in a Star Wars movie. There are of cause some things that are negative: The scene where Han gets his surname is ridiculous. I want to know more how Qi’ra got there were she is. If you see the surprising cameo end scene you will fully concede (Would have the potential for an even better movie). Overall a movie worth my time even it it will not be in my top ten for the year. It is much better than many people will make you believe.… Expand

The plot takes place approximately ten years prior to the events of A New Hope, and explores the early adventures of Han Solo and Chewbacca, who join a heist within the criminal underworld. You shouldn't go into this with the same expectation anyone would have for the sequel trilogy ('The Force Awakens', 'The Last Jedi'). With that in mind, one should be mildly entertained by this movie. The casts did very well in their performance. I do have a problem with the plot though. It is decent, but just is not good enough to make this a good movie. The plots and scenes goes along the style of mindless action type, which I am usually not a fan of. There are some nice twists in the end, but even that feels like forced out of nowhere, implying there is a lack of cohesiveness in its execution.

This is a decent watch on the whole. Just don't expect too much out of this film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I did wait longer to see this at the cinema that I would normally do, much because of the horrible Last Jedi. But this one was much better!! Exciting, no dull "laughs" every 5 minutes, good characters (and acting), fun surprises and over all a good scifi-western. Han Solo was younger, unexperienced and may not have known himself as good here as he does further down his storyline. So I think this is the right way to do this movie, because Han will progress! And thank god he shot first!!… Expand

Evidemment.

Ainsi, ce nouvel avatar de la saga qui retrace les origines de Han Solo s’égare (encore !) dans ses atermoiements et ses gesticulatoins de justice sociale à deux balles (les autochtones, la « robote » par exemple…) tandis que le scénar ne sent clairement pas bon : il daube le nanar de gare bricolé par quelques crevards, c’est-à-dire des stagiaires bourrés… et personne, absolument personne n’a relu cette merde avant de commencer à tourner !

On sait qu’il s’agit d’un monde interlope et glauque avec des traîtres sur commande mais les rebondissements qui abondent et abusent achèvent de précipiter ce « Solo » dans la fosse de la médiocrité, pour ne pas dire parfois de la nullité très alarmante. C’est bon pour le rythme qui ne faiblit pas (on ne s’ennuie pas, non, non) mais on peste devant cette pseudo-histoire trouée de partout qui fait lever les yeux au plafond plus que de raison.

La copine de Solo (la fille de Game of Thrones, brune et habillée pour une fois) qui fait office de romance Harlequin pour le « mauvais garçon » apprenti-contrebandier s’avère elle aussi bien peu crédible et aussi creuse que le reste des personnages de pacotille. Seul le wookie tire son épingle du jeu…

La mise en scène de Ron Howard est heureusement tout à fait correcte sans vraiment se distinguer outre-mesure mais on ne peut pas demander la lune non plus. Mais l’ensemble est trop souvent mal éclairé : du temps de Hitchcock, c’était 3000W de projos et là, c’est 5W pour quasiment les deux tiers du film ! les effets spéciaux sont bien sûr magnifiques mais on n’en attend pas moins de la part de gros budgets de cette ampleur.

Néanmoins, si ç’avait été moins long, moins con et moins fan service, alors peut-être que ç’aurait été moins mauvais que d’habitude mais on reste ici -encore- dans le marasme des déjections disniaises, c’est un fait… regrettable.… Expand

Han looking foward to get her back, he start working for the empire to get money and a ship to rescue here and during the events a lot of thing happen, and a lot of surprises are revealed with a group of thiefs that he ends up in. Directed by Ron Howard. Written by Jonathan Kasdan and Lawrence Kasdan.
This movie first come to answer some questions that no one really asked, some characters that exist and we end up loving them, wich is the case of Darth Vader, when they did the prequels, they completely screwed the character in a way that mostly surely prefer to considered that those movies aren't part of the cronology, in this one they gave a origin of the criminal life of Han Solo, don't worry because it isn't nowhere close as what they did with Anakin in the prequels, but still, i'm not sure if i really wanted to know this story in the way that it was told, it felt rushed, feeling like almost everything that we know about the character happened in one week, the time passing in the movie isn't very well represented. The movie have one aspect that i don't like much anywhere, wich is the convenient coincidence, that one character needs one thing and is looking after that hardly, and suddenly he goes to one place and voilà, there it is, i don't always think that this kind of way to progress the story is lazy. The story overall, beyond those things, contains a bunch of little flaws, like a character that needs to go to a place, but he can't be reconized, so he sends a represented of his assemble, but the represented have a mark in his pulse that directly turns on to him, that was weak. Another weak point was on his name, like damn, considering what happened next on the movies, that didn't made any sense to me. A point at the story that didn't pleased me very much, was the careless about characters, some people die during the course of the movie, and you don't really care, like, they were pretty bad in making you care about most of the characters during this movie, even the main ones, you already know how they are going to end up, so it didn't really end up well in this point. But it ain't all bad, even with all of these problems, we gotta consider that this movie isn't supose to be as deep and emotional as the most others of the franchise, this one actually is more a 2 hour fun with not much depth, the story isn't the most cliche ever, it ain't new, it is more about heists, with plans and stuff, and that worked out very well for me, it was nice to see they assembling and having some plans. Some answers on how something end up in other movies in here was really nice, for me the chewbacca part was very nice, it was fun and surprising, because i didn't expected to him to show or teaming up like that, it was good. Somethings that we really wanted to see was the Kessel Run moment, that is referenced during the whole franchise, and for me it worked very well, it wasn't great to watch, but it was good, it get me to understand better how did that worked and what exactly happened in that circumstance. There are some plot twists in the movie, a bit of those worked, but it got so predictable, that at the same time got ridiculous that how the characters didn't knew by themselves what was going on.
The action of the movie is at least functional, it doesn't have anything special, i didn't got impressed as i'm used to in the star wars movies, it is the basic "pew pew pew" and nothing much further than that. The spaceships and cars moments, in other hand, i really enjoyed, the pilot that Han is, i think it got well represented in here. Another action moments and characters interactions during the movie, for me, did saved it in a lot of moments.
Alden Ehrenreich did a very good job, i gotta say, i got surprised in here, i really liked his impressions most of the time, he could get the mannerisms of Harrison Ford in the character, the little things, in the details, i thinks that it was really nice, there one or two moments that i didn't bought what was going on, but mostly, i think that he did good. Emilia Clarke work very well in romantic moments, in action moments i didn't got very convinced, and neither in her lies during the movie, i knew by far that she wasn't saying the true and got me shocked that the other characters didn't. Donald Glover did good, he convinced me better then anyone that he was the youngest version of that Lando Calrissian by Billy Dee Williams, he got the details very well, the trickery and the confidence was very well portraied. Paul Bettany did well for me, i villain that we don't know when is safe or not.… Expand

It's a nice entertaining Star Wars story about how Han Solo met Chewie and got his ship. Not every Star Wars film has to be have the fate of the galaxy at stake. It's nice to see a more contained character driven story about a much smaller problem. There were a lot of little eater eggs for hardcore Star Wars fans which I absolutely loved (The bag guy knows Teras Kasi and fights with vibro knucklers. I nearly died when I saw that).

The film also appropriately addresses the Han shot first debate by canonically showing you that Han is absolutely the type of person who shoots first.… Expand

Donald Glover in particular gives a strong reinvention of the Lando character and most of the performances were genuine memorable performances and not impressions. There is a life within this movie and it rides with these characters, but they're being thrust into a story and vision that has very little coherence or purpose whatsoever. Had this been a mini-series or more evoking vision, Solo would be a wondrous Star Wars story. But the movie itself has really nothing to offer or leave you with. It has many exciting things in it, but aside from the character performances, Solo is better experienced by purchasing the soundtrack, which hails more worth and awe than the movie itself.

It also satisfied most of fan expectation shedding light to a very interesting, fun and entertaining back story of one of the most important major characters in the Star Wars universe.
The acting was very good, and top notch by every single one of them. The directing was done with great care as well, just as the scenes and the script suggests the work of a professional. Also the story was very good and entertaining and also kept real to the environment and previously set rules of the world and other story lines in it. The humor was very fitting and added another layer of entertainment to the movie.

Plot: 7

The second instalment of Star Wars Anthology explores the adventures of young Han Solo in his early day as a smuggler before the events of Rogue One and Episode 4: A New Hope.

In an attempt to escape from a local criminal gang, young Han Solo (Ehrenreich) is separated from his lover, Qi'ra (Clarke), whom got captured by the gang. To avoid being capture as well, Han sign up for the Imperial Academy to be a pilot but he is expelled three years later due to insubordination and become an infantry.

During the Battle of Mimban, Han rescue a Wookie named, Chewbacca, and they together escape the battlefield with a criminal gangs led by Tobias Beckett. Han and Chewbacca worked together with Beckett in a heist to steal a shipment of coaxium, a powerful hyperspace fuel but it was a failure due to interference from Cloud Riders and the destruction of coaxium.

Han, Chewbacca and Beckett report back to Dryden Vos, a crime boss in Crimson Dawn syndicate about Beckett’s failure as he was working for Vos. Han also reunite with Qi'ra (who now works for Vos as top lieutenant) and he proposes to Vos that he will steal another shipment of coaxium to make up for Beckett’s failure and pay the debt. Together with Qi'ra, Han and his team locate a man named Lando Calrissian (Glover), who will be able to aid them in their mission.

Although Han and Lando are not portrayed by Harrison Ford and Billy Dee Williams, Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover have done a great job with their portrayal of the characters. Same goes to Emilia Clarke as well who have done a great job in her acting. There is also some important Easter Eggs as well as a huge surprise cameo which I do not expect it at all. However, the pacing of the movie is little too fast and could have been a little longer runtime. While the movie does serve as a good entry to the franchise, it does not really add anything new. Personally, I felt this movie is would be better off as novel or a television series.

Despite the taking over as the director during the late production, Ron Howard deserved to be praised for direction as he managed to make this movie enjoyable to watch which I personally thought this movie could be ruin due to behind-the-scenes shenanigan but he has done everything he can. If you want to know more about Han Solo’s background, this is the movie you would want to watch. Other than that, this movie does not directly connect to other instalments unlike Rogue One.… Expand

Solo sets out to tell a fitting origin story for one of Star Wars most iconic characters; it tries, and fails. Simple as that. The Star Wars universe is one of infinite potential. With such a unique basis in a sort of spatial technology world with spaceships and unique creatures and robots and lightsabers and the force, you really could keep on expanding the universe forever. But when the arrows in your film’s quiver consist of a boring train robbery scene and an unimaginative prison breakout… you’ve done something wrong. But on top of that, this movie’s narrative is so cryptic; so many things take place without emphasized context. Events happen and are so poorly explained or hinted at beforehand as well as afterwards; and in a franchise where traveling between separate galaxies is a common transitioning tool, cryptic storytelling is the last thing you want to have in your movie. Yet this dude just did this thing and I have no idea why. But another problem with this movie are the characters. A young, restless, rouge Han Solo is what they were going for… but he just comes off as so wooden and shallow; and the supporting characters aren’t even memorable enough to be significant. I think the only redeemable parts of this movie are Chewbacca’s character (Even though correctly writing a character who only ever makes weird sounds and gestures isn’t very impressive) and (my favorite part of the movie) L3. A sort of robot rights-activist which acts as satire of modern radical feminism is such a clever concept; and I was enjoying her presence in the film so much that I was waiting in enthusiastic anticipation for every new scene the movie shot with her because I was hyped to see her reactions and comments on every scenario. She supplied real laughs from me. But she was not enough to save the movie from being cryptic, bland, and boring; and a movie about star… wars… should never be boring.… Expand

I hated Last Jedi and thought it badly written, full of glaring plot holes, politically motivated and a sad way to kill of key characters. Now enter Solo, a movie I had very low expectations of after Last Jedi and some average reviews. Personally I think this is a great Star Wars movie, no political crap thrown in, no plot holes just a solid movie that back fills the story of Han Solo's rise to become a smuggler and meeting some characters we know well from other movies.

It has all the ingredients I needed for a good Star Wars movie, without ever elevating to becoming a true great like Empire. However it's not that kind of movie, it repairs some (only some) of the damage that Last Jedi did to the franchise. Keep up the good work guys, I would be very happy to see Solo turn into a trilogy or beyond.… Expand

The fatal flaw this movie suffers from is that it gave priority to introducing the characters over introducing its main plot and setting-up its story and the world it take place in. This resulted in making me interested in almost eachThe fatal flaw this movie suffers from is that it gave priority to introducing the characters over introducing its main plot and setting-up its story and the world it take place in. This resulted in making me interested in almost each character, but this absolutely wasn't enough to make me care for them when they are in danger as much as I should. Case in point, the first battle in which I didn't feel the least threat to the characters. But the biggest problem here is that I was nearly lost in the story. I was having fun seeing the characters react and talk, especially because they all have great chemistry with each other, but that definitely isn't what a movie need to be good.

Fortunately, the things got progressively better after the first act till this flaw completely diminished and then entirely disappeared. With that in mind, I became totally invested in the story as much as I was, and was still, invested in the characters.

The battle scenes, and the action set-pieces don't seem fresh or new, and that's exactly what made them so much fun to watch. Ron Howard shot the action sequences in a very classical way, and that's made me feel as I was watching one of the original trilogy's movies. That was very nostalgic!
Almost every scene that takes place inside the Millennium Falcon is staggering! Notably, the long battle scene that appeared in the movie's trailer. This scene is my favorite scene in the entire movie; it is a very intense scene that put me on the edge of my seat, add to that it showcases how terrific the chemistry between our main characters is. Ron Howard's vision of the Millennium Falcon is really looks fresh.

The action isn't the only thing in Solo that feels old-fashioned, but that applies to almost every aspect in this movie, most notably the denouement of the plot. The plot has classic plan that has plenty of back-to-back twists and turns near the end of the movie. Most of them worked pretty well, and I really was fooled many times, except the last one that was downright dull and stupid.

Alden Ehrenreich did a great job as the titular character. It's not like he was the only choice to play Han Solo, but he did his best embodying the character, and walked the fine line between coolness and imprudence that I couldn't help but imagine Harrison Ford's face watching him In action. In addition, Han's scenes with Chewbacca are magical as always.
I was worried about Emilia Clarke playing a Star Wars character, simply because I'm not a big fan of her, but she really proved that I was wrong just at the first scene she was in, and I found myself related to her character very fast.
Woody Harrelson is fantastic as always, and had a great chemistry with every actor he appeared with. Also, I loved his character. I think it has some depth, and that's the case with all the main characters.
Donald Glover just nailed it as Lando! He has an unparalleled charisma that really suits his character pretty well that I can't imagine any actor except him playing this role.
But there is one particular character, and one particular performance that really got my attention, and standed out for me. The performance is Thandie Newton's as Val. Her character has a very small role in the movie, but Thandie Newton took this character to another level, and made it one of the most interesting side characters in the movie.
As for the side character that I loved so much, it's the stubborn droid, L3-37. She was a scene-stealer with her funny lines and jokes that are rarely miss, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge's vocal performance was impeccable!

Speaking of the humor, unlike The Last Jedi, this movie didn't try too hard to make its jokes funny. The purpose of the humor here is to keep the movie light-hearted, instead of making us laughing. That being said, most of the jokes worked well for me, especially those which cane from the comic relief character, L3-37 as I mentioned above. To be honest, there are a couple of jokes that fall flat for me, not necessarily because they aren't funny, but because the timing of these jokes was very imprecise, and they didn't match the tone in some particular times.

The visual and sound effects are top-notch as any recent Star Wars film. So I hope the movie gets an Oscar nod in at least one of these categories like every Star Wars movie so far.

Overall, I enjoyed Solo: A Star Wars Story so much, and I wasn't expecting that at all. It's a fun old-fashioned fast-paced action flick that can satisfy any one who wants to watch an entertaining movie while having some popcorn. This movie by no means deserves the hate it got.

All around the script was really well written, the cinematography was excellent, and I find myself wishing I had gone to see it in the theaters and I would have if TLJ hadn't turned me off to Disney's Star Wars just a few months earlier.

Disney has full access to the Star Wars universe and continues to attempt to cash in on stories related to that which we have already seen. Regardless, Solo is an above average movie, despite its at times choppy editing, and rushed plot points such as the Kessel Run and Han meeting Chewbacca.

For me, the two brightest characters of the film were Woody Harrelson's Tobias and Emilia Clarke's Qi'ra, and to avoid spoilers, I will leave it at that. I also really enjoyed meeting the leader of the Crimson Dawn, but I doubt we will see a big screen follow up to flush his story out.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie failed to make me care. the introduction alone is 55 minutes and the actually story feels like side mission because it is not related to what the character wants. we were told that it would be about Han trying to reunite with his girlfriend but instead it's about going on an adventure to repay a mafia boss. and this Han solo character acts, looks, and is nothing like the one that we know and love in the original series. Han was supposed to be a mysterious confident space pirate with a long mysterious past. that is what made him Han Solo, but in this movie it explained every detail of his life and a bunch of other crap i don't care about and they did it very poorly. listen I don't care how Han got his gun, I don't care how he met Lando, I don't care how he got the falcon, met chewy, became a great pilot, or how he made the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs or even what that means, because none of it matters.

On the other hand, it counts with impressive acting talent, beautiful visuals, interesting additions to and from the SW lore, and a rather unique aesthetic design for the beloved Millenium Falcon.

It is the inverse of the problem I have with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. While that movie’s first two acts are a slog to get through, the third act is excellent and it ends off on a very high note. With Solo, the first two acts are great, but it really falls apart in the third. The pacing slows down to a crawl and you’re just waiting for the movie to end at that point. They really should’ve found a way to streamline the last act to keep up the energy of the rest of the movie. That probably wasn’t possible because of the extremely extensive reshoots, though. Honestly, I’m surprised this movie is as good as it is and not a Suicide Squad-level disaster. Overall, I’m sure this movie will be in my regular Star Wars rewatch rotation, but it’s one of my least favourites. I like most of the movie, but the ending kills it for me. Which is worse? A boring movie with a great ending or an exciting movie with a boring ending? I really don’t know. I have to say, I definitely prefer the Star Wars sequel trilogy to the spinoffs, and I’m very happy to hear that Lucasfilm will be slowing down with the spinoffs in the future. That’s a good move on their part, I think.… Expand

SoInitially I had never decided to watch the Star Wars Anthology movies, since I only wanted enough information to understand what the franchise is all about. I watched the movies (IX hadn't come out yet), and I really liked the storyline. So that is why I decided to watch this movie because I had really grown into liking Han Solo, and I didn't like how he was given such an unfair death. And so I decided to give this and Rogue One a watch. Unlike conventional audience, however, I liked Solo and didn't like Rogue One (the review is on my profile, in case you want to know why).
Solo is the only Star Wars movie that I was able to understand in my first viewing. English is not my first language and I watch the movies without the subtitles to hone better command over the language. This is why its campiness didn't bother me, but rather made me like it even more. Although the actor didn't really look like Harrison Ford, I was happy to just see him do something on the screen. That coupled with the amazing CGI and cinematography made this movie worth a watch.
I really liked the story. The beginning part where Han is trying to get himself a better life really made me feel uncomfortable in a good way. Seeing the scene I could feel how miserable Han was feeling at the moment. He only wanted a better life for his woman, and ended up being taken away from her and getting drafted. His meeting with Chewbacca felt very tense even though we all know they are going to be friends. The train robbery scene was also very cool, although I don't remember too much about this movie. It has been very long since I watched it.
As long as Solo helped in adding more to my favourite human character's lore in the franchise, I'm all good with it. It's great to see a movie which is all about Han Solo and Chewbacca, completely free from the influence of Luke or Leia. I really hope Star Wars makes a third movie in the anthology so that we can have a complete fourth trilogy.… Expand

Watched this a fair while ago but the acting was fairly good to excellent depending on the actor. The plot was also fairly good.

Nothing more than a fun romp set in the star wars universe, some character decisions felt weird and it felt out of place in the greater star wars universe but hey, Donald Glover is great as Lando and Woody Harellson is enjoyable in whatever he's in.

I didn't think this was all that bad , fairly fast paced action movie. I do think Disney was trying to hard to make there money back from buying Star Wars by putting too many Star Wars movies out to close together.

This really is a good movie, with good humor, and story, amazing visuals. Just didn't need to be made. It has no reason for its own existence. Ron Howard did the best he could with what he was given. But in the end, still pretty great.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie felt like it was trying to check off all of the boxes for what a Star Wars fan expects out off a Han Solo film. Show how Han meet Chewie; check. Show how Han meet Lando; check, check. Show how Han did the Kessel Run; check, check, check. Show how Han won the Falcon from Lando in a game of Sabacc; check, check, check, and check. It felt like the plot was jumping between important events in Han's life without much time to breath, like they were trying to tell his entire life story in under 2 hours. Let's start with discussing the lead, Han Solo. Alden was actually quite good in the role, we get to see Han being scoundrel with the heart of gold we all know him to be. We see how those who we cared about in his life all let him down causing him to "grow up" and pretend that he doesn't give a crap about anyone outside of himself. However the movie focuses so much on him that the supporting cast fades into the background. Lando is portrayed by Donald Glover who does a really good job of portraying a young, irresponsible version of Lando. Chewbacca finally rips someone's arm off and is saved by Han like in legends.

I would like to have seen more of what happened to Qu'ra after she was captured and to have explored her relationship with Dryden a little bit more as well as spending more time setting up Beckett to be the perfect foil for Han. Best character: Han Solo duh

Best moment: When Han first challenges Lando in Sabacc, also all of the parallels with Casino Royale. Don't get me started on L3-37

Final Assesment: it's fine… Expand

Fans have always begged for a Han Solo prequel and from source material, we are doing what we can to please the fans. We made a tough choice to release this at the same time as Infinity War, and well...

Ok anyways, I made a choice to fire Phil Lord and Chris Miller because they were going to adapt some KOTOR **** out of my source material. The mouse wasn't happy so we hired some B-lister director. Good thing that happened because fans will connect and relate to a character named L337, the leftist SJW. My favorite character, close second is Rey. I hope the toys are selling well.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Meh film, better than the 2 previous (even though it seems that I liked The Last Jedi a li'l bit more than like everybody else did, but that's an other thing) and is on the level of Rogue One. The main actor was okay (Han without Ford = food without salt), the robot literally deducted 1 (but at least a half) point from the rating, whatever, but the planets were colorful(ish), the story was still better and more "creative" (if I'm allowed to use that word HERE) than most SW films this century, and the most important: finally, some nostalgia. Not the kind of "TAKE THAT, HERE IS LEIA, LUKE, AND HAN, WHO CARES IF WE TREAT THEM LIKE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS" way, but some actual coolness smuggled (lol) into the film, like the Falcon's "origin", Solo's origins, the Kessel-run, so, well, I am gonna give it a stable 6, as a good sign, because THIS IS THE WAY.… Expand

I didn't have any expectations going into this one, but I ended up being happy. Generally speaking, it was a good action movie with a logically developed plot and likeable or at least fascinating characters. The only thing I really didn't enjoy was when Lando's droid started ranting about equal rights for droids, which was one of the things I despised about The Last Jedi. However, it wasn't terribly distracting and did in fact slightly advance the plot. I can't think of anything else I didn't like about it save that. It's definitely worth a look.… Expand
