This movie was stitched together entirely from sentences from other Star Wars movies. Whoever they got to play Han Solo doesn't come close to being as memorable as Harrison Ford. I can't barely remember anything from it to be honest. Woody Harrelson turns in a good performance, and I was genuinely thrilled / relieved when Lando's annoying, stupid, loud-mouthed droid got killed. This and Last Jedi proves that Star Wars is a dead franchise. Rogue One was the singular success of the post-Lucas era because it stayed faithfully clear to Lucas' original vision, but every single step Kathleen Kennedy and Co. take away from that takes us straight over a cliff.Save your money, don't watch this.

Just to preface this that i have a life. Star wars isnt my whole child hood there were other movies too like ET, indiana jones and of course girls. So when people whine about it being a travisty or my favorite, i want nybchild hood back.....they didnt havr a life. So i understand their emotional dependancy on star wars. Sad to say the least.As to this film, it was a fun kick ass kids movie. Chewie was fun and had a far bigger part. Like all the Star Wars they are just fun. This one definitely had a style onto iys own. But thats Ron Howard. The only movie in the franchise that was bad was roug one but thats cause their two main characters were unlovable, couldnt wait for them to get killed off. One guy shoots people in the back and the other just a miserable character all around. But this film was fun.

So I am of the generation who got to experience Star Wars feom the beginning. Standing in a crazy ling line, literally wrapped around the local theater back in 1977 as a kid. Totally unaware I was about to see a movie that would become my central interest for all my childhood, early teens and once again as an adult. And all these years later, able to share this fandom with my own son.
I liked Solo. I wouldn't say it's my favorite but it was a fun ride and it evoked the feelings that I associate with Stat Wars. The world and characters felt right. It showed us some cool new things about life in that world, living under the Empire. The amazing cityscapes of Corellia... It felt similar to me to Rogue One. Modern filmmaking techniques yet convincingly evoking the vibes of the classic Star Wars world.
Anyway, I just wanted to put in some positive review for this movie to contrast this strange wave of hate feom "fans" on here. I don't really understand it. I have liked something about every Star Wars movie there has been. Some are better than others. There are weaker moments in every one to be sure. But none are worth the irrational seeming hate some people are putting out there.
Solo is good and worth your time if you like Star Wars. Just one fan's opinion.

The plot of the Last Jedi was that the rebels have run out of spaceship fuel.
Putting the dots together, it looks more and more like this movie was altered from the original purpose to prop up the Last Jedi because the plot here is also about spaceship fuel.
Now, when has spaceship fuel ever been an issue in Star Wars? The answer is never. Because it's a ludicrous idea to begin with in a movie universe where you can travel between planets in the blink of an eye.The hook of Star Wars is the Joseph Campbell daddy issue stuff.Without that, you just have another crap movie that people forget immediately. This was not done accidently. Therefore, there's an ulterior motive at hand with Disney altering the fundamental premise of Star Wars. The only thing we have to look forward to are even worse Star Wars movies coming down the road.
