A film about how an imperfect replica is desperately trying to get closer to the unrivalled original. I really didn't need to hear that Han Solo is based on the most run-of-the-mill cherchez le femme and a shabby heist. Unfortunately, Solo is a symptom of what SW could become if you continued this trend: a useless story generator and a silicone equivalent. It fills in the gaps, but it doesn't look particularly nice.

Everybody’s fusses about how this isn’t what the old Star Wars used to be, but actually it’s good. Only Abrams could afford to copy the original and to do this only once. But this entertaining and light-weight adventure makes use of a gap between the first and second trilogy in different way. Solo’s solo reminds of Firefly, but with a huge special effects budget. The cast is good and of course if they had given us a young Ford, it would be a lever higher, but you get used to it. A lot of great lines and even though the narration sometimes flounders (some strange twists due to reshoots), it still plays beautifully. And John Powell’s music is just the best! With Williams’ new theme for Han, he presents ferocious style which is just right for the series.

“I hate you." - “I know." Solo is a great pleasure especially for familiarized fans, but I think even a complete Star Wars layman can take some things from it. It is primarily a fun adventure film (in places there is MAYBE a little too much humor, but it never exceeds a healthy measure) with the excellent Alden Ehrenreich, who did great at an almost impossible task - he acts more or less his way, he borrowed only some of those gestures and smirks from Harrison Ford, not particularly imitating him, and yet, he is Solo. The direction by Ron Howard is fine, the story is not stupid and has a lot of surprises up its sleeve, including the return of one very familiar character (but with the character’s return, people might be saying: What? How? Why?), and John Powell literally did an amazing job. With the help of John Williams (he also added a new main theme) he composed a great soundtrack that I'll enjoy listening to just like Williams' Star Wars albums or Giacchino's Rogue One.

For someone who doesn’t like any of the episodes of Star Wars, I give this one a thumbs up. A surprisingly solid and brisk heist space flick, with Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, and an unknown Solo lookalike pulling it off. It's nicely entertaining, decently filmed, sufficiently suspenseful and action-packed, and the weird creatures are kept to a minimum compared to Star Wars, which just suits me. A nice surprise and finally can I say the best Star Wars movie?? ! 80%

Han Solo wants money, a ship, freedom and to save his girl. So he decides to take part in a heist that even the galaxy's greatest madmen wouldn't dare. Solo: A Star Wars Story is a brisk, entertaining, old-school adventure flick that is fun to watch, has likeable characters and good actors, and tries to show the world of Star Wars from the bottom up, from a place where there are no Jedi, Force or ambition to rule the universe, just a desire to make big bucks and have a good time. And it's a lot more fun than we'd expect after the creative problems.
