Ironically, this is not the movie that I was looking for. However this movie was a lot more coherent and flowed better than all the backstage drama would indicate. I was entertained, never bored. Full disclosure though, I saw Solo in MX4D format so maybe my enjoyment level was enhanced by the tech.

Not that I need another Solo movie (I am kind of 50-50 on a continuation of a Solo Saga), but with the way this movie ends I assume that Han's grumpy pessimism and skill set occurs (aka arc) in the years between the end of this film and the beginning of Star Wars Episode 4 - A New Hope. I am not into the animated series nor the books, so I do not know those details of  Solo's personality evolution. However I would rate this movie more as a B or at worst B-.


Comment posted onto Jeremy Jahns video discussion of Solo and Disney published 05/30/18 on You Tube:

Disney is primarily a business, no matter how many appearances of castles, fireworks and magic sprinkles that explode in the  opening credits of their eponymous movies and subsidiaries. A business produces products to be sold to customers. Sometimes ART can get lost in a financial forest. All that being said, there was no massive clamoring for a Han Solo movie which probably should have been released in December anyway. Full disclosure; I saw this film in MX4D (a little pricey but worth it) format and had a great time.  I enjoyed this movie...as a movie. I do not wish to debate its existence to either being a deviation or clone (yes I went there) regarding the holy writ of CANON. Jeremy Jahns said it best, "It is just a movie."
