Solo: A Star Wars Story
See how your favorite scoundrel smuggler from “A New Hope” came to be in this space western/heist film prequel. Two childhood friends, Han (Alden Ehrenreich) & Qi’ra (Emilia Clarke) are growing up on Corellia & doing whatever they must just to survive so they can escape their miserable planet. Han eventually teams up with smuggler/thief/mentor Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson) & Val (Thandie Newton) on a mission to steal fuel cells. Soon, Han finds himself in the middle of a struggle between crime lord Dryden Vos (Paul Bettanÿ) & some mysterious marauders, space pirates. This action packed fun film is filled with so many nods to the original storyline. See how Han meets Chewbacca & Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover). Learn how Han got his name. Witness the infamous Kessel run. See the Millennium Falcon looking brand spanking new. Of course, a humorous new droid is introduced to help cut the tension à la C3PO & K-2SO. Are you getting concerned because you have never seen the original trilogy? Don’t worry, just sit back & enjoy the thrill ride & humor. For those big Star Wars fans, this an idealistic young Han before that real galaxy far, far away reshaped him. Look for director Ron Howard’s traditional nepotism cameo placement of his younger brother Clint Howard.
Alien gives it 4 “good guy or outlaw” stars out of 4.
