That was really good? Like I was shocked at how much I enjoyed it? Do we know how much was Ron Howard and how much was Lord & Miller?
Fuck, I want a solo 2!
Anyways what did you guys think?
It's an ok film. But I really didn't like how Han's character is created in this small time frame. It's similar to the beginning of The Last Crusade where we learn where Indiana got his scar, his whip, his hat and his fear of snakes and all that in a SINGLE DAY.
So here they need to shoehorn how Han got his last name, how he got his blaster, how he met Chewie, how he won the Falcon and did the Kessel Run. It's too much. They should have just kept it simple.
But unlike the Indy example, all of that didn't happen over a day. It was gradually throughout and it's not like they covered everything. The blaster was hardly a thing.Not seen it but this is my biggest turn off.
The entire thing is based around over explaining a character that had allure largely in part of his mystery and the legend surrounding his exploits.
Seems like it will dilute the original films more than add to them.

I'm still annoyed that half of Era was going off on the clips of the movie that were posted containing some of the worst acting they'd ever seen. Dramatic over freaking nothing. Everyone was great.
You know goddamn well if they made a Solo movie without any of those things people would've complained.

The acting is the exact same in the clip as it is in the movie, which is something hardly anyone complained about after seeing it.Opinions, surely?
Maybe I'll agree with you when I see it, but still...
For everything it gave away about Han himself, this movie raised a ton more questions about other characters.I'm sad that we will probably never get to see Emilia Clarke's character was up to at the end of the movie...
Maybe in a comic.
I loved it aswell,in fact I've enjoyed Rogue and Solo more than the last two mainline films

Just saying, people were trying a little too hard to be mad about this before going in.
I get having doubts or being unsure, but go look up one of those threads after you see the movie and you'll see what I mean.
You....haven't seen it? Then why are you in this thread criticizing the film? I mean you criticized the plot of a movie you haven't seen? Uh what? You really have no basis on any of your points if you haven't seen the film.
The movie did a LOT better job of dropping subtle references that only some fans would catch. In their first game, Solo puts his non-existent VCX-100 in the pot. The VCX-100 has never been named in any of the other movies, but it's the same type of ship that serves as home base in Rebels: Hera's ship. Someone watching the movie doesn't miss anything by not catching the reference, but for those who DO catch it, it just makes a scene just that little bit more.I also really liked it, strong cast, good action, and simple story can go a long way. I also appreciate that it felt like the old school EU at times(the good kind of old school EU at least), I also liked pretty much every character which was a big plus.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
And this might be the only time that a geek property has whipped out an Easter Egg and I legitimately felt giddy.
Qi'ra being trained in Teras Kasi is wonderful but Lando dictating his prior adventures and talking about The Mindharp of Sharu is next level greatness.
Is that really a callback? It's just wardrobe... it's not like Glover's facial hair is a callback to Billy Dee's stache.
I have a big problem with Solo effectively founding the Rebel Alliance by handing over a whole fleet's worth of expensive coaxium for free. It destroys way too much canon.
That Solo OT is a pretty positive for the most part. And then people went back to making TLJ threads.This happens every time. A mediocre movie comes . Most dislike it. Months later someone posts he just saw it late and loves it. Gets positive feedback in the first page then everyone reminds the OP how much it sucked.
