    Yes, I'm watching it again.

    That guy does an incredible job of playing a young Han Solo. I was thinking about which Han Solo I prefer but he's exactly how I'd expect a younger Harrison Ford Han Solo to be.

    Lando and Beckett are brilliant too, and I really like L3.

    Can't wait to see Solo 2.

    Did you know this is the most expensive Star Wars movie so far? That's after adjusting for inflation, too. Possibly due to the reshoots when they switched directors? About 70% of the movie had to be reshot.

    Man, I've always tossed up Justice League's shitty CGI to the expensive reshoots (way more expensive than most reshoots, which aren't actually too pricey--and surprisingly, as allegedly only about 15-20% of the movie was reshot), but I recall Solo having fantastic presentation. Good investment in those practical sets, eh? Plus a cheaper and smaller main cast. And no one needed their facial hair digitally removed.

    Hey guise, I forgot to tell you I read the book. It's set just before the film and it's excellent! I'll add it when I get time. If you see it pick it up, it's worth a read if you're a star wars fan.

    Just watched it again. It's now my favourite Star wars film, I like it more than episode 3.

    I watched Solo again last night on my little phone screen and I've realised my original score of 10 was too high. I got carried away with all the hype and the big screen in cinema.

    It's just a 9.5 in reality.

    Can you BELIEVE we got another pure Star Wars movie? That's made my year.

      Editing … Hey, I thought that more people would love it, because Han Solo and Han shot first and s**t, but I'm not complaining. I'm sure Harrison Ford wouldn't mind. He's kind of sick of playing the same dudes all the time. Lol.

    I saw this yesterday. It was pretty great. The film had some beautiful shots, made wonderful use of its effects, and had wonderful music. The characters were pretty great too. That was a Star Wars movie.

      Editing … well, it turns out that the whole "standalone films are postponed" thing was a result of Collider misunderstanding that a Mos Eisley Cantina film wasn't greenlit, so we can keep expecting more

      Editing … Thinking about it, I don't care about Jedi at all, the Star Wars universe has more potential for films without them. A sith film would be cool, but Hollywood won't let evil win or be seen glorifying evil so that's a non starter.

    After Solo bombed due to The Last Jedi sucking so hard, Lucasfilm's decided to put all standalone Star Wars titles on hold, to focus their efforts on Rian Johnson's new trilogy.
    lmao okay that's not backwards at all

      Editing … It's not that people don't want Han Solo, it's that the particular story they told was an unnecessary one and everyone knew it. If they had made one taking place post-OT that might have gone over better.

      Editing … Tbh after the first two movies i doubt the hardcore fans wanted to see a Solo movie. Star Wars at this point is complete garbage. I don't give a fuck what happens in Disney Wars anymore.

      Editing … Yeah it basically comes down to "what can we do that people will recognize because that will generate us the most profit." I haven't even bothered to see "The Last Jedi", but both "The Force Awakens" & "Rouge One" have strongly given me the impression that Disney will do as little as possible with Star Wars because they will still generate a profit regardless. Honestly if Disney wasn't stupid and just hired some one like a Ron Howard to begin with this probably would of turned out to be profitable because "lol Star Wars"
