Review of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) by Callum H — 01 Jun 2018
This will be an unpopular opinion but... for me, this is the best Star Wars movie since Empire!
It does so much right, it helps correct so many Lucas era mistakes in the franchise all the while giving us an exciting, classic adventure story in the grand universe that is Star Wars. It takes us to new planets, introduces us to new aliens and new back stories while leaving the Skywalkers well away from the action.
Casting in this film is great, Han, Lando and Chewie all feel genuine and new characters played by Woody Harrelson and Paul Bettany have stellar turns.
This film is not perfect, it drags at times and this film is not a required viewing for continuity sake. But it is a Star Wars film that takes risks and shows a more expansive take on the universe.
