Review of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) by Jay M — 07 Jan 2019
Gotta say I'm a fan, judge whether I'm toxic or not however you want. Star Wars Solo felt like a Star wars movie and looked like a Star Wars movie yet had so many little things that robbed it from being a better film.
Take the ultra feminist spoof on Kathleen Kennedy L3-37 droid as one example. The fembot is so annoying that you end up hatting it and you find yourself cheering when it meets it's fate only to be used as a plot point that infects latter Star Wars films.
Then you have Enfy's Nest who is a character that has yet to graduate from high school yet commands a group of super commando's. Then there is Darth Maul who was cut in half and fell down a shaft of skyscraper lengths.
If all this sounds silly or confused your right. It is all confusing and smacks of desperation to get out a message or deliver fan service. Worse was when my 10 year old asked me if Lando Calrissian and his droid were boyfriend and girlfriend.
What the heck were they thinking here.....ohhh...SJW service, ugh. If these 4 elements were removed from the movie it would have been a real Star Wars film yet because this was left in Star Wars Solo ends up being a OK film and nothing more.
Hats of to Ehrenreich for giving it his all I wished it turned out better for him to return but unfortunately this film was planned by Disney and the media to turn away fans and general (family) audiences.
