Review of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) by Nj06 — 26 May 2018

This sloppy, ham-fisted, clunky, plodding, confused attempt to whip something together about young(ish) Han Solo seems like the latest nail in the coffin of the intricate and genius universe that George Lucas created with his first six Star Wars movies.

After the ham-fisted fan-fiction B.S. of THE FORCE AWAKENS, a bit of integrity and hope for the Star Wars universe was briefly bought back by the ROGUE ONE. A further tad of encouragement was brought by the THE LAST JEDI (which was certainly a better and more thoughtful movie than THE FORCE AWAKENS) that made some small steps towards perhaps making this new iteration of the Star Wars franchise worth some time investment.

Alas, it seems that Disney can't consistently hire a set of writers and directors to come even close to the coherency and magnitude of Lucas' work, as was sadly evident by this mess of the SOLO movie.
