Review of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) by Dylan N — 31 May 2018

Whatever it is, it is NOT the disaster so many worried about due to behind the scenes chaos. For me to 'review' Star Wars movies is like Cookie Monster reviewing cookies. Look - I got to see Mimban & Kessel on the screen. I heard Lando talk about the Sharu and the StarCave nebula. These are places and things I've read about & dreamed about since I was eleven, at least. The fact that the movie itself is a charming, thrilling heist film - more of a 'space western' than any of the others in the series - and features a winning, charismatic ensemble cast? That's just gravy.

As for 'disappointing' box office? There is NO franchise where that film's take is considered disappointing other than Star Wars. It's a hit, by ANY realistic measure.
