1. Solo - A Star Wars Story
2. Attack of the Clones
3. Revenge of the Sith
4. Phantom Menace
Solo: A Star Wars Story had the unfortunate timing of being released six months after the dreaded Last Jedi. The fans were still very upset. I can find 100 YouTube reviews criticizing Last Jedi - the reviews being longer than the movie itself.
I thought Solo was fun. It injected fun back into the franchise. I liked Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo. You'll never be able to replace Harrison Ford, but I think he did a fantastic job. He had the swagger, even if it was only 90%.
What I Liked About the Movie
1. The train heist - good old fashioned fun
2. Woody Harrelson as Tobias Beckett
3. Sabaac - and all the aliens around the card games
4. Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian
5. Dryden Vos being a real gangster, and not just an evil member of the Empire
6. Enfys Nest and her gang - the girl who played her was bad ass as well
7. Solo shooting first
8. Emilia Clarke in her red cape
9. The showdown at Savareen
10. The end scene card game where Solo wins the Falcon
11. The Trailer with the very cool western style music. The music wasn't in the movie unfortunately.
12. Toys - Happy they released the Mission on Vandor four pack that wasn't filled with repacks.
13. Toys - Happy that final series with Tobias, Val, Durant, and L3 were released. Never saw it on store shelves. Had to order online.
14. Toys - the Target exclusive six pack was a nice army builder.
15. The Raiders of the Lost Ark Fertility Idol sitting on Dryden Vos' table.
What I didn't Like:
1. How Han and Chewie meet was a little hokie, especially Solo knowing the Wookie langauge
2. L3's droid liberation
3. Toys - the Millenium Falcon was dreadful. What an embarrassment. It was a real piece of junk.
4. Toys - could have used a lot more aliens.
5. The AT-DT was cool as hell but never saw it at stores.
I liked the Han Solo movie.
ReplyDeleteThink it got a lot of flack after Last Jedi but I think it put the fun back in Star Wars.
