It was better than I anticipated, although my expectations were not very high. It was no where near as good as Rogue One but a much better film than The Last Jedi.
A couple thoughts/notes without spoilers:
- It was billed as a "space western" and definitely lived up to that. It didn't feel like a traditional Star Wars film (as Rogue One did) but it was unique and interesting
- I thought the actor who played a young Han did a great job and carried the film and role well, despite all the huff about him needing "acting lessons"
- There were a couple things about the plot I didn't care for but they steered clear of the absurdly corny jokes/cheesy humor that were all too common in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi
- Lando was not potrayed as a bisexual or "pansexual" (whatever the hell that is), that was just a rumor
I’m looking forward to seeing Solo. The initial trailers didn’t “feel” like SW which can be a good thing and seems like it was a fairly accurate observation. I’ll probably see it at some point next week.
Did the guys behind you throw popcorn at you the whole time?
Disappointed maybe, but angry?!
I was infuriated when I walked out of The Last Jedi. A dumpster-fire of a film. I thought it basically ruined the franchise it was so bad. Most real fans felt this way.
One of the writers recently claimed is that Lando is pansxual Â
I cant stand when people say stuff like that. So we’re not real fans cause we enjoyed Last Jedi? Star wars fans are the best! I dont think it was great but i dont think its as awful as fanboys are whining about. I thought it was good. Lower than 4-7 and rogue one but alot better than 1-3. Guess im just a casual not real fan
RE: One of the writers recently claimed is that Lando is pansxual Â
seems like pandering to me, but Lando has always been an "I'll try anything once" sort of dude. Like living in a perpetual 70's.
Yeah, but some people immediately took that to mean men. I'm guessing the ones with obsessions over the Midwest Gay Club Scene.
I read it and thought back to the old Eddie Murphy bit about Capt. Kirk, and how he'd sleep with green women. Here, I'm thinking there's no alien strange that Lando won't buddy up to.
but the things that were good were really good (the ship crash, the Rey/Ren fight, Luke taking the blasters). The acting was also very good which has been a constant so far for the reboots.

where people feel the need to love or hate something with very little middle ground and will shove it down your throat. Movies, sports, anything. I can’t really comprehend hating TLJ so much that it made you angry, but to each their own.
viewings. Like Luke telling Rey "What did you think? I was just going to go down and face down the first empire with a laser sword?"
And then, that's exactly what he does (well, in Force projection).
And then when Kylo and Rey are communicating about force projecting, he says that Rey couldn't fully force project herself there because it would kill her. Setting up why it did kill Luke to do what he did.
This is one of my favorite visuals in the whole saga: Â
When the actor playing a star wars main character makes the rounds talking about pansexuality of his character that is a hard stop.
Why is there a discussion about the liberal sexual preferences of a star wars character at all? It's so bizarre. Blow shit up save the world from the bad guys and move on.
and thought it was very well done. It did not have the feel of a Star Wars movie, felt like a sci-fi heist/western. I thought the actors portrayed Han and Lando really well, and while I feel the story was a little convoluted at times, ultimately it made sense. I wouldn't say this is one of the best Star Wars movies, but I did enjoy it, and am actually going again on Sunday with my son. Overall, a lot of very good action, some cool new characters, definitely worth going to see.

Sounds like you are taking this way too literally. Are you otherwise familiar with Glover? He created a hit show on FX and it’s foundation is dark satire. His responses in that interview seem pretty tongue and cheek to me.
Well, you heard wrong. That's not in the movie.

When I heard they make it a point to make Lando a "pansexual", which is really a new age way to say bisexual I knew it was doomed to failure. Smh.

maybe it's a deleted scene.

The dreaded Alderaan Pan-Sexual Club Scene.
Will it make money?
Most definitely yes.
Does Lando being pansexual (possible being attracted to aliens, humans, or anything) have anything to do with the story or quality of the movie? Nope.
That was just in your dreams, sorry to disappoint you
it's in the midwest portion of the galaxy.
The Cantina, of course

The first 15 minutes or so are not that good, but after that you can see the production and quality go way up.
I wonder if that's where Ron Howard took over, from the original directors. I heard he reshot about 80% of the movie.
There were some very good action scenes, and very good photography, that I liked.
Also the humor in this movie is done well, its not ill timed or corny like the Last Jedi.
There are some very cool new characters in this, and there is a cameo appearance of a star wars character that you will not see coming.
When I came out of the theatre after watching the Last Jedi, I was angry, in fact upset.
This movie when I walked out of it I was happy.
They definitely have a sequel set up if it does well enough.

Without spoilers - I have to say he was impressive as Han.
That cameo appearance confused the hell out of me, until my friend who saw the movie with me explained how it made sense based on the Rebels cartoon.
I don't watch the cartoons, so I hope future movies don't draw on them too much.

The end-of-movie cameo will not come as a surprise to people who have watched the tv series “Clone Wars” and “Rebels”.
I, too, thought Solo was well done. I recommend it to those that enjoy the Star Wars stories.

I guess I’m not a real fan.
But everybody wanted them to take some chances, and Rian Johnson did.

It was about "flirting" with Han Solo
Bwahahaha!!!
I think you're right about that.
I'm a fan of Phoebe Wallers-Bridge, but I thought her droid character sucked. K2SO from Rogue One was a way better character.

Any reason this wouldn't be suitable for a 7 year old, to those that have seen it?
He saw the Force Awakens and TLJ in the theater, any reason he couldn't handle this?

Nothing notably different than other Star Wars films. Same degree of violence.
There's actually a "dammit" and a "what the hell," though. Pretty unique for Star Wars. Haha.

The better question is, why do you care?

I'm taking my near 7 year old Sunday, and I have no qualms about it. Of course there is some violence, but nothing overly menacing or over the top.

Without spoiling anything Lando does say the word "adorable".
I won't say who he says it to, but that's as far as they take it in this movie.
There was one scene in particular which made me laugh, actually gave me a good laugh, has to do with Han and Tobias, that scene was well done.
