Solo - this movie is so much better than it had any right to be! I really enjoy it and honestly don’t have any major complaints. I mean, really, my biggest issue is the modern, punchier blaster sound effects Disney seems to love just don’t sound as Star Wars-y as they should.

I think they did an amazing job with casting Han, Lando, and Chewie! I totally believe these are the guys who grow into our beloved OT characters.

Enfys Nest is awesome. The costume design is great (her whole band of marauders have awesome costumes, love the Native American influences!) and the character is unique and interesting. And her fights, short as they are, are amazing. I love the “feather shields” on her forearms that deflect laser blasts, her staff is wickedly cool, and her fighting style is unique, fun to watch, and believably effective. I love how if you closely watch her fight Becket on the train, you can clearly see she’s intentionally not Using lethal force. She is super aggressive and charges him, pins his blaster down and cuts it in half, then uses the energy pulse side of her staff to knock him away. She could have easily killed him but very clearly chose not to. Just a cool little tidbit that’s easy to miss because it happens so fast.

I could go on about all the things I like in this movie, but to sum it up, this movie somehow overcame some seriously massive obstacles to be a pretty great Han Solo adventure. It’s a shame it “underperformed” because I’d love to see another stand alone adventure or two with these younger versions.
