Upstairs watching sports on the big TV.
I was a big fan of the original series.

The second trilogy IMHO was taxing, but I got thru it.

The recent offerings have been a pure unadulterated
money grab.....un-relatable characters, poor story lines, worthy of a dollar rental on a ice, snowy weekday January in Minnesota or even Canada...



SOLO....could not resist it, fingers crossed, YOWZA
Short version, no spoilers....GO see it...

Starts his story as a "Scumrat" on a dank planet, surviving with his wits.

Hans (he has no surname) just Hans.....steals a speeder, grabs his girl friend (played by G.O.T. dragon queen) and they are chased to the outland border.

Hans already a self proclaimed great pilot, plans to bribe their way out of bondage.

Things don't work out....

He joins the Federation Army....he gets a last name.

He decides the Army life totally sux.

He meets a wookie in a remarkable way...they buddy up.



They join up with a band of outlaws off into the galaxy they go.....

They need a REALLY fast ship for a mission....

That should get your blood flowing if you are a fan of the original series.....the story of Hans.....


I gave it 4 outta 5 stars...true, another money grab, but a real thrill ride, and puts Star Wars history in order.

I loved it. 4.5 outta 5. Last three I?ve fallen asleep and have no desire to see them again.
Nothing ground breaking here; the story has been told plenty of times before but still enjoyed the hell out of it.
Thought woody Harrelson was great and the other actors were solid as well.
My son and I saw Solo and my daughter wants to see it so I?ll see it again soon.
