Remind me again why am I a Star Wars fanatic? The iconic franchise has already made a mark with its original trilogy (A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, episodes 4-6 respectively) and prequel trilogy (episodes 1-3 include The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith). It’s just wonderful how the creators were able to craft interlocking stories even if they’re decades and generations apart as evidenced by the graphics and technology used in the films.
The sequels that followed after felt so strained with the
introduction of new characters and an apparently worn out plot. And now they
are releasing a “solo” character movie for that matter? Are the producers just
exploiting the solid fan base to rake in a chunk of profit? Do we really need
this narrative? Well, I guess it is safe to say that it may be important to
release one to make their presence felt.
To start, anyone who would portray Han Solo needs to step up his
game as Harrison Ford has owned the role so much. Alden Ehrenreich in one way
or another did justice in representing the young Han Solo in terms of charm,
swagger and wit.
Do not expect gigantic battle sequences such as the use of the
“force” or breathtaking lightsaber duels as the story only sets up the origin
of how Han Solo came to be, how he got acquainted with Chewbacca and how he
found the Millennium Falcon.
That being said, there are still a handful scenes that will keep
you amused, a few antics that will get you entertained and some characters that
will make you wonder. These are very well incorporated in a rather simple plot
with a totally remarkable musical score for a truly enjoyable movie encounter. It's a 9 for me
