Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)


IMDb plot summary: During an adventure into the criminal underworld, Han Solo meets his future copilot Chewbacca and encounters Lando Calrissian years before joining the Rebellion.
Directed by Ron Howard. Starring Alden Ehrenreich, Joonas Suotamo, Woody Harrelson, and Emilia Clarke.

This is a fine movie, but it adds absolutely nothing to the story or character of Han Solo. Like all prequels, it's utterly meaningless. On top of that, it's got pretty cheesy dialogue even for a Star Wars movie. It's not a bad movie, just a pointless one.

2.5 stars.
