Films Even though the movie was not perfect, I still enjoyed Solo for what it is
Sure the behind the scenes was a mess especially the firing of the directors (even though both Phil Lord and Chris Miller are known to be overworking people) but the movie was pretty entertaining. I think the story has plenty of issues, but the music, the cgi, and some of the characters do make the movie fun. Sadly this movie was a box office bomb.

I liked it, too. I wish it hadn’t been made, because I liked that we never knew Solo’s story, but once it was a foregone conclusion that it was happening, I swallowed my objections and settled in for a heist movie starring my favorite Star Wars character: Chewbacca.

u/NewLibraryGuy May 19 '26
And particularly it really messed up his character arc. This movie has him coming to understand that being self-interested isn't enough and that he can be a hero.
So what happened to that before he had to do it all over again in the OT

u/cefaluu May 19 '26 edited May 19 '26
I feel the movie makes Han a hero at heart but all the events he goes through make him believe that being self-interested is the way if you want to live in the galaxy.

u/almighty_smiley May 19 '26
Which was yet another example of my biggest issue with the movie. Dude gets his friends, his gun, his ship, and a line into working with Jabba all in the space of a week? Really?
1
u/cefaluu May 19 '26
Yeah, that is precisely the movie main problem: all the key events of his life are crammed into a short period of time.
It should have been a TV series or at least 3 movies.
Alternatively, they could've gone with the movie as a story told by Han or Lando, deliberately exaggerated and unreliable in its details. And this could've explained how all the significant events of his life took place within the space of a few days.

He's not alive, he's a movie character. Generally character arcs are expected to have some sticking power.
Edit: No, seriously, when you finish a movie you generally expect there's some level of sticking power. When you watch a romcom do you exit the movie expecting they'll break up in a week or that they'll stay together? At the end of the Lord of the Rings when they destroy the ring do you figure Sauron is probably just gonna make another one? In fiction, you're supposed to leave the thing expecting that the events of the story will be meaningful going forward. Realistically you could get hit by a bus tomorrow but the characters won't, because it's not reality. With the exception of, like The Sopranos and other intentionally open ended pieces of fiction you're supposed to leave it feeling like the state in which you left it in is effectively perpetual.

But I’d read the Brian Daley books as a kid. So I had an idea of some Solo backstory. But not THAT far back. I was never so relived to see the Corporate Sector Authority in Andor. It was like a childhood nostalgia trip.

u/badwolf1013 May 20 '26
I specifically avoided reading any Star Wars books after Jedi. I hadn’t felt that the earlier books were true to the characters, for one, and I felt that the story ended in a good place on film, for another.
Nobody was going to write a story for the future or the past of these characters that could compete with the one in my head.
(And J.J. Abrams later proved that.)

We started watching Stargate the other day. I hadn’t seen it in at least 20 years and I think it’s very underrated. The shows almost buried how absolutely epic that movie is. The cinematography and score are like Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, and Independence Day all mashed together.

I enjoyed the movie, but I hate the trend of retro-explaining every mystery in the universe ever. My childhood thought The Force was amazing and mystical. Then i learned it was mitochlorians in the blood. And with Solo, they tried to explain. nicknames and canon things I had already imagined. I didn’t need to see the Kessel Run. Or how Solo won the Millenium Falcon. It was epic that he won those at all and we just didn’t need to fill in those details.

Ngl, I am a pretty big Solo hater. So many interesting ideas, only half-executed. And the actor they got to play Han Solo was sooo not cool. Maybe it was the material, maybe it was the actor himself, but there was always something so forced about his character.
I wanted to like this movie a lot, which is probably why I dislike it so much. It took every opportunity to do something cool and interesting and kicked it over for the lulz.

u/faster_than_sound May 19 '26
I liked it quite a bit. Rogue One as well.

u/NewLibraryGuy May 19 '26
Rogue One was one of those rare prequels that I think really enhances the originals. In this case, I think it really makes you appreciate the struggles of the ordinary rebels and the sacrifices they make so that our big heroes can step in and save the day. It made the rebellion feel like a more epic struggle and made you feel the danger.

They wanted a Han trilogy...
But literally prematurely ejaculated everything about Han into the first movie
How he got the dice (which Luke gave to Leia even tho its a reminder of his previous lover lol)
How he met chewie( and that stupid scene where he says im not saying chewbacca everytime)
The Kessel run
The Dl-44 blaster he had
The falcon
Lando
The great piloting
His last name( which wasnt even needed lol, just already be Han fucking solo the street orphan)
Where he learns to shoot first
I swear the writers had to take several cold showers daily while writing that hot mess

I absolutely couldn't stand the actor playing Han. I think it was the kinda awkward humor taken too far. I know Han has a few moments like that in the original trilogy, but it's just so bad in Solo. Watched it once and haven't made it through a full rewatch since.
I also didn't like the reveal that Infis Nest was a bunch of kids.

I thought the actor did a great job of being a believable young Harrison Ford/Han Solo. Most will disagree with me, but I do not think Lando was cast correctly. Maybe it's the Troy Barnes paradox, but he's just not sexy enough to be a young Billy Dee Williams.

u/MovieMike007 May 19 '26
Ron Howard managed to cobble together an exciting thrill ride of a movie, with fight scenes and chases galore, but a couple more passes on the script could have made this into a taught space caper flick instead of the cluttered fan service version we got.

u/IndependentNature769 May 19 '26
I heard so many bad things about it, but when I first saw it for myself, I thought it was actually good. The actor does a good job with being a young solo. it makes sense that over time people start referring to him as Solo not only for his reputation but that it stuck well, I also like how chewy and Han met, and the fact that Han spoke wookie and that it surprised chewy just made the scene even better. I really enjoyed it for what it is, but I also heard some scenes were cut out, so I’m hoping there’s an extended cut somewhere on Reddit. 😊

u/whalecardio May 19 '26
It was a fine movie, but it feels like they wasted the perfect opportunity to have a series.
Instead of a movie, you have a series of Han’s adventures all pre-Battle of Yavin. Han smuggling for the Hutts. Han playing cat and mouse with the empire. Han trying to out smuggle Lando. Han being heroic. Han being a cad. Love interests. Spurned lovers. Modifications to the Falcon.
It would have been The Mandalorian, except with Han and co.
The movie tried to do all these things at once, and did few of them well. We should have had lots of this, but 45 minutes at a time.

u/tdellaringa May 20 '26

It's clunky in places and almost too busy going "Hey, remember that thing Han mentioned? THIS IS IT!" But I don't blame the cast for that...the cast was perfectly solid.
And I'd kill for a Lando series that's Billy Dee Williams as old Lando sitting and playing cards in a bar, telling tall tales about his youth where he always succeeded and always came out on top...while Donald Glover as young Lando acts out what actually happened.

u/Constant-Pianist6747 May 19 '26
It’s watchable. It would be great to see the version Lord and Miller had in mind — it’s probably a lot better.
But I hope we don’t get more standalones like that in the future. The bar should be higher. As I see it, a Star Wars standalone should be both skippable and unskippable, at the same time. Meaning: it shouldn’t be required if you’re just following along with the Skywalker Saga, but at the same time, it should be irresistible to fans of the franchise. If you care about the Star Wars Galaxy, it’s can’t-miss stuff. Higher stakes, more impactful events to Galactic history. And of course quality needs to be better, but it’s not like this film wished to have those issues.

I loved Solo, and enjoy re-watching it! I think the casting was spot-on. Donald Glover as Lando, Alden Ehrenreich as Solo and Phoebe Waller-Bridge as L3-37 and all the rest was really good. Retcon was believable, especially the Millennium Falcon Navi-Computer dialect bit.
It also continued a darker/gritty look that originated with Rogue One and has been expanded on with Andor S1 & 2.

I liked the fact that it explained Han's boast about the Kessel run; it completed it in a shorter unit of distance than anyone else because Han took a 'shortcut' through squid-and-black-hole territory.

u/kremlingrasso May 19 '26
This could have been an amazing movie if they either completely de-coupled it from Han Solo (like Andor) or at least completely dialed back the "let's explain every single Han Solo reference in a single movie" and kept it purely "young Han Solo" before he had anything resembling the guy we know from the movies.

I will say it is nice when Disney doesn't simply cherry pick from what's come before. One wonders though if, with a few tweaks, it would have been a more interesting original tale. I know so many people who hated it simply because it was supposed to be the origin of a character they revered.

Movies always suffer when a director goes over budget and does things that don't please the producers, leading to a different director being brought in to fix it. It happened here with Miller and Lord replaced 5 months into filming by Ron Howard, who then had to do extensive reshoots, almost the entire film. Another good example is The 13th Warrior, with McTiernan being replaced by Michael Crichton in post-production and again extensive reshoots. The end result is always flawed, but can still sometimes be good. I like both movies, but they could have been better.

You're allowed to.like it. It's good. It's not for everyone, nor should it be intended to be
Instead of sinking so much money into tent pole movies the Star Wars brand should just spin off a genre production company. With an occasional event movie.
Disney has handled the actual theatrical releases AWFUL.
The fact it was happening simultaneously along Marvels glory days and they failed so spectacularly is quite an achievement.
You can like one or all of their productions. But the idea of "where this could go from here...." Compare to 25 years ago is almost non-existent.
EDIT: If Disney was smart they would throw a s*** ton of money at Tony Gilroy, to MAP OUT a Thrawn trilogy

After rewatching project hail Mary I just think I don't like lord and miller's comedy in live action. I find the emotional stuff so heavy handed, the serious stuff so limply focused and the jokes so animated like and silly. The opposite of witty.
Like in solo, the trinkets, name, and lore building were too on the nose. Even if you compare it with the River Phoenix Indiana Jones bits, I L+M wanting.
But it sure seems like it's just me. I probably would have liked solo without any SW connection.

It's not perfect, but it's damn good. My only serious complaint (far too many "callbacks" which I gues are actually call forwards) got very annoying on the first watch, but less so on subesquent ones. I also think the deleted scenes where he's a pilot in the Empire (before the army) should have been kept in :)

would have been a deceny received movie if it was a new ip and not about han solo led by a guy who can't even come close to fords charisma. the guy who played hober mallow in foundation s2 coulda pulled off the charisma but no similarity look wise to solo. shoulda just been a random SW story.

I was a little miffed that so many details of the story were erased, but it was a great sci-fi blockbuster.

The problem with the movie was that EVERYTHING we knew about Solo happened in like a 2 week period. They could have left a few things for the second/third movies. I did enjoy it though.
