Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

Director: Ron Howard. Cast: Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, Thandie Newton, Joonas Suotamo, Paul Bettany, Jon Favreau, Erin Kellyman, Linda Hunt. 135 min. Rated PG-13. Action/Fantasy.

A month ago, I predicted on Facebook that Solo will consist of how Han met Chewie (check), how he flew the Kessel run (check), how Lando lost the Falcon to Han (check), how their separation was sub-optimal (check). So in a middle-finger gesture at my prophetic skills, Disney/Ron Howard also hint at Solo’s Jabba the Hutt employment, and put the “Han shot first” question to rest. And since a post-credits scene is somewhat shameful in the Marvel era, they suddenly bring a long-dead character to life ... pre-credits. So unexpected! The sole creative element here, is a feminist droid. Yep.
