H.Solo: ...well, saw it and I gotta firmly say (SPOILS)... that...


I liked it. More than a little.

Liked it better as it went along and it went from decent/okay to better and
even got almost kinda good in the end.

Liked how it did NOT refurbish/tribute as many Star Wars thingys.
Redux=the new played. Not tributary as intended.
Pandering at most/best.

Not in love with the Cheers bar guy is now (somehow) a SciFi
turnkey villain. LOL. He's a bungler. Likeable. Though that
a credible scoundrel sensei does not, make.

I mean, dig "coach" and/or Diane up.
They could almost, curse; as mean credibility goes.

Nevertheless, how is D.Maul alive?!?
I watched 2 episodes of the cartoon thingy where they found him in
a junkyard??? LOL, Maul Sanford.??!??

Is that even considered cannon???
...........................
Though I did like that Maul return, ultimately. His was a very undeveloped character.
And such leaves the door wide open to do whatever off of The Story movie.

Han was good enuff.
Not great. Though that's replacing Frank big big shoes to fill.
All the more so with Han getting killed off in the reboot/continuation thingy.
Though bro' did okay as the new Han. He got a few mannerisms and vocals near
enuff right to make it credible. And he was learning on the job. (the Lando card up
the sleeve switcheroo hustle to win the Mil.Falcon)

The Bill Dee Williams understudy was IT!
Bro' had it very smmmmooooth operator going on and goin' in.
Lando is such a freak he wanted to bed a fem'bot?!? LOL. Classic.

And that guy really nailed his character understudy. Great voice inflexions.
Same easy cool. Same meta-communications. A cape collection? Somewhere R.Flair is, smiling.

Tho' I gotta ask...........why is he (Lando) now rumored to be... what?
Bi'sexual? Gay? Where is that emerging from off of this flick?!?
Agenda much?
.........................
Liked the Han Story well enough overall.
Prolly did not hurt my expectations were in check; if not kinda low.

I'm good if they make the other 2-3 kiddie Han's after seeing this.
A solid B+ by me.

2 lightsabers up,
