A pointless but harmless movie that does nothing to justify its existence. Alden Erenrich deserves praise however for not ruining the great character of Han Solo. This movie does not have any of the magic of the original trilogy.Mar 22, 2019

Go in with VERY low expectations and you might enjoy it. I, personally, did not. With a fresh cast and a lot of filler scenes, there is nothing refreshing or binding to the storyline. It felt like a prolonged SNL skit with a $100M production budget. Ultimately, I can't recommend this film to Star Wars lovers or movie buffs, even those that go out of their way to watch everything.Jan 22, 2019

While "a star wars story" is in the title of the film, this is NOT a star wars movie. I felt a little disappointed because it was missing the traditional Star Wars scrolling opening while being blasted by the music of John Williams (even though he DID compose the music alongside John Powell). There WAS an opening card sequence quickly detailing Han's back story up to that point. We were able to see who Han really is, how he obtained the millennium falcon, and how he became such close friends with Chewbacca the Wookie.  Donald Glover did an amazing job as young Lando Calrissian.  I absolutely love Woody Harrelson and I thoroughly enjoyed his performance in this film. There were some really great twists and turns throughout the story with a gasp-worthy revelation at the very end. As much as I love and respect Ron Howard, I really don't feel he was the right fit for a Star Wars film. This was more a Ron Howard movie than a Star Wars movie. That being said, overall, I really enjoyed this film and would recommend it to my friends whether they were already existing Star Wars fans or new to the franchise.Jan 22, 2019
