[@ABR-9819]

C'mon man, Han speaking Shyriiwook (Wookie's language) wasn't only funny but a plot device, he needed to speak it because the Troopers where right above them. By the way...Han is one of my favorite characters of all time and i was kinda afraid this movie wouldn't do justice to him BUT IT WAS AMAZING. Much respect for you guys at Jedi Council!

[@thecannonballz4647]

Was going to say the same myself.

[@lizzymayethebordercollie]

Thank you! I loved that part and thought it was the right humor for the movie.

[@Paulovlyra]

Oh yeah, what a movie

[@thebacons5943]

Ooooh good point

[@claire1965ify]

It was funny when Han was speaking Wookie precisely because it was so unexpected and silly.

[@CocktailLady748]

There are a lot of people who owe Alden an apology for all the crap they gave him before seeing his performance.

[@Castragroup]

yeah i never really loved the original characters until i saw this movie

[@willlee6095]

I’m fairly certain “Two Tubes” was there at the end of the movie, meaning that Enfys Nest’s group has tie-ins to Saw Guerrera’s partisans.

[@scruffylives9224]

Thank You for posting this. I thought I saw him and that was exactly what I thought too. I’m happy someone recognized this too.

[@TheBuckeyeAdvantage]

I saw him too!

[@MrSwitchblade327]

Will Lee agreed

[@thebacons5943]

Yes also Warwick Davis’ character is supposed to be the same in both I believe

[@jonathangomez9548]

Is it him? If not it was very similar person

[@drdre1006]

Can I just say how refreshing it is to be in a Star Wars comment section that feels so positive? The bridge between TLJ and this was so damn toxic that it made me almost ashamed to admit I am a Star Wars fan. Here’s hoping this positivity lasts! We may disagree with some things but at the end of the day, we all love this galaxy far, far away. This community needs to come together, not be torn apart. Find balance. With this, the Force will continue to live and thrive for a long time. Love you guys, I’m out! May the Force be with each and everyone of you, always... :)

[@z-voices263]

Young Dre this is beautiful! I’m with you on everything you said

[@SbstnAcha]

Agree! The positivity surprised me too (but if I were you, I would stand away from any youtube reviewer's comment section...)

[@nickwiley9647]

Positivity is only good when earned. Fake positivity over something the majority of the fan base dislikes would just make us a bunch of blind fans.

[@drdre1006]

Nick Wiley Agreed. And as stated, we may disagree on certain aspects or entirety of some parts of Star Wars but that shouldn’t divide us and cause us to take sides. We should be civil and discuss not mindlessly attack just because certain opinions don’t line with our own. As a whole, this is Star Wars. We live, love, and breath it. I’m just stating that I’m happy most of what I’m seeing is positive discussion and reactions to this film and more. I’ve missed that aspect of it all, hoping it continues!

[@drdre1006]

Sebastian Acha I never really check for comments as it is but just wanted to share my thoughts and kinda see where others stood as well, happy we seem to be more united/Civil than not. And with the people who didn’t really care for it it seems they’re open to discussions, Which is great! Of course, there is gonna be that group who continues to troll or talk down to others because hey, that’s cool or the norm these days but yeah, great seeing these civil discussions!

[@turkeydinnerchewie2499]

Maul is Vos’s boss. Mando armor in the background, sith holocron, and even the name “Crimson” Dawn.

[@Paulovlyra]

I think Han had to "talk in wookie" so Chewie would trust him

[@TheCBMM1]

Paulo Lyra Yep exactly.

[@Tom-bn6pr]

No shit. What is Harloff's problem, everything he hates is so stupid

[@Revan-eb1wb]

because it is fucking stupid when han soundly makes those fucking dumb noises. it comes across like a parody

[@chadfurlong2919]

The Chewbacca saving the Wookiees moment worked for me. I think it is far better than if they’d been his actual family. “I can’t tell if he said family or tribe.” “What’s the difference?” He felt a connection to them and he had no choice but to act. Chewbacca finally being shown doing something independent of Han Solo. If they’d been his literal family, though, I would never buy him leaving them to join Han.

[@shyjames83]

Chad Furlong I think it’s strongly implied that Chewie knew the Wookiees, but I don’t think they were actually family

[@ginobenatti7830]

Thought the main other Wookie looked like a crack head Wookie.

[@pjny21]

I have no idea what Harloff watched.

[@SoulStylistJukeBox]

LoL

[@MultiLililililili]

He's a hack

[@__zackm]

It wasn't two good guy factions fighting each other. Beckett's crew are not good guys.

[@BATBOMB82]

zackm03241988 Thank you! Idk what he's talking about. We all know they're scum. In the Star Wars universe's eyes, they're bad guys.

[@serbancapraru8559]

True

[@GeneFerrell]

I thought that ending Beckett twist worked because Beckett’s turning on Han was so predictable. It was so predictable that Han even saw it coming, and used it to his advantage to turn the tables on him. I thought that was smartly written to even play off the fact it was suppose to be so predictable so that everyone from the audience to the main character expected it, and then they twist it where Han even comments he seen it coming, and used it against him in his plan.

[@xRisK_Flash]

Yes! This is the first comment I see talking about this. Beckett turning on them was the predictable "plot twist". But Han knowing he would do that and plan for it was the actual "plot twist", imo at least.

[@ThatJunkman]

"They didn't tell anything about Han's family, where he is from, his past" -2018 "They are making a Solo movie? I don't want to know the backstory and history of Han" -2017

[@ZachBobBob]

Spot on

[@timothynichols6880]

Right, they contradict themselves all the time

[@maismz]

How is that not compatible ? He didn't want them to make this movie in the first place but if they're gonna make it he wanted them to tell about his backstory ? It's like saying that you don't want to eat ice cream but if you're forced to have some you want it to be strawberry

[@wsjacksonjr]

How do I get a job as a star wars shill for disney? Do you get dental benefits?

[@maismz]

Mr Jackson count me in, i can cook, that's all i have to offer besides my very nice impression of "it's a fun summer movie that get even better when you watch it a 2nd time"

[@bengorniak2721]

The Maul reveal (Bodied by Ray Park and voiced by Sam Witwer) was BRILLIANT!!! That was a heavily nerd moment. Very good decision.

[@Hallucination]

it fucking sucked. Forced beyond belief and totally unnecessary.

[@thetruthwillsetyoufree80]

I didn't realize Maul was alive...Till I learned that he somehow survived after he got cut in two after episode 1 on the animated t.v. show. Makes me wander if Snoke is still alive?

[@MrCrapheadist]

Hallucination It Wasn’t forced if you have followed Canon

[@Tyler_W]

Hallucination it was a surprise out of left field that it was Maul but it makes complete sense in the context of the wider canon and the story at hand. We spent the whole movie wondering what Kira's allegiances were. If you followed wider canon beyond the films, you'd also know Maul is alive and as previously established in The Clone Wars, he developed extensive ties to the criminal underworld and even sought to take over parts of the galaxy through influence with and control of the criminal underworld. It was a completely unexpected surprise, but it's not out of nowhere.

[@oddballskull1941]

Seriously it was one of the dumbest moments ever, tell me then, where the fuck has he been this whole god damn time

[@KenMcDowell]

I loved this movie. It was definitely more entertaining than I had any expectations for. When Darth Maul was revealed in the finale I nearly leapt from my seat. I was blown away by how much I enjoyed this movie and still haven't come down from my Star Wars high. Really hope to see some sort of sequel to this movie or something with the continuation of Qi'ra and Darth Maul's story.

[@KenMcDowell]

Johnny Irenchi I really hope so. I love that character way more than most.

[@midnight-2021]

I'm hoping that Qi'ra and Han turn out to be Rey's parents. This beats the Reylo theory. Remember from the Force Awakens that Han and Leia haven't seen each other for a long time and during this time he meets his 1st love and has an affair with her and Rey is a result of this affair. But Qi'ra never tells Han about Rey. Just a theory but this would be cool and very real world since affairs are common in real life. This actually would make sense with the Solo movie hinting that Qi'ra has force potential which would explain where Rey gets her force abilities.

[@SbstnAcha]

36:00 Correct me if I'm wrong but the Beckett betrayal didn't fool Han. It was predictable, but it did not work against the movie and it wasn't lazy writting IMO. In fact, Han explained that he knew Becket could betray him the moment he said «don't trust anybody» and that MADE HIM PREDICTABLE. So his plan worked thanks to that obvious betrayal. He knew it was coming and Han even counted on that happening!

[@Cobralalalala]

Agreed! Han pointed out that Beckett also told them people are predictable. I liked how it was played.

[@SbstnAcha]

Calcifer Boheme oh yeah! Thank you, I forgot about that!

[@xRisK_Flash]

Yeah Kristian managed to miss just about everything. I'm expecting ZERO out of him nowadays

[@camdonking1919]

The point was that it was too obvious for him to say it in the first place, thus tipping the audience off ahead of time. Han didnt need him to say "not to trust him" then because of his experience with Beckett and the talks they had previously in the movie. Its basically saying the audience might be too dumb to read the tea leaves so lets remind them

[@erickcleveland2597]

I'm really confused at to what Kristian wants from a Star Wars movie. Seems to me he just keeps comparing everything to the OT. Guess what? You're going to be disappointed every single time. There's a reason the OT is so special. Because it was a once in a lifetime phenomenon. It is incredibly difficult to repeat that. And most of us saw the OT as kids so it's impossible for a new Star Wars movie to hit us the same as adults than when we were kids. That's why the OT is so special, because of how it made you feel when you were a kid. Just my thoughts!

[@xRisK_Flash]

I think that not even Kristian himself knows what he wants

[@Revan-eb1wb]

well he wants a good star was movie. not really much to ask for right? if you are okay with mediocre or bad movies than its your thing but let him be

[@rudypt9126]

I agree. He's never happy. This was a good movie. My wife, who is not a star wars fan, found out it entertaining. I, a Star Wars fan from the old trilogy, found the story well done, better than The Last Jedi.

[@g-roy23]

All the talk about once in a life time phenomena and being a kid at the time isn’t the same as a film simply being good You guys making it out as though he didn’t like the film, he did like, however it’s by no means without it’s negatives.

[@g-roy23]

Rudy Rudeman Most casuals with no prior investment usually do get sucked into these big flashy films and will just say “yeah it was good”.

[@barkasz6066]

I think there is more to Corellia. Han lived in the slums, but other parts of the planet might be more similar to Alderaan or Corsucant. And ah man that Maul appearance. I thought it was some random gangster at first, then I thought "Wait... I know that voice.." and right before they showed his face I thought "Oh shit it's Maul!!!"

[@mr559]

András Agócs The robotic legs gave it away before the face reveal.

[@johnbrastock]

This on both points

[@jhettgreene8994]

I had the exact same reaction to Maul: "Wait, who's this... Wait... WHAT!?!?"

[@Vader47000]

I don’t see how anyone can conclude Beckett’s team are “good guys.” Enfys Nest knows they’re working for Crimson Dawn and she says the crime syndicates are worse than the Empire in terms of their cruelty. There’s no way she’d want Beckett to get the fuel. She only reveals herself at the end because she thinks a showdown there is pointless.

[@ABR-9819]

Enfys Nest wasn't bad writing at all. Guys one thing that we get confused is us sympathizing with the Crew doesn't make them good guys, they are outlaws. They were stealing from "The Bad guys" (Empire) that doesn't mean that these ruthless protectors of slaves and the innocent were not gonna shoot at them.

[@RichardUlrichActor]

Agreed. The ongoing theme is kind of that Han is a "good guy" in a very grey world and it just adds to that.

[@jdolan74]

I think they're missing the point that Woody's crew was NOT the good guys. They are the bad guys. That's the point that Han and Chewie aren't actually good guys either. They are smugglers. Han was a bad guy until he came back to save Luke.

[@Haloinheritor117]

Yeah. They were working for the crimson dawn, there was no agreement that was going to be made. Plus Beckett didn't care about the rebel cause so he wouldn't have given over the fuel anyways. Why do you think Beckett took the fuel at the end instead of dropping Voss and being buddy with Han again

[@Sam_T2000]

I get your point. at first I was disappointed when she took off her helmet and she was a teenage girl... but the more I think about, the more I like it. I just wish they had built up this storyline more. Enfys had like 2 minutes of screen time up to that point.

[@Tom-bn6pr]

Harloff sounds like he's looking for flaws. They literally opened fire on Nest as soon as her gang showed up, at what point was there time in the train heist to talk it over

[@noumenon3020]

Solo was awesome! I was honestly baffled by most of Harloff’s criticisms. Han had to speak Wookie to Chewie so they didn’t tip off the guards, Qi’Ra totally ripped Han’s heart out at the end, and Val detonated herself while pinned by Imperial Viper Droids. Also, the look of Corellia was amazing IMO. It almost seems like he didn’t watch the movie or has too much dad fatigue. Much more on team Ken on this one!!

[@reapfield8687]

Yeah, was surprised to see that most of his criticisms were either incoherent, excessively nitpicky or based on his own misguided expectations.

[@noumenon3020]

Yeah it was strange. So many of his points were totally off. I'd consider myself a lifelong fan but not necessarily hardcore, and even I knew Favreau's character was named "Rio"...you know, because they freakin say it in the movie, like several times. Either Kristian is purposefully trying to come off like a non-"shill", he's very fatigued or he's the only professional SW commentator to be canon that also somehow doesn't really care or pay attention that much anymore. He was seriously, oddly off his game here.

[@TheLoreSeeker]

Thats cause guys like Ken and his team are all about looking for the good in the stories... rather than focusing solely on the negative. Kristian.... has been slipping to the darkness since the Last Jedi reactions.

[@noumenon3020]

TheLoreSeeker indeed. Life is too short for that IMO. I lost half of my family in an accident a few years ago. It brought a lot into perspective. I’m just glad to have any new Star Wars to watch. We only get so much time on Earth to enjoy and be grateful for before it’s gone.

[@JeremyHartson2000]

The look of Corellia blended great with the circumstance of the time... Empire occupation.

[@roshieifra]

Han wasn't sure chewie understood English in the cage. Chewie was too busy attacking to listen, so Han had to get his attention. That's how I took the Han speaking wookie thing. Didn't bother me.

[@shyjames83]

Jennifer Ramos Totally agree. And Chewie didn’t seem to care that Han spoke “basic”...Han talking in Wookiee was a last ditch effort by Han to get Chewie’s attention and it worked, Chewie was like “woah wait a minute, this guy speaks MY language? Who IS this guy?”

[@alecnorwood1693]

Also maybe he didn’t want the troopers to know what he was saying too

[@g.g.b.3185]

Only have one thing to say: Alden was amazing.

[@straightedgeveganbel2453]

G. G. B. I could not agree more. He was the absolute star of this movie.

[@niallh4194]

Easily the best part of the movie

[@allybraun4842]

did you actually watch solo?

[@TCReyes]

I thought the movie was average, but he was the best part and shouldn’t be faulted.

[@HurricaneDDragon]

G. G. B. He was alright.

[@ericcsmith72]

Chewie has more to do in this movie than in all of his previous outings combined. It’s an awesome sight! On that note, the movie is great. A proper Star Wars movie. Disney’s best one to date. With elements of Temple of Doom and Beyond Thunderdome, Kasdan and Howard made a movie right out of 1985. It will appeal to older fans and younger fans alike. Oh, and the kid is Han Solo.

[@mintcoffee6030]

I agree except this is way better than Temple of Doom. T of Doom is reallly, really bad

[@JB-1138]

Eric C Smith Great movie.

[@BushidoBrownSama]

I disagree with what Harlof here; it made sense for Enfys Nest to attack the Hijackers (who are not good guys) there was no time to have a long discussion & debate while on the heist job and there is no reason for those hijackers to believe the cloud riders aren't just marauders even if the hijackers believed enfys nest would they care? in the 3rd act however the cloud riders had time and a huge numbers advantage to force the discussion if the hijacker crew refused to give up the hyperfuel they would have killed

[@nbuckley282]

BushidoBrownSama agree. Also the cloud riders saw red dawn as the enemy because they were hoarding resources along with the empire. Beckett’s crew was working for red dawn on that heist so they were the bad guys in their view. Later in the movie Nest starts to realize this. I like that they are exploring stories that aren’t so black and white. The only thing that was overlooked in the second meeting was that Beckett would have more of a personal struggle since Nest’s crew killed his woman. He would likely want revenge at that point.

[@BushidoBrownSama]

Neil Buckley net's crew killed beckett's pilot, his woman died cause she was pinned down by the turrets. In hindsight it was stupid for Enfys to let Beckett go but aw well

[@Arcexey]

Neil Buckley It's a negative attribute for solo how they dealt with her. It's like they want her to be significant and not. They should have had it just be a fling and so Woody not caring the rest of the film would make sense. you're right he should have frustrated or mad at them somehow. Did they spawn the things that killed her? I don't remember

[@moraganmoes]

BushidoBrownSama yes and in reality Beckets team was working for the bad guys and Becket knew they were working for the bad guys and didn't care.

[@avdansr8913]

BushidoBrownSama completely agree with you here. And while I hated the way that Val went out (Rio’s death felt more earned), that was poor writing, not Enfys’ Nest and the marauders.

[@drdre1006]

That opening sequence on Corellia in the speeder had me hooked! Got a lot of Baby Driver vibes from it with his maneuvers....but the way it ended was amazing. Had a great laugh and huge grin on my face. Just what I needed, a fun adventure in my favorite Galaxy!

[@SbstnAcha]

Young Dre I agree! I have been trying to understand what went wrong for me with The Last Jedi, because even tho I had issues with it in the end I really liked it but I noticed something was lacking that was there with TFA and Rogue One and is something so simple: leaving the theatre with a huge grin in my face. That's so important in Star Wars, and Solo delivers on that regard. That childlike feeling of having witnessed a fun adventure and all the new things to explore with your imagination

[@drdre1006]

Honestly everything you just said I am 100% in agreeance with. I felt the same way with TLJ as I was leaving the theater each time I saw it. I liked it but that grin or excitement wasn't incredibly high as it was with a majority of the others. This brought it back for me and from what I'm reading a lot of others. Here's hoping for repeat viewings like myself and word of mouth gets around. THIS is what we need/want in Star Wars. That sense of hope, imagination, and adventure. I hope more and more give this film a chance despite their skepticism and find that same excitement as we have!

[@BoscoMoviesTV]

I loved the movie! Way over my expectations. I thought it dragged after the train heist. But then once you introduce Lando, I was 100% back in until the end of the movie. 8.5/10.

[@xRisK_Flash]

The movie exceeded my expectations and I left wanting more

[@dalegribble4308]

Darth Lucas I feel like they certainly left it open ended for a sequel or two

[@damnrapunzel8130]

I don't necessarily want to see a Solo sequel. I want them to continue the plot threads in Boba Fett.

[@niccomakk]

Totally agree with you

[@niccomakk]

Not about the boba fett movie really don't want that!!!

[@rockcatinc.4505]

Darth Lucas agreed!!

[@IdiocyShow]

I lost my damn mind when I heard Sam Witwers voice. I then knew it was Maul. Not gonna lie I shit my pants!

[@joongajackson2025]

I sharted in the theater. they had to close it for the next screening

[@SaladVonBaco]

Kristian..Becket didn't care about anyone but himself throughout the whole movie. He made people believe he cared so he could get everything out of them that he could. Even at the end he was about to kill Han but Han realized it quick enough and got him first.

[@shyjames83]

Salad Von Baco Han SHOT FIRST!

[@SaladVonBaco]

Yes he did...yes he did. One of the good moments of the movie I felt.

[@shyjames83]

Salad Von Baco Yeah it was

[@guiltypleasureisland6642]

Salad Von Baco I think he really did have a soft spot for Han though but it didn't mean he wouldn't hurt him if he had to

[@SaladVonBaco]

I'll agree to that.

[@horrornation1118]

Thought it was going to be shit and came out liking it way better than the the last jedi.

[@Robin50572]

When they said he killed Aura Sing I literally yelled WHAT!? And everyone around looked so confused but wanted to know more.

[@jordansherrick7297]

nicky sullivan it sounds weird that a non force user or a lesser known smuggler/bounty hunter didn't kill sing.She was formidable is the clone wars show and off screen deaths like that are lazy

[@BATBOMB82]

SAME!

[@ZachBobBob]

I loved little lines like that that tied all these things together

[@devindoty4989]

they also mentioned Bossk lmao

[@elliotkouame3849]

Jordan Sherrick there will be a comic or something.

[@ThatJunkman]

At the time Han wasn't sure Chewbacca could understand english

[@dballz1016]

Star Wars Junk also the stormtroopers were standing right over them and he might have been worried about them hearing his plan

[@mdhalbrook]

Agreed I think the Shirwook use was to not let the imps know they were working together.

[@independencefilms203]

Galactic Basic not English, lol

[@thebortthe]

Star Wars Junk exactly! We know he speaks basic. Han doesn't necessarily. Plus he's about to get murdered, he drops into shyriiwook it catches Chewie by surprise.

[@keithfranklin214]

Thats exactly what I thought. Han was talking to him at first in basic. Not until he switch to Chewie language he didnt listen.

[@liquid8419]

They didn't cover this, but I dug how the movie mentioned Qi'Ra was trained in Teras Kasi. For a fan like me explains how she is a bad ass fighter.

[@TheBongReyes]

Now I realize why I miss Ken after he left Collider.

[@skitzojedi2505]

TheBongReyes Hair on my screen...we meet again.

[@TheBongReyes]

SkitzoJedi 😈👍

[@BushidoBrownSama]

Ken left Collider?

[@aaronblum9555]

Ken is Jedi Council practically every week and on The Schmoedown.

[@flesheater5712]

TheBongReyes must mean miss Jeremy Jahns when he left , his review is right on.

[@MyPreciousKnife]

As someone who wasn’t a huge fan of TLJ, I loved solo! I’m shocked I liked this movie too much, I expected it to such but I really enjoyed it

[@ZachBobBob]

I knew people that didn't like TLJ would love Solo. All those fans boycotting Solo are missing out

[@mr559]

I wasn't fond of TLJ, but Solo was a good redemption for some of us.

[@JB-1138]

Nick Gold I know right?

[@RichardUlrichActor]

Surprisingly really fun. Alden played young Han and not Harrison Ford and it worked so well Cast was great. Pacing was so-so. LANDO STOLE THE SHOW. Darth Maul took a HOT second for me to digest, in the span of seeing him for under a minute I was in awe, loved it, hated it, felt confused then figured out that it sets up Obi Wan's film. Had a great time with it overall.

[@JohnpenninoVO]

I doubt they will Have Maul in Obiwan's film. I don't think they will recreate something from rebels in live action form and I think they made the point in Rebels that Maul hadn't seen Obi since their last encounter in clone wars.

[@barkasz6066]

Recently, I started appreciating Ken a lot more.

[@ChrisWoodburn83]

Solo surpassed my expectations it was a very fun film and it had a really cool cameo that i won't spoil here

[@XylyXylyX]

But Han predicted that Becket would betray him....Becket had to the be betrayer. It wasn’t a surprise to Han....right?

[@damnrapunzel8130]

Correct.

[@SbstnAcha]

Exactly

[@bubbazep01]

XylyXylyX A surprise, to be sure - but a welcome one.

[@radiobroog8091]

That's what I commented, I think they forgot that moment in the review.

[@Indydav]

Agreed.why doesn’t Harloff understand that. Han completely knew Beckett was going to double cross him and that set up the whole ending.

[@jaredbennett7677]

I actually liked not getting a straight 'Life Debt', but seeing the development of a good relationship, still a lot of 'i owe you' but not 'i have to give you my life'. I also like that it sets up an idea that there is a pending idea that Han is going to help Chewie free the other Wookies

[@Millenium2927]

Kristian complaining the Kessel Run scene was too long?!?!?! c'mon man!! that was awesome!! you had to spend a good amount of time in the falcon, han and chewie and the origins of their bond with the greatest ship in sci-fi. i would watch a 5 hour scene of them just traveling through hyperspace in the falcon if that existed!

[@elvinr4134]

Cliwoods01

[@ericsmith9547]

Loved this movie so much. Alden was a great solo, Glover was a great Lando, chewie was awesome. The pacing of this movie was perfect, the score was beautiful I loved the new characters. I don’t understand the negative for this movie because to many people are putting their own feeling on the movie instead of looking at what the movie gave you.

[@Revan-eb1wb]

the pacing was perfect??? please pass the weed

[@robertnewman978]

I think you're overthinking it Christian. It's Star Wars not Citizen Kane. It's fast and loose Breezy fun. Sometimes it's a little corny sometimes it's a little cheesy but man what a ride. I still respect you though man.

[@gokinsmen]

Solo reminded me a lot of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Just a great, pulpy, B-movie.

[@asecmimosas4536]

To say one is "overthinking" is to imply that one has accepted the dissonance in one's own logic, which is fine, but to ask someone else to accept the dissonance in one's own logic is going a step too far.

[@Hola-uo3sf]

why so serious Well aren’t you a pleasant human being...

[@wills.8662]

Hola 5 SW has been unpleasant for many fans since ball-head boy screwed up TLJ

[@MrCooperst]

Its literally his job to pick it apart and "over think it"

[@PalJorgensen]

I loved the movie! It felt like having one of the 80’s Marvel SW comic books come alive in front of me. This is what adventure is supposed to be like imo. There was a couple of things i didnt care for, but I dont dwell on those issues. Instead I enjoy the fact that I now have another fun Star Wars story to visit whenever I want to. Cant wait to get more! To the Collider crew: Thank you for giving me good content and a weekly fix of Star Wars (Jedi Council) you guys rock! 👍🏻😊

[@edv8064]

Really enjoyed this movie! If there is a sequel I will be waiting. Also I thought the actors that portrayed Han and Lando did a great job!

[@TheDarrengp]

Reading the comments so far, it feels like the fandom and critics have switched their TLJ roles. The film was a little slow in places but a great watch. The last half hour was so rad!

[@drdre1006]

After my lukewarm expectations going in, I ended up really, really digging the hell out of it! Alden brought that cockiness and fake-it to you make-it aspect but still having that heart of gold we see throughout the Saga! The cast brought a great dynamic and bounced off each other so well. The action sequences were on-point especially the space sequences! Some issues were definitely the “name” scene and the middle act did slow just a tiny bit for my taste. Overall, I really enjoyed myself! Can’t wait to re-watch tomorrow :)

[@akitostation]

I cared more for the crew in the beginning than the entire cast in Rogue One. That's how good it is

[@LoDoFilmUnlimitedMedia]

To the point of "why does Han want to be a pilot", he mentions that his father used to build YT-1300 transports on Corellia. That may explain why he wants to fly and why he loves the Falcon - maybe it reminds him of his dad or has something to do with him. To the point about Beckett not grieving for his girlfriend, well, maybe he has already learned the lesson that Yoda tried teaching Anakin, train yourself to let go of attachment. Beckett's philosophy was more like the "Jedi", than not. He was grieving in front of two graves and he punches Han in anger, then gets over it. I thought it was fine. That's just my .02 Otherwise good review! Oh and L337 being part of the Falcon - C3PO : (ESB) : "Sir, I don't know where your ship learned to communicate but it has a very peculiar dialect." I love it!

[@AmaraEmme]

LoDoFilm Unlimited Media Agreed. I also think that Han was like Wash from Firefly in that he clearly wanted to escape his home planet for a long time, and thought he might need to be a pilot to do that. And just by Alden’s acting/common sense, I could tell that driving a speeder gave him a rare sense of freedom in his miserable existence. Plus, after he got off the planet, he had to get back to Qi’ra, and I think that added fuel to his dream of being a pilot :)

[@SbstnAcha]

As I recall Enfys Nest didn't kill Val. She was surrounded by droids and had no time to escape. Also, even if Enfys is a rebel or a "good guy", at that moment in the movie she only knew that Beckett and his crew worked for Dryden. So, in her eyes he is just another enemy. Also, she had the chance to kill Beckett but she only disarms him. By the way Enfys could be seen as an extremist kind of rebel ala Saw Gerrera who I have no doubt would have killed anyone-even a rebel- if it gets in his way. Regarding the Beckett lack of mourning, I remember having seen in that scene some kind of burrial happening (wich can be interpreted as a sign of affection). So, when Han arrives, Beckett already had time to mourn the loss of his crew. Anyway, I think this was a great movie and left me pleasantly surprised!

[@ericcsmith72]

Saw Gerrera killed Captain Panaka in the Leia novel.

[@SbstnAcha]

Eric C Smith oh I didn't know that, thank you!

[@scruffylives9224]

Good points. Also since you mentioned Saw, I swear one of Nest’s crew looked like a member of Saw’s crew we saw in Rogue One. I wonder if they do unite or are already working together.

[@SbstnAcha]

Scruffy Lives Edrio Two Tubes, right? Yeah it looks like it was him... or his twin brother Benthic

[@avonbarksdale91]

Well done sir haha

[@jakewilson7]

truly don't understand all the hate on this movie, it was a great, fun adventure that had so many little easter eggs that had me smiling through the whole movie. Han was solid, Lando was amazing, and chewy was everything I could have ever wanted. 9/10, personally my favorite since the OT.

[@bruno78392]

We are avoiding anything Disney’s Star War badging. Good for you, you like Disney’s Star Wars. You supporting Kathleen Kennedy who does not like OG fans or don’t want crater to men. She wants new gullible fans to will follow her vision of Disney’s Star Wars

[@thecannonballz4647]

That deep cut from Legends when Ki'ra mentioned she studied Teras Kasi.

[@camerongeiger211]

Loved the movie! Easter eggs were good, I loved the Darth Maul connection. I think this is what stand alone movies should do is explore star wars in different genres. Rogue One was a war movie, Solo was a western. Do you think there will be a sequel? They sure set it up for one.

[@camerongeiger211]

Maybe the sequel could be the Boba Fett movie?

[@RichardUlrichActor]

Agreed. Really pleasantly surprised, loved how Darth maul was used. Got a great reactions out of me.

[@RichardUlrichActor]

Sets up an obi wan movie or possibly a solo 2

[@dylandamn1]

How long is earth maul in it? Is it just in passing or an actual scene with said actual actor?! IS IT WORTH BUYING A TICKET OR WATING ON RED BOX

[@Law260]

I wish I could see the Disney roadmap for Star Wars...for the next 5-10 years. The problem with making these backstories, is that they these characters ultimately end up in a place we're familiar with. Obi Wan, Boba Fett, Solo, Jabba, Maul, and so on. Honestly, I don't know what I would like from Disney on the Star Wars front right now. I feel like they should finish up with Episode 9, take their foot off the gas and spend some time developing an epic Star Wars story line.

[@FallenSun210]

I really enjoyed the film. Sure had a few flaws but overall was a fun and pretty cool film. The second half carries the film and wow...that "special" guest at the end was awesome!

[@drdre1006]

FallenSun She May not look like much but she’s got it where it counts, Kid ;)

[@celestinefilms2306]

MAUL! this is a SPOILER REVIEW! save that "special guest" shit for the non spoiler hehe

[@Sam_T2000]

this is basically how I felt, except for a few things... Lando was kinda silly, L3 was the Jar Jar of droids, the Kessel battle was underwhelming (not the Run though), and then the ending was pretty disappointing... everyone just betrayed everyone else, like at least twice. it was kind of a mess. but I did kinda like the Enfys Nest twist, and I wish we had got more of her leading up to that.

[@serbancapraru8559]

It was pretty cringy when he lit his lightsaber for a second, almost like winking at the camera and then turned it off again. Other than that, nice cameo.

[@serbancapraru8559]

Kenneth Focarino lol that's hilarious.

[@Paulovlyra]

Loved that ending!!!! This one was surprisingly good

[@roshieifra]

I really liked this movie. I don't get the hate.

[@mintcoffee6030]

Jennifer Ramos leftover backlash from TLJ and is honestly an unnecessary movie. I'm surprised by how much I loved it, the glaring issues like how he got his name and other flaws make me angry because this could have been even better, but I still thought it was overall great. Other people couldn't look past the flaws and have different tastes or more likely didn't bother to see the movie

[@trevorthornley8835]

I thoroughly enjoyed it

[@__________1175]

@@mintcoffee6030 I'm surprised people didn't like how he got his name. I just watched the film so I went in expecting to have a lot of issues with it given it's reception but now I'm starting to see why there's been all this recent talk of Star Wars fans just kinda being haters. Like, I'm no hardcore fanboy and I've been critical of TFA and TLJ. I thought Rogue One was pretty good even if the best part of the movie is like the last half hour. But Solo, this is a movie I was all but certain I didn't want and thought it'd just be some fanservice-y, better kept to a comic story that doesn't belong on film and I was totally wrong. Just about the whole film worked for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Even how he got his name. I thought it'd be corny but it just seemed like a more empathetic imperial just cut him some slack and gave him one on the fly. I found it totally believable.

[@frankiecedeno3724]

Because it’s thoroughly mediocre?

[@Faiyazamit]

Emilia Clarke's character Kira was great! nuanced and complicated

[@gokinsmen]

Sorry Collider crew, but you guys were waaaay off-base on this one. Solo was absolutely FANTASTIC. I'm actually in disbelief at how good it was after reading the mixed reviews. It reminded me so much of Raiders of the Lost Ark with its pulpy charm. This was classic Kasdan dialogue with great character moments given to every major character. Chewie's introduction and the Kessel Run were particularly great. I also loved John Powell's love theme for Qi'Ra -- just gorgeous. I have no clue what people are talking about when they mention the "slow" first act. If anything, my only real complaint is the third act -- I think they had one twist too many during the final Dryden Vos confrontation.

[@Sam_T2000]

gokinsmen - I mostly second that... I really liked the first half or so... the Lando and L3 was kinda annoying to me, the Kessel battle was lame, but it picked up again with the Kessel Run. the final act was disappointing and had about 5 twists too many, and the Enfys Nest reveal wasn’t really earned. I wish Qira had been bad, and Beckett been good.

[@avonbarksdale91]

I loved this movie! I thought it was fun, and I had a smile on my face the entire time!. And for the record, I am a Die-hard star wars fan! I saw A new hope, before it was called a new hope when I was five years old. I've seen all the movies, the clone wars and rebels. I have read several novels, I know my star wars. I don't feel the need to nit-pick. I enjoyed it so much!

[@tsolo813]

This is the best of new Star Wars movie. I loved it !!

[@smartrn1]

Does Ken EVER, EVER say he disagrees with Disney SW? Come on guys.

[@amysarg]

Completely disagree with Harloff’s claim that Enfys Nest’s reveal was ‘bad writing’.. seriously? This is a neo-noir western film riffing on the tropes of the genre, they pulled that off perfectly!

[@oddballskull1941]

Aden Sargeant it's 2018. It was bad writing

[@tomtalksmovies4825]

Wow I went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised and really like a lot of it...not perfect but Harlof seems a bit over over critical

[@redwar77]

I think Maul is running his crime syndicate again. This movie is ten years before New Hope so there is plenty of time to show how Maul ends up on Malacor

[@EwanMakeMovies]

SOLO had no right to be as good as it was. I was very cynical about this whole spin-off endeavour but it really put Rogue One and the other prequels to shame. Stylish, fresh and confident. Harloff complaining about canon made me smile.

[@BeberDag130482]

So Han got his "Solo" name just like Vito Andolini got his "Corleone" name from a clerk, an administration guy filling its registry.

[@danielmedjedovic7068]

If Qira made it with him, the administration guy would be like: "Han..Dou"

[@coryb9514]

Really enjoyed Solo, much better then Last Jedi! My entire family enjoyed it, and we were not fans of Last Jedi at all. Solo gets a solid B+ from me, was a whole lot of fun!!

[@rsrocha1984]

To Harloff point about Enfys: But they are not good guys, the smuglers, are they?. Han is with them, but they are not good guys, they almost kill Han in the beginning and their leader betrays Han at the end. At the end Enfys only try to talk with them because she had no other choise, if she kill them Dryden would arrived before and kill everybody Beckett explain that the fuel will not finish refining before Dryden arrived, so, she has no other option other than trying to enlist their help, and if Han was not there, she would have failed and got herself and her crew killed. She tries to talk out of desperation.

[@dvavryk9059]

Loved the movie in general, but I need to say this... Alden Ehrenreich! Just remember the name, kids, cause this guy was phenomenal. Donald is great and I get the hype, I love him. But Alden was the star of this movie. I want more!

[@Batgirlei]

I had fun with this film. A film is not bad if it doesn't do what you specifically want or have speculated. I disagree that Enfys Nest was bad writing, Woody's crew was the bad guys, that's why she was ruthless. I respect you Kristian, but at times it just feels your being hypercritical.

[@MrBlack20mamba]

Movie was freaking amazing

[@shaid1111]

I normally hate the idea of non force Star Wars movies(It is fantasy, not sci fi). But I really dug this. Once I looked at it as space Indiana Jones and not a Star Wars movie I totally got onboard. I know you hate when we say this Kristian, but I really think you are burning yourself here. You should really take this less seriously. It is meant to be corny, it is meant to be silly. We can take the corniness seriously, but these films are meant for 12 year olds. And that is fine.

[@danefalkenhagen2183]

Harloff, leave the cannon and the lore at the door. You gotta stop watching the movie looking for and expecting cannon references you want! Your enjoyment of the film seems to be impacted by how cannon you like is involved in this stand alone film. It's frustrating me 😂

[@bean6884]

Dane Falkenhagen Yep yep!

[@obikenobi8855]

Yes Beckett was predictable. But the twist was that Han did NOT trust him and saw his betrayal coming (unlike Indiana Jones and Ned Stark). He is smart enough to not have to learn every lesson the hard way, else he wouldn't survive as the "good guy" in a world of scumbags.

Totally agree

[@franciscomauricio7811]

I absolutely love this movie, could have cut about 20 minutes out. I honestly think that was Howard’s pacing, his movies are kinda slow paced. So I expected that a little. But loved this movie. As for Maul, they are setting up other movies and including solo 2.

[@serbancapraru8559]

Francisco Mauricio I'm up for Solo 2, but it'll probably not make enough money for that.

[@smashingsuccess4827]

Francisco Mauricio Instead of Solo 2, he’ll appear in other anthology films like the Boba Fett Movie and the rumored Lando movie could work as a pseudo-Sequel to Solo. The Fett Movie could tie in with the Maul thing more, maybe Fett gets hired by Maul and Qira for something?

[@jasonleetaiwan]

The train sequence was too long. I was kind of bored.

[@robertovenegas6448]

I disagree with Kristian. Alden as Han is the best part of the film. Great casting. The whole cast was fantastic. Gonna see it again this weekend.

[@Revan-eb1wb]

good for yout to spend so much fucking money in a mediocre film

[@OGKennyPowers]

Kristian had some serious nitpicking lol but I see where he’s coming from. However, Han speaking Wookiee isn’t just for comedic effect. We’re clearly shown that the troopers are watching them, he couldn’t spill out the plan with them watching (plus it probably makes them think Han is even more of a dumb coward by actually trying to talking to this “beast”). Beckett had to cross Han so Han develops an even further viewpoint of how he is in a new hope. It makes his arc that much sweeter in the end. Also, Han shot first.

[@PBuffdaddy00]

I thought it was a great movie. It's not my favorite Star Wars movie, but I didn't go in this movie expecting it to be. I had a great time.

[@oddballskull1941]

Yoo Dabba Dabba han wookie

[@jimideth]

They would’ve been enslaved probably

[@darnitimstuckstudios]

Really wasn’t expecting a lot of Kristians thoughts and feelings this time around, I usually line up well but Kristian seems more pessimistic. I didn’t have any preconceived ideas about Han’s early self or for what I thought the movie should do....so that’s probably the divide this time. SOLO is a solid 8-8.5 in my book, but I will see it again and reevaluate as always

[@MikeDye86]

Hans last name was always one of those cheesy coincidences in Star Wars. Like his last name is solo and he's a loner. It would be like Darth Vader's name being broody dark guy. I love that they gave meaning to his last name that fit with his story and that it was picked for him

[@TheBlackhoof]

Well Darth Vader almost literally means "dark father" so pretty much haha

[@playmaker1479]

I think I have the unpopular opinion but I thought Donald Glover was okay as Lando, nothing special. Alden though, blew me away. I thought he was amazing and he is definitely Han. He never once blended into the background. Loved Han, hated how he got his name. That was just stupid

[@Sam_T2000]

Playmaker - agreed! Han felt like a real, bright-eyed Han, and not just a Harrison Ford impersonation. Lando, on the other hand, just felt like an exaggerated, cartoonish Lando impression.

[@scruffylives9224]

Agreed completely.

[@KaylaMarie_]

I share the same opinion. Donald Glover seemed like he was doing billie dee williams impression sometimes.

[@szpyrk0]

Kristian should have stayed with only episode 4-6. Seriously...

[@zaclangdon3218]

The wookie on Kessel was starved and emaciated. That's why it looked weird. I thought it was powerful imagery

[@raulramirez6567]

This is some of the best Star Wars talk. Differing opinions, but the love of Star Wars is there. I could listen to you guys talk Star Wars for hours.

[@loveoffilm4327]

I liked how casually han got his last name it wasnt some big moment same way he got his blaster it was just something he picked up along the way I liked l3 because everyone was annoyed by her including lando and she ended up inadvertently freeing a planet by just freeing one droid it was great Obviously han didnt know chewbacca spoke basic and he tried wookie so that made perfect sense I wouldve hated for chewies family to be on kessel, that wouldve been a huge cheesy coincidence. Instead it showed how beat down the wookie species is by the fact that chewbacca bonded with the one other wookie in minutes. "Tribe or family? Is there a difference?" Also gave more weight to chewie choosing han instead of his "family". Beckett and his crew werent good guys in anyway they tried to kill han in thr first scene instead of letting him join them, thats cold. Beckett just saw han could be useful until han tried to do somethin selfless. Also they were working for crimson dawn so the proto rebels had license to kill them at that point. The point of the beckett twist was that everyone saw it coming including han which is why it didnt fool him, beckett misjudged hans good nature. Bettany had more to do than jabba in the movies so what more did we want? Han still has years to become han from the original trilogy but he is getting there. The only issue with this film i had was maul lighting his lightsaber for no reason and kira knocking away hans gun because he was killing bettanys guy so that she could kill him?

[@avocado6623]

I liked it, it was a really fun movie. I wish there was more of Han + Chewie, I had a smile on my face every time they were joking around together. It felt like it dragged in certain spots, and maybe it was my angle, but it seemed to be very dimly lit. However that droid was awful. Stop using Star Wars to stand on a soap box please. I had to stop myself from cheering when she got shot.

[@2uentin66]

If Star Wars cannot address droids rights... I guess nobody can?

[@jt2044]

We had a few people cheer when the droid died.

[@kadenchambers419]

I started clapping when she got shot no joke

[@ZachBobBob]

I knew people would complain about L3 being some sort of SJW real world agenda pushing thing but in-universe it made perfect sense. It's a new angle to explore from a droid's perspective

[@devindoty4989]

gonk droids forever!

[@jeremy144713]

i'll say it, Krisitian was EXTREMELY nitpicky. His passion for Star Wars ruined his experience of this film. I consider myself a bigger fan of the Star Wars franchise than most BUT i went in with mild expectations and was surprisingly pleased! I actually want a sequel but every single point Kristian made was just pure nit picky and whatever wasn't nit picky, he missed the point of what the movie was telling. For once Kristians passion for Star Wars actually held him back and ruined his time, he's thinking way too much into this.

[@ZachBobBob]

Genuinely had a really good time with this thing. Alden sold me immediately. It was Emilia Clarke's best performance outside of Game of Thrones. Donald obviously killed it, the Maul cameo was great! And I actually really liked L3 although I know a lot of people hate her, she was like the polar opposite of HK from Kotor. Better than Rogue One, although nothing in it beat the space battle at the end of that. And Han wanted to be a pilot to get a ship to escape the dump that was Corellia with Qi'ra. Needed to pay more attention to the movie Kristian half your points can be refuted and you shouldn't have expected them to stick so close to legends.
