          The backstory of the beloved Han Solo as he encounters people such as Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian years before meeting Luke and the Rebellion.
--------------------------------------------------------CONTAIN SPOILERS--------------------------------------------------------

         Unfortunately, ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ didn’t do well in the box office compare to other films and Star Wars film. I enjoyed the film and all the small things that connects to the previous Star Wars movies such as Chewbacca with the chest, ripping arms and such. We see how Han develops characteristics that we see in the original movies. The interesting relationships Han has where he is friends with people, but there’s no trust between the two such as Han and Beckett.
        
          The cast did a great job, such as Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian~ I thought Alden Ehrenreich did a pretty good job portraying Han. Sometimes it felt out of character of what I thought Han should be, but the film takes place when Han is younger, so that could play into it. Cool to see an evil Vision~ Always love the androids in the Star War universe, and L3-37 was a great character to watch and her interaction with others around her.

          I enjoyed the twist towards the end where Han double tricked Beckett and Dryden. Whenever I see Han with Qi’ra, in my head I’m like, ‘What about Princess Leia, just wait for her bro!’

         It’s sad that they’ll be putting a hold on spin-off Star Wars film since ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ didn’t do so well, but I enjoyed the film~

         I was surprised when I saw Dark Maul at the end. I was even more confused on how old Han was since I thought Dark Maul died when Anakin was a kid. After the I saw the movie, I looked it up and found out that in the animated series, 'Star Wars: Clone Wars' (2013) that Dark Maul survived. It was strange to me how they made something from the animated series canon in a live action film.

         Fun fact: The Director, Ron Howard, also directed ‘The Grinch’ (2000). Ron Howard directed a wide genre of films such as ‘The Dark Tower’ (2017) and ‘In the Heart of Sea’ (2015)

Film and TV Show Recommendations

After I watch a Film or a TV show, I always list the name and the Director of the work.  At the end of the year, I count them all to see how many I've seen in that year.  These Films or TV shows are my Top works that I recommend. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Grand Budapest Hotel (Wes Anderson)      - Originally a novel, A Man narrates the story about his days of working as a Bell Boy at The Grand Budapest Hotel.  The Bell Boy also talks about the Concierge of the hotel.  I love the Cinematography of the film along with the interesting Story plot.  I feel like the Film's humor depends on the person's taste in humor.  The Humor was delivered through dialogue and action.  There are a few scenes that might not be appreciated by some people.  So, make sure you look closely at the rating of the film.  Hyouka (23 episodes) ...
