I really enjoyed it, it's an entertaining origin movie that serves the character of Han Solo well and brings to live action some of the events that shape the swashbuckling scoundrel we meet in A New hope.
The film also introduces a number of quality new characters into the Star Wars universe, Beckett is a charasmatic world weary outlaw who helps shape some of Han's world view, while Rio and L3 both add to the cool roster of aliens/Droids respectively, and Enfys Nest goes from [BLACKOUT]pirate to freedom fighter[/BLACKOUT] in one of the films most interesting and surprising turns.
My favourite of the new characters though was Qi'Ra, I might be in love!

lol. Emilia Clarke imbues her with a whip smart charm, cunning, heart, grit and sexiness, her chemistry with Han is on point and it's not hard to believe he was determined to make his way back to her, or that she worked her way out of Corellia on her own.
The worm thing Han worked for looked like the Mom of the Trash compactor creature in A New Hope!
The opening speeder chase on Corellia is a nostalgic throwback, a sci fi ode to a Bruce Springsteen song, with the rebellious young pilot and his equally spirited girlfriend looking to make their way off the dead end industrial planet, the chase sequence is really well shot and exhilarating while also giving a bit of tour of the work being done on Corellia in regards to making ships for the Empire as we see parts of a Star Destroyer being hauled up by huge cranes, great stuff!.
The first meeting between Han and Chewie is fantastic, I wasn't expecting the fight but it was done in a humourous way and sets up their great dynamic from the off. The fist meeting between Han and Lando is more like what I was expecting but it's also really well done and Donald Glover knocks it out of the park.
Alden Ehrenreich is fine as Han, he doesn't try to be Harrison Ford but has enough charm in the role to do the job as a less cynical Han, and he plays well off Chewie and Lando in his key dynamics.
The train heist sequence is incredible, instantly one of my favourite action set pieces from a Galaxy, far, far away, it's just a stunning visual spectacle filled with cool moments, stakes and a big pay-off.
Dryden Vos is a suitably menacing villain but the Kessel run heist is less exiciting and runs a bit long, it has some good moments though and the finale is a bit like an oldschool con movie with the various double crosses and a bit of badasseery from Qi'Ra.
[BLACKOUT]Darth Maul cameo was cool. [/BLACKOUT]
The ending itself it on point from Han outmanouvering Lando for the Falcon and him and Chewie lifting off in his newly won Falcon to go see a gangster on Tattoine about a new job, I wonder who that could be?
8/10
