Honestly I thought it was pretty boring. Woody harlson seemed pretty underutilized. I know its the han solo show but idk, like woody's character is just kinda there & I feel he was wasted/unmemorable. Chewbacca is ok, got a nice bit of lore for him, lando is ok, Q'ra is ok, han solo is ok....basically a lot of decent not great plot if you would call it that. The han solo actor still hasn't grown on me, I wish they used that other guy that portrayed a younger harrison ford from age of adiline.(Its that guy that did that harrison ford han solo impression on youtube if you know who im talking about).
One thing this movie could have done with out is L7 and her SJW bantha fodder almost every time she was on screen. Like I get it, men is evil, EQUAL RIGHTS, BLAH blah, WOMEN ARE STRONG, why should I take orders from a male mentality. Wow did I feel like that message was shoved right in my ear, thanks L7. And to make her part of the millennium falcon....why would you do this writers? I mean really why was that needed? I cant even...that was basically the bul gallot scene for this movie(That scene in rogue one with the weird hentai squid thingy, something we didn't need.) I personally can't wait until a fan edit of this film comes outs and cuts some of that out. That's not to say I dont like female characters because I found Liea, Padme and ashoka to be pretty well established/respectable women in star wars. I enjoy those characters becuase they dont whine about what they dont have, they go and do their thing and get stuff done.
[spoiler]I will say this. The only thing that was awesome that I liked was you know who showing up at the end. An unexpected surprise but a welcome one [/spoiler]
I could give Ron Howard the benefit of the doubt and say that you know what this film switched directors and things were changed, maybe that's why it feels like its everywhere. But then again they kept L7 and recently made a big deal about lando being "pan sexual" outside of the film. Its not apparent in the film, but outside of the film one of the writers of the movie said this about lando's character, like why was this needed information, Why did I need to know that at all?! Does it add anything to lando knowing he wants to bang a robot? that he is attracted to men,women,children,aliens, a toaster? (I looked up pansexual, that's basically what it means...) To me lando was a lady's man but what do I know.
I think a lot of us here already were somewhat familiar with han's origin from the comics and books. Han gets his ship from lando, chewbacca swears a life debt to han, kessel less than 12 pareseccs , point A to point B. Basically this movie is converted from some legends sources done in an UN-interesting way except with sjw agenda on the side, with a rather UN-apealing set of characters and unmemorable villains and one surprise that probably is the only thing remotely interesting about this film. If you liked the film, more power to you and good for you for seeing more good in it than I did.
I am by no means a director, but if I was in some alternate universe , I would have made the kessel run the climax of the film, making the feat more important and focused mostly on Han and chewbacca's relationship and on how it develops minus woody harrison's character, lando and q'ra getting in the way. This is by no means a horrible film that ruins my childhood and I appreciate the easter eggs here and there. But it could have had a better direction, minus some of the boring stuff, this movie can be very enjoyable at times.
