Young Han Solo finds adventure when he joins forces with a gang of galactic smugglers and a 190-year-old Wookie named Chewbacca. Indebted to the gangster Dryden Vos, the crew devises a daring plan to travel to the mining planet Kessel to steal a batch of valuable coaxium. In need of a fast ship, Solo meets Lando Calrissian, the suave owner of the perfect vessel for the dangerous mission -- the Millennium Falcon.

Film Companion

What's onscreen simply isn't magical enough. It might please die-hard fans to know how Han got the last name or how he made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs...But I think even they might be disappointed.

Rated: 2.5/5

A scruffy nerf herder in a "galaxy far, far, away..." Solo: A Star Wars Story, a movie that has no reason to exist, is a fun lovable escapade that gives us a new introduction to the most famous non-Skywalker in the galaxy.

Rated: 3/4

The film is not without heart, though its heart exists in scattered fragments without assimilating into a cohesive whole.

The cast is great, there’s no doubt about it. But there’s a reason why Disney stepped away from creating so many standalone Star Wars films, and I think this film was a contributing factor.

MSB Reviews

Since the character of Han Solo was already established, the limits of what they could have done weren't huge, but the lack of stakes and consequently the lack of character development reduce this film's influence.

Rated: C+
