“Everything is under control. Situation normal. Had a slight weapons malfunction. But uh, everything is perfectly alright now.” – Han Solo

Board the Millennium Falcon and journey to a galaxy far, far away in Solo: A Star Wars Story, an all-new adventure with the most beloved scoundrel in the galaxy. Through a series of daring escapades deep within a dark and dangerous criminal underworld, Han Solo meets his mighty future copilot Chewbacca and encounters the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian, in a journey that will set the course of one of the Star Wars saga’s most unlikely heroes. – Lucasfilm Ltd.

Solo was a Star Wars movie that literally no one asked for. On top of that this film was plagued with behind the scenes issues. All of that added up led to a poor run at the box office which is too damn bad but because Solo was just what the Star Wars franchise needed. Solo is like if you jammed Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man and A New Hope in a blender. A space western heist movie, that’s Solo. People were also hesitant of Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo, they should’ve been he made the role his own — not an impression of Harrison Ford. Finally, we all knew Donald Glover would crush it and he did. Don’t be a jerk and hate on this movie because you hated The Last Jedi.
