I recently saw the movie Solo, and as a whole I thought it was great. It had a nice new cast of characters, and a refreshing take on the old ones, at least for the most part. Despite the fact that I enjoyed most of this movie there were a few major problems that brought this movie from a "great" to a "good". I went into the viewing of this film with an open mind, as such, I was disappointed when my first big gripe with this movie appeared in the first two minutes of it. Han Solo's iconic dice are a staple of the Millennium Falcon, and although they are a recurring item in the movie because they are "lucky", their significance is never explained. This really bugged me, as originally they were explained as the the dice that Han won the Falcon with, and now they seem to have no purpose at all aside from luck. My next two problems took place at the end of the movie. I love Darth Maul as much as the next guy, but his return to the Star Wars movies had a strange timing and an even stranger connotation for the franchise. I will probably address this concept again at a later date. My final product with this movie was that Han Solo was just too good of a guy. It didn't really fit with what his motivations were and it took away from the overall experience of the ending especially. Despite these three gripes, I still believe that Solo is a good film and a good addition to the Star Wars franchise. It is worth a watch for any Star Wars fan, and I recommend you watch it even if you aren't a fan yourself.
