I did feel this movie on an emotional level. But there’s no villain. I guess maybe it was the Empire? This was more of a character study than a story. But instead of revisiting chapters in Han’s life, it’s presented as everything that shaped Han happened in a linear, timely manner. Everyone is likable. In different situations everyone we meet would add up to make a killer crew. But character development and plot prevent that.
Also, they try so desperately hard to connect this to the Original Trilogy and Sequel Trilogy. But it retcons the Prequels. It puts an Obi Wan movie in dangerous plot jeopardy. One character is brought back in such a gaudy, over the top fashion that people started to laugh. And one character is a near carbon copy of a character from the MCU.
See Solo because you’re a completionist or because you want to see a very expensive piece of fan fiction. It’s not a bad movie. It’s just. Awkward.
