    Seeing an early screening of "SOLO" tonight.  Pretty excited actually.....expectations are low, but excited!
    Loved it!  Don’t go in expecting your regular Star Wars film. Good stuff.
    Gives me some confidence.

    I'm convinced Solo is going to be better than many (including myself) thought, but it still seems like a poorly conceived project. If Harrison Ford hadn't agreed to come back for TFA and they had written Han out of the Saga, then I can see how something like this might make sense. But as it is we just had an emotional sendoff for one of the most iconic characters in the franchise. No one was asking to see him as a young man.

    Lando: A Star Wars Story was the way to go all along.
    You will be pleased my Lando loving friend.......

    My local paper gave it 4 stars. Makes me more keen to see it.

    Saw Solo this afternoon, and really enjoyed it! The casting was very good, Donald Glover was great as Lando.
    It has reaffirmed my love of Star Wars after the disappointing Last Jedi

    saw a late show last night (11:30) Agree Donald Glover was great as Lando.  Overall i liked it a lot, some surprise cameos.  One thing which i was kinda afraid of was the gut who played Han.  It just didn't seem like it was the right person to play him.  He did ok, but just didn't feel like Han to me.

    I liked it. But the thing I hate with some movies is that the screen is too dark. The green tint or whatever.

    I think he did an ok job. I can’t think of anyone that could play a young Harrison Ford convincingly, but I think he was pretty good. 

    I think Solo may be the best of the 4 new Star Wars movies, in my opinion. It’s probably the one I was looking forward to the least (especially after TLJ), but I think they pulled off a really good movie. There were plenty of subtle nods to events from the original trilogy, and it looks like it will link in with others too - maybe a sequel/spin off, or the Boba Fett one that is being talked about. Apparently the main cast signed multiple movie contracts.

    i'M STILL HOPING THAT THIS ISN'T TRUE...   We saw pretty much his origin in clone wars.

    Agreed! Hoping to see a lot more of the surprise character from the end of solo.

    Given Solo's opening weekend numbers I would be shocked to see this Boba Fett movie go forward.

    Every body was going to BBQ's and not a movie?

    It did twice as much as Deadpool.

    Deadpool is in its second weekend. In its opening weekend it brought in $125+ million. Solo looks to have brought in about $85 million through Sunday which is down from The Force Awakens ($248), Rogue One ($155) and The Last Jedi ($220). That is not good.

    Good on the moviegoing public. The "stories" are unnecessary and inferior cash grabs.
