Solo: A Star Wars Story
7/10



IMDB: "During an adventure into the criminal underworld, Han Solo meets his future copilot Chewbacca and encounters Lando Calrissian years before joining the Rebellion."

It's fairly bland and unimaginative in general. The story picks up some momentum in the last 40 mins. It feels like the film must dutifully fill in the Star Wars Han Solo cannon (what the previous Star Wars story said happened).

The story makes a horrible blunder in taking on emancipation of robots... a ridiculous story and unwelcome diversion... which actually stumbles into being insulting to actual emancipation and civil rights movements of humankind. When the film made light of the droid wanting droid emancipation, because the droid was eccentric and delusional, it was funny, when the film turned to pickup the torch, it dropped everything.
