Did anyone not click with these two dudes? I thought Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover were about as good in the roles as you could ask for-not too much of an impression of the originals, but also imbued with their essences. The card game where Han won the Falcon from Lando? Had me grinning. I knew we were going to probably see Han and Chewie meet for the first time and I thought it added to their relationship. Did I want to know where Han’s name comes from? No, but in the moment, I bought it. If I can give this movie props for one thing it would be that it made me love a bunch of stuff that sounds cringeworthy on paper. That’s not even digging into the endless references. I went into it knowing a little more than the average bear, but it still kept me on my toes with its double-crosses and reveals. I had heard the first act was slow, but for me, the movie never dragged. I love that movie, but think it has some struggles getting off the ground at first. That’s their problem.)īrendan Nystedt, Market Editor: I would totally agree with you-I think it’s better than Rogue. It’s not going in my Top 5 Star Wars films, but I at least thought it was better than Rogue One. Maybe that was the result of low expectations, maybe I just really love Glover’s Lando-I dunno. Make like Chewie and join us.Īngela Watercutter, Senior Associate Editor: Alright guys, I’m going to go out on a limb here (OK, not a crazy limb like the kind of limb some ambitious dad turned into a tree bench, or put a swing on.): I liked Solo. From here on out it’s just WIRED writers and editors Brendan Nystedt, Jason Parham, and Angela Watercutter dissecting Solo in detail. First we need to give folks afraid of spoilers a chance to show themselves out. But we’ll get to all of that in a second. (Alden Ehrenreich is a fun, swaggering Han Solo Donald Glover is a sexy, swaggering Lando Calrissian Phoebe Waller-Bridge is a smartass, swaggering droid.) They’re also in for at least one big surprise-and a few slightly smaller delights. It’s fun! It might not be blowing up the box office, but folks are still seeing it in droves and when they do they’re in for a really nice time. So, Solo: A Star Wars Story is finally in theaters.
