My Thoughts


Solo Star Wars is a great chapter in the Star Wars movies. Han Solo has always been one of my favorite characters, and I loved seeing him young and just starting out in the world. You get to see the difficult start he had, and how he came to know Chewbacca. You get to meet his first love, and you watch him suffer more than one bitter betrayal. There are new characters and younger versions of many of our favorites. Through it all, he still has his fun sense of humor.

I don't want to give too much away as far as the story line, but be prepared for lots of adventures. There are great fight scenes and lots of chases. There are victories and some very bitter losses. The special effects are outstanding and the alien extras in the cast are an art-form all of their own.  In addition to the movie, this set includes some awesome bonus footage, including deleted scenes, interviews with the cast, behind the scenes info and so much more. This is definitely a movie everyone needs to have in their Star Wars collection.
