Solo

Solo: A Star Wars Story is a 2018 film. I hadn't really expected to like this, but I loved it. Perfect casting, a wonderful story... I'm surprised there wasn't a sequel. I can recommend it as an enjoyable back story that stays true to the characters. We watched it during our free time at Disney+.

    Deep sigh. Not a fan of Star Wars. Now, another Star Trek movie and I'd make the popcorn

      I like _some_ Star Wars movies in the same way I like only some of Star Trek.

    I saw this in the theater and then a couple of times on Disney+. It is a good film. I'm with you! Definitely worth the watch!

      I was actually surprised by how good a job they did with the characters and the plot. I'd watch it again :)

    I saw this one--was pretty good. So many Star Wars movies. I think one day I should watch them in chronological order and I'd be less confused--LOL! Loved the first movie--which is what the 4th or 5th? ;)

      Yes, the 4th, 5th, and 6th were the first ones released. Cultural treasures, the 3 of them. 1, 2, and 3 (the prequels) are the first chronologically but disastrous imo as entertainment and as being true to the spirit of the originals.

    Gosh, I haven't even heard of this. I would enjoy it I think. To comment on CJ's message, Star Trek MOVIES never turned me on. I didn't ever watch TOS and only got into the newer trek tv shows a bit. However, I loved the original three Star Wars movies that came out in the 80s. The rest were OK, but not my favorite by any means.

      I was a fan of TOS. I loved some of the Star Trek movies. The Next Generation is my least favorite of the trek tv series so far, although as I get deeper into the new Picard series that could change ;)

    I liked it too. I wish they had continued with the series.

    I love the first Star Wars movies but never really got into watching the sequels! Sounds like I should give this one a try though, thanks for the recommendation 😀. Happy weekend! Hugs, Jo x

      The first ones released were the best! Those prequels that are now numbered as 1, 2, 3 are hideous. They have a lot to answer for :( I pretend they don't exist ;)

    My friend's son (and a former student worker of mine back in the day) worked on this, so I feel a sense of second-degree connection to this one! I'm glad you enjoyed!

      Cool! I really did love it. The cast is perfect and they were true to canon, unlike that despicable prequel trilogy.
