Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

A Star Wars cinematic universe makes me cringe, for obvious reasons. The one thing you shouldn't do to a franchise is milk it for all it's worth. Eventually, you will fatigue your own fan-base. Too much of a good thing is, well, too much of a good thing. Solo, thankfully is good thing. A fun, innocent goofy time at the movies. But don't expect anything more. I'd say making this Star Wars canon is pushing the envelope, but considering Jar-Jar Binks, the sky is the limit.
The origins of Han and Chewie were worth looking into. Alden Ehrenreich channels Harrison Ford, though not as rough around the edges. Donald Glover plays Lando and is just as suave as his predecessor Billy Dee Williams. Nearly all the other cast members do a great service and have a ton of fun.
