Could also be subtitled "How we made the Kessel Run in less than 12 par secs"
This one was a fun movie. Actually, aside from the fact that I felt the absence of John Williams' scoring talents and the Wilhelm scream, this chapter fits nicely into the original series. Almost as if it had been directed by Lucus himself. The movie is fun, in my opinion, because -- unlike Rogue One it doesn't seem to be trying too hard (face it some of the RO Easter eggs were so blatantly obvious they were painful).
As with Rogue One, they have done away with the famous Star Wars opening info crawl, but like a properly done chapter of the saga, they drop you pretty much right into the thick of things as we see the hands of someone (yeah, favorite scoundrel in hot water -- per usual LOL) hot-wiring a speeder to escape.
Never once did Han use the phrase "Its not my fault!" (maybe next time?)
Felt they slightly over-used the phrase "I know" (only saw the movie once, no I did not keep count -- maybe drinking game when it hits the shelves?)
Yes, we see how Han and Lando meet. We also see how Han and Chewie meet. And, I think we may have even met Chewie's father Lumpy. If only briefly.
Yes, I would recommend this to old and new fans.
And Disney need to stop the crying because this movie didn't make almost a billion dollars on its first week.
