Otherwise known as "When Han Met Chewy", this stand alone Star Wars film tells the early adventures of Han Solo and answers all the questions that have been on fans minds for years. Directed by Ron Howard, it is packed with action sequences galore and should satisfy any Star Wars fan.
It's impossible to fill the boots of Harrison Ford as Han Solo but Alden Ehrenreich does an admirable job portraying a young, optimistic, cocky version of the grizzled iconic character. Donald Glover plays the younger version of Lando Calrissian and he nails the character perfectly. Chewbacca is played by Joonas Suotamo, who took over the role in the last Star Wars film. New faces in the cast include Woody Harrison as Tobias Beckett, a thief and Han's mentor, Thandie Newton as his wife, Emilia Clarke as Qi'ra, Han's first love, Paul Betthany as Dryden Vos, a master criminal and the voices of Phoebe Waller- Bridge as L-7, Lando's Droid and Jon Favreau as Rio Durant, an alien member of Beckett's crew.
Written by Lawrence Kasdan and his son Jonathan, who have written or co-written most of the Star Wars films, they fill this story with even more strange worlds, exciting action and strong characters. Mr. Howard and his team bring it all to life. Creator George Lucas gives them the keys to the kingdom and they don't disappoint. A perfect popcorn movie to start the summer film season off right.
