A solid 3.5/5 movie. You should enjoy yourself.
A lot of reviews said the opening act was wobbly, which I didn't really get. I thought the movie was pretty even throughout.
Literally didn't care that Alden Ehreneich wasn't Harrison Ford. Something I just didn't pay attention to.
Loved Woody Harrelson in this. A highlight of the film.
Heart of the movie - very much Han and Chewie.
Random comments:
- The Mimban scenes were striking.
- Surprised how quickly they killed off Beckett's team. Good work, it made the work look dangerous, because it is.
- L3-37 was a lot of fun. Would've liked to see more of her. Sad to see her go.
- Darth Maul, holy shit. In his Rebels reincarnation and everything - voiced by Sam Witwer? It sounded like Sam Witwer.
- Han shot first!
- The Lando Calrissian chronciles -that got a big laugh

And holy shit - so many Easter Eggs / references. Very much a SW nerd's film.
What didn't I like? Not a lot. My biggest complaint is that man it was so dark a lot of the time. As in - hard to see. Would've liked some brighter scenery. Except Mimban, where it was perfect and thematically appropriate. The big train action sequence was well lit too. But the other parts? Jesus, turn up the lights.
Also, the least effective action sequence: Just before they left Kessel was pretty dull. They just stand around shooting people around the Falcon, it wasn't very interesting or well put together (in marked contrast to the train) and should've been cut for time.
