As if there were ever any doubt :-p The premier of Solo: A Star Wars Story took place a couple of days ago and tweets coming out of that initial screening (all spoiler free) seem mostly consistent with the film being described as a fun, exciting jaunt through some of the rougher areas of the galaxy, diving into the depths of the underworld in a manner no other film has quite gone before.
The BBC compile a selection of those messages.
Writer and producer Adam Goldberg says it “delivers in every way”.
“Funny, suspenseful, emotional, a truly epic origin story,” he raves. “If this film doesn’t make your heart happy, then just give up on watching movies.”
Yahoo Entertainment senior correspondent Kevin Polowy also had a lot of time for Waller-Bridge, saying L3 might be his favourite new character.
He described it as “a straight intergalactic heist movie”, with Ehrenreich “super impressive as Han”.
David Daniel said it “hits the beats it needs to, provides plenty of flying and fighting action, and especially delivers on the Han-Chewie relationship”.
He adds that Glover is “as cool as expected” and that Waller-Bridge is “an absolute delight”.
For the rest of us the film is just over 12 days away, and stay tuned to Fantha Tracks and the soon-to-launch Fantha Tracks Radio for our coverage of the film.
