My solo review

I loved this character. Whats her name?

My favorite Chewie is the one from TFA. A lot of screen time, funny and heroic.

 

I'm still having a hard time accepting Han's Ability to speak Shyriiwook.
Yeah it kinda worked for the Story, but it could've been solved so much better.
Ehrenreich was a Surprise. I didn't know him prior to this Movie and i didn't expect much, but i have to admit he did a pretty alright job. And playing a Han Solo is a hell of a Job.

 

Yeah I don’t know why so many people hate him in that role

 

Because most people don't know how to separate a chracters from the actors.

 

I think most people who actually saw the movie enjoyed him enough. Crybaby fans are always the loudest.

Yep. So many people I know (friends, family, co-workers) just flat out refused to see the movie when it came out because Harrison wasn't in it. Alden was great. He wasn't a Harrison Ford look-alike, he just made the role his own and he brought it. I accepted it would be a new guy and a new take before I watched it...no different from a James Bond... or Obi-Wan Kenobi for that matter.

 

Solo is simply fantastic! One if my very favorite Star Wars movies period! If not THE favorite.

 

I agree, that moment took me out off the movie, I didn't like that it was played for a joke.

 

@Apollus08 I would love to see what you're thought are....

 

I liked Aden Ehrenreich's performance in Solo. I thought he did a really solid job.

Personally, if I were in charge of casting for Solo, I would've cast someone between the ages of 18-24 years old to play the younger Han Solo who was supposed to be 19-22. I believe Alden was 28-29 years old during Solo production and release. And yes, some movies pull off the character/actor age difference without anyone noticing.

I believe many people's problems with Alden as Han Solo may have been rooted in the fact that he looks the same age as Harrison Ford in ANH.

Basically, he just needed to be a little younger. Think Young Indiana Jones.

 

Because the Lord Harrison Ford played him earlier. We must bow down to Ford’s greatness.

 

Does he thought? Alden in Solo looked 5-10 younger, than Ford in ANH. It's just that he didn't look like a younger Ford, but hey.

 

'We should've had an actor who looked like Harrison Ford. It totally ruined the movie that we didn't.'

Yes. That there is the stupidest friggin' critique I hear about TV & film projects, and it is SO very prevalent! "The actor playing Lucy/Luna Lovegood/Tyrion isn't ugly enough"... "Gunslinger Roland can't be black"... "Harry Potter's eyes are green, not blue!!!"

I mean, what? People would litterally rather have lookalikes play their favorite characters than actual actors, and that boggles the mind something fierce.

Alden Ehrenreich was a fantastic Han Solo!

 

Something you never hear in stage theater...

In fairness it's not played as just a joke. It serves as a way for Han to disarm Chewie and endear himself to him, as well as provide a way to communicate a plan without the guards above overhearing and understanding what it is.

But yes - it feels very much like a "Mary Sue" moment! Or should that be a "Gary Stu"?

At least a lot of Rey's abilities can be inferred from her upbringing on Jakku. But of all the languages Han could have picked up living on Coruscant, why on earth would the language of the Wookiees be one of them? We need that back story in a prequel now!

 

I of course meant Corellia and not Coruscant.

I'll get my coat.

 

Yep. Completely unsanctimonious. Love him.
