    If Ron Howard and team hit these plot points/characterizations/moments I will be in love with this movie:

    1. The Han-Chewie relationship. I want the full story on how they meet, what the circumstances are, and how they form such a special bond. This is a cornerstone of the movie in my opinion.

    2. The Falcon. It is so iconic, it is almost another "character". This special ship needs special attention in the backstory, etc. The long trailer opening and subsequent cutscene give me hope with the coordinated flipping of switches leading into the theme.

    3. Lando. Need good backstory, such a great character loved by all.

    4. Han. Obviously everyone will be laser focused on Ehrenreich. I just want a young Han Solo's mannerisms, characterization, etc. Not looking for how closely he resembles Harrison Ford....

    I'm not looking for big space battle(s), etc, (what I normally want in a SW movie), I want a space-based "heist" themed movie with the main character learning some along the way.....to lead into the Han we know in A New Hope.

    What is everyone else looking for?

    A fun movie that captures and gives insight to Han's character.

    Plus an appropriately large amount of Chewie. We need more Chewie.

    I really don’t have any expectations for this film (which is good so I won’t be disappointed) all I want is cool visuals and some funny moment, great characters and action.

    So nothing specific I just want to be entertained

    Well other then a fun 2 + hours.......A happy ending. Not a cliffhanger. Not a passing the torch to "nobodies" ending. Not an ending with a cgi character.

    Just a happy ending.

    Well usually I'm not very invested in exactly how a character I know will act in a new film they are going to be in, as I'm pretty open minded to what they have become. But I'm a huge Han Solo fan and have been since I was a kid. I was always a Solo guy over Luke. So I'm hoping Disney keeps him as pompous as he was in Ep4 and Ep5. I'm expecting a more optimistic Han Solo as he is younger, and I'm hoping the movie will show why he's kinda cranky in his older years. As we know Han's life has kinda been a tough one, mostly due to his choices

    I want a fun movie that shows us a side of the galaxy that we haven't seen yet.

    This film is not bound by the Jedi like the saga ones are. It doesn't even have a strong commitment to the Galactic Civil War, like Rogue One did.

    Every choice in Solo can be one that ultimately leads to a better movie.

    Oh, and I want to see lots of Bounty Hunters. Dengar, Bossk, 4-LOM, Zuckuss, IG-88, Greedo, and hopefully Cad Bane, too. Boba Fett is welcome in moderation.

    There isn't a character in this movie that isn't a 'nobody'.

    As for the original question, I want a fun adventure and to dive deeper into Han/Chewie relationship, that's all in terms of content. Also, a well made movie.

    Yes looks like we all agree on the Han/Chewie relationship. Hoping that Ron Howard will deliver on that aspect.

    For it to be revealed as a fake movie for an ad campaign for Australian tourism like that Dundee super bowl ad.

    I believe more in Kasdan in this case. I have high hopes.

    What I want from this Story?
    I want it to take me to a place that ain't the 'modern' day world.
    And bein' that it's Star Wars ?
    I'm fair certain it'll do just that.
    No more(but more is Good).
    No less.

    I'm looking forward to seeing "glimpses" of the Han we all know currently, and how he came to be who he is.

    Going to be really fun to see "..what's that?" <gulp> turn into "I'm Han Solo, captain of the Millenium Falcon."

    Exactly! I know a lot of people are worried Alden won't "be" Han, but I don't want that Han until the end of the movie anyway. I want to see character development and growth- and in the end, I hope Alden truly embodies Han, even if only for the last few minutes.
