As one who saw the original Star Wars in theaters, I appreciated this movie. The back story of how Han began as Han is intriguing. This movie is action from the beginning. In a word, FUN! I'm sure there are people out there who want a biopic movie about fictional characters and I am going to assume that the people who give this film low marks are just those individuals. Have we really lost our sense of "get lost in the movie" kind of adventure? The characters were believable. Lando's character was spot on down to his pronunciation of Han(d) as opposed to Ha(h)n. We meet Chewbacca and get a sense of how Han became a smuggler in the first place. This was a well done movie in what I hope becomes a series. My wife and I had a blast watching this and everyone I've talked to has also enjoyed the movie. Was it Saving Private Ryan? No. Was it fun, kind of like the original Star Wars (which by the way, was equally panned as cinematic fodder when it came out)? YES. Yes it was. Just watch it and have fun.
