Young Han Solo finds adventure when he joins forces with a gang of galactic smugglers and a 190-year-old Wookie named Chewbacca. Indebted to the gangster Dryden Vos, the crew devises a daring plan to travel to the mining planet Kessel to steal a batch of valuable coaxium. In need of a fast ship, Solo meets Lando Calrissian, the suave owner of the perfect vessel for the dangerous mission -- the Millennium Falcon.

Critics Consensus

A flawed yet fun and fast-paced space adventure, Solo: A Star Wars Story should satisfy newcomers to the saga as well as longtime fans who check their expectations at the theater door.

What's onscreen simply isn't magical enough. It might please die-hard fans to know how Han got the last name or how he made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs...But I think even they might be disappointed.

3/4

A scruffy nerf herder in a "galaxy far, far, away..." Solo: A Star Wars Story, a movie that has no reason to exist, is a fun lovable escapade that gives us a new introduction to the most famous non-Skywalker in the galaxy.

The film has several fun moments and plods to a satisfying, if mundane conclusion, which was surprising in and of itself. But, should we be giving it credit just because it wasn’t an awful mess.

3/5

Succeeding frequently with several exciting and well-conceived action sequences and a bevy of rich supporting characters to enjoy, "Solo: A Star Wars Story" still has an inescapable ceiling.

7/10

The character’s claims of the Kessel Run make much more sense now that we saw how he accomplished it. Solo: A Star Wars Story is a good film, although it does have its flaws.
