This origin story is the earliest of the saga. I thought it all lead into Rogue One, but it turns out that this film follows it. The high-action heist scene is great but there could have been a few more fight scenes with comic moments. The only character that provided this moment was L3-37, a droid perfectly capable of starting a rebellion. Still, the number of times that Solo got betrayed explains why the character is untrusting in later films. I thought that his closing line was a bit corny since it was coming from a kid himself. It’s a shame that Maul wasn’t revealed as the antagonist until the final scenes. I would have also liked to have learned how Qi’ra aided him. Lando hasn’t changed a bit though and I really enjoyed his collection of capes. Overall, there wasn’t much to shout about, though in context it might have made more sense. I suppose it’s a bit tricky when you’ve got to introduce four essential elements to the franchise but telling the story from different perspectives might have made more a more engaging story.
