Movie #1735 ........................."Solo: A Star Wars Story"

Movie #1735 "Solo"  is one we missed in the movie theatre (how dare we? being star wars fans) so we watched it  up here at the lake on the bigger screen  ( rather than the smallish one at home).  We found it very much fun to watch  --- disclaimer:  I am not a true true true stick- to- the- books kind of star wars fan, so I don't know how much they changed or deviated from the "plan" (whatever that is) , but I can judge it as a film and I would recommend it.  Why?  I thought it got back the spirit of the originals --- and the young guy playing Han had that smug sense of humor that we have come to be used to with the Solo character --- it was nice since the actor playing "chewy" died this year to see  a meet -cute scene with Chewbaca in this version.  I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for its entertainment value.
