Solo, the latest edition to the Star Wars canon is solid, entertaining fare that satisfies but also feels somewhat inconsequential. This story concerns itself with the backstory of Han Solo, played with gusto by the charismatic Harrison Ford in the original Star Wars films. Relative newcomer Alden Ehrenreich is serviceable in the role but never soars. He lacks that certain star power to truly convince. There is star power here though as Donald Glover and Emilia Clarke shine in their roles but ultimately the story feels a bit routine. Which is Solo battling and struggling to carve out a niche in the war ridden Empire. Of course he manages to escape several dicey situations and there are big action sequences with a slew of special effects, but nothing ever gives you the wow factor. There are some nice new characters and it all moves at a good pace as you would expect with Ron Howard at the helm. But I think I just expected a little more bang for the buck.
