Solo was a great movie that suffered the fallout from The Last Jedi. Approach it as a fun sci-fi action adventure and not as Star Wars and you'll have a good time.
Solo was okay. Great for world building outside of the bog standard "how many lightsabers can we show off?" not so great for being able to tell what's going on in any scene not shot outside.
There was way to much "memberberry" stuff crammed into it - it tried way to hard and spent way to much time trying to to explain and give a backstory to every single small detail about Han.
It's like some Disney employe made a freaking Excel spreadsheet about every single detail we know about Han Solo from the OT, and then forced the writers to use it as a checklist, with a demand that they better check at least 80% of the boxes...
Oh yeah, "great" was purely subjective, being packed with details is that movies strength and most of them are shoehorned or entirely pointless altogether. Its all window dressing to a poorly lit cash grab.
It's the Kasdan's and Ron Howard's homage to Harrison Ford's career. Not kidding. There's bits from every movie Ford has ever done in that movie from Hot Rods to being a Fugitive. Next time you watch it, keep that in the back of your mind. It'll click.
