Huh?I like how this movie retroactively takes away from Leia's badassey, as the writer explained.

Interesting, I thought it was fun and breezy, assumed it would still be so.Watched this again.
Doesn't hold up very well.

I'll probably pick up the DVD at some point and give it a rewatch.
Is it really that much different? Lived on the streets, joined the Academy, left when he rescued Chewbacca, met Lando and went on adventures. I think the difference is Han's story is fleshed out across plenty of books in the EU, including a dedicated trilogy, whereas we had just one film to get through it all; the difference between short- and long-form storytelling, I guess.Question:
Does anybody think the new Han origins is an improvement on original EU?

Han's overall origin in the books is better because they have more freedom to write longer stories. But I quite liked the Han and Chewie meeting in the movie. Hard to say if it's better or worse, just different. Bringing it down to individual plot beats isn't really fair.Is that your answer, to not answer?
The original Chewbacca meeting and fleeing the Empire was superior.

Agreed, the 'Solo' call was terrible. Went from just being a cool name to a poor play on words.

I wasn't watching with as much attention as I should have been but I think it seemed to get worse the 2nd time unfortunately.Interesting, I thought it was fun and breezy, assumed it would still be so.

Watched this again last night; still largely enjoyed it. It's hardly subtle, but I actually enjoyed the spaceport scene at the beginning, it manages a little world-building the families being separated in the background, showing a government becoming harsher, falling apart, corruption sneaking in. Still liked the Han and Chewie introduction. Hearing that Lord and Miller created that scene makes me intrigued for what they could have made.
The beats that missed still miss: the name, Maul, L3 at first (though Kessel is not so bad). It does feel a little drawn out and Lando is underused.
