I took the kids to see it tonight. Yeah, pretty good, once it gets going. The first 15 mins or so are a bit clunky, especially the dialogue, but it settles down.
Characters were decent - Beckett, Qira and Dryden Vos (sp. ?) served their purposes and were given enough to do. Donald Glover was great as Lando, I just wish we had’ve seen a bit more of him.
Han and Chewie’s introduction worked well, and the dynamic between was good. Fair play to Alden Ehrenreich - I definitely don’t think he has the charm and charisma of Harrison Ford (who does?), but he did a decent job with the character.
Oh, and *that* cameo. I’m glad I didn’t read the tiny letters further up this thread. Initially, I’m not really sure it was a good idea, but I’ll take some time to process it.
All things considered, not wonderful, but decent, and definitely not the train wreck it could have been.
And to answer my own question from before: yes, I think there’s enough to build on for another movie or two.
