Solo: A Star Wars Story - 8/10
This was so much better than I had expected! Honestly it's better than The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi...not quite up there with Rogue One, but I'd say it's pretty close. So I think my current ranking is 5, Rogue One, Solo, 4, 6, 7, 8, 3, 2, 1...but I'd almost put 4 after 7. I'd consider myself a Star Wars fan, even if not a big one, but honestly, most of the Star Wars movies are not very good. Anywho, they do cover quite a but in a short amount of time, and it does probably rely a lot on nostalgia (hey, wanna see how Han met Chewie? Hey, wanna see how Han met Lando? Hey, wanna see how Han got the Falcon? etc.) but they actually pulled it off in a really cohesive manner. Of course one of the best parts is the cameo of the character who you would absolutely not expect to make a cameo - Darth Maul. I really hope this character shows up in another spin-off movie, and one of the rumored ones would actually be a perfect fit. It's not just awesome for being a cameo from that character, but from the implications of that what follows. I was going into this expecting to have the same view at the end as UncleBob, but I wholeheartedly disagree. Aiden Ehrenreich is not Harrison Ford, and he doesn't make an attempt to play that version of Han - but he does a really good job on his own and does bring in a few of his mannerisms (banter with Chewie, the way he holds his blaster, etc.), I was impressed especially after all the stuff I read on the internet. If you're on the fence, go see it.
