Description

What sign is Han Solo?

With Matthew & Alex unavailable, solo host Erin dives deep into her unique perspective on Solo: A Star Wars Story, offering a fresh take on the controversial Star Wars film. Erin explores why this often-criticized film holds a special place in her heart.

Key Discussion Points:

Does Alden Ehrenreich capture Harrison Ford's Han Solo?

How does Qi'ra's character arc reflect the realities of survival? Erin explores the compelling dynamic between Han's romanticism and Qi'ra's pragmatic evolution.

Why does the Kessel Run sequence work so well? Erin breaks down how this legendary feat lives up to expectations through stunning visuals and character dynamics.

Other Topics Covered:

• The scene-stealing performance of Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian
• L3-37's revolutionary spirit and memorable quotes
• The significance of Enfys Nest's reveal and the early rebellion
• Clone Wars connections and Easter eggs throughout the film
• The complex mentor-mentee relationship between Beckett and Han
• The origin of Han and Chewie's iconic partnership
• Darth Maul's surprise appearance and implications
• And the most important question of all - what sign is Han Solo?

In conclusion, Erin makes a compelling case for Solo as an entertaining space western that, while perhaps not perfectly aligned with Han's original trilogy character, offers enough thrilling sequences and compelling character moments to stand on its own merits. She suggests it might be the perfect Star Wars film to introduce casual fans to the broader universe.

Matthew would like to register a word of protest that he is NOT old enough to have ever loved Celine Deon.
