Seen it twice.

Has some good references to some of the first 6 films.
It is worth watching, but it's not the best SW film that you'll see, because it feels a little disjointed.
I enjoyed it though and the actor who's playing Solo has signed up for 3 films I believe and that's a good thing.

It felt like the point to me where Disney truly have jumped from trying to continue the franchise in a meaningful manner to simply operating a massive cash grab. Rogue One, the other of these side story movies from Disney, was excellent and really expanded on a story we knew of but hadn’t seen, this felt like fluff in comparison.

It’s not disastrous, it’s just totally needless and the only blank it fills in is one that frankly really annoyed me and wasn’t required (I won’t mention what that is other than to say it’s related to Han’s name). There is also the most annoying character since Jar Jar Binks (a droid that is a feminist/equal rights campaigner...no I’m not joking). Lando is good however.

So should you see it? Sure I guess? It’s not the worst thing and is a fun enough waste of two hours, but it really is just a massively pointless movie - coming from (as my name may suggest...) a very big Star Wars fan.
