reviews so far are mostly good. The main issue is the start is slow. Donald Glover as Lando is the favorite as many people expected.

Dude on reddit, just figured out the dumbest plot twist they could do. It’s so terrible…but Disney would never have the guts anyway. > [@](#): > > Han Solo dies at the end and then wax CGI Harrison Ford appears from the shadows, picks up Alden Ehrenreich’s smuggler’s vest, smuggler’s pants, and smuggler’s pistol and picks through his wallet. “I guess my new identity will be… Han Solo.” Ouch, that would suck. ---

From what I can tell, the rough consensus is “good, not great”, with Glover and a new droid character as standouts. ---

So I was browsing the headlines at Google News and in the “entertainment” section there are two stories with a fucking spoiler for Solo on its opening day! A weird one, too. Apparently Darth Maul shows up at the end? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/han-solo-prequel-planned/724607.md?page=10)
