I watched this movie again today for the first time since I saw it in theaters, and I think the film gets a bum rap. It’s considered one of the weakest of the _Star Wars_ films, but I actually really liked it.

I dug L3-37 and Lando’s crush on her, and the droid’s status as a social justice warrior. I loved the Kessel Run scene. I enjoyed all the double-crosses, and Dryden’s lightsaber brass knuckles.

I loved the scene in which Han and Chewie first met and “fake-fought” to escape their captivity.

And how about that appearance by Erin Kelleyman as the leader of the “marauders”, a full three years or so before she played the bad guy in _The Falcon and the Winter Soldier_?

This one deserves a second look.

Or a first look, for anyone who’s read so much bad press that they didn’t see it, and their expectations are low.

It’s fun! Right from the beginning, I got swept up in the action and characters (Woody! Chewie! Donald!) and never once worried about how this or that would fit into future SW films.
