Solo reaction post and a fic

[igrockspock]

I saw the Solo movie this weekend, and I was surprised by how much I liked it (although that isn't saying a lot, since my expectations were very low). It felt like fan fic to me, but in a good way, like someone really wanted a heist movie about these characters and got to make one. The actor who plays Han is bland and kind of awkward, but I am a sucker for lost people looking for family in all the wrong places, so it worked for me.


I find it kind of hilarious that Han was basically living the Little Orphan Annie life at the beginning, and I've had "Hard Knock Life" in my head for almost a whole day, both the musical version and the Jay Z version.

Since I was sad that I won't have time to finish the elaborate treat I planned for Fandom 5K, I consoled myself by writing a little character study of Qi'Ra instead. Mind the spoilers.

When I read my first couple reviews of Solo I said to my people, "This is fan fiction." Part of me is delighted to see a fanfic movie and part of me figures I can wait till I can watch it on cable with a 6-pack.

I went in not expecting a whole lot, either, and I did end up liking it a lot. Maybe more for the supporting characters than Han himself, but it was still much better than what so many people were predicting it would be (and your fic was great, btw!)
