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.
