always tough to call a STAR WARS movie after the 1st viewing and i’ll feel better about saying my piece after that all important 2nd one.

however my first impression was a good one. a lot of folk have been crying out for a movie featuring the complex and dark underbelly of the setting, in which Solo is firmly rooted. Seeing Crimson Dawn introduced to the movies was a good move, would have been easy to just go with the Hutts but they took the opportunity to introduce the tangled web that is the STAR WARS underworld. this really opens up the story telling potential and has me more than a little excited.

I’d like to say well done to Alden and Donald for taking on the impossible task, talk about a tough act to follow. i wasn’t taken out of the experience at any point and was at ease with their take on two such legendary characters.

so much to say and so little time to say it, i’ll be back over the bank holiday to say more.
