I've
been losing some interest in the Star Wars movies lately (especially
after the recent release), but the recent Solo movie trailers really
grabbed my attention. I've been thinking about the reason for this
rekindling of interest in Star Wars. It certainly isn't the iconic
universe, the starship battles, the gun fights and lightsaber
battles—I've seen that so many times through all the movies that
it's just standard fare now. What is it about the Solo movie that
interested me? It was entirely the character, Han Solo. The roguish
smuggler is an anti-hero: he doesn't have standard heroic qualities
like courage, idealism, or much concern for anyone else but himself.
Despite that, though, is there anyone who doesn't like his character?
We love his attitude, resourcefulness, wit, and his ability to
somehow survive using whatever means possible. An entire movie based
on Han Solo could potentially be one of the best Star Wars movies
yet!
