Great Bonus Features Add to My Enjoyment of This Action Comedic Prequel!

- Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2018I very much enjoyed this movie, though I'll admit I'm the only one in the family who gives it five stars – most hover around 4. But how can I not like a Ron Howard movie, not to mention: 1) an action movie, 2) how Solo got his last name, 3) why Solo wasn't sure Lando would greet him with friendliness, 4) how Solo and Chewie met, 5) what is a Kessel Run, 6) Lando's capes! Not to mention scenes that harken back to the original film trio, such as: "This is a thermal detonator."
In Bonus Feature E, Ron Howard says, "One of the things that really interested me about this story is that it's about a person choosing an outlaw's life. And it's really important for this young guy to quickly understand that this life of thievery is not romantic."
If you buy it on disc, you have many options for languages and subtitles:
Languages – English, English Descriptive Audio, French
Subtitles – English, French, Dutch, Danish, Suomi, Norwegian, Syenska
I LOVE Bonus Features, especially if they give me insights into the director's plan for the movie and "making of" scenes. With BluRay, you get a whole 2nd disc of Bonus Features, which have even more subtitle options – English, CESKE, Nederlands, French, German, Magyar, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, and two more (I cannot, unfortunately, read the characters).
BONUS FEATURES:
....A... "Solo: The Director & Art Roundtable" (22 minutes) After filming, Ron Howard (director) asks 8 actors to join him at a roundtable (actually an octagon) to discuss the movie. Commentators include Alden Ehrenreich (plays Han), Donald Glover (plays Lando Calrissian), Joonas Suotamo (plays Chewbacca), Emilia Clarke (plays Qi'ra), Phoebe Waller-Bridge (plays L3-37), Thandie Newton (plays Val), Woody Harrelson (plays Tobias Beckett) and Paul Bettany (plays Dryden Vos). Everybody was over the moon, including Howard, when George Lucas visited the set, and challenged Ron to a game of dejarik = holo-chess.
Howard asks, Who inspired you for your role? Thandie replies, "There was a woman who grew up in Zimbabwe in the Colonial Era, and, who, in the 70s ... was part of the independent struggle in Zimbabwe. She left because members of her friendship group had been assassinated because of the struggles. She found herself in England when she was in a really difficult, sometimes racist environment. She struggled through that, she raised a family. And that was my mom."
....B... "Kasdan on Kasdan" (8 minutes) New commentators include Lawrence Kasdan (producer/cowriter), Kathleen Kennedy (president Lucas Film), Jonathan Kasdan (cowriter). Larry Kasdan wrote three Star Wars franchise movies, and, as Kennedy says, "knows Han Solo better than anybody." He returned to work with his son, Jon, to write this movie.
....C... "Remaking the Millennium Falcon" (5 minutes) New commentators include Lee Sandales (set decorator), James Clyne (design supervisor), John Swartz (producer), Liam Georgensen (asst. art director), Neil Lamont (production designer) and Alistair Bullock (art director). As Donald Glover notes, "The Falcon in this movie is brand new."
....D... "Escape From Corella" (10 minutes) New commentators include Simon Emanuel (producer), Rob Bredow (special effects supervisor, producer), Gary Tomkins (art director), Ben Collins (stunt performer) and Matthew Samway (ILM). The Corella world was created new, because it is only mentioned in dialogue in Episode V. As much as possible of the car chase on Corella was done for real rather than special effects. Really enjoyed how they made and ran the stolen speeder. Tomkins says they used stuff like baguette warmers from a local supermarket and a refueling nose cone of a military jet.
.....E... "The Train Heist" (14 minutes) New commentators include Paul Marsh (senior model maker), Nick Fulton (Italy production manager), Bradford Young (director photography) and Charles Jellis (action vehicles chargehand). The background snow scenes were filmed in the Italian mountains. Fulton, "We managed to get 250 people up here, and a Wookie. Getting that amount of people on top of a mountain brings its own challenges. So we built roads as far as we an, and then operating the four helicopters bringing people in and out."
....F... "Team Chewie" (7 minutes) New commentators include Tim Nielsen (sound editor and designer) and Maria Cork (supervising animatronic designer). Per Nielsen, Chewie "is introduced as a man-eating beast with this massive roar.... The main recording of Chewbacca is a bear that Ben Burtt, the original sound designer, recorded many many years ago."
....G... "Becoming a Droid: L3-37" (5 minutes) New commentators include T J Falls (visual effects producer) and Karin Cooper (digital artist supervisor). It is marvelous how they filmed Waller-Bridge and illustrates why the robot's movements are so human-like.
....H... "Scoundrels, Droids, Creatures and Cards: Welcome to Fort Ypso" (8 minutes) New commentator Neil Scanlon (creature effects). The Lodge is the "tough seedy bar" where Han meets Lando, and joins the card game of Sabaac.
....I... "Into the Maelstrom: The Kessel Run" (7 minutes) Jonathan Kasdan quotes Han in the first Star Wars movie, "This is the ship that made the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs." He continues, "That is a nonsensical statement. A parsec is a unit of distance, not a unit of speed. So, what did he mean when he said that?" The movie explains.
Tim Nielsen on his work on the Kessel Run: "Coaxium canisters are about to explode, so that was really fun trying to figure out what's the sound of these decaying metal canisters. I saw this video on youtube years ago of somebody dropping a Gummi Bear into potassium chlorate. It causes the Gummi Bear to spontaneously combust." Voila!
....J... "Delted Scenes" (6 minutes) Eight deleted scenes, including how Han got into the Imperial Infantry in the first place.
I have such a good time watching this prequel!

- Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2025I loved it
- Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2018I was very reluctant about watching this movie. Yet after finally doing so I can say 'Yes, it is a Star Wars movie' (Definition of a Star Wars movie meaning that its a movie worthy of carrying the Star Wars name and franchise.) I enjoyed it much more than 'The Last Jedi'. I will also say that as Star Wars stand alone movies go, Rogue One is still better.
I caught myself going into a in-depth gripe about Lucasfilm, Disney, and how movies are generally made nowadays. I will spare you all from that, as that is not the point here. Getting back on topic, I gave 4 Stars because:
1) Its better than The Last Jedi (anything in my book is better than The Last Jedi. Heck, even Episode II and that Wookie Holiday special aired way back in history are better than The Last Jedi)!
2) It included the Kessel Run (Not how I envisioned what the Kessel Run was, but that is what happen when everything that was left to the imagination, is no longer left to the imagination.)
3) We find out characters we know are not without their kinks. (*cough* Lando! *cough*)
4) The brief appearance of Maul
The major complaint I have (being a life long Star Wars fan since '77) was that Han Solo was not played by Harrison Ford. The actor portraying Han Solo in this one did not do a bad job, but I just can't visualize anyone else other than Han Solo being played by none other than Harrison Ford. Yeah I know, this was about Solo's origins and earlier life before Episode IV, and it would be inconceivable to have HF in this one as Han (Though a brief cameo of Ford as another character would have been cute)...anyway, point is, it reminds me of mortality in general when seeing another actor play a character I loved since age 5
And FINALLY (just to air my thoughts on the subject): Han nor Greedo shot first, because only Han fired a shot! (Be rid of this 'who shot first' crap!)
- Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2024Bought this from my home system and it was a fun movie to watch. The process was easy to do.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2024Great addition to my collection
- Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2024No, Rogue One is even better than the Original from 1977….Solo, however answers tons of questions for 4-6, right down to his name, heartbreaking it is….and pay close attention at the end (spoiler alert) I swear I’m in a cantina with Greedo chatting with Han. The big question did Han shoot first meaning he kills to survive, buy Solo and you will see, last spoiler, it’s subtle and sublime, Han chooses to be an outlaw yet he gives all the power to the origins of the Rebellion which means Han enables the insurgency to explode onto your screen in Rogue One.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mejor película fan service sub valorada por el fandom
Si de verdad quieres saber más, esta película incluye (ademas del conocido final y la famosa y gran carrera de kessel) un sin número de referencias hacia galaxy’s edge en Disney! Un clásico para un fan de Star Wars que gusta ver más allá de lo que le han impuesto o si las historias no han cumplido sus expectativas.

5.0 out of 5 stars gros coup de coeur
pourquoi ce film n'a pas marché? Je pense que les gens sont trop attachés à Harrison Ford et Eiden Ehrenreich ne lui ressemble pas assez?
On a ici une aventure qui respecte l'univers, avec les bas fonds de Corellia, le monde en guerre Corida, la planète marécage Mimban, Vandor et l'attaque du train, Kessel et la mine de coaxium, le désert de Savareen, Numidian la tropicale, tous étant bien intégrés dans l'univers, avec des stormtrooper, contrebandiers, races extraterrestres ...
Les personnages principaux sont extra : Han, Qi-Ra, Beckett, Chewbacca, L3-37, Dryden Vos, avec en guest Lando Calrissian, Anthony Daniel, Ray Park et Warwick Davis ; les acteurs principaux sont très attachants et charismatiques. Les références à l'univers sont nombreuses, comme comment Han a gagné le Faucon millénaire, le Kessel run en 12 parsecs.
L'histoire se tient bien, avec Han qui va devoir prouver sa valeur ou tromper l'ennemi (ou essayer), la rencontre avec Chewbacca, l'équipage de Beckett qui va perdre quelques membres - et montrer au jeune Han qu'il ne faut pas trop s'attacher. Et Qi-Ra, femme qui partage beaucoup de qualités avec Leïa, excellemment jouée par Emilia Clarke, qui n'arrive pas à avouer les choses qu'elle a faite dans le Crimson Dawn mais se range du côté de Han quand elle peut. Et très grand regret de ne pas voir évoluer le personnage dans Solo 2 que nous ne verrons jamais.
Donc un grand plaisir à voir ce film et tristesse qu'il n'ait pas marché au box office.

AristoteleReviewed in Italy on November 25, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars il film è bello, qualità video e audio mediocre
Ho acquistato la versione 3D perchè appassionato di 3D (possiedo un proiettore con matrice nativa 4K d'alta qualità e luminosità, adoro i prodotti 3D).
Catena Audio con pre e finali Krell.
Purtroppo l'audio italiano non è disponibile.
C'è la traccia inglese, polacca e tedesca. L'inglese in DTS ( fondamentalmente mediocre, purtroppo, piatto e ben poco dinamico) che è l'unica che ho usato per via del fatto che conosco bene questa sola lingua delle tre.
Da quanto ne so non esiste una versione italiana in 3D (come sempre più spesso accade da anni) e questo è davvero triste, perchè se è vero che la lingua inglese per me non rappresenta un problema è anche vero che andrà a finire che godrò della visione di questo disco sempre da solo (...)
il 3D non è molto evidente. Alcuni passaggi sono lievemente più riusciti della media in termini qualitativi (definitivamente piuttosto bassi).
La maggior parte delle scene è scura. Il mio proiettore è di fascia top, con una profondità nelle ombre "proverbiale" (per essere un digitale, beninteso) per cui alla fine riesco a godere l'intero film, ma immagino che con proiettori meno "generosi" in apertura delle ombre questo film si possa godere ben poco.
Per quanto riguarda la qualità video direi in definitiva che si tratti d'un bluray mediocre (naturalmente ho visionato anche la versione 2D, scarsa in termini di contrasto e dettaglio come la versione 3D).
Il contenuto filmico invece è del tutto piacevole e pienamente godibile: uno spin-off riuscito sotto ogni punto di vista.
Un minimo di spoiler (parziale): a parte gli elementi Han Solo, Chewbecca, Lando e Millenium Falcon si potrebbe considerare un film del tutto autonomo, pienamente godibile al di fuori del ciclo di Star Wars.
La storia è consistente, gli effetti speciali spettacolari, i colpi di scena non mancano, la storia sentimentale del protagonista è sviluppata degnamente e gli attori sono all'altezza della situazione, sempre.
Il film lo considero da otto pieno, uno dei migliori acquisti di quest'anno, indubbiamente.
