Just when
you were starting to think that Star Wars
should bugger off to a galaxy far, far away for a long time, along comes Solo: A Star Wars Story. With the
underwhelming The Force Awakens (which
fans considered to be “too safe”) and the hugely-divisive The Last Jedi (which fans considered to be “too risky”), the latest
non-episodic entry is a welcome break from lightsabers. In fact, let’s jump
straight into hyperspace – it’s the best Star
Wars movie since fan-favourite The
Empire Strikes Back. While, in all honesty, that isn't saying much considering what's come since then, it's a statement that’s bound to trigger some upset among those
very-hard-to-please fans nonetheless. But hey, it isn’t Star
Wars without a little controversy, right?
