Solo: A Star Wars Story Twitter reactions say everything you need to know about the movie…
Solo: A Star Wars Story is finally here, and boy was it loads of fun. It was nowhere near as heavy as Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which is precisely what we needed this go around. Alden Ehrenreich made the character of Han Solo his own, while Donald Glover was suave as hell portraying Lando Calrissian.
The film had many twists a turns along the way while providing fan service that flowed well with the story. Don’t take my word for it, with a wide variety of fans sounding off on Twitter following their initial viewing of Solo: A Star Wars Story.
The majority opinion for the movie is highly favorable, which makes sense because a portion of the “fans” are boycotting the Han Solo standalone film.
SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY was *way* better than the reviews had led me to believe, but then again I'm an unabashed #StarWars devotee.

Same here, Haroun. Same here. I wasn’t sure what to expect and was cautiously optimistic, but tremendously enjoyed this non-stop thrilling ride in a galaxy far, far away.
Spot on, Corey. Solo: A Star Wars Story (and Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo for that matter) stands on its own two feet. It does have a vibe from the old Legends adventures, which is exactly what the doctor ordered.
If you’re going to try to reboot the Star Wars saga in a different way than anyone has tried before you’d better deliver the goods. Solo: A Star Wars Story does exactly that. I think the magic key can be summed up in one word: casting. https://t.co/ImXWstdiUH #SoloAStarWarsStory pic.twitter.com/xYHybgk0EY

Lucasfilm hit the casting for Solo: A Star Wars Story out of the park.
Check your expectations at the door, indeed. The cameo referenced here will blow you away, showing the importance of the Star Wars extended canon universe — paying off tremendously for the hard-core fans.
If you are a Star Wars fan you need to go see Solo. The "Star Wars Story" movies are becoming the best parts of Star Wars and there is a great little surprise near the end!

The standalone Star Wars films are great compliments to the saga stories. I wouldn’t go as far to say they are the best aspects of Star Wars, but they are delivering the goods big time, for sure.
Solo: A Star Wars Story will make you feel like a riotous teenager all over again.

A bumbling, raucous, happy-good ole-time adventure, where you bring Dad's car home all busted up, and all you can do is smile. @RealRonHoward is a blessing for our Star Wars soul. #StarWars pic.twitter.com/1gwJXjV8SH
The tweet of the evening right here, summing up the film in a nutshell. Journeying alongside Han Solo will leave the Falcon all banged up (in a right way), allowing you to embrace why you fell in love with Star Wars a long, long time ago.
