**Warning! May contain spoilers, but I don't think so**

Watched the Solo movie last night. Did not really care so much for it, probably rank it down with Revenge of the Sith and the other prequels. The Solo actor's performance was tiresome at first and got a bit better, but still around Anakin level acting. Chewbacca got to flex his muscles, which was pretty cool. Emelia Clarke was gorgeous as per usual, her part was one of the better ones. Woody was decent, but he was kind of confusing when wearing Lando's helmet from RotJ, Lando himself was played quite well, his mannerisms and cadence was close to Billy Dee's. The villain was so generic and forgettable, he might have never been there at all, maybe I hallucinated it. The betrayal scene was so horrendously predictable, I nearly stopped watching. In the end the 'hero' walks into the sunset and credits roll. I would have thought much better writing from the Kasdan's and Ron Howard was the wrong director for this project.

An early Expanded Universe (EU) novel, <i>Shadows of the Empire</i> is really all but Star Wars episode 5.5 in all but name, taking place as it does between the events of <i>The Empire Strikes Back</i> and <i>Return of the Jedi</i>.

Starting with a familiar scene from <i>The Empire Strikes back</i> (at least, it was familiar until Lucas changed it!) but viewed from a different angle, the novel is also unusual in that Vader is actually one of the main protagonists, with he and Prince Xivor (the head of the criminal organization Black Sun) struggling for The Emperor's approval.

With Han Solo frozen in carbonite - indeed, the first attempts to rescue him form one of the main plot strands of the novel - this also introduces Dash Rendar: a character who, if I'm honest, is really all but Han Solo in name.

The novel also provides a little more background into some of the events mentioned in <i>Return of the Jedi</i>, in particular how come "Many Bothans dies to bring us this information ..."
