Better than expected
I was apprehensive to watch this one as Han Solo is my favorite Star Wars character. I thought it would not be done very well. I was pleasantly surprised. While not the best Star Wars movie out there, it holds it's own and does justice to the characters it portrays. With plenty of action, cool effects and a decent "origins" storyline this movie didn't disappoint me. Fun for the whole family and a film any fan of the franchise should enjoy. Worth a watch.

Final part of [a:Chuck Wendig|17152|Chuck Wendig|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1294919586p2/17152.jpg]'s Aftermath trilogy of novel (starting with [b:Aftermath|25131600|Aftermath (Star Wars Aftermath, #1)|Chuck Wendig|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1426620007s/25131600.jpg|44828548] and continuing with [b:Aftermath: Life Debt|26895161|Aftermath Life Debt (Star Wars Aftermath, #2)|Chuck Wendig|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1449268300s/26895161.jpg|47250982] before finishing with this) that kicked off Disney's 'new' Extended Universe Star Wars novels, this also fixes many of the problem with the earlier entries - [b:Aftermath|25131600|Aftermath (Star Wars Aftermath, #1)|Chuck Wendig|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1426620007s/25131600.jpg|44828548], in particular, just did not do it for me.

All three novels are set during the period between the end of 'Return of the Jedi' and the start of 'The Force Awakens', taking in many of the key characters from the original films and furhter expanding their universe and personalities - in particular, Mon Mothma has a larger role to play in this than ever before.
The trilogy also introduces a new set of characters, and even manages to make the Battle Droids from the prequel trilogy seem dangerous once more.
For my money, however (and I hate to say this), it's still not a patch on [a:Timothy Zahn|12479|Timothy Zahn|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1215545810p2/12479.jpg]'s [b:Heir to the Empire|216443|Heir to the Empire (Star Wars The Thrawn Trilogy #1)|Timothy Zahn|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1398253847s/216443.jpg|1133995] trilogy (sorry).
