Solo

When you know a story is a prequel, you know the good guy is going to survive. But I suppose that is usually true of American action films, although maybe not in The Avengers Infinity War. Still, I enjoyed the swashbuckling entertainment of this story and the origins of his name and friendship with Chewbacca. Perhaps if I rewatch the original Star Wars I might get some of the references I missed. I don’t remember the dice being so significant in the original, but it was there in Last Jedi and in this. Movies often make gamblers seem so heroic.
