My daughter and I watched this movie recently before Father's Day. I think a daddy-daughter Father's Day date is fast becoming a tradition (I'm delighted!). We watched Wonder Woman last year, as my journal says.
Good
background story. It didn't impress me as "super awesome" though.
Things
that stood out for me:
**
Qira is the only one that knows who Han really is - that he is, deep within
himself, a good guy. This ties in with the character of Padme knowing that
"there is still good in him (in Anakin after he turns into Darth Vadar).”
Isn't
that the Buddha-nature or the Imago Dei (Image of God in Gen 1:27)? "Buddha-nature", "Imago Dei" --- those are
examples of religious jargon (language) that religions have used in history to
convey a deep truth that, for example, Solo: A Star Wars Story conveys
in more simple, easier-to-understand (for this generation) language. In the
words of Qira
"I might be the only person who knows who you really are" (despite Han proclaiming that he's a "bad outlaw"). And then, as I remember, she whispers to someone later, "He's a good guy."
**
We finally see how Han wins the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissan
**
We finally know the origins of the deep friendship between Chewbacca and Han
Things
that intrigued me:
What's
with Darth Maul's reappearance?
What
happens to Qira after?
