Solo: A Star Wars Story

When it comes to prequel storytelling, Solo delivers on its promise and tops Rogue One

While Rogue One relies on trite Star Wars cliches and a single spine-tingling Vader scene, Solo tells a more compelling story.

A rags-to-riches Western galactic adventure, Solo complicates good and evil. Our hero: self-interested. Our heroine: saves herself. The friendships: unlikely. The odds: slim, but don't tell young Han that.
