I also enjoyed it, watched yesterday.
-Nobody is talking about Woody's character. He saved that movie.
-Agree the Han actor wasn't great. Although, I really don't know who it could have been without leaving alot to be desired. If they did a casting call for 100 actors and he was the best, then it is what it is.
-The bad guy wasn't that intimidating. At no point did I ever feel like he was going to inflict harm on anyone, his evilness didn't carry through the screen.
-Escaping Kessel was a great scene, but I still felt somewhat underwhelmed. I feel like a whole movie could have been made out of the Kessel run, they tried to do it in 7 minutes.
As another poster said already... they probably shouldn't have tried to condense so much lore and history into 1 movie. Could have made two or three.

I finally watched it and I enjoyed it. To compare it to the MCU, it was Ant-Man of the Star Wars universe, just a lightweight, fun distraction that isn't really interested in the whole mythology of the universe. It only wants to be a pleasant diversion.
The movie's biggest issue is that it can't withstand the weight of the culture wars that have surrounded it. Right wingers are pissed about TLJ and took it out on Solo. SJW types are made about another movie centered on a straight, white male protagonist. Fanboys are protesting over the ruined childhoods or whatever. and frankly, this movie has nothing to do with any of that. It is a damn heist film, and heist films are fun, especially with Wookies.
It wasn't a great movie by any means, but it was a nice way to spend two hours. And frankly, I wish the Staw Wars universe had more detours like this. They have this massive mythology, and it's always reduced to the Skywalker family squabble. It's good to look outside of that, and even the Empire/Rebel dynamic. It was an adventure unrelated to the plot of the main films, but set in the rich universe they created.
