Ups

8. Some Actual Story

So far, we've got to learn precious little about the actual substance of Solo, other than it looking at the past that created Star Wars' most beloved anti-hero, finding out how he got the Falcon, met Lando and became best buddies with Chewbacca.

That's all well and good, but it's not really interesting enough for an entire movie. A Holiday Special, maybe, but not a movie.

So it's great to get more of a suggestion of what the story actually is (even if it's a little belatedly). We're going to see a shady gangster set up a job, bring a team together and then reveal his true (unsurprisingly evil) motivations as Han, Lando, Chewie and the other heist team-members wrestle with their moral compasses.
