While sitting at Rancho del Zocalo during Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Night, I received a notification that tickets for "Solo: A Star Wars Story" had just gone on sale. What a perfect time for my friends and I to purchase our tickets for opening night! Punch it!
I realized when I got ready for the show that I didn't have anything Han Solo to wear. I need to remedy that. So I wore my Princess Leia pin instead, along with my shirt from Star Wars celebration.

Back to the El Cap! |
- Ron Howard working with Lucasfilm on a Star Wars flick! YAY!
- I didn't realize that Clint Howard was the mean guy at the droid fight where L3 is first shown.
- I didn't really like how Han got his surname, but I guess it makes sense.
- Ha, "The Imperial March" on that recruitment video!
- Loved, loved, loved the meeting between Han and Chewbacca.
- Also loved the shot playing homage to Han in the carbonite.
- Nice foreshadowing of Han maneuvering the vehicle sideways as he later would with the Falcon.
- Alden Ehrenreich did a fantastic job of being the essence of a young Han, even the smirk.
- That train was really cool, using both sides of the track and going sideways. I'm glad I don't ride one of those on my daily commute, though. That would not be relaxing for me.
- Donald Glover is so Lando it's almost meta.
- The closet of capes!!! I would have done the same as Qi'ra and tried them, and probably would have held my own fashion show.
- L3 was less annoying to me upon second viewing, and I liked her a lot more. I think she just talked too much for me when I first saw it.
- Hey, I recognize that helmet that Beckett is wearing!
- "Trust no one." Is this the X-Files?
- "Assume everyone will betray you, and you will never be disappointed."
- WHAT is up with Dryden's red face and the marks? He has anger management issues.
- Well, I didn't see THAT coming. I keep wanting to say "Crimson Tide".
- OK, so it was 12.something parsecs.
The inside of the El Capitan had a bunch of murals of the different sets in the film.
Downstairs, they had the costumes on display, including the capes!

Outside the El Cap:

I know he wasn't in this movie, but it's STAR WARS! |
|
Yay! |
I saw the movie again a week later in my neighborhood. When I saw a different movie at the AMC in Downtown Disney, I saw that they had all of the individual character posters hanging around the theater. Oh, how I will miss this place.
I need to see this movie again so I can hear the "I know" after Lando says, "I hate you." Also, I just need to see this movie again and again and again.
I need to see the movie again because I know I don't catch a lot from the first viewing. And I hear there are a couple of Easter eggs in Dryden's office. I didn't see them last time. I might need to see it in IMAX so I get more screen to look at. And some of those sequences would be pretty cool on a giant screen.
