I don’t know when, "XX Universe" has become a concept touted by the series of movies. The major Hollywood studios racked their brains to dig out a plastic story line from the classics in their hands, and then expanded and extended. It's a bit similar to the logic of IT companies creating an Internet ecosystem. While good ideas can create a large customer base and increase customer stickiness, a bad adaptation will in turn increase the pressure on the main line of the original book and weaken the whole story.
And "Star Wars" benefited from its extremely powerful series of original works and Lucas Film's insistence on exclusive creations. In recent years, although several extended works have not been very eye-catching, they still remain popular, and often occupy the annual box office. Forefront. This should also be the professional ethics of a series of movies that are interested in creating a "universe". From the tragic resistance of the "Rogue One" to the continuation of the force of "The Best Jedi", I have not experienced the shock of the previous generation, but I can still feel the charm of the "Star Wars Universe" from the story. .
This film tells how Han Solo grew from a dust in the galaxy to the captain of the Millennium Falcon in his youth before he met Luke. In fact, it’s more like playing Raiders of the Lost Ark. It may also be the only Star Wars movie without lightsaber and force, but the thoughts passed down in the series have not disappeared. The galaxy is so big that oppression is everywhere, but it resists oppression. Sparks are also flickering at all times. Although it seems to be a bit far from the age of the main line of Star Wars, far away from the galactic war between the Jedi Knights and the Sith Legion, this film still plays a more than two-hour movie in a compact and complete. Solo, Dragon Mother, Chubacca, Lando, and the robot L3, these roles are all played with flesh and blood. Maybe we should change the angle, ignore the Force and the lightsaber, just treat it as an independent story in the "Star Wars Universe", in fact, it still has its merits.
Therefore, the key is that we position this movie. If we expect to watch the Starship War between the Empire and the Republic, then the movie will appear to be very low-end. Only limited sci-fi elements such as the Millennium Falcon and antique robots are difficult to attract the audience. satisfy. But since we want to create the "universe", we always need to gather all kinds of elements. Starship Wars provides the main skeleton of the building, and the remaining space is filled by the adventure stories of mortals. The key to bringing the audience closer.
Finally, I admire the image of the dragon mother in the film. The blackened Ka Lixi is delicate and elegant. As long as she is there, she is definitely the focus of the whole picture. I can understand everyone's feeling that Han Solo didn't mention a word about this predecessor in the Star Wars story. After all, she is really much more beautiful than Princess Leia.
However, it is not recommended and not collected.
