Solo : A Star Wars Storyco - author Jonathan Kasdan admits he was"skeptical"of the movie ’s aspect before he started working on the book with his male parent , Lawrence Kasdan . When Lucasfilm officially announced the spinoff in 2015 , it was unquestionably the DisneyStar Warsmovie rooter had the most reservation about . Not only are prequels tough junky to check ( something this exceptional enfranchisement knows all too well ) , many think it was an impossible task to find an role player who could take the torch from Harrison Ford and deliver a compelling public presentation as the contrabandist .
WhileSoloisfailing to observe adhesive friction at the box situation , it is n’t because the film is of low quality . The general consensus is that director Ron Howarddelivered an entertaining holdup adventurethrough the galaxy far , far away , and ace Alden Ehrenreich ’s turn as Han is considered to beone ofSolo’sstrongest attributes . But there was a time when even those responsible for makingSoloweren’t sure it could full work .

The bookThe Art of Solo : A Star Wars Storyincludes a quote from the younger Kasdan as he discussed his outlook when he first sign on :
" I was ambivalent about doing it with him [ Lawrence Kasdan ] because I was sceptical there was a good pic in the account of Han ’s youth . I do n’t tend to like prequels because there ’s minuscule to no suspense about whether the Italian sandwich will pull through ; of course he will . We see him later . "
Kasdan get on to expose that Han ’s dying inThe Force Awakensis truly what spur him on to get enthused about working onSolo . Not only did it stand for Ehrenreich ’s version would n’t be introduced while Ford was still going in the franchise , but he noticed"thematic undercurrents"that connectSoloto the Skywalker saga films . It provided the Kasdans with an opportunity to search Han’s"essential humanism"that ’s simultaneously his greatest strength and failing . After seeingSolo , it ’s ostensible the jaded , cynical position Han has inA New Hopeis merely a facade he puts on after some problematical experiences from his past . He was always the " good guy"and could n’t help but put his faith in those closest to him - even those long proceed from the visible light ( Qi’ra and then many years later , Ben Solo ) .
Several critiques onSolostated the celluloid was " unnecessary,“but the picture manage to go beyond just checking boxes and added depth to Han ’s role with an emotional story that saw him go froma man with no peopleto find a home aboard theMillennium Falconalongside Chewbacca . Much likeRogue One , it works very well as a complementary piece to the original trilogy , giving greater context to certain aspects of the former pic and enriching them for rewatches .
