    Solo: A Star Wars Story

    ★★★★

    After the release of the Last Jedi, Star Wars seemed to be on a downward spiral. The force awakens was an amazing opening to this new trilogy—a shining light to an already great series.

There are a couple of problems that I will outline throughout my review, but we will start with the first…
