Often Star Wars fans champion the original trilogy as the greatest film in the franchise to date, but today Redditors are highlighting Solo as “the most underrated” film so far.
Solo: A Star Wars Story launched back in 2018 and received mixed reviews from both critics and fans. The film told the tale of Han Solo before we meet him in A New Hope as he completes the iconic Kessel Run.
The film had a lot to like from its cast and a few surprises along the way, but many felt it fell short as it didn’t do a lot to advance the story or legacy of Han Solo and the other characters we meet.
While it has undergone its fair share of criticism, fans today are celebrating the best aspects of the film, and here is what they had to say.
Solo currently boasts a Rotten Tomatoes critic score of 69 percent and an audience score of 64 percent. In comparison to the other Star Wars spinoff film, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the 2016 film pulls out way in front.
Rogue One scored high praise from both fans and critics currently having its own Certified Fresh Rotten Tomatoes score of 84 percent. This is alongside an equally impressive 86 percent audience rating.
While it’s not for everyone, Solo has its place in the Star Wars universe. If these words from fans have enticed you and you haven’t yet seen Solo for yourself then you can stream the spin-off film via Disney Plus right now.
