A lot of people would agree with me.  This movie should have been called Chewie: A Star Wars story instead.  At any rate, as approved by the great Harrison Ford, Alden Ehrenreich did not disappoint anyway.

There is nothing wrong with the screenplay, the acting is good and so much more, but somehow, in the "grand" scheme of...well, the movie...it sort of lacked oomph.  There were many dragging parts that made a lot of viewers sleepy in some parts, but towards the end, I still applauded because I liked the cliff hanger and the movie is not really a disaster like what the critics said.  It's not super exciting, but it does hold promise that the next two episodes would be more exciting.  One could only hope. 

I won't give spoilers except for the fact that there is no teaser after the credits, so don't waste your time, but there are easter eggs and surprises here and there.

Also, I think I should warn parents that this isn't a G rated film.  You could still bring your small kids, but be ready to guide them.  There are still killings, etc. 

I think that's about it.
