I disliked the movie, a lot, but Alden Ehrenreich's young Han Solo is not a problem for me.Admittedly, my initial experience soured my impression on the movie. The opening chase scene was so dark, I couldn't see what was going on, and I was so annoyed by that that when the Imperial officer called him "Solo", the movie had forever lost me, I nearly walked out.The other major issue is the whole problematic plotline involving L3-37. The sentience level of Droids and whether or not they're slaves is one of those things that I believe is best left unexamined. Just don't go there. Solo goes there, and then plays it off for a cheap laugh.Then there's all the minor annoyances, like that the movie is just here to explain every bit of Han Solo's wiki page (including why he calls Chewbacca "Chewie", one of the most annoying lines it deserves as much contempt as the line about hating sand), you get the fabulous Thandi Newton and blow her up minutes later, useless and confusing Darth Maul cameo, and there's not nearly enough Lando.The other reason I don't mind Alden Ehrenreich's young Han Solo is that I'm not precious about actors and roles, I remember hearing the same thing back in 2009 when the Star Trek reboot movie came out. "You can't recast Kirk or Spock or any of the others", said many a fan, even I was ... apprehensive. And, that movie, for all its flaws, casting was not one of them. I fully expect to see a remake of the original Star Wars on day, with a new cast.Which leads to another question, nearly everyone has put Star Wars as their favourite ... but which one?Star Wars - the original theatrical release (without even the Episode 4 subtitle)Star Wars Special Edition - with Jabba and Han shooting first.The Blue Ray version - which has more changes, but I can't remember them.Apparently the version up on Disney+ has even more changes.</blockquote>
