Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) — The Most Overhated Star Wars Movie? | The Binge

from The Binge

This week on The Binge, we revisit Solo: A Star Wars Story — the Star Wars spin-off that became one of the franchise's biggest surprises… and biggest disappointments. We break down what works, what doesn't, and why Solo struggled to connect with audiences despite its action, cast, and classic Star Wars adventure feel. Plus, we talk about Alden Ehrenreich stepping into the role of Han Solo, the behind-the-scenes production chaos, Donald Glover's scene-stealing Lando, and whether this movie was actually treated unfairly by fans. They debate, laugh, and argue — all while raising a glass (or more) of their favorite alcoholic beverage and toasting to cinema… and to surviving the franchise.🍸 The Binge Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/TheBingePodcast/ Joshua Ryan's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/MrMovieGuy86/
