You know to never tell him the odds. Even if you're not the most Star Wars savvy person in the world, most of you probably know that Harrison Ford was Han Solo in the Star Wars episodes 4, 5, 6, & 7. This is a character that is well represented, loved, and revered in the world of science fiction movies. The cocky, brash, quick-witted space smuggler is a well-known character, and in Solo: A Star Wars Story we get to see how the older version of Han we all grew to love was shaped. I was very fortunate to be able to walk the red carpet for Solo: A Star Wars Story, and I just loved this movie. My family and I were excited to check out this new Blu-ray!
Alden Ehrenreich is taking up the mantle as the scruffy looking (much
younger) nerf herder. We follow the scoundrel on a series of daring missions
across the galaxy, along the way he runs into a large hairy walking carpet that
goes by the name Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo), he comes face to face with a
notorious gambler and original owner of the ship that made the Kessel Run in
less than 12 parsecs, Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover). Phoebe Waller-Bridge who plays the droid
“L3-37”, is a real scene stealer, I have to admit I laughed out loud a few
times in her scenes.

The extras on the Blu-Ray are just amazing it was great to hear from
the cast, and to see how they made the Milenium Falcoln come to life. I just
love seeing the deleted scenes, it is great to see how a scene could have
changed the pace of the movie, and made it better or worse. There are hours and
hours of extras, so many that there are plenty more for the family to check out
and enjoy. Check out these fun bonus scenes:
