Solo: A Star Wars Story Movie and Game Night

We received a Solo: A Star Wars Story Family Game Night from Hasbro and Solo: A Star Wars Movie on Blu-Ray in exchange for this post. All opinions and our love for family game/movie night remain our own.

I remember watching the first Star Wars movie as a young girl. What I couldn’t predict would be that my children would be super Star Wars fans. Our love affair with the Star Wars franchise continues with Solo: A Star Wars Story, now available on Digital HD, DVD and Blu-Ray 4K Ultra HD, and Blu-Ray.

Let’s start with the movie.

As someone who witnessed the unveiling of the very first Star Wars movie, I have found the prequels to be less than the originals. I think Solo: A Star Wars Movie changes this for me.

Perhaps it was the stand-alone aspect of the movie. It is a movie about a young Han Solo, revealing how he got his name and how he met the giant Wookie, Chewbacca (Joonas Suatamo), and Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover). It’s years before he meets Luke and Leia and we gain insight into how the smuggler became captain of the Millennium Falcon.

Solo is probably one of my favorite Star Wars characters, and in spite of his inability to make morally good choices, this movie is touching with themes of teamwork, equal rights, communication, courage, and friendship.

Solo: A Star Wars Story bonus content takes fans behind the scenes to experience compelling discussions with the star-studded cast and screenwriters Jonathan Kasdan & Lawrence Kasdan (writer of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi); a revealing feature on Chewie and his enduring friendship with Han; a close-up look at the original version of the Millennium Falcon and Han’s first time piloting the infamous ship; the creation of the film’s otherworldly settings and pulse-pounding action sequences; and eight never-before-seen deleted and extended scenes.
