more Solo blather, not especially spoilery
I figured this movie would be all about how Han got to be everything we know about him. That was there, yes, but it was secondary; this could be your first SW film and it'd be fun. It's the heist movie I never knew I wanted.
They did a GREAT job of scripting Han like he is in Ep. IV-VI, where he desperately TRIES to be this fast talking con artist, and he KINDA does it okay, but he's not actually good at it. I was worried they'd make him too perfect.

@Leucrotta yes! his defining attribute trait is "cocky," not "smooth" or even "particularly capable," and though he's apparently gifted at flying, that doesn't help with EVERYTHING ELSE, where he just kinda flails along and survives more by luck than wits or skill. XD
