More than 40 years ago, audiences were introduced to a loveable scoundrel whose chauvinist charm won hearts and fearless audacity earned envy. Han Solo’s love affair with Princess Leia, almost lifelong friendship with Chewbacca and affection for the Millennium Falcon are just some of his most recognizable traits. But he was already an established pilot and smuggler when he made his entrance into the Star Wars universe, so little was known about his past. Although where Han came from was not a question on the tip of many tongues, it is an answer his fans may find interesting. Thus, the latest standalone film in the franchise, Solo: A Star Wars Story, goes back to the hero’s beginnings.
Space has truly become the next frontier of movies. However it’s no longer the comedic fantasy dramas that dominated the genre previously. Now filmmakers are utilizing technology to create credible narratives with a basis in real science. It seems every year now film-going audiences are treated to a larger-than-life portrayal of the universe that boasts unparalleled visuals and excellent writing. Director Ridley Scott returns to the depths of space and science fiction for his latest tale, The Martian.
