Solo: A Star Wars Story, written by Jon and Lawrence Kasdan, directed by Ron Howard, is an exciting, fun, adventure romp across the seedier parts of the galaxy, with a great cast that includes Alden Ehrenreich owning the role, a few pleasant surprises, and delightful winks and nods to other parts of the saga. It ends up being hampered by a rough beginning and some questionable decisions which affect investment, but despite its shortcomings, overall it can still be quite enjoyable.

Last Shot, written by Daniel José Older, is a Han and Lando novel which covers distinct, but connected eras of their lives, with very loose ties to Solo: A Star Wars Story mixed in for good measure. Older’s prose is exhilarating, funny, and earnest, capturing Han, Lando, and the various supporting characters in organic, interesting ways, and he manages to keep the focus on the characters while raising the stakes of their adventures, all of which make Last Shot my favorite novel of the new canon since Bloodline.
