Solo: A Star Wars Story

With the release of another Star Wars movie, one can expect another line of fans of all ages outside the movie theater in anticipation. A stand-alone installment of the series, “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” has a young Han Solo as the focus of the film. Because the Star Wars franchise is known for releasing their films wildly out of order, the film taking place prior to the 1977 original isn’t unusual.
