Deep breaths, everyone – the time has come to find out whether Solo: A Star Wars Story was a stroke of genius or the unwelcome result of Star Wars mania.

Last night (May 10) was the world premiere of the highly somewhat-anticipated Solo spin-off, which as well as coming out mere months after The Last Jedi, has been plagued with on-set hiccups.

So, is Solo's only saving grace Donald Glover's Lando Calrissian? Just how good is Alden Ehrenreich's Han Solo impression? And how obvious will Lord and Miller's departure be?

Well, it turns out we needn't have worried about all of that, because the first reviews for Solo: A Star Wars Story are out, and it seems the franchise has welcomed its most "fun" entry yet.

"#Solo feels surprisingly unlike any Star Wars movie before, yet perfectly captures the tone, adventure, characters and humor of the #StarWars franchise," one early review read.

Suggesting that "charming" might be Solo's buzzword, one agreed: "Charming cast, fun action, good jokes, good fan service but still does its own thing. #StarWars will be fine."

Another said: "#Solo is a ton of fun! Alden Ehrenreich is full of charm and definitely does right by Harrison Ford. Not to mention Donald Glover, who's equally great as Lando."

Despite a few grumbles about Solo taking a while "to find its feet" and a potentially bloated third act, it seems Star Wars fans have absolutely nothing to worry about.

"This is a REAL Star Wars movie," one viewer insists.

The Kasdans nail the character of Han Solo. Yes, the story is a series of expected events (Han meets chewie....etc) but none of them happen as expected. Stay away from spoilers, big Marvel-level shit that will make you wonder where Lucasfilm is headed next. — Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) May 11, 2018

I was pleasantly surprised that it worked as well as it did given all the behind the scenes drama & retooling. Charming cast, fun action, good jokes, good fan service but still does its own thing. #StarWars will be fine. — Jim Vejvoda (@JimVejvoda) May 11, 2018

There’s some fun to be had with #SoloAStarWarsStory. Ehrenreich was solid and really enjoyed Glover and Waller-Bridge as L3, but not convinced we needed a young Han Solo movie. Was really hoping for higher stakes, more energy and depth. — Perri Nemiroff (@PNemiroff) May 11, 2018

Thrilled to say #SoloAStarWarsStory WORKS. Cast crushed it - true to what we know yet energetic, fresh. Only subpar thing - at least forty minutes wasted on scenes where characters wolf down raw vidalia onions? Third act drags too. Still, this is a REAL Star Wars movie - loved it — Ben Mekler (@benmekler) May 11, 2018

Just come out of #SoloAStarWarsStory and can confirm it’s kinda a blast. @donaldglover was as perfect as expected, but Alden Ehrenreich has swagger to match, and spare. — Joel Meares (@joelmeares) May 11, 2018
