Hosting a Solo: A Star Wars Story Movie Night!

Solo Movie Night

We were quite fortunate that Disney sent us a massive box of Solo: A Star Wars Story toys games and more to host a movie night! This post is a bit late because our box got a bit hung up in Hyperspace. It did not make the Kessel Run in less than 14 parsecs. But it arrived an it was filled with some amazing items!! So many cool toys from Hasbro and also a Chewbacca Snug—, er I mean blanket with sleeves. Popcorn and a copy of the movie on Blu-ray rounded out the fantastic items! The kids and I unboxed that massive box of things from Disney to show you. You can see it below.

Eva and I have already seen the movie but Andrew and Allison have not. When we get a free night we will all watch the movie together and take along our new Ultimate Co-Pilot Chewie, some Chewbacca Masks and even a copy of the Sabacc game from the movie. We can even get into blaster fights with the Nerf Han Solo blaster. We got two of them! I think we are one Chewbacca mask away from having the whole family about to wear them at one time.

The Blu-ray has a bunch of extras included, over an hour’s worth. One of the things is a featurette called Kasdan on Kasdan. Iconic Star Wars screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan and son Jonathan share what it was like to write the movie’s script together. Here is a clip of that.

There is so much more included. You can discover it all on your own but to help further enjoy the movie night I have a few things that you can download like Activity Sheets, Recipes and more! Click the images below to download the files to print at home.

SOLO: A Star Wars Story Lands on Digital September 14th & Bluray September 25th

Solo A Starwars Story Bluray

Back in May I took Eva to see SOLO: A Star Wars Story and we really enjoyed the movie. It was a great time for the two of us to bond over Star Wars. We have watched all the Star Wars movies together except for Rogue One and Episode III. We haven’t watched those because the endings are too intense for her sensitive nature. She is a very caring child and to find out that all these characters that she will end up loving will die (Rogue One) then it may be a bit too much. Then to see what happens to Anakin and what he does it might be too much for her as well. So we hold off.

SOLO had a great mixture of nostalgia and humor and I loved all the heist twists and turns involved. I know that many people said that there was no need to tell this story but for me I was entertained and I enjoyed every minute of it. I am looking forward to seeing it again when it comes out on Bluray and digital later this year. More details below.
