After the really not very good trilogy about Han Solo, I was not holding out great hope for this, but it's much better. Probably because Smith treats Lando as a hero who relies primarily on his brains rather than his brawn - that is, he doesn't like to rely on guns and avoids fights if he can, which means we end up with a story that isn't just a vehicle for ridiculous scenes such as appeared in the Solo series. (There are only so many explosions and chase scenes a girl can take.) So in comparison, this was actually enjoyable. It's not perfect - Smith has taken Lando's habit of calling other people "You old [whatever]" and beaten it into the fucking ground, for example, but the exploration of the pyramid and the changing geometries and scales of Sharu architecture was pretty interesting. I also liked the tentacular droid companion.
