Could do without ever seeing another alien lounge singer and some of the box-checking was really heavy-handed, but overall not sorry I paid to see it in the theater.
Honestly, if there was a SW film to have an alien lounge singer, this would have been it. Smugglers would need to hang out in loud, seedy places to conduct business and meet other contacts. Now, seeing season 4 of Battlebots happening in the background was a bit much.
Having sexual relations with your GPS device is not annoying. It's creepy.
I didn't get the feeling that it ever happened. L3 actually said it didn't happen, and it Lando might well have had enough feeling for the only entity he could trust that he'd mourn its loss. After a few years, the relationship between Han and Chewbacca would become about that strong...which doesn't mean they were sleeping together.
The overseas markets that pushed the last three "Star Wars" releases to more than $1 billion worldwide are simply not showing up to this Han Solo origin story, and that means the film might not even reach the half-billion mark.
I don't think so either, but all the innuendo dancing around it, while funny, was also more than a little creepy.

It's because our culture has become so hyper-sexualized. It is beyond the imagination of most people today that someone can feel strong love and affection for someone without wanting to bang. It's why you get all the truly creepy fanfic of Kirk and Spock hooking up, or Sherlock and Watson, or Legolas and Gimli, etc. Our culture worships at the Altar of Eros exclusively and so has forgotten the other loves.
But you have to admit: The scene with Han and Chewie showering together was funny.
"Kids movie" might be overstating it. I would say it a "kid-friendly" movie.
As long as toys and video games continue to be a primary source of Lucasfilm revenue, STAR WARS will always be kid-friendly. We'll never get an R-rated SW movie. And I'm fine with that. I'm not sure I want to see Wookiee wangs onscreen.
