Solo: A Star Wars Story has finally arrived in theaters. While the film has had a bumpy road behind the scenes, thanks to a director change and a pretty extensive reshoot that even forced one of the original cast members, Michael K. Williams, to drop out due to a scheduling conflict, it's been pretty well-received by audiences. Unfortunately, the flick hasn't fared nearly as well commercially as its predecessors. However, for what it's worth (perhaps a poor choice of words), critics and fans have been mostly kind. With a great lead, a fantastic supporting cast (led by the ever-charming Donald Glover as Lando), an exciting, constant thrum of adventure, and a twist that will leave most Star Wars fan salivating, Solo is much better than it is given credit for, monetarily speaking.

In short, what Solo might not make in hard cash, it more than makes up for in heart. While the stakes aren't as high this time around for Han and his merry band, Solo is still a fun romp through space that captures the essence of the Original Trilogy while also reintroducing the beloved smuggler to a new generation. It's nowhere near the disaster some people thought it would be. That's good news! To celebrate, CBR has collected the 15 best Solo memes from all over the internet!

15 DRAKE WANTS KENOBI

Solo: A Star Wars Story faced an uphill battle from the start. If Star Wars fans were worried about the "Disneyfication" of their beloved franchise, it seemed confirmed when the studio failed to announce any standalone films not tied to what had come before. Here was Disney's chance to journey into the unknown regions of the Star Wars galaxy with all new stories, characters and planets. Instead, Disney went with two prequels to A New Hope: Rogue One and a Han Solo origin story. While Rogue One ultimately didn't face anywhere near the ire that The Last Jedi has had to face for the last few months, fans remained steadfast about being underwhelmed by Solo.

What do the fans actually want? Well, according to this very popular Drake meme, they want an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie that's a prequel to A New Hope; a film that could show what Obi-Wan Kenobi has been up to since Order 66 but before he crosses paths with a farm boy named Luke Skywalker. Of course, Kenobi couldn't be up to TOO much, considering that he's in exile on Tatooine, which leaves little to no options for a space-faring adventure. Instead, the Kenobi movie could play out like a straight, Seven Samurai-like Western in which the old Jedi master protects a defenseless village from marauders. Maybe that'll make fans happy.

14 FANS HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS

To make matters worse, Solo: A Star Wars Story isn't THE BEST title for a movie. Some fans were hoping that the Han Solo movie would follow the Indiana Jones method of titling movies -- a pulpy-sounding title that would promise grand adventure, danger and mystery. Think "Han Solo and the Kessel Run of Doom"... or something much, much better, but along those same lines. The old, non-canon Han Solo Adventures novels by Brian Daley featured titles like Han Solo at Stars' End, Han Solo's Revenge and Han Solo and the Lost Legacy, so it's definitely been done before.

The Lando Calrissian Adventures had even better titles: Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu, Lando Calrissian and the Flamewind of Oseon, and Lando Calrissian and the Starcave of ThonBoka. Basically, when compared to the titles of the old Expanded Universe adventures, Solo sounds very underwhelming. Of course, Han's last name is an easily recognizable Star Wars staple and gets the point across in the marketing quickly and concisely. That's probably what Disney was going for, though the producers of the film perhaps could have thought up something just a little catchier -- that might have helped with sales in the end... but probable not.

13 THIS CAST HAS SEEN SOME THINGS

Okay, the familiar territory and the title didn't help this movie, but those are nothing when compared to all of the behind the scenes drama that surrounded the production of Solo: A Star Wars Story. In fact, stories of a difficult shoot dominated headlines about the film for most of its production. It all began when Lucasfilm announced that it had parted ways with directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller due to "creative differences." Slowly, stories began to leak out from anonymous sources that detailed the turbulent relationship the young directors had with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy.

For one thing, Kennedy and co-screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan, a Star Wars veteran who also wrote The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, didn't like Lord and Miller's highly-improvisational directing style. Used to working on lighthearted comedy films like 21 Jump Street and The Lego Movie, Lord and Miller would veer away from what was written on the page to improvise certain elements of a scene. One anonymous source described the relationship between the veterans and the directors as "culture shock." Ultimately, Kennedy got the last word when she decided to fire the directors and head in the direction she'd originally intended for the film: a more serious Western heist movie.

12 RON HOWARD FINALLY DIRECTED A STAR WAR

With Lord and Miller out as the directors of Solo: A Star Wars Story, the question on everyone's mind was who would replace them. Kennedy decided to go with a veteran director, someone who had cut his teeth on plenty of other big-budget films: Academy Award winner Ron Howard. The director described the sudden opportunity to direct a Star Wars movie as a surprise in an interview with EW: "It just came in a moment where I was working on lots of new projects for Imagine, and I had not planned to direct anything last year," said Howard. "So then this came my way, and I was talking to Kathy [Kennedy], and the now tragically late Alli Shearmur, an old friend. I was reluctant, but I also began to feel that I could help."

While it's not clear just how much Howard changed about what Lord and Miller had already filmed, reports claim that Howard reshot up to 70 percent of the footage already in place. That's a significant chunk of Lord and Miller's work. While we may never know what scenes remained from Lord and Miller's time working on the movie, one thing is for sure: the final product is Howard's movie. That's why he's credited as the sole director of Solo, while Lord and Miller took exec producer credits.

11 TICKLING YOUR NOSTALGIA BONE

Fans' fears about Disney repackaging elements of the Star Wars universe we've seen before are not without reason. Disney has shown in the last four years that it's more than happy to tickle our nostalgia bones with callbacks to characters, ships and even storylines from the Prequel Trilogy and Original Trilogy. So far, the Sequel Trilogy hasn't really established itself as its own original story as much as it's retreading the past and recreated it for a modern audience. The Force Awakens is certainly more of a remake than it is a new chapter of Star Wars, as it copied the exact structure of A New Hope.

Rogue One and The Last Jedi do a much better job as unique chapters of Star Wars, but they're still riddled with all kinds of Easter eggs and references that constantly wink at the audience at an almost manic and dizzying pace. Solo is, unfortunately, guilty of this as well, although we won't spoil any of the callbacks in the new movie. Many fans feel that the Disney era of Star Wars is a multi-billion dollar franchise that consists of "member berries" (to quote a popular South Park term) and not a whole lot of substance.

10 NO ONE INVITED LUKE

When rumors started making the rounds on the internet that Spencer Wilding had been cast in Solo: A Star Wars Story, some fans began to suspect that Darth Vader would appear in the movie in some capacity. In case you don't remember, Wilding wore the Vader suit in Rogue One. It made sense since the film was said to show Han's early days at the Imperial Academy where he was training to become a pilot. It wouldn't be too far-fetched -- especially in the very intertwined Star Wars universe -- that Han would cross paths with the Dark Lord of the Sith for even the briefest of moments.

Ultimately, that wasn't the case, though. Darth Vader isn't in the movie and the film's IMDB page doesn't even list Wilding as a member of the cast, which means that the rumor was nothing but just that. This doesn't mean we won't see Darth Vader on the big screen again, of course. In fact, there's a very real possibility that we'll see the villain in another movie after how well his appearance in Rogue One was received. It wouldn't be surprising if Vader even got his own standalone movie. But, in terms of Solo, Vader's nowhere to be seen.

9 SOLO SURVIVED ITS MAY RELEASE DATE

After Lord and Miller dropped out of Solo: A Star Wars Story and Howard took over, speculation began circulating that the Han Solo origin story would have to be delayed in order to accommodate the long and costly reshoots scheduled for the summer of 2017. With such extensive work needed to put the film back on track, how could Solo possibly hit its May 25, 2018 release date? To add fuel to the fire, the movie wasn't even marketed until the beginning of 2018. Fans didn't even know the title of the movie until a few months ago. This all seemed to indicate that Solo was doomed for a delay.

The mythical delay never came to pass, of course. For better or worse (you can decide), Solo has hit its release date. It seems that the veteran director was just what the movie needed to save the production from suffering another embarrassing setback. It's worth noting that the two movies that preceded Solo -- The Last Jedi and Rogue One -- were pushed back to December from their original May release dates. The untitled Episode IX, which also went through a director change, was recently pushed from May to December, as well.

8 MATURE GAMBINO

Donald Glover fills the very big shoes first worn by the wonderful Billy Dee Williams in Solo: A Star Wars Story. The actor, who is also known by his stage name, Childish Gambino, plays charming con man Lando Calrissian, Han's frenemy in The Empire Strikes Back and the hero who blew up the second Death Star in Return of the Jedi. Unlike relative newcomer Alden Ehrenreich, Glover hasn't faced anywhere near the scrutiny as the new Lando. The artist has already cut his teeth on beloved shows such as Community and the brilliant Atlanta. You might have also seen his recent smash hit single, "This Is America," on the internet.

Glover expressed a lot of excitement about bringing Lando to a new generation. He even revealed that a Lando Calrissian action figure was his first toy and that he knew that, as soon as Solo was announced by Disney, he needed to play the role. In the end, the actor delivers a fine performance as the con man, expertly playing off of Ehrenreich's younger and less experienced Han. While it feels like we don't get enough Lando in the movie, there's hope that he might yet get his own standalone film. Perhaps it's time for a Lando origin story?

7 SOLO DEVELOPMENT

Ron Howard might be best known as Richie Cunningham from Happy Days and as the Academy Award-winning director who brought the world the haunting biopic, A Beautiful Mind, but TV fans also know him as the narrator in popular sitcom Arrested Development. In the series, Howard complements the show by providing background information on the characters or providing context to a scene -- often in the form of flashbacks or parallel scenes. He also delivers the fake and hilarious previews for upcoming episodes. Although we never see Howard on screen, he is one of the staples of the show.

The meme plays off of Howard's role as Arrested Development's narrator by imagining a way Solo: A Star Wars Story could open. The movie could start with Han's death scene in The Force Awakens as he's stabbed by his son, Ben, and thrown off a bridge on Starkiller Base. Then the scene would pause and Howard would say something like, "Now, I know what you're thinking. This looks pretty bad. Let's start from the beginning..." Then we'd go back in time to see how Han Solo began his life as a smuggler. It would be a fitting opening if this were a scene in Arrested Development, anyway.

6 WHAT A GUY WANTS

There are plenty of memes along the lines of "We don't want Solo, we want THIS movie." This one once again named an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie as the movie "men actually want." Kenobi is definitely on the list of potential standalone films Lucasfilm should make, but there are so many other options. After Solo, Lucasfilm has Episode IX and a Boba Fett standalone on its slate, as well as a new trilogy from Rian Johnson and a series of films being developed by the creators of Game of Thrones, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.

As far as other standalone flicks, the sky's the limit. What other standalone movies might be on Disney's list? There have been rumors of a young Yoda movie for years. There were reports in the early days of the Disney era that the studio had tapped Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice director Zack Snyder to write and direct the Yoda movie, which was described as Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai but with Jedi. There's also the potential Lando standalone and perhaps even a proper Darth Vader movie. It remains to be seen what will happen to the characters of the Sequel Trilogy once Episode IX has come and gone. Might we see Rey, Finn, or Poe standalone movies someday?

5 WANNA BUY SOME DEATHSTICKS?

You may remember death sticks from Attack of the Clones. Obi-Wan was chasing after a shape-shifting bounty hunter named Zam Wesell through the lower levels of Coruscant when he decided to go sit at a bar and wait for Wesell to reveal herself. As Obi-Wan is enjoying a drink, a dealer named Elan Sel'Sabagno shows up and offers to sell him some death sticks. Obi-Wan, a Jedi not known for getting down with illicit substances, decides to help Elan by using his Jedi mind trick and convincing him to rethink his life and chosen career path.

It's a funny little moment in an otherwise dull Episode II. Death sticks appeared in the old Expanded Universe as well. About 130 years after the events of A New Hope, Cade Skywalker, a descendant of the famous Jedi Master, used death sticks to mute his connection to the Force and stop Luke's Force ghost from haunting him. You see, Cade had forsaken the Jedi and decided to live life as a pirate and bounty hunter. Luke kept showing up to convince Cade to return to the Jedi way. Instead, Cade chose the death sticks... at least in the beginning. You can check out the story in Dark Horse's Star Wars Legacy Vol. 1.

4 GONK DROID THE MOVIE OR GET OUT

GNK power droids were first introduced in A New Hope and fans have been fascinated with them ever since. Better known as "gonk droids" for the sound they make, these little trash can-looking droids are basically walking power generators that understand basic commands and not much else. An astromech droid a GNK is not. While they're not noteworthy for their heroism or intelligence, gonk droids are one of the most common models found in the Star Wars universe. If you look for them in the movies, you'll definitely find them.

Gonk droids appear in Solo in a role that fans have never quite seen before. You see, the usually docile gonks show up in a fighting pit, shredding away at each other with weapons, like they're in the Star Wars version of BattleBots. Indeed, it's survival of the fittest inside of a cage meant for high stakes droid fights. It's a side of the Star Wars universe we've never seen before and one the freedom-fighting L3-37, Lando's droid companion, is not happy about. Luckily, not all gonks are forced to fight to the death. Most of them are hanging around on desert planets or in Rebel bases, powering what needs to be powered.

3 WHO'S SCRUFFY-LOOKING?

Vanity will only get you so far and Han knows that. After all, he wouldn't be flying the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy is he actually cared about presentation. Seriously, have you SEEN the Millennium Falcon? Most of the time, the Corellian freighter looks like it's being held together with kids glue. But that baby's still got a few surprises left in her, sweetheart. The ship DID make the dangerous Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. Now that's impressive! Right? In the end, she always delivers and that's what matters.

One thing Han won't abide by, though, is being called scruffy-looking. Leia gives him a piece of her mind during the early parts of The Empire Strikes Back, calling a "stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder," to which Han famously replies, "Who's scruffy-looking?" Clearly, none of the rest of that insult bothered Han, but don't you dare call him ugly. The meme above imagines that Empire isn't the first time that Han has been called ugly. In the movie, Qi'ra mentions that she might be the only person who knows what Han really is. While she doesn't say "scruffy-looking," you've got to admit it would have been pretty funny.

2 JABBA: A STAR WARS STORY

Jabba the Hutt is a major part of Han Solo's story in the Original Trilogy. The crime lord is the reason Han needs to take the job to Alderaan. He owes the Hutt a lot of money after he was forced to drop some very valuable cargo while being boarded by Imperial forces. With a huge debt on his hands, Han spends A New Hope worrying about his compensation (and even a reward) in order to pay off what he owes Jabba -- plus a little extra. For some reason, that money never gets to Jabba, though, and the gangster puts a bounty out on Han.

It's time to pay the price in The Empire Strikes Back when both Jabba and Darth Vader want Han found and punished. After spending an entire movie running for his life through as asteroid field and an Imperial blockade, Han has nowhere left to go when he finds himself before Vader and the merciless bounty hunter Boba Fett on Cloud City. Han is then frozen in carbonite and sent back to Jabba's Palace on Tatooine to become the creepiest wall decoration ever. We may get to see how Han met Jabba in a second Solo movie if things play out how Disney hopes at the box office.

1 BROTHERLY LOVE

Where there's a Ron Howard, there's probably a Clint Howard. Clint is Ron's bother. He's a character actor who has appeared in several of his brother's feature films. In fact, he's appeared in 17 feature-length projects directed by his brother. That means he's been in more of his brother's films than not. Here's the list: Grand Theft Auto, Cotton Candy, Night Shift, Splash, Cocoon, Gung Ho, Parenthood, Backdraft, Far and Away, The Paper, Apollo 13, Edtv, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Missing, Cinderella Man, Frost/Nixon and The Dilemma. Oh, and he's been in a couple of his brother's short films, too.

You can count on Clint showing up in Solo: A Star Wars Story as well. He makes a very brief appearance as the ring leader of the gonk droid fighting pit. You only really get a quick second look at Clint before the camera cuts back to L3 freaking out about all the droid violence. It's a fun little moment, though. Too bad Clint didn't show up as a bumbling Imperial or smuggler, though. Or what if he had been revealed to be some sort of legend of the galaxy's criminal underground? Either way, we're just glad Clint's kept the streak going.
