| Genre | Sci-fi action |
| Language | Low impact, infrequent language, used in conversation, not in aggressive manner and not to demand. |
| Nudity | None |
| Sex | None |
| Violence | Mild to moderate impact, frequent fantastical violence is present: fighting with laser guns and explosions, life threatening situations for the main characters, fighting monsters and aliens. There is no blood-letting present and the violence is mostly unrealistic and justified by context of action. |

What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Jamal-Dean Grootboom  Spin-off as slick as Solo. | 15 |  |
| Die Burger François Bloemhof Solo steel en smokkel én soen soos min. | 10 |  |
| Cape Times Lindsay Bahr No Ford but it has the goods. | 10 | |
| 24.com Gabi Zietsman Solo: A Star Wars Story is quite different from the main franchise, but like Rogue One the standalone movies give Star Wars a chance to do something else and its fans should afford it that opportunity. Although it might feel different in style, remember that Star Wars has always had that space Western feeling to it, and in Solo, it's more focused than before. | 20 | |
