This film was released as a spinoff film focusing on Han Solo, Chewbacca, and the Millennium Falcon, popular characters from the old Star Wars trilogy, now known as Episodes 4 through 6.

The story continued the anime. The visual beauty of the images, which were full CG but looked like live-action, was terrific. However, the realism made it challenging to distinguish between the same characters. I vaguely recognized Mufasa and Scar, young Simba, and young Nala. Still, I don't recognize Sarabi and Nala when they talk side by side.
