Solo: A Star Wars Story

I’ll watch it, but they won’t get any more money from me.

That's dumb.
I can see not liking TLJ, and thus being gun shy about the next one, and I can see not seeing it at all if you hear from friends it's bad, but pirating it even if it's good?
That's petty bullshit.
Be petty if you want, but don't pretend you're "sticking it to the man", cuz you ain't.

The actor playing Solo does seem to have his body language down.

It will probably be corny and suck.

But dammit I do like heist movies.

People seem to forget every other time in movie and TV history they've hired an actor to play a younger version of someone. They almost never look like the adult actor. It ain't a big thing. Heck, in the Who's Tommy (the Movie), little boy Tommy changed into Roger Daltry Tommy during a facial closeup - the kid had brown eyes and Roger has blue!

Well, the question often is do you want the younger actor to be physically similar to the older actor with similar body language and similar vocal cues or do you want the younger actor to "capture the spirit" of the older actor?

Good point, young Clark Kent didn't really look Christopher Reeves and River Phoenix didn't look like Ford.

I think it would be a bad idea to have the new actor do a straight-on impression of the prior actor. Chris Pine did not need to do a bad William Shatner impression to sell us on his Captain Kirk.

That said, the actor must be at least be somewhat reminiscent of the original. They can't make it too difficult for us to suspend disbelief.

Like the trailer... Definitely seeing it in theaters. I'm still very skeptical about the lead actor playing Han. He just doesn't seem to have... something.

Fans Excited As ‘Solo’ Trailer Sheds Light On Specifically How It Will Suck

NEW YORK—Expressing their excitement at the preview of the latest installment in the popular franchise, self-proclaimed Star Wars fans told reporters Monday that they were blown away by a newly released Solo trailer that sheds light on specifically how the upcoming film will suck. “In the past, they’ve teased at the way the new movie is going to completely blow, but the full-length trailer really shows so much more about how shitty and wooden Alden Ehrenreich will be as a young Han Solo working his way through a boilerplate origin story,” said fan Lynn Hayes, noting that while the producers have provided hints at the way Solo would be a giant crock of shit—such as substantial script rewrites and the original directors being fired mid-shoot—it was a “real treat” to see the new trailer reveal so much about how the cast’s total lack of chemistry and the cringe-inducing dialogue would make the film a complete train wreck. “The teaser definitely stoked a lot of speculation about whether the movie would be mediocre because of generic characters like Therm Scissorpunch, Ron Howard’s uneven direction, or meaningless fan service like showing Chewbacca hugging his wife. It’s cool to know that it’s all of those things, and a lot more, that are really going to make this movie fucking garbage.” Hayes was, however, worried the trailer might contain spoilers that rob fans of experiencing a surge of hollow disappointment while watching Solo for the first time.

Clint Howard's in it!

I'm shocked! Shocked, I say!

He hires Solo to smuggle some contraband tronya.

Says Yoda: "Come to love it as much as I have you will I hope."

I like trains.

A sci-fi train robbery does, however, remind me a bit of "The Train Job" episode of Firefly.

I like cars.

Saw the first one. Didn't care for it too much. Amy saw 2 and 3.

Perhaps a combination of "Supertrain" and "Snowpiercer"

Alden Ehrenreich Will Return as Han Solo After Solo

I think this is Disney keeping its options open. No doubt, this contract was signed before one frame of the new film was shot. If the film succeeds, yes, I'm sure they'll make sequels. If not...

Rumor I've heard since Josh Trank was still lined up for Boba Fett, is the Han Solo and Boba Fett movies intersect at one crossover scene, and then split back off, so you follow Solo down one path and Fett down another.
They've never really said the Fett movie was permanently dead.
Ehrenreich could come back for that one.

I'm hoping Solo is successful enough that we get Another Solo.

I love ashtrays!!

I'm hoping it stays Solo.

Hmm... Daniel Logan is definitely in the age range to play an adult Boba Fett and does resemble Temuera Morrison enough still.

I'm not seeing how they haven't made this as Deadpool meets Star Wars?

Pass.

I had no idea this was already happening!!!


Star Wars: Underworld

Follows the journeys of a young bounty hunter and his mentor, as they transport shipment around the galaxy, encountering huge threats along the way.
Stars:
Daniel Logan, Micah Johnson, Ahmed Best
Ahmed Best??

Jar fuckin' Jar??????????

I'm gonna need more weed for this.

I think that project has long since died despite the IMDB entry. That was something worked on before the Disney sale.
