    I suppose Egerton would work, though I didn't especially care for Kingsman: The Secret Service. Have no idea about the others, but they generally look consistent with a young Han Solo.

    To me, it's not too important that the actor resemble Harrison Ford; they should be going for the "vibe" more than a Ford-like look and sound.

    As for "vibes", I'd have to go with Chris Pratt. But, I can understand why others wouldn't want him. In which case, Egerton will do, too.

    I love Chris Pratt, but he's too old to play young Han Solo.

    But a younger Indiana Jones... :chris:

    Well, you've just completely lost all credibility.

    @Paladin is also getting dangerously close.

    Kingsman was dreadful? A little overrated perhaps, but dreadful? No way.

    No thanks. Everyone keeps dragging this guy up, but the ability to do an impression of Ford doesn't mean that he's a skilled actor who can carry a movie. It's a big leap going from one line in Age of Adeline to being the star of the piece, especially when his acting experience is very limited.

    Yes, have to agree.

    Unless Harrison Ford has already filmed all the scenes from the Young Han Solo film for this guy to imitate, a good Han Solo impression doesn't mean much. What's the actor going to do when the scene requires him to do something he doesn't have an existing performance to copy?

    Hm. It's ok. It doesn't do a lot to answer my question of, Beyond a plucky rebel and the plans to the Death Star, all of which are part of ANH, what makes this movie?

    What more do you want that the trailer didn't give you? Porn?

    I guess that would be one way to save it, yeah. :shrug:

    It's just that I have always felt that this movie seemed 100% predictable, and nothing in that trailer piques my interest or promises that we will see or learn anything we haven't already seen or don't already know. And as the first non-main story Star Wars feature, it was up to this trailer to show us these additional movies had something more to offer.

    The AT-ATs symbolize this perfectly, IMO. In ESB, they were interesting in and of themselves because they were new. Seeing them again just makes them look like really badly designed tanks.

    Okay, so let's walk this through.

    Was Han Solo's death revealed in the TFA trailers?
    Nope.
    Was Kylo Ren's true identity revealed in the TFA trailers?
    Nope.
    Was Snoke revealed in the TFA trailers?
    Nope.
    Was Maz Kanada (visually) revealed in the TFA trailers?
    Nope.
    Was Luke revealed in the TFA tailers?
    Nope.
    Was any of the plot from the opening crawl revealed in the TFA trailers?
    Nope.

    You had to see the whole movie for all of that.

    BUT for "Rogue One", you can magically tell everything about it from the trailer.
    Because....

    Oh, well, move over, Asyncritus, the new theologian is on the block to claim his turf.

    Hey, no reason to get all up in arms about this. I'm just telling you my reaction. It's fine if yours is different to mine. But for the record, my point is not at all that I can tell everything about the movie from the trailer, but that I could tell everything that was in the trailer from the premise. That simply wasn't the case for TFA, not by a long shot.

    Just a logo on black.
    I totally predicted it.
    This movie is going to be terrible.
    I'm a superior breed of human for thinking so.
    Bow to me.

    Man I'm so happy George Whatshisface sold Star Wars.

    If Darth Vader shows up in this and kicks serious ass I will literally jizz my pants.

    And Genevieve O'Reilly also played her in ROTS, so nice continuity. I'd like to have seen Wayne Pygram in the trailer, though.

    "Revenge Of The Sith", would have been the conclusion to Star Wars.
    That's it.
    The end.
    That's what world we were looking at with George holding onto it until he died.
    I just want everyone to stand back, and take that in.
    Sith is the last Star Wars.
    That's the world the bashers and whiners want back.
    Process that.
    It'll bowl you over in horror, so it'll take a few tries.

    Oh, my. I'm very, very interested. They got so much of the original Star Wars look right (the costumes, the command center, Mon Mothma(!), the Yavin base) and yet still managed to make it seem more alive and fresh.

    We all know Vader's in the movie. I sincerely hope they don't put him in ANY of the ads or trailers, and let his appearance be a total surprise. I hope to be sitting in an audience and, at the worst possible moment for the good guys, Vader appears...and everyone in the audience loses their shit.

    Most of her scenes were cut, but she is visible in some of the Senate sessions.
