Chris Pine has more talent in his left side burn them Vic has in that absurd bouffant on his head.

WOW! Really? I really enjoyed Pine as Kirk. I thought he did a wonderful jon. And Vic as Kirk... Loved it! Both embodied the same spirit!

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
Pine may very well be the superior actor, generally speaking. But Pine can't hold Vic's jockstrap, when it comes to playing Kirk.

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
LOL! That's funny...
I can't compare. Two very different actors portraying to very different same characters? I dunno... I got nothing! I do enjoy Vic's version of the OS Kirk. I think he appreciates the original material and the "over the top" acting done by Shatner - who I love!

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
You'd make a great politician, Sofa. lol
Maybe Bryan should play Han Solo. I know Bryan's like 50 years old, but he is a world-class Ironman triathlete, so I bet he looks 22.

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
I've been agonizing over the lack of any clear data on this film (to maybe drag things back near the ostensible topic -- and not vent my rage at JJ-Trek). When the Big Canon Announcement came down two years ago, I was rocked back on my heels, but once I recovered, I got cautiously optimistic that the Story Group might go back to first sources and jettison bits of the EU that conflicted with what we saw onscreen in the OT. But this is an era that has me a little nervous. There were things in Star Wars (and Empire) that every film and EU source since has interpreted in... shall I say "creative" ways...? I personally prefer to take a "minority report" view, and tacitly ignore the one conflicting data source. So, really, my first sources are Star Wars and Empire, and I applaud anything in later sources that augments what we see in there, and reject anything that conflicts. Starting with Rebel and Imperial uniforms and insignia in ROTJ.
One thing I'm gigglingly gleeful about in Rogue One is that we're seeing "summer" versions of the Hoth Rebel uniforms, giving me hope that this is the standard attire of Alliance personnel (until they changed it to that awful ROTJ uniform). I have always squirmed under the costuming groups calling the troops on Leia's ship "Rebel Fleet Troopers", as that's moronic -- having uniformed Rebel troops on board is a perfect way to maintain your fiction that you're an Imperial ship. :rolleyes I've maintained for years that that's the "garrison" uniform of the Imperial Senate Guards in this era, that they tend to be more loyal to their senator than the Empire, and that the ones we see in Rogue One are part of Mon Mothma's contingent.
Similarly, the Imperial pilots in black fligth suits and Stormtrooper-esque helmets are -- wait for it -- Stormtrooper pilots. The Prequels did a good job of establishing that those armored troopers maintain their own pilots and armored-vehicle operators, independent of regular Republic/Imperial military. We see in ESB (and ROTJ) what both Stormtrooper and non-Stormtrooper armored-vehicle operators look like (Veers and the AT-ST crew, versus the AT-AT drivers). I miss the original premise that the Alliance to Restore the Republic was largely comprised of people who were alive during, served in the military of, and had the old uniforms and materièl of the Republic -- i.e., flight suits and helmets with old Republic-era squadron markings, often incorporating the Republic logo (the "anchor"/"starbird"). Regardless, I cling ot the notion that Imperial Starfleet pilots (and maybe pre-ANH-era Senatorial pilots) have something more like the Rebel pilots or how Baron Fel was depicted in the interior art of "In the Empire's Service":
I can fudge the 181st's use of Stormtrooper flight helmets as an affectation to make them more fearsome, and that they can get away with post-Endor because of the breaking-down power structure. I feel standard-issue would be more like yakcam's helmet:
Maybe even with the longer visor and removable air mask the Star Wars prototype helmets had:
Maybe even Han's blast-shield helmet... Because... After TPM came out, and we saw Republic pilots in medium-blue versions of the later Imperial uniforms we were more familiar with, that seriously helped the EU notion that Han had been an Imperial pilot at some point. As it developed further that those were personnel of the Judiciary, who formed the Senate Guard and piloted senatorial vessels and such... It still works. He just would have been with those forces, rather than in the Imperial Starfleet. As there are "class A" and "class B" type Imperial uniforms seen in Star Wars (the double breasted jackets and jodhpur breeches, versus the single breasted jackets and straight pants), I see Han's ANH pants and ESB jacket as his retained fatigues after he got drummed out of the service.
All of this is internally consistent and supported in the films themselves. But I'm not 100% certain the folks in charge have actually stepped back and looked at what's in the movies and are sorta making things up as they go. Like how the guy in white in the Rogue One teaser looks to be wearing the "Imperial Security Bureau" uniform... but the jacket is the regular Imperial Starfleet cut, not the version of the ISB jacket we actually saw in Star Wars -- with the abbreviated chest placket and no breast pockets. Is this intentional? Or is it a screwup? So I worry other things implicit in all six extant films (not counting TFA) will either get missed or misinterpreted for this. And I ultimately don't know if I'm eager for the Han Solo film, or dreading it.

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
That fact is, both dredd and mad max pulled off what we thought was impossible. And they prove that a fett film could work.
Hell, it could even be played by the dude from ATOTC. Maybe his helmet could come off once...but that's it

Well, the casting of young Han Solo's blaster seems to be on point, at least.

:lol "The actor playing Han's blaster in the upcoming film has done stage work in "Annie, get your gun", played a stunt pistol in "The Force Awakens" and also pulled off a masterful rifle impression in "The Elephant Gun".

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
I was with you on all of it till the Kirk analogy.
I think though that's because I never personally cared for Shat, so to me I'd rather have Pine because he isn't doing Shat.
However in the case of Han Solo I agree with you... and I think that's probably because I love Harrison Ford. :lol

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
My opinion is I'd rather sit through two hours of a good Harrison Ford impression (face, voice, and mannerisms) in this Han Solo movie, than a great actor playing Han, but having little resemblance to Ford. It'd be easier to buy into that way, at least for me. If they don't/didn't pick that guy with the home Ford impersonation YouTube reel (the same guy that played the younger Harrison in that movie last year) to play him, Disney is ***** up in a big way (for me)...unless they found a better Ford impersonator.
I realize I am probably espousing an unpopular opinion here.

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
I'd just like to see whoever is cast capable of doing, say, a Ewan MacGregor level version of the OT character. He did a fantastic job as Obi-Wan in my opinion, adn while he wasn't a perfect 100% recreation of Sir Alec Guinness, he did an excellent representation of him. He's one of the undeniably good parts of the PT, and most of you know my attitude on the PT overall.
I think that needs to be the real benchmark here. It's not how good of an impression you can do or how close you look (although, really, Ingruber would've been the best choice there), but rather whether you can capture the soul of the character and come "close enough" with the impression side.

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
When I watched "Age of Adeline" the only parts I really enjoyed were Anthony Ingruber's scenes. I went back and watched them again they were so enjoyable.

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
He didn't have much in the way of lines, but wow, he sure did look like Harrison. Anthony Ingruber was the only reason I saw that film. I went to see it in the theater. I wanted to see how he did outside of youtube. I wish he'd had more dialogue.
The movie was decent, I guess. But yeah, other than AI, the only memorable parts for me were the scenes when old man Harrison first saw Adeline, and the awkward/funny dinner table scene where old man Harrison reminisces about Adeline in front of his wife, son, and Adeline. lol His wife was pissssssed! lol
