I'd wager that when Moore took over, NO ONE said 'well, at least they're the same height'. Who cares? hell, people likely had no clue how tall they were. If you say connery was 6'-2", i'll take your word for it, but i had no clue whatsoever.
The height is completely irrelevant. 90% of the audience won't notice, if not more. Now, they WILL notice he bares no resemblance whatsoever to the Han we've known for 30 years. That could be an issue. Then again, i don't recally may flicks where the guy taking over for someone actually really looked like the guy he was replacing. FFS, Kenner's second han figure from ANH looked nothing like the first!
People seem to be suggesting looks should have overwritten everything. Maybe the guy who looked like him sucked out loud in the audition? No one knows why one guy got it and the other didn't. I'm not a fan of the choice, but they could prove me wrong. I'm open to that possibility. It is getting pretty old to hear people @#$%ing about it without a shred of evidence as to how good or bad he actually is.

This is not an evidence or facts based crowd, it's just a mob mentality. I don't believe they even bothered to audition the look alike guy.
Glover has a detachable face? Good to know.

Its all about the action figures, making it interchangeable with Hans is good for future business.:lol
With all this backlash toward Ehrenreich, wouldn't it be interesting if they put out Solo toys for this film that resembled Ford?

LF had to get an acting coach to teach Ehrenreich how to act. How much more evidence do you need?

As much as I don't like the casting and the idea of this movie - I agree with you. I hope it does surprise us, I hope it is a solid film... I don't think it can come close to what TLJ did for me, but... ya never know.
Looking through Ron Howard's list of directorial efforts - he's a solid moviemaker. Sure, they're not all Apollo 13 or Backdraft - but, I guess if there's someone in the extended LFL family to hand this off to - there's not many folks out there with the kinda history Howard has. This alone gives me a little more help.
Hey, they redeemed Vader at the end of the Jedi... anything is possible.Still a lot of wasted negative energy that changes nothing.
Why does Bond come up every time an actor is cast into a pre-existing role? Bond is based on a book, so reinventing the character takes on a completely different meaning than when a character is essentially created by a particular actor (Harrison Ford as Han Solo and Indiana Jones, for example). In this case, it makes sense to try and cast an actor that at least has a decent resemblance to the original.
James Bond can be more accurately compared to recasting Sherlock Holmes. Although everyone has their favorite, a new version doesn't necessary have to relate at all to any previous incarnations.

I remember two 12in Han figures, one looked like Ron Silver and the other looked like Gregory Harrison.
I've only seen one movie scene each from AE and AI, and they both seemed to do an equally competent job. AI looks the part, AE had a recommendation from Spielberg.
Boom! And there you have it! I would only add, that AI not only looks the part, but sounds the part.
Oh Snap! Is Captain Phasma gonna be in this?! She is AWESOME!!!

Don't get too excited, she never removes her helmet, but she does remove everything else! :lol

Oh yeah. She's gonna go after Han (HN5'7) when he defects from the empire! Then she'll just fall down an open turbo lift shaft!
