Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
Disney is now remaking their animations into live action films. Its nothing new, they had 101 Dalmatians decades ago lol. But yes, no SW will be remade, they have hundreds of Legends stories for inspiration for a new Expanded Universe, they can go to The Old Republic, they can make stories about pirates, smugglers, gangsters, jedi, sith, podracers, JAWAS, there's plenty of species to make spinoffs. Heck, a Coruscant themed Sin City anthology would be awesome. SW has way more characters than the main cast of the OT, they need to take advantage and they need to know it doesn't all to have connect seamlessly. The way they have the MCU (cinematic), the MTVU (television), and the MNFU (netflix) is what SW needs: places/planets in common, some name drops, but totally different vibes from the originals. Soo much can be done with zero remakes

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
Well, they would never remake ANH (TFA aside), nor ESB or ROTJ. The OT films are widely adored and cherished films (particularly ANH and ESB) in Hollywood history and our culture at large, so I cannot see them ever being remade.
Buuuuut...those less than adored PT films, which failed so egregiously to even approach their potential?? I could see Disney "re-imagining" them some day. Probably not in the next decade, as they have their plate full with other Star Wars stories to tell. But I could definitely see it happening a bit further down the road. It would be a major "Frack You!" to George, whether he's alive or dead at the time, but I'm not gonna lie...if I thought they would do the films right this time, I might be in favor of it. Sorry Hayden, sorry George, but I still feel like I have not yet met the young Anakin who would become Darth Vader.

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
I agree with you Wook,....that's what I would want,....re-write the Prequels into something interesting,...but,....I think the closest we will get will be the Rogue One,...the Solo movie & probably the Boba movie,....all prequelling the OT.....exploring that era is what Disney is interested in,....funnily enough,....& it seems like Disney likes the same thing I do,....those three films are not about twirly lightsabers,.....its about Rogues & smugglers
Thank you Disney,...for seeing the true Star Wars

Bryancd is right..OT or PT will NEVER be remade. Not in our lifetimes at least. There are no plans. I know this. The Disney/Star Wars story group is focusing on continuing the stories directly and spin offs.

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
The sequel trilogy locked the original Star Wars in for the long haul. Those actors and their story are part of the present-day big picture efforts by Disney/LFL. Thankfully, studios are beginning to understand that our nostalgia is not simply tied to a "brand" (I'm looking at you, Ghostbusters) but to characters and stories which we've taken into our hearts as our own. They're not going to utilize old Mark Hammill, old Harrison Ford, old Carrie FIsher, even old Peter Mayhew, just to go back and film A New Hope, Empire, and Jedi with a new cast.

Ehrenreich is seemingly somewhat uncomfortably close in age to Harrison Ford, but Ford was older than he looked when they made the first Star Wars - and I'm really glad they're not doing "kid Solo" or having another actor play him between ROTJ and TFA. A 20-something was the best window to aim for if they gotta do it, and 20-something Harrison Ford is busy doing carpentry back in 1962.

Ehrenreich will be 28 when the Han Solo movie is released.
I don't know if that's "uncomfortably close." But, that's most likely within the age range they were casting.
Ford was less than a month shy of 35 when Star Wars came out.

If anything a shared set - i doubt the flick opens with him in possession of it already. Probably gets it near the end, if at all.
