Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
To be honest I'm more interested in the story of this guy than in Han Solo's. Not that I don't like Han, but I'm afraid the movie will suck bigtime

If Han Solo is sitting across the table from Han Solo:
WHO SHOOTS FIRST?

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
That's because there's very little at stake with Ice Cream Maker Guy. Like, if his movie sucks and it turns out that he's nowhere near as cool as we thought...well....it's really not a big deal because he's kinda lame to begin with. There's nowhere to go but up.
But I'd also like to avoid the EU tendency to turn every background character into some integral part of the Galactic Civil War, or turn all the folks in the cantina into heroes or villains of high calibre.
What I most enjoyed about Rogue One was that it showed characters I'd almost never heard of.

Luckily for you, Willrow Hood has a backstory. It just isn't canon anymore. There is more than meets the eye with that "ice cream maker".

The one who LOOKS like Han Solo, of course.

I know.
Stuff like that is why I'm glad the EU is dead and gone.

I'm hoping we see Woody as the gang leader who recruits the young pickpocketing Solo on Coruscant then years later he's like I know we fell out kid but I need you again for this heist.

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
I hate the idea of this film. R1 got me buzzing after what I thought was a poor TFA but this has simply turned me off. Doesn't anyone have any imagination to give us new characters in the SW universe, or different times - maybe from the old Republic.

...and its only on one planet. Not a whole freaking galaxy. :rolleyes
This kind of reminds me of what they did to Wolverine, in the late 90s and early 2000's, after I stopped reading comics but my friends told me about. What made him cool was his mystery. You explain too much about him and he doesnt seem as cool anymore. I havent gone through 30 pages of stuff, but I just noticed that he is going to have a mentor? And its Woody "I might ruin the new planet of the apes" Harrelson? Cmon man! So what are they going to do, show him playing sabacc against Lando and he wins the falcon? Yawn. I dont need to see that crap. I get Disney doesnt want to take any risks since they paid 4 billion for the property but man. I dont care to see this, AT ALL. If they want to make all the money, they should adapt the Zahn novels. They could still do it! Luke would just be old. So what. I would watch the hell out of that if they were even remotely close to the book. Imagine a blue Bryan Cranston as Thrawn. I just gave myself nerd chills. Or maybe Michael Strong! :lol

Oh, sure. I didn't think you were serious. But to me, it raised one of the weakest parts of the EU.

Public Service Announcement: Rouge One had several new characters.
And you were surprised when Rogue One; which happens days, hours, minutes prior to ANH; utilized some established characters?

Empire Strikes Back? That seems to be the one movie that is universally praised. In my nerd circles, I dont know anyone that doesnt like it, and its ALWAYS regarded as the best one.

I recall my dad not liking ESB back in the day. He said it all looks fake!

Agreed but that was a long time ago...pre-internet. Now everyone has a voice [emoji14]
