Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
Well, those characters wear masks. So, it's a little different.
And nobody goes to see a Batman or Spider-Man movie to watch Bruce Wayne or Peter Parker walk around for 2 hours? That would be lame.
Fact of the matter is, if Disney's foray into back stories is successful, they may replace all of the original cast in future films. How about Luke and Leia's respective childhoods/early teen years? (Who doesn't want to see another episode of a whiny brat on Tatooine? Huh?)
There is a growing audience out there who don't really have anything invested in the OT or the original actors. I don't think Disney is all that interested in keeping us old folks in the theaters anymore, anyway. So, who cares if the guy they got to play Han Solo looks nothing like Harrison Ford or is even the same height? Most of the new audience will be watching these new SW movies on their phablets, anyway. What's the difference?
And how many Batmans or Spider-Man's have there been over the last two decades?
