I still wonder if Jango's head was still in that helmet :lol
I don't want to see origins, I don't want "easter eggs" showing this or that previously mentioned events, I don't want him to have a "mentor", I don't want how Han met Chewie.
I want a space western yarn about a tough gun slinging space cowboy who is rather the self centered jerk anti-hero pursuing his quest for money. And no I don't want to know why he became a self centered jerk. We all know why people end up that way anyways, hard life grinds people down. You don't need to show it. Besides he gets along with Chewie and that is the place he can show his sympathetic side being his loyal pal.
Odds are slim for me huh? LOL

I agree! Nobody asks how the "Man with No Name" (Clint Eastwood) became the way he did. He just is. And that's ok by most! Leave some the characters past in the past. Leave it to each person's individual imagination to create that story.
Now, I'm beginning to seriously worry that someone will do a 2001: a space odyssey prequel ... yeah, let's sell the Clavius Base personnel discovering TMA-1 ... maybe show the preparing of the Discovery Jupiter mission. Zac Efron or Jake Gyllenhaal would be a great Dave Bowman, and Channing Tatum Frank Poole. Then show the events of 2001 from the POV of Heywood Floyd and the Astronautics Council on earth. Y'know we've all been longing to see that....
That could be the culmination of a movie about his gunrunning in Spain and Africa (IIRC).How about showing us how Rick and Ilsa first met? They could call it "We'll Always Have Paris".
Not sure you got the manicurist's dish of sarcasm that I soaked my post in. But…Don't worry too much about it. IMO the original 2001:ASO doesn't have the popularity among younger viewers. Everyone loves the influence it had but nobody wants to sit through the original. Younger people have mostly heard of it or maybe seen a few bits on TV, but it's not a familiar movie to them on the whole.
Hear, hear. Kirk was (in Roddenberry's shorthand), half Hornblower, half Hamlet. To which I imagine some young writers saying, "Who? and who?" I saw nothing of those origins in New Coke Trek. They just saw Kirk as Standard Issue Action Movie Young Punk Hero. (*yawn*)Batguy, it doesn't matter whether an old property is popular with younger viewers. That's why Kojiro's idea of a prequel is so spot on. Movie execs believe resurrecting an old idea and casting it with popular people is the easiest way to make money for the studio. They don't have to waste time trying to think of something to do. I'm sure there are a lot of kids out there who have no idea that Captain Kirk is a character born from 60s television.…
Wow. She sounds ... so bored. And it takes talent to sound interesting while you're bored.

Interesting thought I had,if somebody hasn't mentioned it already,but be fun if they open the movie a few years before TFA kicks off and it's Luke and Han sitting around talking about the old days and Han starts to tell Luke about how it all began.
