Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
I believe Kathleen Kennedy (I'm not really sure - please correct me if I'm wrong) said there will be no more children (as main characters) involved in future SW movies.

Oh what a sitcom.
Chewie! You forgot to flush again!
Insert laugh track.

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
Ford's been the only Han Solo for nearly 39 years now, whereas Connery wasn't even the first Bond.
Maybe "soft reboot" may've been a better term to use - Bond's character changed with each actor playing him.

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
From what I heard this afternoon, about the actor to be chosen, we wont be happy. Han wont have the Falcon as he will be in his teens. The Falcon film set was made to stand for years with trilogy productions scheduled around it to be used in the Han movie. Im wondering if he is to be employed on the Falcon as opposed to owning it. He does offer Rey a job in TFA which also makes me wonder if that gun Han gives Rey is his first sidearm as the Han movie concept art shows something very similar. Sort of ties in the hanging over the Falcon to the next gen. There was also a concept of Han in a flightsuit which I assume will be the Imperial Academy. The other concept I had seen was sort of ranch\/western style in appearance. There was a girl concept as well but I didnt get to see much other than notice it was a girl. There was a major spoiler in the concepts as far as ships go that you guys will likely guess right away.
If the casting holds true, im going to have serious doubts about this one. The look HAS to be right. If not it will be instant fan alienation.

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
Yes, looking at the claimed shortlist, none of those actors are thespians, more like flavour of the day teen idols.
Regardless of whether a person starts off with impressions or not, its the overall package, if the guy doesn't at least sound or give the vibe of Ford, then it will be a problem, as thats the aim, to have a young Ford type on screen.
It remains to be seen who gets the role, but that Ingruber guy sure can do a good Harrison Ford voice and mannerisms.
Whether a full on acting role is in his capabilities, well thats up to Disney and co.
The other actors on the shortlist though don't strike me as anything special whatsoever, just generic flavours of the month, hardly God's of acting!

The more I think about it, the more I don't have any interest in this movie. Oh well.

Agreed. I have zero interest in seeing this. The whole idea just sounds awful.

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
It's just a bad idea. Everything about this movie will be contested. They are setting themselves up to fail.
So why do it?
Invent more characters. It will sell. There is no doubt. Look at Deadpool. The casual audience had never heard of him. It sold like hotcakes. Anything with star wars in the title will sell. Once they realize that, the films will get way better

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
Totally agree. This movie is happening because Kasdan liked the character but there's just so many ways for this to go terribly wrong that in my mind it will be a miracle if they can pull it off. I just don't see that it's worth opening this can or worms when we have so much more to explore and see that also wouldn't be so highly contentious. Ignoring a guy that looks and sounds like a young Harrison Ford and potentially casting some generic teen idol that looks ripped from the pages of Tiger Beat (is that still around?) lol) certainly isn't an encouraging first step.

Oh great...:facepalm
And I'm guessing Slave I was in the mix...

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
Well one of them was in a very successful film that also featured Mark Hammill.
And let us not forget that prior to star wars, Harrison Ford was in two films, one of which he only appeared in one scene.

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
Here's a thought. How about everyone relax and just wait and see what they do rather then all the nonsense hyperbole. I'm all for giving them the chance rather then trial by internet nonsense. If you decide to not see a film that hasn't been made based on no information I can't say I'm going to be very interested in your opinion on anything.

Fair enough. We'll see how this turns out. I try to stay optimistic about these things but I'm having a hard time with this one.

Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
I'll just be over the moon if half these future movies appeal to me. Surely they've got to at least get 50% of them right. I'd be really happy with that or above. While this sounds iffy at the moment I'm willing to wait before I judge it. The one I'm looking forward to most at the moment is Rogue One.
