He's Han Solo for the same reason Shia LeQueef was Indiana Jones son... Steven Spielberg. Spielberg gets a hard on for these young male actors and forces them into everything. Kinda strange. I mean how many movies has Shia been in that were either produced by or directed by Spielberg? Lots.

I know. Nobody needs it. I just thought it was an interesting video because of just how glaringly different they are. It's painfully different, and even the most tone deaf among us can tell this guy isn't even trying to convey Harrison Ford's tone, delivery, or vocal cadence. But honestly, I think that's the point. I don't think they're really trying to make him sound or act like Harrison Ford. I think they're trying to reintroduce Han Solo as a new character.

I know that Solo is not necessarily TLJ.
They are both Disney Star Wars so it is not totally comparing Carrots and Potatoes.
Based on finally seeing TLJ, I am genuinely afraid of what Solo is going to turn out to be.
Just look at Chewie in TLJ, the only good part.
It showed that he is the prime pilot of the Falcon but that was it.
Now the BAD; his only major scene is cooking but not eating two Porgs.
He is a wookie. When angry he might rip your arms off but he is not allowed to eat.
The birds are dead already... what a waste and a hypocritical plot point.... being generous with the word plot.
Luke is able to kill a fish and that is fine? The fish maybe smarter than Ackbar.
How about those lovable Ewoks, they wanted to cook Han and probably already had eaten some Imperials.
So the idea of eating humans is fine.
It is as if everything is out of phase. Not 90 or 180 degrees but an odd angle that is not easily corrected.

AE sounds weird and nasally. Kind of grating too.
I am confused as to why they didn't compare AE's "We're fine" line to Ford's similar "We're Fine. Everything's fine. How are you?" line.
Yeah I'm hoping SOLO is actually good. Otherwise it ruins my theory that the anthology movies will be the standouts.
eBay! I'm sure you can get more than this guy: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Millennium-Falcon-Shaped-LifeSaver-Candy-RARE-/253526799029?rmvSB=true
Huh, a Denny’s add that seems to showcase some of the new Solo aliens...Apparently the exact same set we will see Lando lose the Falcon to Han.

Cool commercial, but it seems like there's this strange need to make the galaxy feel bigger by never showing the same alien species twice. Drives me crazy. Unless I'm mistaken, there hasn't been an Ithorian (Hammerhead) in SW since Mos Eisley. Was there some kind of mass-extinction?
Well, I'm surprised they got Alden to do a Denny's commercial. But I must say, it appears I've been too harsh on him regarding his size, because he looks much bigger here than I remember him looking in everything else I've seen him in. My bad.

hahahahah
I think it's because a bunch of people get to play in the SW sandbox so they are throwing out their "cool" designs in place of the aliens we know usually populate the universe. I'm all for more aliens, but do like Rogue One and stick them in there with what we know should be there. I think SW was getting a little stereotypical in that, games specifically, had all Gran/Rodians/Weequay work for Hutts, every Trandoshan is a bounty hunter, etc. So I like more variety, but don't all of the sudden have a bunch of aliens we always see everywhere, not there.
"Therm Scissorpunch"
Huh.
Huh.
Wasn't Therm a monster-of-the-week on Ultraman?
Looks like he coulda been, right?
Ultraman was my second favorite TV show back in the day, following only Speed Racer!

There's also an alien with six eyes with the nickname Sixeyes.
Seriously, these sound like Transformer names. At least GL and crew knew how to make alien sounding names.
