Dude, totally. And the last bit, with the "I thought we were in trouble there for a second, but..." admittedly has me a bit tingly. Spoken with AT LEAST as much conviction as Ford's "Watch this" moment. But no comparisons here, I hope to just enjoy on merit.
I'm buying. All the way.

After multiple viewings I still kinda thought it was. Are we sure it's not?
Doesnt look like her.

Yeah I have some thoughts on the blaster. That's the exact same world war I German Mauser inspired blaster that Han has in the original trilogy, same exact handle and shape.

Awesome !!! gets me even more excited for May now
Still no signs of Fett though
and instead of a space slug we get an even bigger space kraken this time
Yeah they really need to show Boba Fett in at least one of the TV spots or future trailers for this movie.
Donald Glover looks nothing like a young Billie Dee but people seem willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. It’s all about the character not the haircut.

No sir, I don't like it. I wanted to but I just feel 'meh'. Dialogue seemed cheesy and was delivered cheesy and this is the best they have to show us to hook us in? Like anything else I'll take a 'wait and see' approach.

I'm more than willing to give it a chance and keep my perspective in check with a grain of salt.
That said... They are actors. It's called acting. If AE cannot ACT like Han Solo (aka- the same way HF portrayed him), then he is NOT acting like Han. Then all this is, will be AE interpretation. And honestly, I find that completely nonsensical. These big ACTORS get paid big bucks to ACT. Not be themselves. Well, unfortunately that's exactly what a lot do get paid to do now. Just be you and put your spin on something. And we won't actually write the script until the day of.
Anyway, the only reason I bring that up is because nothing Han did in this trailer, felt like Han. And a trailer is supposed to peak our interest- not dissuade us from wanting to go see something.

Amen. And don’t slam filmmakers and actors for how a studio’s marketing department splices together scenes and clips of dialogue (often, completely out of context) to put together a trailer.

I don't think they're too worried about emulating Harrison Ford. At least it doesn't seem the case to me. It seems like he's doing his own thing, playing the character his own way. Which is the way it has to be.
I liked the teaser, and this trailer well enough. But I really can't escape the feeling of "Hey, they made a movie about Han's kid brother. Cool."

Agreed, when are we going to get some of that great non-cheesy OT dialogue, like "laser brain" and "laugh it up fuzzball"?

That was cheesy too. Most everyone accepts the OT cheese for whatever reason. A New Hope is not my favorite SW film mostly because of the bad acting, bad dialogue and cheesy deliveries. If A New Hope came out today I'd probably say 'meh'.
I guess I wanted to watch that trailer and go "Oh cool!" But it didn't make me feel that way. Maybe I'm just jaded. I hope it does well and people like it but I have a feeling I just won't be into it.

I'm officially more excited for this than I was for R1 or TLJ.

So, is this the Solo pre-release thread or the Salt Mines of Kessel?
