I don't like the idea of a young han solo movie but since they've done it, I'd rather the actor they have (after an extensive search) than someone trying to imitate Harrison Ford the whole movie. Especially since, as others have said, he shouldn't be the Han we know from IV yet.

And is that Alpha 5 in the co-pilot's seat? Not sure I can handle the destruction of another wise-cracking droid with a heart o' gold.

Also, is the cloud scene part of the Kessell run?

This will be the performance that will either make or break the movie.
At some point early on, we have to buy him as Han.
But Clarke looks good, and the look of the film really seems spot on.
FWIW, I think Ms. Clarke looks much more sexy in her normal hair color than the GoT blonde we are all used to.

Agreed.

I'm getting the feeling any enthusiasm I have for this is going to wax and wane as more footage gets released right up to opening day.
This is why I avoid trailers/teasers after the initial release of one.
Seen too many movies over the years and don't need a lot of information to make an educated guess about an upcoming movie and...I want to be surprised!

here's what Harrison Ford looked and sounded like in 1966, a decade (plus) before SW:ANH. Just thought it'd be interesting to see and post.

That’s exactly the Young Han Solo we all wanted

Looked OK. I'm sure they'll have a new Solo trailer attached to Black Panther.

A lot of passive agressive shit from Schmoes know, you can tell they are secretly pissed. We all know your schills for Disney. I'll say the trailer is passable, but no one at Lucasfilm can be trusted to deliver here.

Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018, D: Miller/Lord and Ron Howard)

Visually, it looked very Rogue One'ish which is a great thing as I love the look of that film. I'm hoping the tone is Rogue One'ish too as that movie was very serious but had just enough touch of humor in it. Sadly, it looks like Solo is going to try to be more funny and that is usually a bad sign when the comedy is forced (TLJ and The PT are a perfect example). I think we have to see the movie before we judge the actor playing Han Solo, as there just isn't enough footage to really get a good gauge.

I didn't get that from the teaser/trailer at all.

Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018, D: Miller/Lord and Ron Howard)

I’m not sure what I’m even supposed to be watching for in that Schmoes Know video. Or would I just be stoking a fire that isn’t even there?

Just going by who posted it, I assume it's meant for man-children living in their parents' basement... aaaand totally worth skipping.

I really don't like the look of Ehrenreich.

Just change the name of the movie to Lando and be done with it.

Clarke looks great.

Old Han Solo has better hair than young Han Solo.
