Ford's great, but I'm sure the new guy will be a good Han.

Yes, but not just that, like they did with Indy 3, you know they're going to hit all his defining characteristics, like winning the Falcon from Lando, why he's so cynical, why Chewie owes him, heck, they'll probably get into the origin of his vest too.

I'm not interested in any of that shit. There's so much potential in the SW universe, and they keep mining the OT for more and more 'Member Berries. Starting to get a little tired of it. Nostalgia is the mind killer.

Agreed completely. It's a lot easier to churn out a product featuring the greatest hits of a character so audiences can go 'a ha! I recognize that' than coming up with a compelling new story.

How is Han's backstory a greatest hits?

Instead of a good story unfolding in an organic fashion, this movie is likely to repeat beats from the first movies while ham-handedly moving from one Han characteristic(Falcon, Chewie, Lando) to the next. It's possible that this movie won't feel forced, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

1. That pic is fine. I'm sure you can't tell who Han after everyone is in costume.

2. Miller and Lord? Neat.

3. The Force Awakes was alright. And Rogue One was excellent.

4. Opening up the whole universe and letting the directors put a little stamp on each film is awesome. I expect this to be 80% Star Wars and 20% Miller-Lord.

5. Donald Glover is kicking arse. Derrick Comedy Youtube Videos > Mystery Team movie > Writer on 30 Rock > Childish Gambino > Community > The Martian > Atlanta > Star Wars

re: Star Wars Anthology: Untitled Han Solo Film (2018, D: NOT Miller & Lord)

Disney CEO Bob Iger shed a little more light on the upcoming young Han Solo movie at a USC event Thursday, providing details about the “Star Wars” universe film centered around the pilot iconically played by Harrison Ford.

In an interview with USC Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism Dean Willow Bay — also Iger’s wife — in Santa Monica, he said the still-untitled film, scheduled for release on May 25, 2018, will cover Solo’s life from the ages of 18 to 24 and show him finding the Millennium Falcon, meeting Chewbacca and obtaining his name.

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are directing the movie, which stars Alden Ehrenreich as the title character. The film also features “Atlanta” star Donald Glover, who plays Lando Calrissian, “Game of Thrones'” Emilia Clarke, “Westworld’s” Thandie Newton, Woody Harrelson, Joonas Suotamo and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Iger also said that this year’s “Star Wars” film, “The Last Jedi,” will not be changed on account of the death of Carrie Fisher, who played Princess-turned-General Leia Organa in the movie franchise. He added that Mark Hamill, who plays Luke Skywalker, will have a substantial speaking role in the film.

Earlier Thursday, Iger agreed to a one-year extension to his contract as Disney’s chairman and CEO, which will extend his term to July 2, 2019

I've been behind Disney so far with how they've handled properties like Marvel and Star Wars but this film is just feeling really iffy to me. Not really sure why it needs to exist other than to make money.

I take the "obtaining his name" part to mean gaining his reputation as a smuggler, etc.

Or, though possibly unlikely, they use some old expanded universe stuff and say he used to be a stormtrooper trainee. After all, we saw Finn "get his name" following FN-2187.

I think this will turn out to be a great movie. I like the casting so far, other than Emilia Clarke who imhas so far been terrible in everything she has appeared. For me she is the weak link in Game of Thrones, surrounded by people who can actually act.

This thing is sure getting crowded for a movie about a guy named "Solo."
