Han Solo: A Star Wars Story

lol woody harrelson, it better be funny.

This actor actually looks and sounds the part. The actor they chose doesn't look or sound anything like Ford and actually got acting lessons during shooting the movie.

It looks like Star Wars, but it certainly doesn't look like Han Solo. Even worse, it doesn't sound like Han Solo watching the trailer, and the few lines he said certainly don't seem like Han Solo.

So batting one for four on this? I mean I'll watch it, but I think they would be far better off telling some new stories because this is going to be a hard pass for many people...

He was in Age of Adaline as the younger version of the character of played by Harrison Ford https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Harrison-Ford-Talking-About-Anthony-Ingruber-38144215

He would have been perfect for this Han Solo movie, not sure why that other actor was chosen.

Whether anyone likes it or not ... we are going to be force-fed (pun intended) Star Wars for the rest of our lives. When Disney bought out the franchise they had a plan to recoup their costs, and we are now seeing that come to fruition. Disney is over-saturating the market in an effort to max profit which ends up diluting the quality of the product. This effect can be evidenced by the fact that certain viewers within the market actually considered TFA and TLJ as "good" Star Wars.

And Disney will kill us with how much Star Wars we are going to get. Part of what has kept it "cool" for the public for so long was that we only got a small amount of movies in a very long time frame. There was always a mystery behind it all even with the EU. Now literally everything is going to be explained in a movie even the stupid design flaw in the death star that didn't need one. Every character that is popular is going to get their own movie. It's diluting the product. To me that's what happened to Star Trek, so many movies, TV shows, it dilutes what was there.

New trailer, looks promising.

Spoiler

Chewbacca is 190 years old at this point in time. Still young for a Wookiee, whose average lifespan is 400 standard years,

Music is pretty bad.
While the trailer certainly gets me excited, I will state again that it's a story we need not know. It's never going to do "Han Solo" justice.





























I will be there opening night.... as always.

 

[Majes]

I'm going to try to forget that it's a story about Han Solo when I watch it. Im just going to keep saying "Generic Star Wars" over and over in my head. Hopefully I won't be too disappointed then.

And Disney knows that. People will say the right things (won't do Han justice, looks bad, etc.) but everyone will still go to the theaters to watch it.

 

[ultimatebob]

At least the Comic Book Guys of the world will come to see it, just so they can say that it was the Worst... Star Wars... Evar!

Although it would have to be really bad to bypass the low bar set by the prequel movies.

Yeah - that's a given. I will say though that Disney I think is starting to overplay their hand a bit. They are saturating the market with Star Wars movies and it seems to me the public (at least those I talk to ranging from SW Super Nerds to casual observers to haters) all feel the same way "it's a little too much and too fast/frequent". The movies are no longer "events" when they are coming out every 12 months (or less in Solo's case).

Yeah, most of my friends aren't planning on seeing Solo in theater. I'm going to force some of them to see it with me, by ordering the tickets and taking them to dinner, but there's only so much I can do.

Much more excitement for Infinity War and Deadpool 2 around here...

 

[zerocool84]

Meh I'm not in any hurry to see this. I may watch it in the theaters but that's just because I have movie pass. I definitely wouldn't pay extra to see this at all.

 

[PottedMeat]

ron howard generally puts together a good movie, i'm curious in how he does in cleanup duty.

i'm definitely more interested in this than the mess they're gluing together for the trilogy, but not by much.

 

[dasherHampton]

lol I was told that the producers called in acting coaches in a panic to work with the lead.

 

[local]

How many times will they try to create tension by putting Han/Chewie/Lando in mortal danger even though we already know they survive? That is one thing I liked about RO, very few people had to survive and none of them were major characters.

 

[local]

lol I was told that the producers called in acting coaches in a panic to work with the lead.

I read that was because the original directors were going for too much comedy and when the producers watched the daily cuts thought it was the lead being bad at acting. Eventually the lead and others got the producers on set to see they were being told to act that way and that is when the original directors got canned.

Either way I am not feeling this actor as a young Han they should have used that guy in the vid a few posts up.

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Honestly, the last trailer made it look pretty good.

If they just do an Oceans 11 style "heist" movie with Star Wars characters and a few obligatory CGI space battles, there's no reason it can't be pretty kickass.

 

[paperfist]

I didn't see the trailer yet but have been reading some buzz about Chewwy having a new friend?

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Eh. Not feeling it.

 

[UsandThem]

The trailer didn't do anything for me, but that could be from the bad taste left in my mouth from watching 'The Last Jedi'.

I'll still watch it, but will likely wait until it falls to the discount movie theater here before it goes to Blu-ray.

 

[snoopy7548]

Not really excited for this one. Sort of feels like another Marvel movie... Star Wars: The Avengers. Maybe one Star Wars-related movie a year is actually too much. I did really like Rogue One, though, but TLJ was terrible.

 

[shortylickens]

I been trying to avoid spoilers of all sorts. Want to fully enjoy the experience.

Decided to see Black Panther today. Only 6 bucks. (the water was 5 bucks)

Went out of my way to show up late. No luck. Saw the Solo trailer against my wishes. Spoiled everything. Think I may just skip it entirely.

 

[JEDI]

psst.. he dies decades later from a sword thru the gut.
but not b4 he becomes a General, marries a princess and (depending on source) has fraternal twins

 

[shortylickens]

Married?

I thought he just fucked her brains out and had some kiddies!
