I genuinely feel bad for whoever is cast as Han Solo. I'm not entirely convinced that he will get a fair, objective chance to shine in the role.

It'll likely have to be an unknown, young guy

And I bet there will definitely be a portion of the internet (tumblr) complaining that we have another white male Han Solo.

Donald Glover for Han Solo. Michael Cera for Samuel L. Jackson's role in the next Tarrantino movie

Donald Glover for Lando would actually be pretty great.

[–]ssv-serenity 22ポイント23ポイント  (1子コメント)

It's an interesting thought, it'd be cool to see him play a suave character like that as opposed to his typecast roles

If Taron Egerton can do an American accent and grow his hair out I'd go with him. He's got the charm, the looks, and that mischievous asshole glint in his eye. The more I think about it the more I hope to god he can do a killer American accent. And of course Donald Glover as young Lando is so perfect that I have no doubt he won't even be considered.

[–]Fruit_Pastilles 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

He looks nothing like Harrison Ford though. Idk, haven't seen him in any movies so maybe he could change my mind.

Reminds me. I gotta watch Kingsman.

Ah, Chris Pratt you say?

[–]Graphitetshirt 50ポイント51ポイント  (10子コメント)

That's pretty much the opposite of what I said.

I'm a huge fan of the guy, but he can't be Han Solo, Starlord, Dino Beast Master AND possibly Indiana Jones. Plus he's too old to play a pre-New Hope Han

[–]JakkuScavenger 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

Chris Pratt might be a bit too old to play Han Solo before he met Luke and Obi-Wan at the cantina.

[–]enderandrew42 34ポイント35ポイント  (7子コメント)

I felt bad for Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto in Star Trek, and really all the actors in the reboot did a great job.

[–]realfinkployd 36ポイント37ポイント  (3子コメント)

Zachary Quinto owned that role.

[–]RedChaous 32ポイント33ポイント  (2子コメント)

Seriously, Quinto was probably the best choice for the role. The only issue is the crap lines and such that he had to play. The other (really) great pick was Karl Urban.

[–]novanada 15ポイント16ポイント  (0子コメント)

dammit man I'm a doctor, not a torpedo technician.

Urban nailed it. The new Spock needs to work on making his voice deeper though.

Me too. I loved both Star Treks, and they are criminally underpaid for the size of the productions too.

[–]megatom0 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Did I miss them being criticized for their portrayal? I felt like regardless of how people felt about those films they typically all liked the cast. To me it is crazy to criticize Pine, Quinto, or Urban, they were all spot on while adding their own to it.

I really liked him in Tron legacy, I think he could carry the film.

[–]Raziel66 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

He can definitely pull of that sort of apathetic attitude of "I'm here for the paycheck and then I'm out" that Solo had.

If they don't go the unknown route I'd definitely love to see this happen. Especially with Tron apparently not happening :(

[–]djblackdavid 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's a good choice.

[–]saskatchewan_kenobi 40ポイント41ポイント  (26子コメント)

The only person who actually looks like harrison ford is the young youtube guy who played a young harrison ford in age of adaline.

[–]Bodymaster 49ポイント50ポイント  (23子コメント)

This guy?

I mean yeah, he looks like Han, but the impression is a bit off to me, like more of a pastiche on Han with all the eyebrow wiggling and whatnot, rather than a decent impersonation. It makes me cringe slightly.

[–]Snowcrash24 36ポイント37ポイント  (8子コメント)

I think they should avoid casting an impressionist. The actor should be able to stand on his own or else he'll just be seen as a gimmick.

[–]aatencio91 15ポイント16ポイント  (0子コメント)

I've only seen the gruber kid in that video, but it's really (and I hate using this word) cringey. He looks the part, sure, but I don't know if I could ever take him seriously. Like you said, the actor needs to be able to stand on his own, and this guy's history is, as far as I know, impressions of Han Solo on YouTube and playing young Harrison Ford in Age of Adeline. I don't want to see Han Solo handed to someone who can't honor the character while making him their own.

[–]IXGhOsTX1 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

Well he has already played a young Harrison Ford in a movie this year.

[–]Snowcrash24 16ポイント17ポイント  (0子コメント)

And the entire time I was watching him in that role I lost all immersion in the movie, and couldn't stop thinking about how hard he was trying to mimic Harrison Ford. It was a neat gimmick to carry the storyline forward but I would not want to see him do that in an entire movie.

[–]AspsVeryDangerous 5ポイント6ポイント  (3子コメント)

To be fair, that kid has already been in a film starring along side Harrison Ford as the younger version of him. He's not just an impressionist.

[–]saskatchewan_kenobi 7ポイント8ポイント  (8子コメント)

Yeah that impression isnt the best, but that was before he was cast as a young harrison ford so maybe he is better now. I only say so because he is the only person in hollywood that I might be able to suspend my disbelief enough for this movie to work.

[–]dannyboylee 2ポイント3ポイント  (7子コメント)

Same here. I really hope it's either him or Matthew Davis who gets the gig.

They both look so much like a young Harrison Ford that I'd buy it.

[–]TeutonJon78 8ポイント9ポイント  (4子コメント)

Too old -- HF was only 33-4 when filming Star Wars -- the actor is going to need to be late teens, early 20s at most.

[–]aatencio91 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Holy fuck Matthew Davis looks insanely similar to Harrison Ford.

[–]AmishAvenger 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Actually I think he plays a young Harrison in the Age of Adeline.

[–]AspsVeryDangerous 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

The impression is better than anything you are likely to get in this movie. They aren't looking for impressionists.

[–]jordanb18 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

As long as they vehemently ignore all casting suggestions from anyone with a reddit account I think they'll do okay. Can you imagine how bad Joseph Gordon-Levitt would be as Han Solo?

[–]cubshound 28ポイント29ポイント  (0子コメント)

I thought Chris Pratt was contractually obligated to take on all of Harrison Ford's past roles

[–]kelter20 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I recently watched Age of Adaline, and there is a guy playing a young version of Harrison Ford 's character in it, who actually looks quite a bit like him. I think he'd be a good choice. Anthony Ingruber

[–]BlackSkiff 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

You really are not casting for Han Solo as you are for Harrison Ford. Those are some crazy shoes to fill, but me thinks they already have someone in mind.

[–]5aucy 16ポイント17ポイント  (7子コメント)

Joseph Gordon-Levitt!

I guess the age depends, but yeah.

[–]DtrollMC 7ポイント8ポイント  (3子コメント)

I can picture him playing a decent solo.

[–]5aucy 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

He blew me away with how well he played a young Bruce Willis in Looper.

He naturally looks more like a younger Ford, though, so I'd imagine he could pull off a good Han.

[–]CrystalElyse 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was wondering what kind of crazy pills people were taking for thinking of JGL...... but he did do a DAMN good job in Looper. A few choice prosthetics and maybe it could work....

[–]dannyboylee 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

He's much better with duets.

[–]western78 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

JGL is actually the same age Harrison Ford was when they started shooting Star Wars. I would think they would need to cast somebody at least a decade younger.

[–]5aucy 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think it'd be hard for him to look 5-10 years younger that HF did. It's a different actor, so that makes it easy.

[–]EdKeenly 230ポイント231ポイント  (21子コメント)

Regarding new Han: We accepted Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan even though Alec Guinness played the iconic, original Obi-Wan. I think we can accept a new guy as Han Solo.

[–]riskbreaker23 80ポイント81ポイント  (8子コメント)

While I see your point, there are a few key differences. First, old obi wan wasn't a big character, han was. Second, we wanted more star wars movies before the prequels. You can't have the prequels without obi wan, he's a fundamental character. At which point it makes more sense to have him in as a younger self. Also, he was a major player in key events during the prequels. Some of us are fine with letting some of the characters remain in their small section of the galaxy. Hopefully this is some sort of heist movie, or fully explains how han, chewie, and the falcon do what they do and come together. Hopefully nothing too epic, absolutely no galaxy saving. Keep it a character piece and make sure the actor doesn't stray to far from the original character while not just being a Harrison Ford impersonator.

All that being said, I'm excited to see how this plays out. Your point is spot on about Ewan McGregor, he was an excellent obi wan. Hopefully lightning strikes again and we get a good young han solo.

[–]bogaboy 48ポイント49ポイント  (3子コメント)

I'm with you on it being small scale. I don't want to see hero Han save the universe, I want to see him rescue Chewie, win the Falcon, and steal some shit.

[–]riskbreaker23 19ポイント20ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hell yeah, man. I want scoundrel han. I want han shooting greedo first kind of scoundrel. Let the bad guy turn hero development exist in the OT.

[–]EdKeenly 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

I guess we will have to wait and see then! They've got 3 years to make this movie, so here's to it!

[–]samw3d 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

None of that matters at all. The only difficulty here is age - the story will likely take place very near the events of the original trilogy. The distance in 'time' between Ewan and Alec was enough to keep things plausible, but we're talking about a James Bond thing happening here - two actors playing the same 'phase' of a character.

[–]Magnavis_ 22ポイント23ポイント  (0子コメント)

But Obi Wan was an old man in A New Hope. Han Solo was already quite young..

[–]ThatPersonGu 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

Then again, what're the chances that we got someone as good as McGregor for Obi-Wan?

Oh please, people are discussing the movie. You damn well know the anti-circlejerk will have people saying the person did a great job, regardless of whether or not it's true.

[–]Actionhero29 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

One major problem with that is we know what a younger Han Solo looks like while we didn't know what a young Obi-Wan looked like. Not really at least. I hope it works out though.

[–]nightmare901 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

The difference is, that was a younger version of a character we first saw as an old guy. It made sense, since the prequels took place 20+ years before the OT. This is a MUCH shorter time period.

Although if they did it animated, I'd be fine with that.

[–]hanburgundy 180ポイント181ポイント  (8子コメント)

DAMMIT LUCASFILM. This was the one idea that I was 100%, totally opposed to seeing...

The Lego Movie should've just been a shovelware ad. The Jump Street films just needed to be a halfhearted reboot to make a return profit.

George still has the rights and he's postponing it a year to do his own film about young Greedo.

Greedo shoots first, then Solo.

The backstory novels they did in the early 80s weren't bad.

[–]the_jak 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

They did to a degree with the story of him at stars end.

There was a later trilogy in the late 90s that went from childhood up to waking in to the cantina in a new hope.

[–]clwestbr 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Same here. I'm antsy about this entire project. Episode 7, the spinoff films, I just don't think we need to make the universe this full onscreen this fast.

[–]Iheartchickennuggets 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yeah this has the potential to be really bad. I thought the whole point of the anthology films was to tell a new story.

[–]aatencio91 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't want to write it off, though. It could end up being pretty good. It's got potential to be great or awful, and it's a lot easier to make an awful movie than a pretty good one.

[–]grim_melee 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

I am seriously so happy I might cry right now. The fact that Phil Lord and Chris Miller are making it removes any kind of doubt and worry I would have about a prequel film with a recast young Han Solo.

[–]RequiemEternal 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm a little worried there'll be too much. A new Star Wars movie feels like a really special thing right now, but if it becomes a yearly franchise people will get very burned out on it and it'll just feel like "Oh, another Star Wars movie".

[–]Saeka 139ポイント140ポイント  (32子コメント)

Damn. I really want to see a Kenobi on Tattooine movie with Ewan.

[–]elliottstanger 78ポイント79ポイント  (6子コメント)

Well there's still one unannounced Anthology film, no plans of stopping there, Ewan McGregor has said he'd love to come back, and it's a guaranteed money maker. Don't lose hope yet.

[–]rothulfossil_ 31ポイント32ポイント  (0子コメント)

Why would I lose hope? Obi-Wan is my only hope!

[–]CyanRam 48ポイント49ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hmm, maybe they're just letting him age a bit more to further resemble Alec Guinness and maybe we'll see a young Luke as well.

[–]Practicalaviationcat 9ポイント10ポイント  (3子コメント)

Plus we've got time. He could still play the role as long as he looks younger than Alec Guinness and that will take some time.

edit: in fact I think I would prefer he gets a little older first. It would be a hard movie to get right but boy do I want to see it.

[–]aMotoVadered 12ポイント13ポイント  (2子コメント)

Me too. There is an old canon book titled Kenobi, about just that. The book wasn't all that great though, but I'm sure they could come up with a better story for a movie.

[–]AspsVeryDangerous 3ポイント4ポイント  (6子コメント)

If they do a young Obi-Wan movie, I'm hoping we'd at least see him off Tatooine.

[–]llTehEmeraldll 12ポイント13ポイント  (5子コメント)

Personally I'd love the film to be a western set on Tatooine, just like the book Kenobi.

[–]AspsVeryDangerous 4ポイント5ポイント  (4子コメント)

If they hadn't used Tatooine so damn much outside of ANH, I'd be more inclined to agree!

[–]gaylordqueen69 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

With Darth Maul as the baddy.

[–]ragablagah 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'd love this a lot, Ray Park playing him with Sam Witwer providing the voice.

We know Maul was still alive after The Clone Wars and still having some degree of power over a crime syndicate. They could have it that Ben has to go end his nemesis once and for all, and being rid of that anger and acknowledgement of his Dark Side (kinda like Yoda did in The Lost Missions) allows him to finally become a Force Ghost.

The next Star Wars comic issue is supposed to be an Old Ben one, so we'll have to see what direction it's taking and whether Ben will risk revealing himself.

[–]Ecnot 43ポイント44ポイント  (15子コメント)

Gonna be weird seeing somebody else than Ford playing Han.

Same thing happened with Obi-Wan. Ewan McGregor was phenomenal.

[–]matty25 34ポイント35ポイント  (7子コメント)

Agreed. I wish they would have made the movie about someone else.

[–]RogueLeaderJ 14ポイント15ポイント  (5子コメント)

I agree. There is absolutely no need to go back and rehash characters we already know and love in a universe as big as Star Wars. Plenty of other material.

C- for effort Disney.

[–]mrbigglessworth 44ポイント45ポイント  (2子コメント)

We know NOTHING of Han before ANH. We just know he is a smuggler and has Chewie as a Co-Pilot and that there is a bad blood between him and Jabba.

Let go of all that EU BS and let the story be told.

[–]nightmare901 19ポイント20ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's exactly the point. We know bits and pieces of Han's backstory - he won the Millenium Falcon from Lando, He used to be a smuggler, and he's got bad blood with Jabba. Ultimately, if the prequels have taught us anything, it's that we don't need to know the details about any of this. THIS is the kind of stuff that makes Star Wars great, the general open-endedness that sparks discussion. If they delve into Han's backstory, and it disappoints, there's no going back.

[–]matty25 10ポイント11ポイント  (0子コメント)

Agreed.

And it wouldn't even be so bad if it was Boba Fett or a more minor character.

But we have 3 movies with Han (and presumably 3 more) and Harrison Ford played him to perfection. We don't need someone else playing Han.

[–]yurtyybomb 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

I can't imagine someone playing Han besides him. They're obviously gonna have to focus on a pretty young, probably teenage Han... but even then, that's still going to be weird.

[–]IPman501 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]grntplmr 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm all for Rogue One, but spin offs that are prequels based around big names like Han just make me feel like there's about 9 people in the whole Galaxy. Not everything needs to be about a Solo or a Skywalker, I want to see the rest of their universe and meet new people with no ties to the past of the franchise other than alliances.

[–]SmokingThunder 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm a tentative thumbs up on this. I am worried about casting, but in terms of an "young origin story" film I would much prefer to do this than a Yoda, Obi-Wan or Mace Windu movie. I think there are alot of creative plots they could do with this.

[–]keithtbarker 63ポイント64ポイント  (12子コメント)

I am really not into this. Why can't we get a new story. It's not that I don't care how Han got his start....but leave that for books and comics. Not saying that whoever is cast won't be great in their own right, but I have zero interest in seeing someone else play Han Solo. I'm satisfied with the intro to Han that we have now, in A New Hope

[–]Actionhero29 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

Honestly I'm not really ok with it either. I kind of hope they cast Han as being very young. Like in his teens. This may make it less of a hard recast.

[–]AChanceRay 10ポイント11ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, to me, this has bad news written all over it and is going to take some special elements and success in key areas for it to go over well. And I'm not even that picky when it comes to films.

I agree. Lawrence Kasdan means this has a lot of potential, but I'm worried that this will ruin the character rather than make it better, in the same way the the Anakin Skywalker content of being a Whitney kid really didn't help Vader's image as a villain.

They made the Lego Movie, literally a movie that could have been little more than a 90m toy commercial, and they made it funny and heartfelt. I think they can handle Han.

A bit strange they're announcing this just days before Comic Con. One would think they'd want to announce it there.

[–]EveryGoodNameIsGone 33ポイント34ポイント  (9子コメント)

And my enthusiasm for the anthology films was dampened significantly.

Come on, LFL/Disney, let's focus on other nooks and crannies of the universe. Rogue One was an indication that this is what you were doing. This is the exact opposite of that.

Having said that, I would actually like to see an Obi-Wan anthology film set on Tatooine between III and IV. So I guess I'm a hypocrite.

[–]MakinDessert 13ポイント14ポイント  (6子コメント)

plot synopsis

Obi Wan listens from afar as young Luke Skywalker whines and complains to his aunt and uncle.

But seriously, thats like a Malefecient film in the Star Wars Universe. Someone watching someone grow up from afar. Everyonce in a while jumping in when they are about to run off a cliff.

[–]EveryGoodNameIsGone 15ポイント16ポイント  (5子コメント)

There's plenty of other stuff he can do other than watch over Luke. Hell, I don't even want to see Luke or the Larses much at all - make it a spaghetti Western style movie where he has to, I don't know, help a town fight off Tusken raiders while Yoda and Qui-Gon telepathically communicate with him to teach him how to become a Force ghost and come to terms with everything that happened to him and Anakin in III.

So, basically you want the Kenobi book filmed?

[–]EveryGoodNameIsGone 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Haven't read it, but sure!

On that subject, I'd be very happy to see Legends material canonized in the form of anthology film adaptations. A Darth Bane anthology film/series would be amazing, for instance.

I guess you could say it'll be a... Solo Film.

No no no. Thank YOU.

I'm surpised at all the negativity here. I for one and PSYCHED! I love Lord and Miller, and will happily see any of their movies, especially a Star Wars movie.

[–]agentspymonkey 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

Im literally giddy. A Han Solo movie written by Lawrence Kasdan and directed by the makers of the Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street. This is the best news I've heard since I've heard since the news of Episode 7.

Holy shit the negativity is through the roof. Come on people, just be happy that you're even getting Star Wars films. Two years prior to this we all would've scoffed it they announced new Star Wars movies in disbelief. Plus, I have a feeling this is just the beginning for the new era of Star Wars and Disney has plenty of money to shell out for new movies with new characters. They want to play it safe and start with established characters that will draw us in to the new franchise so that we believe they can make good movies.

"Just be happy" is precisely the wrong attitude to have. The worst thing that could happen to the Star Wars franchise is that Disney just shovels out product to fill spots of their yearly earning reports. I want great films that exist because there is a great story to tell. I don't want uninspired mediocre action films.

It's a Han Solo prequel, possibly leading up to the Mos Eisley cantina.

[–]nightmare901 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

Oh great. I swear to god, if they reshoot the cantina scene, Genisys-style, I'm getting a goddamn refund.

Channing Tatum as Han solo and Jonah Hill as chewie.

I'm not sure if I can get excited about this yet, I don't want a full on comedy but I have faith they can pull it off. Whoever they cast as Han has an impossible job, good luck to whoever has that mountain to climb.

Also I guess that they won't be directing 23 Jump Street or the Flash movie, that's a shame.

I agree that we don't need a Solo solo film, but if do think that if anyone can pull it off, these guys can.

[–]PhantomJB93 1ポイント2ポイント  (3子コメント)

I know people are worried about casting a young Han but this was already done with Obi-Wan and Ewan McGregor wound up giving one of the most memorable performances of the entire saga, and managed to give a believable representation of the character while standing on his own and not seeming like an "impression" or anything of Alec Guiness.

So there's at least hope.

So that makes it two Anthology films set between III and IV.

[–]RandomJPG6 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

These guys are announced for a new movie like every other week. Also somebody hire Gareth Evans for a Star Wars spin-off.

[–]JakkuScavenger 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Guys! Guys! Stop suggesting actors, it's quite clear what will happen: Harrison Ford will play Han Solo and ILM will digitally de-age him in post!

[–]alkyjason 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm down.

Early Han Solo seems to have an interesting back story. It's implied that Solo knows or has encountered Boba Fett before, so there's a chance he will be in it. Same with Jabba the Hutt. Maybe they will show how Chewie came to owe Han a life debt. If I remember right he got the Millennium Falcon from Lando so maybe they will tap into that a little bit. I can't wait.

I just can't find interest in seeing someone else play Han Solo. Well I want to work, it just poisons the idea of it for me.

Do we really need a Han Solo film? Or for that matter, any anthology films? I know it's to expand the universe or whatever, but is it that important that it has to be a film in the same league as the sequel trilogy? I hope these 3 anthologies are the only one. I'd rather not see a yearly Star Wars film because it destroys the impact of actually having one come out.

[–]timorwhatever 1ポイント2ポイント  (12子コメント)

I think Disney is trying to mimic the success of the Marvel films, and I am okay with that to a degree. Star Wars has such a wonderful and beautiful world...well, galaxy, to explore outside of the trilogies, with hundreds of characters and stories to tell that new canon in the forms of books or comics or video games cant quite capture as well as film. With that being said, I definitely dont want an episode 10-12, and dozens of other films tossed in. I think three anthology films and a new trilogy is just perfect. Maybe a live action series on Netflix about bounty hunters.

At least Kasdan is writing for it. That gives me some hope. I agree with /u/SkyHookofKsp about feeling bad for whoever is cast, though. It'll be really tough to see someone who isn't Harrison Ford as Han Solo.

[–]timorwhatever 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I sincerely hope that they aren't doing this because Han gets killed in VII...

Edit: ...not claiming that this is what I believe, just that I hope it's because they just want to do a solo Solo film.

(pasted from my podcasts blog)

The next film in the Star Wars Anthology series of spin-off films has been announced. Whilst no title has been released, the film will be about a young Han Solo and how he “became the smuggler, thief, and scoundrel whom Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi first encountered in the cantina at Mos Eisley”.

When the Disney/Lucasfilm deal was announced, as well as the plans for the future of Star Wars – I really didn’t know how to feel. In the space of a few hours I went from utter repulsion, to cautious optimism and eventually in to the hyped fanboy that I am now. But there has always been some hesitance to one particular element of that initial announcement – the spin-off films.

Now known as the ‘Star Wars Anthology’ series, these spin-offs were initially reported to be origin films, with most places citing Yoda, Boba Fett and Han Solo as the first three in the works. Although I think opening up the franchise beyond the episodic saga is a great idea that opens up so many different possible avenues (hey, it’s basically the EU in film form), I am very unsure if origin stories are the way to go. I would much rather get the opportunity to fall in love with new characters than explore the backstories of already beloved ones, just like what they seem to be doing with Gareth Edwards ‘Rogue One’.

Since the Disney acquisition, everything has been about pushing Star Wars forward. Even things like the ‘Star Wars Rebels’ series, whilst set prior to the original trilogy, focus on brand new characters. This is why I can’t help but feel like this announcement seems like a bit of a step backwards. Up until this point, the Anthology films have seemed like more of a sandbox for emerging talent to play in the Star Wars universe, similar to how George Lucas originally visioned the series in the very early days. But origin stories? To me that seems more like a choice that was probably made by the higher ups to cash in on the recognition of characters like Han, Yoda and Boba Fett.

But there is something about this that makes me optimistic and that is the team behind it. Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the guys responsible for the bloody LEGO Movie are directing! And to top that? Lawrence Kasdan, the man who writes Han Solo the best will be helming the screenplay, along with his son. This suggests to me that the folks at Lucasfilm are very well aware that fans will be hesitant at the mere idea of a young Han Solo movie and are letting us know that it is in safe hands by putting a great team behind it.

And you know what? Han Solo isn’t necesarily a bad character to explore the backstory of. Unlike delving in to how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader, this isn’t a ‘see how a good man became evil’ story. Han is a scoundrel and we’re likely gonna see just that. Hell, one of the most loved pieces of the Star Wars Legends novels is a trilogy about a Young Han Solo!

But I haven’t touched on the elephant in the room – who should play a younger Han Solo? Well…I’ve got nothing. No doubt the internet will be full of cries for Chris Pratt or Nathan Fillion to take the role, but they have done very similar parts in the past and I’m sure they would like to try other things. One guy who does stand out though is Anthony Ingruber, who played a younger Harrison Ford in ‘Age of Adaline’. I haven’t actually seen the film, but he looks and sounds the part and from all accounts did a great job in it. I’m sure as well that more of an unknown actor would be beneficial in helping us get to grips with somebody else playing the role.

All in all, I’m not completely sold on the concept on an origin film for Han Solo – but it does have potential. If anything my excitement is coming from the team behind it and not the idea itself. I’m cautiously optimistic about the whole thing, the potential and talent behind the project to make this a really fun movie are all there and I look forward to seeing it on the big screen.

Underwhelmed. I thought they could have come up with something more original after hearing about the Rogue Squadron movie, I was hoping they would be able to find different new characters AND try a different film genre as well. Having a Han Solo back story can only detract from his character, actually Return of the Jedi already did that, more screen time will only make it worse.

Love the directors. May give us another movie with Peter Mayhew and how Han meets Chewbacca.

I'm with /u/skyhookofksp, whomever is cast as Han will have a really rough time. Kind of like the kid who just got cast as spiderman for the 3rd modern adaption of that character.

Sort of conflicted on if it will be good or not, but frankly I love the stuff that Lord and Miller make. As long as it feels like a Star Wars film that is all that matters to me. Best of luck to the directors, writers (but it is Lawrence Kasdan and his son so no worries) and the poor bugger who gets cast as Solo. I hope the fan base isn't too harsh on whoever gets cast in the role.

Lord, Miller? Animated movie. Please.
