[MsMarvelDuckie]

Hmm, I wonder if this will be based on the Han Solo trilogy of books from way back?

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Hmm, I wonder if this will be based on the Han Solo trilogy of books from way back?

Considering Episode 7 is based in no major way on any of the other well-received EU Star Wars books...

Wouldn't bet on it.

[Peanut]

I love Star Wars, but the more I hear about these countless anthology films the more I begin to fear we're looking at another MCU and that scares the sh*t out of me.

[NinjaPug]

Ugh. I don't want to see an origin story about Han Solo. I wish Lucasfilm would use these Anthology flicks to explore lesser known characters or eras not yet captured on film.

[Raph's Girl]

Ugh. I don't want to see an origin story about Han Solo. I wish Lucasfilm would use these Anthology flicks to explore lesser known characters or eras not yet captured on film.

Lucasfilm? You mean Disney. :P

[CyberCubed]

Once they cast a new Han solo you can bet they're going to look to cast a young Luke Skywalker and Leia as well. They're probably going to do something like the new Star Trek reboot cast from 2009.

I don't think they would ever dare to remake the classic trilogy, but if they're going to cast all new young actors for Luke, Han, Leia it might be possible to see a new movie set right after Episode 6 when they're not too old.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I'd love to see them do movie versions of the Heir tot he Empire trilogy THAT was an awesome book series! Plus, Mara Jade- how can you go wrong? I'd cast Scarlet Johansson, or maybe Jennifer Lawrence.

Why not? His book trilogy was one of the better series of SW novels, and goes into how he and Chewie met and became friends, among other things. There was also a series on Lando, too.

[ProactiveMan]

I hope it's not a River Phoenix, Last Crusade situation, because that was a little too cute. I didn't really need to see Indiana Jones as a boyscout with a lady's haircut, and I don't particularly want to see some tude-exuding youngster running around in Han Solo's vest.

[chrisdude]

Seems like this stuff is coming so fast. There's a lot to explore in Star Wars, but I don't see the rush. I don't have any particular fondness for Han Solo. I'm way more interested in Rogue One.

[TigerClaw]

What if they were to cast someone like Chris Pratt as young Han Solo?

[NinjaPug]

What if they were to cast someone like Chris Pratt as young Han Solo?

Pratt is 5 years older than Ford was when he shot ANH.

[snake]

F*ck no to Pratt. Cast some unknown guy.

And I like this idea, although it would be a lot better if these films were spaced out more.

[ZariusTwo]

Apparently the title of the film was leaked from San Diego this morning

Fett/Solo

Could be bogus, but we'll find out for sure later

[CyberCubed]

Han Solo was the most popular hero in the original trilogy.

[Peanut]

Can someone please tell me all the current Star Wars projects that have been announced or confirmed existing as of this point? I feel like it's entirely impossible to keep up with any of this sh*t anymore.

[CyberCubed]

Aside from Episodes 7-9, there's:

- Rogue Leader which apparently comes out next year

- Boba Fett film

- Han Solo film

There's also rumors of a Yoda and Obi Wan film coming too, but I'm not sure if those have been confirmed yet. Obi Wan would be played by the same actor who played him in the prequels and I would be fine with that.

[sdp]

There is a new Star Wars movie scheduled every year starting this year with The Force Awakens. There's rumors of other movies like a Boba Fett one but the only ones with actual dates are:

Dec '15 - Force Awakens
Dec '16 - Rogue One
May '17 - Episode VII
May '18 - Han Solo
May '19 - Episode IX

I'm also afraid of over-saturation, I'm so excited for TFA but will I be as excited with multiple SW films every year? I think the reason I'm not interested in Marvel movies is because there's so many of them. Would I be as excited for Batman V Superman if DC released 3 movies every year? One SW film a year I think I can deal with. But Rogue One and Ep. VIII are mere months apart though technically there's still only one movie "per year".

Hope Disney takes it easier with SW than with the MCU. I'm really just not intersted in Rogue One, there's plenty of other stuff in SW that would be great to explore and not how they got the plans for the death star. That's better to be saved for a comic or book. I'd like a Han Solo movie eventually but not now...I'd rather see something we aren't familiar with or know about, at least for now. The only exception would maybe be an Obi Wan movie since Ewan Mcgregor is a decent Obi Wan and I'd be ok with him taking the character in one more adventure.

Now as far as the new Expanded Universe I'm definitely overwhelmed by it already and it's only months old, you can already tell that this "canon" EU is going to be just as messy as the old "Legends" EU. There's the on going comic and a few mini-series out already. We have the two TV shows, Clone Wars and Rebels, the Clone Wars movie. I think about 4 novels released already. I believe I also read about some kid activity books that are also "canon". For videogames we have the mobile game and Battlefront which are coming out. I'm guessing the Star Wars insider magazine and official website continue releasing new short stories/comics but now they are "canon". And of course there was the announcement of all the new comics/books/etc with the "Road to The Force Awakens" I read about a few weeks ago.

Let's see how it goes, if there is oversaturation then I guess I'll just skip some SW movies from time to time and watch them on video eventually. Heck I already feel like this, not all movies are going to be great but I'm sure there'll be plenty of great movies. This has always been true with the novels and comics, for all the stinkers there's some great stories. I'll just read/watch "good" star wars and care not for its official canonicity.

[Leo656]

People are just figuring out that more product isn't always better product, like, right now? Little late in the game, don't ya think? :lol: Of course Disney's gonna run it into the ground until nobody wants to hear about "Star Wars" ever again. They're Disney, it's what they do. And I say that as a fan.

I predict a lot of the movies will be Good to Amazing, but at least a couple of them are definitely going to make people nostalgic for the Prequels. I mean that's just a statistical certainty. They're doing too much, it can't ALL be good. But I think most of it will be good enough to make the rest excusable.

[TigerClaw]

Disney has narrowed down a shortlist of 8 actors that could play a young Han Solo for the Han Solo spinoff film.

Miles Teller
Ansel Elgort
Dave Franco
Jack Reynor
Scott Eastwood
Logan Lerman
Emory Cohen
Blake Jenner

[NinjaPug]

No no no no no. Anybody but Miles Teller as Han Solo. This movie is such a bad idea.

[Krutch]

Yeeeeeeaahhh I'm not liking any of these choices.

Especially Miles Teller.

[Foombamaroom]

PLEASE GOD NO, NONE OF THESE PEOPLE.

Just have Harrison Ford with CGI to make him look young.
Hell, just have Harrison Ford. Literally no one would complain.

Did they specify if Chewie's gonna be in it?

[plastroncafe]

That's a bunch of faces I've never seen alongside a bunch of names I don't recognize. Yup. Officially old.

Just from the looks of them though, Miles, Scott, and Blake are my favorites.

[Etsyturtle2]

Who is the dude in the first pic. The resemblance is uncanny.

[sdp]

I'd be interested in a Han Solo movie but maybe years down the road, not now. I don't care about how they got the death star plans either, how about an original story that has nothing to do with the stuff we already know?

If it has to be a story of something we already know then I'm ok with an Obi-Wan movie with Ewan Mcgregor while he can still do it or a Darth Vader movie on how he hunted down Jedi while Earl Jones is still alive to do the voice. I prefer that than shoehorning Vader into new movies. Han Solo if it's not Harrison Ford then it can wait many years. I mean if we got Harrison Ford in the spin-off film taking place before Episode VII then that's more interesting to me.

[Cure]

Scott Eastwood has my vote.

[Leo656]

None of them really look like him at all that I can see. Ah well.

[Commenter 42]

I'm, going to go with none of the above. DEFINITELY not Miles F'n Teller.

Did anyone watch the globes last night? Maybe it's just me, but, about 20 minutes in I was like "er...screw all these people?" Not sure what it was, from the self congratulatory Lady Gaga, to J'law's BS press rebuke, and including Tom Hanks insufferable admonishments of Denzel, I've lost all interest.

The new crew of "stars" are nothing of the sort. I don't want a new GD Han Solo, at all. Let the new breed prove their worth; time for them to show that they can build a timeless character of their own. The coat-tail ride is over.

[ProactiveMan]

We're going to hear the term "lovable rouge" in the media about 100,000 times before this movie is made.

I'm not taking a swing at Han Solo fans here, but it amuses me that when people of any notoriety discuss Star Wars in the media, the ones who say Han is their favorite character almost always say it's because he's a scoundrel. I suspect half of them don't know what scoundrel means.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

I wish they would just stick to the episode movies, and not oversaturate us with all this un-needed crap. Harrison Ford is untouchable as Han Solo, nobody wants to sit through 2 hours + of some knock off.

[Amaranthus]

I'm not even going to pick an actor. Because this movie shouldn't be made.
Disney is going to go all Marvel on Star Wars and I'm not happy with it.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Agreed. Harrison Ford = Han solo.

Episode 7-9 is all we need. They are just milking it for all the money they can get. Rather than leave Star wars with just the 9 episodes, your gonna end up getting loads of extra sh*t that no-one cares about, and that only are detrimental to the main movies.

[NinjaPug]

I'm fine with SW movies that are outside the Episode I - IX. This is a huge universe now and I'd love to see stories on screen outside of the Skywalker saga. That said, I think origin stories are a terrible idea especially for a character like Han Solo. I don't think there is anyway this movie isn't going to be a mess.

[plastroncafe]

I'm not even excited for Rogue One. I'll probably watch it, but not excited.
*Sigh*

[NinjaPug]

Alden Ehrenreich is the frontrunner for Han Solo. I'm just glad it's not Miles Teller.

http://deadline.com/2016/04/star-wars-han-solo-movie-alden-ehrenreich-frontrunner-cast-1201737425/

[TurtleTitan97]

Anyone would better than Miles Teller. :lol:

Still not 100% sold on this idea, but we'll see once a trailer hits.

[CyberCubed]

Guy looks nothing like Harrison Ford though. This sounds like a disaster in the making.

[sdp]

This yearly SW stuff is a mess; We just got the trailer for the new movie just a few months after the long awaited Episode VII, we're already getting plenty of pictures and reports from the filming of Episode VIII and the other spin-off is being cast. There's no room to breathe, how can I get excited about any of this if we're constantly bombarded with more. Contrast that with how all we would get is a few tidbits for Episode VII and once the teaser came out it was all we could think about and now our attention is on 3 different SW movies at the same time.

[CyberCubed]

There's this Han Solo movie, then a rumored Yoda movie, Obi-wan movie, and Boba Fett movie. And that's just from what we know now.

[ToTheNines]

Alden Ehrenreich is the frontrunner for Han Solo. I'm just glad it's not Miles Teller.

http://deadline.com/2016/04/star-wars-han-solo-movie-alden-ehrenreich-frontrunner-cast-1201737425/

I'm still salty that Teller was even considered.

[NinjaPug]

Ehrenreich got the role.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/young-han-solo-found-alden-877328

[Shred Head]

Well George Lucas should be happy after this movie the prequels will no longer be the butt of everyone's joke. I dont mind a Star Wars anthology movie but some things are not to be touched like the old major players getting recasted especially a role Harrison Ford used to play. Disney there is a very good reason why no one even remembers that Young Indiana Jones was ever a thing. You want to do a Yoda cartoon fine go ahead over 900 years of jedi history I'm sure something can be explored and Frank Oz's voice is awesome. Boba Fett sure as long as the kickass suit is there no one will care. An Obi-Wan movie I'm sure people would like to see one of the few good things the prequels had be in an actually good movie.

[ToTheNines]

He... looks nothing like Harrison Ford. And there's rumors that he'll be introduced in Rogue One. So he's not even "Young Han Solo", he's supposed to be "New Hope Han Solo".

[Raph's Girl]

Alden Ehrenreich is the frontrunner for Han Solo. I'm just glad it's not Miles Teller.

Alden Eherenreich is now officially Young Han Solo. He was introduced today at Star Wars Celebration in London. Never seen anything he's been in. Apparantly he was discovered 10 years ago by Speilberg at a Bat Mitsvah. :lol:

http://www.etonline.com/news/193418_alden_ehrenreich_officially_introduced_as_n ew_han_solo_at_star_wars_celebration/

[TigerClaw]

Here are panel highlights talking about the Han Solo movie.

EUnk90ALX5E

[CyberCubed]

The actor they chose literally looks nothing like Harrisson Ford. And he won't be able to capture Ford's subtle nuances in the way he played Han.

This just has trainwreck written all over it.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Such a bad idea, Hope this flops. The only spin off movies should have been Obi wan staring Ewa Mcgregor, set between 3 and 4. Or a Yoda movie. Better yet just do episode 7-9 and not milk the franchise to a bore.

[CyberCubed]

Guy looks nothing like Harrisson Ford at all. And this is supposed to be "young" Han solo? Isn't the actor barely any younger looking than Han was in Episode 4?

A disaster in the making. Truly a trainwreck. What were they thinking?

[Andrew NDB]

I could potentially be on board with this, but if it's just a "connect the dots" of every cryptic bit of dialogue from episode 4 about Kessel runs and parsecs and Chewbacca... best not.

And Kasdan's involvement? I'm skeptical. He might have more leeway here, but with Episode 7 it really seemed like he was just put around to throw ideas and thoughts to Abrams... so they could throw his name out there and co-opt things into the Episode 4 redux it was. A sacred cow name rolled out to make it seem like it was something other than Disney telling Abrams to recreate sh*t we already seen 30+ years ago to be like, "Ah ah ah... we got the main writers of pretty much agreed as the best loved OT movie under us... you can't hate this!" and build that shield over things.

[CyberCubed]

Harrison Ford has a very specific face that cannot be duplicated with any other actor.

Its not like the Star Trek reboot where all the new actors look reasonably similar to the 60's incarnations, especially Spock, etc. But with Star Wars you just can't do it, especially with Harrison Ford of all people.

[ProactiveMan]

That guy was pretty good in Hail Caesar (which is the only thing I've seen him in). I'm not enthused about a young Han Solo movie though, and I wish they would try some new ideas.

[Shark_Blade]

People especially the young generation don't know/don't remember/don't care about Han Solo of the old trilogy. Recasting him is no problem at all, even if he doesn't even look like him.

We replaced the Star Trek actors. We replaced Jack Nicholson's Joker with Heath Ledger, and now he's being replaced by Jared Leto. The world doesn't stop, all was well. :tcool:

I'm not even fussed about Solo's movie, might give this a pass.

[NinjaPug]

Such a bad idea, Hope this flops. The only spin off movies should have been Obi wan staring Ewa Mcgregor, set between 3 and 4. Or a Yoda movie. Better yet just do episode 7-9 and not milk the franchise to a bore.

Why do people want an Obi-Wan movie between III and IV? What a boring movie that would be. He was a hermit during that time.

[TigerClaw]

I wanna see a Han Solo movie, I wanna know about the Kessel Run, how he got the millennium Falcom from Lando, they are gonna have to cast a young Lando if he's in the movie.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I wanna see a Han Solo movie, I wanna know about the Kessel Run, how he got the millennium Falcom from Lando, they are gonna have to cast a young Lando if he's in the movie.

This is the problem with prequels. The Kessel Run, the Clone War, etc. were all a lot cooler in 1977 when no one knew quite what those things were. Prequels always take some unclear element like the Clone Wars and try to explain it and it always ends up sucking and being underwhelming.

[CyberCubed]

At least an Obi-wan movie would be better than this trainwreck. He doesn't even look like Han Solo/Harrisson Ford.

[Andrew NDB]

Maybe they could go the "Looper" route... where they added light prosthetics to Joseph Gordon-Levitt to make him look more like Bruce Willis.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Guy looks nothing like Harrisson Ford at all. And this is supposed to be "young" Han solo? Isn't the actor barely any younger looking than Han was in Episode 4?

100% agree. Pointless movie.

[NinjaPug]

At least an Obi-wan movie would be better than this trainwreck. He doesn't even look like Han Solo/Harrisson Ford.

I think this movie is a bad idea but not because Ehrenreich doesn't look exactly like Ford. That's just stupid.

[Foombamaroom]

Give us an Old Republic movie. Not this crap.

[CyberCubed]

An Obi-wan film about him getting revenge on Darth Maul and killing him will be cool. Darth Maul is still around in Star Wars Rebels and that would also likely be the time period where an Obi-Wan movie would take place.

Have Obi-Wan kill Darth Maul to avenge Qui-Gonn's death. I'd watch it.

You don't like Star Wars at all? What?

Why are you reading the Star Wars comics Marvel is putting out then?

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

You don't like Star Wars at all? What?

I like some part of Star Wars; just not the movies. The EU is where it's at. :trazz:

And the new Marvel comics are actually pretty great...

[sdp]

A Darth Maul/Obi Wan movie? Hell yeah!

I mean I don't like the idea of Obi Wan fighting but if they're already pissing all over the franchise by having Jedi when there aren't supposed to then might as well do cool stuff on film with it. This is the movie everyone wants because Ewan Mcgregor is the perfect age to play an older Obi Wan and he already was.


No one is asking for a young Han Solo, at least not now I have zero interest. We just saw him die in Ep.VIII played by Ford give the character a rest. I'm sure I"d be all over a Han Solo movie ten years after Ep. IX finishes but not now, it's not the time. I'd rather see movies from actors that are still alive today or other characters I've never heard of. Play the nostalgia card a little more subtly Disney. I love Star Wars but as soon as I'm getting warmed up to the new Rogue One movie all these information on Episode VIII and now the Solo film appears and kills my excitement for anything SWs again.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Obi-Wan doesn't do vengeance. By the time Episode III has finished, he KNOWS how dangerous and treacherous the path to the Dark Side is. He's not going to do the same.

An Obi-Wan movie would be cool; even bringing back Darth Maul could work. But vengeance as the whole angle would fall flatter than Humpty Dumpty after being run over with a steamroller.

[CyberCubed]

I like some part of Star Wars; just not the movies. The EU is where it's at. :trazz:

And the new Marvel comics are actually pretty great...

Not even in the original films? I find that very strange. They still hold up to this day and have great fun moments and well done action scenes. They also set up the whole universe.

Alden Ehrenreich to play Han Solo in three movies? (http://moviehole.net/2016107095han-solo-alden-ehrenreich)

Disney is developing its upcoming Han Solo “Star Wars” spinoff as a three-picture package, reports New York Daily News.

Alden Ehrenreich, who is on board to play Solo in the spinoff, has reportedly signed on to do three films, ensuring he’ll return to play the character should (or should I say when) the first film make it big at the box office.

The spinoff is set to focus on the character’s early years and will be directed by “Lego Movie” helmers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.

[CyberCubed]

Do not want. The actor is already close to Harrison Ford's age in Episode 4, if they do 3 films he'll be past that.

[Zak The Neutrino]

I'm not overly thrilled with this idea but I will still at least see the first one.

For everyone worried about over saturation I think that is jumping the gun a bit and we are far from that. As of the current schedule Disney/Lucas Film is working on the plans of one movie per year. This is probably super smart as it capitalizes the most on merchandise.

Think about this. Marvel has been doing 2-3 movies per year. I would argue the SW universe is much larger than MCU. With MCU you have all super heroes that are mainly on the same planet and mostly in the same time frame. With SW you have the whole universe and it's clear they aren't pulling from all the same time frames.

[ToTheNines]

Do not want. The actor is already close to Harrison Ford's age in Episode 4, if they do 3 films he'll be past that.

He's 26. Harrison Ford was 35 when Star Wars came out.

You're a non-googling mother fuc*er aren't you?

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I'm cautiously intrigued by a Han Solo movie trilogy.

[CyberCubed]

He's 26. Harrison Ford was 35 when Star Wars came out.

You're a non-googling mother fuc*er aren't you?

He's only 26? Looking at his face I thought he was in his 30's. He has an old-man face already. Definitely doesn't look like most young people in their mid 20's.

Its amazing how some people in their 20's already look like old men, whereas when I was in my 20's I still looked like a teenager. Go figure.

Just because you're already trying out colostomy bags at age 30 doesn't mean every 30-yr-old has one wheelchair wheel already in the grave...

[CyberCubed]

He has a receding hairline already. Seriously look at his picture in the link above, you don't think he looks like he's 30 something?

I think you're forgetting a lot of 20 year olds still have pudgy baby faces. We just look like older teenagers. 30 year olds have that "gruff" outline to their faces.

I've looked like a scruffy Weapon X reject since I was sixteen. Genetics are different for each person.

[CyberCubed]

This is very strange. Even at my job when new young 22 year olds would first start you would know they look young because they have baby fat in their faces.

You ever work somewhere and you get these new workers who are only like 22-23 because they just came out of College? And everyone can tell from the moment they look at them that they're very young because of the way their faces look with baby fat?

I mean at any job just by looking at someone you can sort of guess or ballpark their age range.

Seriously though, this new "young" Han Solo...he already looks like an old man.

In fact I even think Han in the first movie looks younger there than this guy does now, and he was 10 years older at the time.

No, he looks younger than Ford.

[CyberCubed]

But he still looks 30.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

But he still looks 30.

As opposed to Ford, who looked 40?

[CyberCubed]

They never said Harrisson's age in the movie I don't think, so he was just the older guy.

But this guy is specifically cast as "young Han solo" but he doesn't look young. Makes no sense. Are we to believe this guy even looks remotely similar to Harrison Ford?

Ah, I see the problem now.

You're still convinced 30 is the age where men need viagra, colostomy bags, oxygen masks, and a wheelchair.

30 is young.

Sounds to me like you would have been more happy if they had cast Zac Efron. Then we could have gotten Star Wars musical. :lol:

[CyberCubed]

When they said they were casting a young Han Solo I assumed they would go with an 18 year old or young kid.

Look at the actor they cast as Spiderman in Civil War and the reboot, he actually looks like a young kid. I was expecting a "young Han" similar to that...not a guy who was pushing 30 with a receding hair line.

[ToTheNines]

I'm willing to give this guy a chance, if only because they didn't go with Dave Franco or Miles Teller. Either would have made this an easy pass.

[CyberCubed]

There is only one real Han Solo, Harrisson Ford. This guys face isn't congruent enough. Its just not congruent enough.

What Han Solo looks like is the main problem. His face just isn't congruent like Harrison Ford's face is.

Sounds to me like you would have been more happy if they had cast Zac Efron. Then we could have gotten Star Wars musical. :lol:

I would have said the same thing until I saw Efron in "The Paperboy."

He might not have been such a bad choice.

Woody Harrelson Is "Top Choice" To Plan HAN SOLO's Mentor In The Upcoming STAR WARS Anthology Movie (https://www.comicbookmovie.com/sci-fi/star_wars/woody-harrelson-is-top-choice-to-plan-han-solos-mentor-in-the-a147865)

[CyberCubed]

So we have a "young" Han Solo who looks older than Han Solo did in the first movie, not to mention he doesn't look anything like Harrison Ford in the first place.

Who thought this was a good idea?

[TheSkeletonMan939]

:tlol: wtf kind of tag is "autism awareness" for this thread?

Anyway.... is anyone in the world looking forward to this? Didn't we just say goodbye to Han Solo?

[CyberCubed]

That's what also I don't like. If they're already recasting Harrison Ford in a prequel-ish movie, what's to stop them from doing the same and recasting Luke and Leia for future movies?

At this point they could set a movie between episode 6 and 7 when Luke/Han/Leia are all in their 30's-40's.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Yeah, it all stinks. We lucked out with Rogue One being as good as it was, but otherwise I think the Disney buyout is waayyyy worse to SW than the prequels were, and these anthology films are a big part of that.

[sdp]

My thoughts exactly, I've written about it many times about (http://miscrave.com/articles/annual-star-wars-spin-offs/) it. No one wants a young han solo film while Ford is still alive, there's literally hundreds of movies they can make about SW and they go for the cheap nostalgia route for the first two spin-offs?

[CyberCubed]

To be fair those rumors about a Yoda or Boba Fett movie sounded equally horrible. I wouldn't be surprised if they do make them eventually though.

An Obi-wan film between episodes 3 and 4 with the actor from the prequels reprising his role is what most people seem to want on other sites.

[Andrew NDB]

Yeah, hard to get too excited about this. It's like, oh look, Millennium Falcon and Han and Chewie again... I guess soon they'll tantalize us with TIE Fighters and Star Destroyers, too. Wait for it. 4 movies into Disney's ownership of the property and 3 of them are wanton OT nostalgia movies (jury still out on Episode VIII). I don't mind the occasional one of these... but you have the keys to the whole SW universe, thousands of years of lore and an audience hungry for stuff that pushes forward and not backwards... and all you want to do is tell OT character movies or recreate OT stories?

:roll:

[DestronMirage22]

"I've got a bad feeling about this."

[CyberCubed]

I just don't get why they picked an actor that looks nothing like Harrison Ford and also looks actually OLDER than he did in Episode 4.

Like, what the hell? Surely they could have found a young Harrison Ford look-a-like in Hollywood.

[Andrew NDB]

I like the idea of Woody Harrelson being in a Star Wars movie, Maybe his character was a smuggler before.

I can't imagine what else they would want to cast him as. Probably Han's mentor.

Watch them sneak in some "Han shoots first" gag in this.

[CyberCubed]

Harrison Ford also has a very distinct voice that's immediately recognizable from any other male actor. It's why when you hear Han Solo in the Star Wars videogames his voice always sounds off, because it's a different voice actor playing his character in the games and they can never replicate his voice perfectly.

I don't know what this actor in this movie sounds like, but I have no idea if he can duplicate Harrison Ford's voice tone or mannerisms. I just can't see it. So it's a lot more than his face being wrong for Han, his voice and mannerisms won't be right either.

Due to creative differences, obvious they had a vision that didn't go well with what Lucasfilm wanted.

It goes to show how much control Lucasfilm has over these Star Wars films, If they see something bad, they find someone else to work on it, and the result is the movies turning out really well.

first Josh Trank and now Phil Lord And Christopher Miller, They didn't want to play ball with Lucasfilm, so they were let go, Lucasfilm needs to find a director that is on the same page as them.

[CyberCubed]

This movie should have never been greenlit in the first place. Star Wars fans would never accept anyone other than Harrison Ford as Han Solo.

[NinjaPug]

From Variety:

Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s reputation for writing irreverent, poppy films such as “21 Jump Street” and “The Lego Movie” helped the white-hot writing and directing duo land one of the most coveted gigs in Hollywood — a chance to call the shots on a “Star Wars” film.

But their chance to put their stamp on a galaxy far, far away collapsed on Tuesday with the stunning announcement that the pair would be departing the still untitled Han Solo spin-off movie in the midst of production. Their exit comes after months of conflict with producer Kathleen Kennedy, others from her LucasFilm team, and co-writer and executive producer Lawrence Kasdan, and the two directors hired to infuse the “Star Wars” universe with a tongue-in-cheek sensibility.

Miller and Lord were stunned to find that they were not being granted freedom to run the production in the manner that they were accustomed to. They balked at Kennedy’s tight control on the set.

A person with knowledge of the production said that the chemistry between the directors and Kennedy was never right.

“It was a culture clash from day one,” the source said. “She didn’t even like the way they folded their socks.”

The source said that while Lord and Miller were supposedly hired for their vision and distinctive brand of filmmaking when it came to the “Star Wars” production, Kennedy did not approve of their shooting style and process of interacting with actors and crew. “They weren’t given the leeway to do what they had to do,” the source said.

The duo also clashed with Kasdan, who has been an integral creative part of several “Star Wars” movies, dating back the the 1980 “The Empire Strikes Back.” Like Kennedy, he questioned many of the pair’s directing choices.

“Kathy, her team and Larry Kasdan have been doing it their way for a very long time. They know how the cheese is made and that’s how they want it made,” said the source. “It became a very polarizing set.”

In statements accompanying news of the directing shakeup, both Kennedy and Lord and Miller alluded to differing visions for the project.

“Unfortunately, our vision and process weren’t aligned with our partners on this project. We normally aren’t fans of the phrase ‘creative differences’ but for once this cliché is true. We are really proud of the amazing and world-class work of our cast and crew,” said Lord and Miller in a statement.

Kennedy promised a new director would be announced shortly. It is unclear if and how Lord and Miller will be credited on the movie. Hollywood insiders said their forced departure in the middle of filming was a highly unusual situation.

Kennedy said in a statement, “Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are talented filmmakers who have assembled an incredible cast and crew, but it’s become clear that we had different creative visions on this film, and we’ve decided to part ways.”

The directors did not leave the production voluntarily, but were fired by LucasFilm. The decision comes as the Han Solo film still has several weeks left to shoot, according to another individual with knowledge of the production. An additional several weeks of reshoots have been planned to take place later this summer.

It’s not clear who will take over directing duties from Lord and Miller. Tony Gilroy (“Michael Clayton”) oversaw some of the reshoots for “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” However, he will not be directing the Han Solo film, according to his spokesperson.

Kennedy had her own ideas about how the film should be shot. In an interview with Variety last year, she said she wanted the film to have “…a heist or Western type feel,” adding, “We’ve talked about [Frederic] Remington and those primary colors that are used in his paintings defining the look and feel of the film.”

Some insiders believe that while Kennedy wants to make a splash by hiring young indie directors such as Gareth Edwards (“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”) and Rian Johnson (“Star Wars: The Last Jedi”), she’s ultimately unwilling to empower them to make their own creative decisions.

Unlike Edwards and Johnson, Miller and Lord felt they had earned their stripes, having worked extensively in the major studio system.

The Han Solo film will focus on the Millennium Falcon pilot’s early days as a smuggler. The film stars Alden Ehrenreich in the role Harrison Ford made famous. The cast includes Donald Glover, Thandie Newton, Woody Harrelson, Michael K. Williams, and Emilia Clarke.

A spokesperson for Disney declined comment, other than to say that the Han Solo standalone remains slated for a May 25, 2018, release date. Lord and Miller’s reps also declined comment.

Welp, get ready for another souless TFA safe-for-everyone film that gets 100000% on RT when it's actually just a mediocre movie that psuedo intellectuals like "because it's a solid film lol".

This is the one movie even Disney Star Wars drones have criticized, so it has to be excellent to win over anyone, it might be Disney's first SW bomb. No one wants this story. We're getting Episode VIII this year, a yearly SW film since TFA and isn't the Han Solo movie coming out in May? People will be all tired out. Way to ruin SW Disney.


I remember being mostly alone with only a few when I criticized EpVII but ever since then more and more people are critical of the way Disney has handled SWs.

When i got to watching it, and the first minute kylo ren and the joker storm troopers hit the screen...that feeling sunk pretty fast. even though rey is likeable, it got worse when she came on the scene and pretty much dropped when the classic characters came in. in worse shape than they where since ROTJ.

I met Rick Mccullum, he was a jerk. He is a huge Star Wars fan and was mostly a yes man for Lucas. He has a Star Wars museum of his personal figure collection that he runs.

There was definitely drama on what happened to him because people always mention it but I have no idea what happened. Or am I confusing the story with Steve Sansweet?

You're confusing him with Sansweet. He has Rancho Obi-Wan.

But yeah, this is going to be garbage. CMPL were the only things the movie had going for it for most people. I actually think the idea of a Han Solo movie is great, but you'd need an extremely strong vision and script to pull it off.

Why do studios never seem to understand that too many cooks spoil the f*cking movie?

[snake]

Nevermind, I take it all back. The quips were the root of the problem. I wouldn't want Joss Wedon's Han Solo.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/star-wars-why-han-solo-movie-directors-were-fired-1015474

" Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the style and vision of Lord and Miller clashed with that of Lawrence Kasdan, the legendary screenwriter behind the classics "Empire Strikes Back" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", who also wrote, with his son, Jon Kasdan, the script for the Han Solo standalone set (for now) to be released in 2018.

Lord and Miller ("21 Jump Street", "The Lego Movie") have a comedic sensibility and improvisational style while Kasdan favors a strict adherence to the written word – what is on the page is what must be shot.

The creative clash, accordidng to one insider, came down to differences in understanding the character of Han Solo. “People need to understand that Han Solo is not a comedic personality. He’s sarcastic and selfish,” said that source.

The friction was felt almost immediately when the movie began shooting in February, sources say, but the directors always thought it could be worked through. Kennedy, the producer and head of Lucasfilm, decided to back her lifelong colleague, who shaped much of Solo’s character in "Empire" and "Return of the Jedi" and who had a specific tone in mind for the new movie. The duo also didn’t feel they had the support of producer Allison Shearmur, who was acting as Lucasfilm’s representative on the London set. "

Seriously though, they hire noobs so that they can trade off their name while still being able to push them around; maybe they should just hire workmen directors in the first place and tell them what to do.

[ZariusTwo]

About time someone put their foot down on Disney being so dependent on quips for characters.

[NinjaPug]

Obviously have no clue what the dailies look like but what was KK expecting when she hired L&M? They've got a pretty distinct style. With all the firings and replacements it seems like KK needs to do better due diligence when hiring directors. Kudos to L&M for not letting KK give them the Gareth Edwards treatment where you assist another director that KK wants to reshoot half of your movie.

I don't like reading that she sided with her friend Kasdan because the directors wanted to tweak the script by having the actors improv some of the lines. Kasdan hasn't created anything worthwhile in a long time.

I don't remember the jerk angle, but now that you bring it up, I DO remember the Severe Yes Man angle.

I wonder if all the lucas loyalists where the first thing to go when the company got bought, and the only thing that saved someone like dave filoni is that he was already deep into production on something disney needed to be a hit.

I agree he is. I was just stating he has not attempted them beyond The Da Vinci Code series. As for Willow, I never have heard of it. I think you mean he is familiar with LucasFilms opposed to helming x number of big budget blockbusters. I may not have known of directing for LucasFilms before but I do know he has worked for George Lucas himself in American Graffiti as its lead actor. If my signature does not suggest I do indeed think he is capable. I was surprised the biggest he had ever pursued was The Grinch and Da Vinci Code.

ahh, but according to alleged disney plants on other boards, everything is hunkey dorey, as it is with just about every film coming out of hollywood these days, apparently ;o)..

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Might as well cast a new "young" Luke or Leia too.

It's still a very nascent and very expensive technology, but that "make dead actors reappear" stuff in Rogue One is probably going to eventually take care of the young Luke/Leia problem. Now ideally Disney wouldn't waste time with the OT anymore, at all, but we all know that won't happen.

[sdp]

This movie is supposed to come out in less than a year from now, five months after Episode VIII.

I don't see that happening, it'll get delayed to December just like the previous films were and hopefully Star Wars stays as a yearly Christmas franchise instead of getting movies a few months apart like Marvel.


I guess if the movie really is that bad and the new Han Solo is the problem it wouldn't surprise me if it's cancelled and shelved forever. It's been a small minority that have complained about Episode VII and Rogue One but everyone is united, including some of the biggest Star Wars shills that this is a bad idea. I'm not sure if Lucasfilms wants to anger the current "Disney Star Wars can do no wrong" which started since Episode VII just for one film.

What I think might happen, eventually in the far future after the new trilogy wraps, is they're going to go back and "fill in the gaps" with Luke/Leia/Han post-Episode 6 but before Episode 7...essentially filling out those 30+ year gap or whatever it was where we don't know what happened.

So I think they're going to cast new actors for Luke/Leia/Han for a new trilogy of movies set after Episode 6, probably a while from now like in the 2020's or something. By then people will probably accept it because we need young actors to play their characters in that time, but as you said CG models won't work either.

I can see them doing something similar as the new Star Trek movies, cast new younger actors but in the same continuity/timeline just post-Episode 6.

[NinjaPug]

I wonder if the same 'fire the directors' pattern goes on for episode 9, if KK will stay on as head of LF, or if disney will finally can their yes person.

I don't understand what this means. Why would they fire someone they consider to be a "yes person" if her movies keep making over $1 billion a pop?

I guess I could see that. The new Han could reprise his role alongside whoever is the new Luke and Leia.

[sdp]

I guess it's possible if their hard-on for the OT continues but I don't see it. Now that Carie Fisher is gone they won't even try to insert young Leia as a CG character for many years, if she hadn't died I think they would've kept doing it.

The only way we'll see it I think is in a few years and in an all CG movie where everyone is CG including Luke, Han etc. Funnily enough, I remember a thread on Theforce.net about someone wanting to have Shadows of the Empire done in CG after Beowulf was released so like ten years ago but now it seems possible.

[CyberCubed]

They said they wouldn't recast Leia for episode 9, not that they would never recast Leia ever.

If they recast the entire main cast, then they'll obviously have a young Leia. They could even use Billie Lourd since now she's getting old enough to play a post Episode 6 Leia. Just dye her hair brown.

Also, that’s one weird cup. It has Solo and Chewbacca, Gamora, Deadpool and Domino, the guy from Fantastic Beasts, and Gnomeo and Juliet all together. Must be their way of promoting a bunch of upcoming films at once.

The Han image was photoshopped.

I still can't believe this thing is coming out in 6 months and we still haven't seen one official look at Alden as Han yet. Honestly I can't even believe this is still coming out in May when Ron Howard reshot 80% of the movie from July-October.

Some details about Paul Bettany's character in the Han Solo movie.
https://www.comicbookmovie.com/sci-fi/star_wars/solo-star-paul-bettany-reveals-the-first-details-of-his-brand-new-star-wars-character-a155268

Paul Bettany revealed the first details of this character during a panel at Rhode Island Comic Con. When asked by a fan whether or not he could reveal the character's name the actor said, "I'm not sure. I might get sued is that answer to that one. I can't answer that. But obviously I am a very cool intergalactic gangster."

[TigerClaw]

It looks like the reshoots for the Han Solo movie were more then intended, also the movie seems to be more of a caper this time.
https://www.comicbookmovie.com/sci-fi/star_wars/solo-a-star-wars-story-actor-paul-bettany-confirms-a-lot-more-of-the-film-was-reshot-than-intended-a156487

In the latest issue of Total Film, Paul Bettany (who is playing an unnamed "gangster" character in the film) expressed his excitement to be a part of the franchise, saying the film is very different despite the familiar title character. "It's Han Solo's story, and of course his story would be a caper," Bettany told the magazine. "On one level it's a gangster movie. That's really interesting, because it's within the canon but really different. It's f***ing Han Solo! Suddenly, I'm an intergalactic gangster and I'm walking down some stairs and an R2 unit goes by with some champagne, and I'm like... [drops jaw] I had that feeling that I hadn't had since I was first on a film set - I was a little boy doing the best job in the world."

Bettany also had high praise for Ron Howard, who took over the film's directorial duties when original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller were fired from the production last June. While it's been rumored for some time that Howard reshot most of the film, Bettany all but confirmed it in the interview.

“His staging ability is so f***ing brilliant,” Bettany said. “I think he went in and he was like a laser, working out what needed to be done when he looked at the footage. And then, as things moved on, everybody felt so secure with him. And they gave him more. He reshot a lot more than was originally intended.”

This is the only new Star Wars movie I really dislike the concept of to begin with. Unfortunately the movie is pretty much done (doesn't it release in May...only 5 months?), so there's no way to cancel it.

They should have planned out the Obi-wan solo film for 2018 instead. Would have been a much better fit.

I don't know, it has competition. They want - or wanted, if this thing bombs who knows what happens - a Yoda solo film, as well as others. It was clear when they announced what they were planning they were pushing forward on the idea of making obscene amounts of cash, brand integrity be damned, even if it doesn't make sense to make a film out of any given thing. Still, it's up there.

They did this to themselves, but I don't think anyone will cry for them. A bomb for Star Wars is likely on a different level than a bomb for another film. They're probably getting their money back at minimum. They just won't make the crazy dollars they want or expect.

They should have planned out the Obi-wan solo film for 2018 instead. Would have been a much better fit.
An Obi-Wan film feels like an equally silly idea. I mean, his story and life have been well covered and told even just in the material that's still canon (the films, Clone Wars and Rebels). Unless you want him to have a hermity adventure on the old sand planet I'm not sure what you can do, and even then, how do you make that particularly interesting on a "Star Wars" scale?

Awesome clickbait from Screen. Geek. Dot. Net.

I have hated the idea of this movie from the beginning but this is ridiculous. Lucasfilm increased Ron Howard's original workload because they liked what they saw from his dailies. He was originally brought in to film the last two weeks remaining of the original production and then oversee reshooting at a later date. He ended up filming continuously from July-end of October and reshot 80% of what Lord & Miller shot. You know Lucasfilm was very involved, probably at an extreme micro-management level, once Howard came on board. You think they'd keep throwing money at this if they didn't like what Howard was delivering and were expecting a bomb?

What would a bomb for a SW movie even look like from a box office perspective? Even if this has a $200 million budget it's probably breaking even from box office returns alone based on the SW name. That's forgetting about all the tie-in merchandise revenue it will generate as well.

[Andrew NDB]

Sort of. It sounds like they liked what they saw from his dailies, Howard himself pushed for reshooting more, and because they liked what they saw they acquiesced to his wishes.

If one were to conspiracy theorize on this... the "Solo" movie might be Disney's way of retroactively pasteurizing the character of "Han Solo," making him as least offensive as humanly possible to any group anywhere in preparation for Han Solo plushies and "'Han Solo: The Ride' Coming to Disneyland!" and all that kind of fluff.

[CyberCubed]

Given I doubt this movie will get a sequel and Harrison Ford is too old (and killed off) now, I don't see why. They can't very well promote Han in anything outside comics/toys anyway.

[dl316bh]

They never really did even when Lucas still had the franchise. I think part of it is because it's hard to replicate his charm without Harrison Ford. The other part is that all the really interesting stuff in his life was covered by the OT and the old EU stuff taking place after it. I think maybe you could have made a Wing Commander: Privateer style video game about his smuggling days but that's about it.

It reminds me a little bit of System Shock. Cult classics that pushed games in new ways, but never got the recognition they deserved or were overshadowed by other, bigger releases at the time. Though I feel like System Shock is at least a little better known these days, or at least its influence is recognized and it's been vindicated by history.

The problem is were getting a Star Wars movie every year, cause of that, they have to write those scripts really fast, cause they have a short amount of time to start filming it, and doing post production, in 2018 they will start filming Episode 9 when Solo: A Star Wars Story comes out.

[CyberCubed]

Completely different writers/directors work on each movie, it doesn't matter that a new movie comes out every year when completely different people work on them. Same reason we get 3 or so Marvel superhero movies every year, because they have completely different directors/writers.

They could do a lot worse than to emulate the better parts of the nu-EU. I think there's an issue of one of the current comics where Hera from Rebels meets up with Doctor Aphra from the Darth Vader series.

The movies aren't as satisfying as they could be overall, but every comic I've come across has been at least readable and entertaining.

I kinda miss that it isn't getting a December release. It just feels like a Star Wars tradition now.

Also, I don't really care to see "young" Han Solo and Lando because... they never seemed "old" to me in the original trilogy. I guess Ford was about 30 in the first film, right?
