I'm not pleased with any of this. Really unsure what to think now. Maybe a new Last Jedi trailer will make me feel better.

You'll get one in a couple weeks.

Basically, nobody gets their way in the SW Universe except Kathleen Kennedy...not even JJ.

I don't know if anyone saw this or not, but it looks like the Han Solo "Force Whatever" launch event is on 4/20 this year...  I assume part of the reason Disney does not want to push back the release date is that the huge merchandise push, which is probably around many billions of dollars in inventory is about to be released around then.  So, 4/20/18 sounds like the date all the new Han Solo merchandise hits the market.

Solo Friday? 

We should see the sets sooner then if they're an April release.

4/20 is a great date for anything to do with the Han Solo movie... as you'd have to be high to mistake Alden Ehrenreich for Harrison Ford

I just really don't see the resemblance.  Maybe they should have made more of an effort to keep his signature 70s/80s hairstyle.

Alden Ehrenreich looks nothing like Harrison Ford's Han Solo no matter how hard Disney tries  

I watched "Hail, Ceaser" last night.  Good film and Ehrenreich was solid in it.  Still, he looks nothing like Ford.  

Any Han Solo film w/o Ford  should be in Development Hell forever. 

Confirmed, another alien has been added to the cast.

Han Solo: Clint Howard to appear in Star Wars spinoff
EW.com - 11m ago


A Ron Howard movie staple is coming for the Han Solo-centric Star Wars spin-off: the director's younger brother. Clint Howard will appear in the untitled film, ...

Thank you, Captain Obvious. [emoji14]

 

As if that wasn't going to happen.

 

I've got the perfect costume for him:

Ugh...really? I don't think they really needed to blast us Greedoly with the fact that this is a Han Solo story. Could have been a more intriguing title like something with Smuggler or something along that line.

I just see this logo and immediately think of...

Walked right into that one.  Don't even know why I trailed off there....  (see what I did there?)

I'm not feeling the title. Something with the word, "Smuggler" would have been nice. 

However, Ron Howard's presentation of the title was cool.

Ahh come on, you know how this is going to go down.  5 minutes before the premiere of the Last Jedi... youll see a shot of chewy, then lots of aliens, maybe even a shot of jabba, then pandomonium will hit when the new han solo finally says his lines.  It will be boos, WTF's, cheers, jeers and popcorn being tossed at the screen.  Then the giant "DA DA DAAAAA" will burst over the speakers as the floating text appears showing floating space text about episode 8.  This will usher in more cheers, jeers, and pandomonium and it will all settle in until popcorn is thrown at the end of the show when Luke turns to the dark side ..

"Smuggler" has negative connotations like "Slave"..  so, Kathleen Turner was probably against it..

My thoughts exactly. I doubt there is very little terminology available for young han solo that would that Disney would approve of.

Fine. Then something like "I know" , "nerf-herder," laser brain or my fav, "Slimy, Double-CRossing No-Good Swindler".

"Solo: The Movie that no one asked for" that should be the title.
