For one, I get the feeling that this film will totally ruin Han’s arc in ANH. He goes from “cynical smuggler who cares only about himself” to “rogue who sacrifices his own interests to save his friends” in the course of the film. That’s his character. If they try and make Han out to be a good guy in the standalone movie (which they will; this is Disney we’re talking about here) it will spoil his character progression. This will make his whole subplot in ANH completely pointless.
Han is a good guy deep down though, I think that’s always been there. They shouldn’t forget his arc in SW but they shouldn’t make him a complete dick either.
And I think we can put aside all that “this is Disney” bullshit by now.
Secondly, Emilia Clarke. I am not being at all hyperbolic when I say she is the worst actress who has ever lived.
I’m no Clarke fan, but yeah, this is absolutely hyperbolic.
