Great or not, I’m just not interested in it. I feel about as apathetic about Star Wars as I did about the Carrie remake. Which is really sad but I guess it just proves to me that I was never a Star Wars fan, just a fan of three specific movies.

Right there with you. This has only increased as more movies have come out. TFA was great, but doesn’t do enough to warrant classic-status. Rogue One irritated me. Neither of them are bad enough to skip in a marathon, like the prequels are. I expect I’ll feel similarly about the others.

Han Solo movie? Lol no. Can’t stand contemporary pretty-boy actors. (Even reformed stormtrooper guy in TFA was a little hard to take.)

I generally feel the same way. Someone said hating everything contemporary is a miserable way to live life; they’re probably right. Being surrounded by contemporary-minded people in a contemporary world and hating contemporary things won’t work out for long. But, trends of contemporary movies don’t last forever, and pretty-boy actors get on my nerves too. Can’t wait until it becomes unfashionable again, like it did in the 70s to some extent.

Alden Ehrenreich is no more a pretty boy actor than Harrison Ford was in 77.

Haha so wrong.
Harrison always had the quintessential asymmetrical, gloriously flawed features of a deep-character tough guy.
You’re so out of your element you deserve naught but instant liquidation.

Harrison was always a hot mofo, especially in the 70s. The older he got, the tougher he looked.

Alden’s no pretty boy is my point though. He’s handsome, but so is Han Solo. If he doesn’t look as tough as mid-30s Ford, maybe that’s because he’s not that old.
