A Han Solo/Boba Fett movie would also cover a lot of bases.

That’s certainly plausible. It is very interesting that the Boba Fett film hasn’t yet been confirmed. The rumor’s been around for what, four years now? and has been backed up by so many sources there’s almost no chance it isn’t true. It seems like that was the movie Josh Trank was working on (and was slated for 2018 release), but you have to wonder why they at the very least pushed it back when they lost the director.

Trank was clearly I nightmare but I suspect there might be some concern over a Fett standalone. A bounty hunter film with a mask wearing protagonist is quite a big leap to make for the franchise (not to mention the actor controversy). Might be easier to do a crossover with Solo.

Who thinks Boba Fett, Jabba the Hutt and Vader will appear in this?

Hutt possibly, Fett maybe not, Vader definitely no.

I think the real reason that Han Solo has such an attachment with the Falcon, is because he lost friends near to him on that ship.

I hope the Falcon looks a little different, as he made a lot of modifications to that ship. I pray they get that right. I see the cockpit inside looks different, that’s good.

I also hope that from day one, the Falcon still has hyperdrive issues and just shuts down all the time. I can see Woody asking Han, “You still haven’t fixed that thing?”

I feel like there’s a good chance Solo won’t have the Falcon at the start of the film.

I’m a bit worried about this movie for a number of reasons. Actually, worried is the wrong word. I’m far too jaded about Star Wars to worry about anything these days.

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.

Secondly, Emilia Clarke. I am not being at all hyperbolic when I say she is the worst actress who has ever lived. Obviously it doesn’t help that her character on Game of Thrones is very boring and poorly written, but she manages to somehow make Daenerys even worse through her portrayal. Her delivery of the dialogue is just cringeworthy (e.g. “WHERE ARE MY DRAGONS?!”) - I’m predicting she will give Hayden a run for his money as the most wooden and monotonous portrayal of a character in a Star Wars movie.

Moreover I’m sure this movie will continue with Disney’s trend of shoving in as much yawn-inducing, eye-roll worthy fanservice as they possibly can. Anyone wanna throw out any guesses of what this might include? I’m gonna say Lando will lose the Falcon to Han and say something like “promise me she won’t get a scratch”, then look directly at the camera.

The Special Edition of Star Wars already ruined his character. But yes, this could be the final blow.

Shhhh, don’t say that around Ryan-SWI, he’ll get very upset.

The only thing more upsetting is that you’ve spent countless years making fun of people on the internet. How fulfilling.

It doesn’t matter how crap the Han Solo film may or may not be, either way it’ll make close to a billion dollars and everyone will claim it’s the best thing ever, just like the endless Marvel films that come out every year. Disney makes products first and foremost.

This is why I’ve said that a movie about Lando would be much better. Lando seems to have gone through the life changes we see Han make during the OT before we meet him. There’s a much better backstory to tell with Lando and, obviously, Han could still be there.

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.

It’s been in the Marvel comic and novel since day one. 😉

It’s also possible we see how Han becomes the cynical person we meet at the Cantina, who only trusts a Wookiee. Rogue One didn’t exactly have a happy ending, so I think the other spinoffs have some leeway now. 😉

Does Han even need a mentor? I’m really not excited for this, the only saving graces (IMO, of course) are Donald Glover and the directors.

I think Woody Harrelson plays a good scoundrel. He’s could play the kind of “mentor” that exploits the young Solo and maybe Solo breaks ties with him.

I do share your concerns of his arc being ruined. Yet another reason why this was a poor idea for a stand alone in my opinion.

Indeed, people sometimes forget that Han’s arc is more of a slow reveal of the man beneath the ‘tough-guy smuggler’ mask.

I think we will see him go from fly by the seat of his pants and optimistic, to very cautious and pessimistic. That will be his arc in this film
