The thing about Han is that he’s a smuggler. A scoundrel. He’s not a savory character in Star Wars. He’s a mercenary, but somewhere deep down he’s not all that bad. But you have to really get deep down, and that’s what a good climax in a movie does. It takes something really big and meaningful to bring that out in Han’s character, and it’s saved for the end of the movie.
The question has to be asked what kind of Han movie does Disney want to make?
The smuggling world…does anyone really think Disney can pull that off? Is it going to be credible in the same style and tone as Star Wars? Or is it going to feel like the pirates in the POTC movies? What about bro humor and buddy movies? Or the Jabba SE scene? Or the goofball smugglers that reminded me of the Hook kids all grown up?
I don’t think any of these things are Han Solo.
Someone addressed it early in the thread, but I don’t think Disney is even capable of making a good Han Solo movie at a fundamental level. It’s not their brand.
