Can Disney control ticket prices?

They can wrangle a bigger cut of the box office from the theaters, for example Disney gets something like 60% of the ticket sales for the Last Jedi the first few weeks. Its why concessions are so expensive: that’s how the theaters make money.

It seems like people are really embracing the new characters. In fact, the big question people ask me now about Star Wars is, “Are Finn and Poe gay lovers?” And really how the f*ck would I know? My second husband left me for a man, so my gaydar isn’t exactly what you’d call Death Star level quality. ----Carrie Fisher

I don’t know if those promo images will indeed prove to show legit versions of young Lando’s haircut and the Falcon’s re-design, or not…but I just hope that any ‘whooping’ and ‘hollering’ by the leads will be kept to a minimum in this…

But there should at least be some, no?

Not necessarily, but I’m hoping that kind of thing is kept to a minimum if it DOES feature.

The single ‘whoop’ we got from Han as he helped Luke out at the end of ANH was terrific at that point (as was Lando’s at the end of ROTJ when the Falcon escaped the blast), but I’d rather that this movie doesn’t end up littered with them. Poe and Finn have got that kind of thing more than covered at this point. 😉

It’s not so much Alden Ehrenreich’s portrayal of Han that I’m wary about at this point…it’s whether the character will be written to have too much of an over-confident, ‘whooping flyboy’ persona in this, rather than having a more casual, laconic humour about him overall.

I reckon it would be very easy for the writer’s to end up turning Han and Lando into a parody of their saga characters, but I’m hoping for the best.

(still, great news to hear of John William’s involvement in this latest entry)

You know this was written by Lawrence Kasdan right? One would think he’d be the most qualified person for the job…

Sure, one would hope Tobar…but we’ll soon find out about the actual ‘tone’ of this movie before too long now.

I am actually interested in this movie. Why? Because I’ve never thought about young Han Solo. I thought about what Luke might do after ROTJ, I thought about what happened before the OT (before I saw PT).

There isn’t anything this movie can ruin for me, no expectations it can fall short of.

^ a pretty good attitude to have mate, and also a refreshing one given the amount of negativity on here of late.

Let’s hope it’s an enjoyable one 😃

I originally had very little interest in RO and it ended up being my favourite Disney SW movie so far, so I’m cautiously optimistic about Solo.

Like with RO I think a lot of people will get more positive about this movie once the trailer comes out.

I think with Rogue One some people were just upset that it wasn’t a Rogue Squadron movie. I know I had people I know constantly asking if I was excited for the Rogue Squadron movie, then getting disappointed or even upset when I reminded them that it wasn’t that at all. Then when the first trailer dropped I stopped hearing the Rogue Squadron stuff.

So, Disney’s makin’ a movie about a young gunslingin’ drug smuggler?
Yeah, right.
There’s zero chance the young Han I’ve always envisioned (and SW alluded to) will be the character in this film.

True but their may be a few highlights that we already know
• winning millennium falcon
• meeting chewie
• was he in the prequels?
And I expect there will be more to come

Still a little worried about a young Han Solo

That will be the hardest thing to do right. I can’t imagine anyone replacing Ford.

Btw why is there a hyphen in-between Han and Solo in the title?

It might just be called solo

And the first comment is a sideways TLJ slam of course.

Aye mate - though the guy who said that has a deified pic of Kevin Spacey as his twitter title pic - so bollocks to him 😃

Neat, but too fuzzy to make out any character names we don’t already know.

I’m cautiously optimistic about this movie.
Lawrence Kasdan and John Williams involvement is really exciting, but do we need to see this story? That can be said about any movie ever made, but have I ever cared what the Kessel Run looked like?

Did we need the Brian Daley Solo novels in that long stretch between SW and ESB? We can do with some fun in the GFFA without all the heavy Jedi vs. Sith stuff once in a while.

I’m sure with the non-Lego version it will be easier to tell. It’s a safe bet we’re seeing the Falcon before Han makes all those modifications.

Han’s speeder. Wow! That set looks awesome. Most sets look like crap to me these days, never mind stupid expensive, that set looks fun.
