I’m incapable of seeing Woody Harrelson without thinking of Woody Boyd.

+1 (that’s not to say I’m against seeing Boyd in space though 😉 )

Neat Teaser. I approve!

Hell Yeah!!!

Still pretty neutral about the movie and cautious. It all hinges on how Han is played. I do like the visual look of the movie however. The pristine falcon walls and gold lady are some cool touches.

What happened to the colors ? You know, that little thing we got in both the OT and the PT and which seems to be absent of the Disney Era…

Will someone think of the collars!?

And it also seems to be a nice continuation of the Rogue One’s heightened realism aesthetic.

It’s SW. Why would anyone want a “realism aesthetic” ? I really miss when SW were space-op movies and not gray looking Marvel flicks…

I don’t see how the ST movies so far have been colourless. I would have described both of them as being quite colourful, especially by modern standards.

Also, RO was supposed to be a more gritty war-movie, and Solo might go for a similar style. Plus, it is set during the early days of Imperial tyranny, and the whole “hope” themes of the OT and RO isn’t really that relevant yet. n addition this story is about a group of criminals during Imperial rule, so colourful isn’t really necessary.

And as for “realism aesthetic”, isn’t that kind of what made ANH stand out from sci-fi at the time? That unlike previous science fiction like, f. ex. Star Trek, it looked “realistic”. The OT wasn’t overly colourful, it had many grey or single-coloured interiors, the space ships were dirty and look worn, and ANH even had shaky-cam scenes. The OT, was, for the most part, not that much more colourful than what you naturally got from shooting in colourful environments (like Tunisia for Tatooine or northern California for Endor).

I like the space-monster at the end, reminds me of the space-slug in ESB. And it “explains” how Han seemed so quick to realize that the ‘cave’ was alive.

I’m also intrigued by the new villain. He/they don’t seem Imperial, which is a much needed change from the last three films.

Hard to judge Ehrenreich from just this trailer, but I think his voice is going to take a lot of time to get used to. It’s not as deep as Ford’s, but then again this is a young Han Solo. However, from the few lines in the trailer I think he does a fine job at mimicking Ford’s speech patterns in the OT, without making it too similar.

I also think its funny how different this trailer was in tone from the TV spot from yesterday. This felt more lighthearted and comedic while the TV spot had a RO feel to it.

EDIT:

Maybe I’ over-analyzing here, but did anyone else get the impression that this moment was from the Lord and Miller shoot? The humour strikes me as a little weird, and I started to wonder if maybe they’re trying to test the audience reactions to see what they’ll keep in the final cut of the film. Kind of like how the “I rebel” line from the RO trailers were removed from the final movie.

I like 'em… I imagine the talented dvd & blu ray cover & art wizards on here will too 😃

Looks like a lot of fun. I’m definitely looking forward to this now, though the I’m still not quite buying Han. He looks okay, but his voice just sounds so wrong.
