Whenever I see Ehrenreich’s Han Solo I can only see young Leo DiCaprio.

Trailer looked pretty good. This movie may actually be a lot of fun.

The trailer is good.
-
Ehrenreich doesnt have to be the spitting image of Solo but has to capture the spirit of Solo; or at least the spirit of a younger Solo
-
This doesnt seem like its centered around Solo. Wondering if the criticisms of Ehrenreich’s acting were true and thus mitigated by making him less of a focal point.

Dude, the movie is literally called “Solo” 😉
Seriously though, they only had a minute and a half to grab our attention. It looks like there’s a lot of characters in this movie who are part of the main plot so it makes sense to show them off. And realistically it’s not like they re-wrote large parts of the story when they found the actor they hired for the lead role wasn’t “good” at his job. They’d have just fired him and found someone else.

But trailers are designed to maximise the hype, and presumably this was the best they could do in terms of crowd pleasing sound bites even after all the delays.
Well I haven’t seen it but I’m electing to defend it regardless!
FTFY
You will never see me say that a trailer proves a performance will be bad or “wrong.” I just on principle don’t think it’s a fair indication.
As it should be, frankly.
No one is going to do a bang up impersonation of another actor and still be effective in the role because more times than not it comes off half baked.
I am quite happy to let this movie entertain me…or not but it won’t be due to the title actor not being able to sound like Harrison Ford but whether the movie as a whole is something I like.
Btw does that guy really look like Lando either? Doesn’t to me but that’s OK.
Glover is definitely more Lando than Ehrenreich is Solo.
I don’t see it…Glover doesn’t say anything. The only thing I saw that was Lando was the cape and that one smile.

It convinced me more than the smile from Ehrenreich from the TV spot.

So the next trailer should be early to mid April I’m guessing. That one should give us more dialogue and a basic storyline.

I’d be extremely surprised if that happens. I bet we get at least one more.

movie looks fun. Everyone seems believable. Haven’t seen anything yet from Ehenreich to make me believe he has the ‘Solo’ charisma. Even that clip of him telling everyone “it’s fine” seemed like a bad take.
He just seems muted. Ford always seemed to say he played Solo as the dumbest but most arrogant of his characters.
We’ve seen hardly any actual scenes or dialog, so maybe what we have seen was old footage before all the reshoots.
Still excited for the film. Still concerned about the lead.

Everything except the voice over felt very Han-Solo-ish to me. And I think it was more so because of the subject matter, not his delivery. His look, his manner of speaking, his interaction with the other characters, I’m very pleased with it all. Knowing the behind the scenes drama, I just hope this isn’t the best of the best, but rather just a preview of greater things to come.

Something that hit me today is this whole movie is essentially a giant “Han shot last”. Everyone freaked out at changing Han in ANH from shooting first because it changed his character from a ruthless scoundrel selfish smuggler who has no problem killing who made friends and turned out to be a hero in the end to somebody who was “always good” and would never shoot first, or at least without provocation. This movie will unavoidably portray Han in a heroic light (because that’s what Star Wars is) which completely undermines his OT arc worse than shooting last did in the SE.
I can still enjoy it, though. But yeah, that guy is not Han. No way no how. Donald Glover looks amazing as Lando, though.
I do wish that the film looked more vibrant and colourful like the posters make it out to be. Yet we still have that grit stark contrasting light. I don’t mind a gritty look, but we’ve had it in 3 movies now. It’d be nice to have a change of style. Those poster look awesome. Kind of like a 60s sci-fi/70s western look.

It kinda reminds me of Batman Begins, but it’s Han Solo’s journey, not Bruce Wayne. It has that look, if you know what I mean.

I don’t think anyone here can really speak to what makes for success in marketing (especially when you consider most of us will see it anyway, trailer or not). I don’t think they wouldn’t put out another trailer, but if they don’t, they obviously have reasoning for that. If the movie succeeds, then clearly they had good reasoning.

We’ll have to wait and see. It would make all the sense in the world for Han to begin as an optimistic, ambitious young man and end the film jaded and dark.
You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

Ehrenreich seems to have Han’s mannerisms down. It’s all going to boil down to whether us old fogeys accept him as Han Solo or not. I had no problems accepting the cast of Star Trek 2009, because in the end I saw Kirk Spock and McCoy on the screen even if they were being portrayed by different actors.
In the end Ehrenreich has to be Han, not Harrison. If he can make Han his own, it’s going to be a fun ride.
Yes!! That’s it exactly. Well put Wook. He has to be Han, not Ford. Good point on Trek. As I’ve said many times before, if you can recast Kirk, Spock, and McCoy (and they did a fantastic job), you can recast anyone.

Don’t forget that whilst running from the Rathtars in The Force Awakens Han stopped, turned back and threw that other bloke right into the Rathtar’s mouth to give everybody a little bit more time to escape.

The teaser looks pretty good and interesting but so did all the trailers for TLJ and that didn’t work out for me very well in the end.
I don’t buy the young Solo yet either.

I’ve read it. You are stating that if the film succeeds, their reasoning was good. You are assuming the success is directly related to a decision that isn’t particularly traditional.
The one doesn’t prove the other, as I tried to explain.

What I’m saying is if that becomes their strategy (which, again, I doubt), I don’t think it’ll be because they’re throwing their arms up in the air and saying “well whatever, let’s hope for good luck it works!”
Just because it isn’t traditional doesn’t mean it’s bad.
