Is anyone else concerned that apparently the reason why the reason they are already narrowing down the casting is for a cameo in Rogue One? I don’t see where Han Solo would fit into a story revolving around stealing the Death Star plans.
I think one way it could work if it were just some sort of post credits scene where we see the Falcon approaching Tatooine and Han talking to Chewy about the shipment they just had drop and trying to figure out how they were going to pay back Jabba who would surely have bounty on him by now. It could then show them deciding to head to Mos Eisley to hopefully find some work. That would actually be kind of a cool lead up to the OT and as a post credits scene it wouldn’t feel shoehorned into the movie.
Yep, but that’s what you get with Disney. They cross market everything and try to tie every single movie together by shoehorning in characters and plot points to help promote their next giant blockbuster. The actual story and quality of the films will always take a backseat to their marketing timeline.
