And before you say anything The God Father 2 had multiple flashbacks so let’s not even.
Who’s that directed at?

In general, prequel to any film is inherently doomed to fail as it competes with an imagination of every person that saw the original film.
The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly and The Godfather 2 say hi.
The Dollars Trilogy seems so unrelated to each other that you cannot even consider them sequel/prequel with respect to each other.
As for Godfather 2, I actually dislike the backstory part of the film.

My hope for the film at this point is that they hold to their statement that it won’t be an origin story. I’d rather see it just be a standalone adventure with Han and Chewie, ala At Stars End.

I would prefer they do some story that involves telling us WHY he is so self centered in ANH. Why he shuts people out and doesn’t really care about anyone but he and chewie.
I’m sure that’s what we’ll get. We’ll get the ONE MOMENT that made him the way he is, how he got the vest, how he won the falcon, ect.
Bleh.

Anyone who would have said “The God Father 2 was a sequel though. What are you talking about?”

There is a huge difference between a few seconds appearance (which I don’t mind) and a prequel being entirely about the character…
If by “a few seconds” you mean three whole movies, then sure… A few seconds…
I thought you meant TFA appearance. As for PT, yes McGregor did a fine job with acting. However, that unfortunately doesn’t change anything for me. I would by far prefer Obi-Wan’s backstory (and the whole OT backstory) to be left alone.

Yeah. I think the key to a good peek at a character’s past is only thru short little flashbacks. You try to make a whole book on it and it just grates. I don’t know. I think when we’ve all had as long as we’ve had to put our own favorite flavor on how stuff started it’s a pretty mean thing to come along and repave it all. Especially when the actor chosen looks older than Hans did when we first met him. I mean this is gonna be a real stretch.
K. Let’s have this ride.

If this is handled well, it could end up great. Tarantino movie in space (without the violence, obviously). If it’s not, wel…
Tarantino movie without violence? That’s like a David Lynch movie that makes sense.
The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, and The Straight Story all exist, thus your joke ultimately fails.
But… I didn’t say that. I said a David Lynch movie without midgets, not a David Lynch movie that makes sense… They all make perfect sense to me. Especially Eraserhead.

The movie hasn’t been made yet, and I haven’t seen it, but it sucked.

If you think that the film sucks then it is natural to assume you don’t like it. Unless you like films that you think they suck.

You guys are exhausting. How about steering the conversation back to the film and take a breather from claiming how good you are at knowing a film will suck 19 months before it’s released.

I think Mr Erlich has much deeper issues than a Han Solo film. That type of journalism is beyond annoying to me. He’s not discussing his thoughts on the film or the actor. His weird statement that actors are just placeholders for a role because they aren’t important doesn’t fit into a discussion about a movie where the new actor is taking the reigns 40 years after the original actor first played him.
Instead, he’s stating his opinions as though they’re indisputable facts and using the Han Solo casting as a way to demonstrate his deep insight on film making and the people who go to the theater. He doesn’t even offer up the possibility that others may disagree or that he may be mistaken. Not to mention there are more than a few of his matter-of-fact statements that are wrong.
Also, if he’s going to poach from Game Of Thrones to make himself appear profound, at least give the show credit.
In answer to your asking for our thoughts, I think Mr Erlich is a hack and the piece is a rant he tried to disguise as insight. He ends up saying and/or proving nothing. Truthfully, I only read all of it because it’s relevant (barely) to this thread.

I know opinions here vary wildly about JJ’s Trek films, but personally I thought they had the right idea as far as casting goes. None of the crew are actually doing impressions of the original characters (except Karl Urban), but most of them nail the vibe. That’s what I want from a Star Wars recasting, because even if whoever they got was absolutely dead on I’d never be fooled. They ought not try to disguise the fact that they have a new actor, because that’s never going to work.

I agree. I’ll go on step further and say I think it might even be a distraction.

I respect your opinion, but I think George Lazenby is too elderly to play a young Han Solo.
